If anyone cares, one serving:
- 1.5cups frozen corn
- half onion, diced
- minced garlic (I did about a tbsp because I like more)
- 1 calabrian chili chopped (omit or sub for preference)
- about 2 cups of water
- bullion cube or tsp bullion paste
- half tbsp and flour (more for thicker soup)

*wearily tapping the sign*
The more people post about posts the less convinced I am that anyone is getting successfully primaried

I feel like a lot of posters who made fun of people who were overly influenced by "attractive person making eye contact with the camera" should do a little self reflection

I don't think this totally correct. I so think it's right that infatuation, desire, and other in the moment feelings don't mean much for a successful relationship. My wife (who I've been with for 10 years) and I were nudged together and had only met once before I asked her out /1
one of the most important pieces of advice i give to people is you have to be friends with someone before you enter into a romantic relationship with them. otherwise you're just trying to build a house on a nonexistent foundation
Another way of putting this is “date someone who likes you, not who is looking for someone to fill a role they’ve already carved out”

This is gross and it reflects something that all the manosphere guys were trying to prop back up in the general culture: "high-value" men getting to cut norms
This level of apologia (from Megan McArdle in a podcast with Josh Barro and Ross Douthat) is fucking appalling. Idk what else there is to say.

One thing I think we need to reckon with more is how to handle class-culture around status. A ton of the angst around this is driven by a chunk of the population ascribing status but not wealth to a certain kind of lifestyle
I'm poor*, I have to buy store brand** in bulk to save money.***
* Comfortably above median household income
** Kirkland
*** Increase my spending/savings in other areas of my household budget

You know this is a goddamn rich country when ppl treat "I can't go on regular vacations, I buy discount clothes from resellers, and I use store brands" as equivalent to "WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT OUR CHAINS!"
Frankly, more highly well-off ppl should be thrifty like that for many (not all) things.

Something that I think we need to promote is partial prep/pre-made. Having a major component you can just whip out decreases effort by an order of magnitude. Can get way more variety than meal prepping 200 burritos
I unironically blame foodie culture. every time I see these threads, I get the sense that young professional/creative types think "cooking for yourself" means fully scratch cooking a different restaurant quality meal every night, which is never how it's worked.

This is something my wife deals with frequently, and it tends not to be a deeply held or articulate belief. More just a "I was told this wasn't strictly necessary and I'd rather not". Talking to people about what the shot is/does can do alot to improve uptake
For more than 60 years, newborns in the US have routinely received vitamin K injections to prevent potentially life-threatening bleeding. These aren't vaccines, but they are getting swept up in anti-vaccine sentiment, doctors told me, and more parents are rejecting them.

Beyond the "this doesn't exist", there are so many practical problems with this you can call it vaporware now.

Hit the breaks going down on a hill on ice. Car did not stop and we were slowly sliding towards a sheer cliff.
What’s the worst *short-lived* scare you’ve ever had? Where you were genuinely freaking out but then it was all ok within minutes?
I had a literal moth get trapped inside my ear for about 40 seconds. I was screaming. Then it was out.

*taps sign* the majority of violent protest in US history was on behalf of maintaining and expanding racial hierarchy. Ignoring this history is a choice that has meaning

I think this boils down to "up until recently openly antisocial behavior of a certain type wasn't liked, but it didn't give you a duty to act"
Honestly, you probably do see it in media the most: a lot of criticism of "he's secretly bad" or "look how blatantly ans unrealistically he's protected" tropes are coming from people who lived in a world where you didn't need to provide a justification for a creep being around

The only thing I'll say re: cooking is that most people mess up one of two things: 1. Cooking with ingredients they have and 2. Not setting aside the right amount of time. On 2. , there are a lot of cheap fast and slow meals and it does take time to get comfy doing both

And this point about leverage is central. I think one aspect that a lot of knowledge workers and people who make their money with their minds miss is this though: you have to be laser-focused on where your creative work can build you leverage

Seeing more of this today and I really think "apostolic" is a pretty good word for it. I'm planning on starting taking time diving into using these tools tomorrow but man I wish we had better language around them
To expand upon a comment I made: I do think a significant communication problem wrt this tech is the seeming cultural preference for apostolic language. It's pretty stark in an industry that moved pretty heavily towards plain-language and does impact accessibility
I think the Anthropic people are a little too credulous about, well, the anthropic potential of LLMs but the way they are building AI seems to make this stuff pretty relevant.

Putting aside that I think a lot of this is either down to real anxiety or people obfuscation their real income, I do think we've done everyone a disservice in underrating cooking as domestic labor
