Thoughts Before Bed

"'Let me help.' A hundred years or so from now, I believe, a famous novelist will write a classic using that theme. He'll recommend those three words even over 'I love you.'"

Trans girls, here’s your reminder that there is a whole market of push up and padded bras and shape wear and everything created for and marketed to cis women. Don’t be embarrassed about wearing the same shit they wear to get the body shape you want and to feel attractive

@ami_angelwings Games should always prioritise gameplay over anything else. If I want to see good graphics or good story, there are plenty of other mediums for that (e.g. animation, novel).

If a game prioritises other things at the expense of gameplay, it is automatically trash, no exception. After all, how am I supposed to enjoy good graphics or story if the game is frustrating or boring me the entire time?

There are three main types of stroopwafels.

Igneous, the most common, are formed by melting a sticky filling and pouring it between two waffles.

Sedimentary stroopwafels are commonly encountered at the bottom of a large container of igneous stroopwafels.

The rarest form is the metamorphic stroopwafel, formed by subjecting igneous and/or sedimentary stroopwafels to extremes of heat and pressure until they fuse together.

Say what you will, but what is really the most optimistic thing about TNG, more so than the poverty-less and money-less utopia, is when somebody goes to the captain and says "this weird, unbelievable thing happened to me" and they believe them.

Reg says he sees a creature in the transporter beam and rather than saying "Reg, you well-known anxiety haver, you're imagining things!", they take the transporter apart, twice, to find out.

Beverly says she hears voices at night and has an overwhelming sense of deja-vu, and the captain doesn't say, "my, what an overactive imagination you have! Sleep more and do yoga!", he instructs the crew to sweep the entire ship with sensors, from top to bottom and starboard to port, until they've figured it out.

THAT is a world I'd like to live in.

"Refusal to believe until proof is given is a rational position; denial of all outside of our own limited experience is absurd."

I take a perverse bit of pleasure and revenge in getting the official Switch NES Controllers to connect to my Linux machine and play Super Mario Bros. 3 on Retroarch.

The Doctor and Martha: "Expelliarmus!"
The Doctor: "Good ol' JK!"
Jenn: "That aged badly."

Good night, New Cyberia! And remember.. keep circulating the tapes! :hackers_town:​​ 🏴‍☠️

Second Cheat Day Meal: Espagueti Verde

From the first moment I saw this I wanted it. Spaghetti. Cream Poblano Sauce. Cilantro topping. What's not to like?

Turns out - the whole thing.

The sauce is simply far too thick for this spaghetti and it's a chewy mess warm and "chewing a block of coagulated sauce and pasta" as it cools. It's not bad tasting. It's just...a texture nightmare. I thought maybe I did it wrong, so I watched the video where I got the recipe from, and no, it's just as thick there, too.

It took me an hour to make, two bites to not like, and I'm glad I had some of the flat bread left over cause that's what I ended up eating.

Not even sharing the recipe, it's that bad. You want it, it's at youtube.com/watch?v=zbtmF5bI6U
