“Anything that isn’t nothing”

Helps me push through when executive dysfunction hits. Getting outside for even just a little bit is a whole lot better than staying inside while telling myself I’m going to run 3 miles, for example

Great movie all around but that scene really stuck with me. The world may come to a fiery end, but they’ll be damned if they let that stop them from being good to each other.

I think of it as being (sorta) similar to spraying and wiping down a dirty countertop. The spray alone isn’t going to get it fully clean, but it makes the wipe about a thousand times more effective at finishing the job.

If your goal is just to prevent glare from direct sunlight? Maybe a purely passive diffuser is what you’re looking for

When people are talked down to, they often dig in their heels due to an emotion called psychological reactance. The reactionary ape that still exists in every human feels challenged and that ape will not allow reason to stop it.

If you see such a reaction and allow yourself to believe “well that person was just an immature child”, you risk giving yourself license to keep talking down to people. Repeat ad nauseum.

It doesn’t matter that you’re objectively correct about the effect meat has on the biosphere if you just keep going around that circle, creating 0 new vegans every lap

I think this commenter is trying to say that the nominal size of a 2x2 is 2" by 2" (and it looks like they typo’d nominal to “normal”)

The actual size of a 2x2 is 1.5" by 1.5", and OP incorrectly calls these dimensions nominal

Good on the devs for getting the balance in check ahead of the 1.0 release

If someone’s using the reasoning of drunk drivers to rationalize their behavior, that’s not a great sign.

Holyfuck its self aware guys

I’d guess the garlic was deeply roasted until brown and sweet for the ice cream?

Another great lazy meal is hummus. process together a drained + rinsed can of chickpeas, a couple tablespoons of tahini, the juice of half a lemon, salt + spices, and however much water it takes to get the texture you like. Smear it on a plate, maybe add a puddle of olive oil with some herbs sprinkled over, and wipe it up with pita.

A real cheat code here is when you truly can’t find it in you to cook, have some easy heat and eat meal or something and then plan + prepare tomorrow’s dinner.

Microwave burrito + take chicken out of the freezer for tomorrow

In no particular order, here are some games that came out this year that have really stuck with me:

Hi-Fi Rush

Zelda: TOTK

Mario Wonder

Dungeons of Aether

Remnant 2

And a bonus shoutout to Warhammer 40k Darktide for getting a ground-up rework to the class system. To anyone who wrote this game off previously, it’s worth another shot.
