  • nah OP, you go try making that triple layer cheesy bread

    though i’d perhaps encourage you to make it a single layer cheesy break, as to not get discouraged and have something yummy to eat when you’re done even if you kinda give up by the end

    your cooking journey has to start somewhere! might as well start with something you’d like to eat



  • yes that is indeed the moral dilemma of the trolley problem

    i’ve seen people claim that the decision is easy - but the comfort of this being a simple thought experiment softens the fact you are pulling the lever that’s going to kill that one person. If you don’t, sure 5 people die - but you can absolve yourself of guilt easier than if you pulled the lever and, in a way, caused that one death






  • that’s a very grim way of looking at goodness. Of course doing things you believe are making a positive change makes you feel good, of course helping your community makes you feel good, and it does feel nice to be recognised and known as a good person.

    It’s a strange ambient idea in our society, that to be truly good you must suffer, and never find joy in the good things you do. Not to turn conspiratorial, but to me it sounds like a cope from actually selfish people who look at people who do nice things and think to themselves “they’re only doing it to be popular and feel good about themselves, why else would anyone do anything”





  • my phone is only allowed to send me notifications if it’s:

    • a human attempting to contact me

    • weather

    and only allowed make a sound if

    • i’m watching a YouTube video

    • i’m expecting a call

    then i get into my mum’s car and her phone connected to Bluetooth reads out her spam email through the car speakers- 😐
