less gooey

a literal embodiment of

if only all product names were this blunt and to the point

yeah im kind of the opposite. i treat it like im doing lab work and obsessively replicate a recipe with precise measurements and little deviation

then over the years i slowly modify it to my taste or build off the foundation and start going wild. wish i could do the purely intuitive thing.

luckily the internet is a godsend for recipes

yeah pretty sure even the super racist ones

love to hate her

love these names and units of measurement

if summer ever ends i’ll have to make some barley slop and dip rolls in it

love them setting good examples like this

i used to read Tintin as a kid (they had all the books at my library)

really wish this page was real it would have helped so much

they all know they are safe they just want that $

Trump will go after a few token bureaucrats but he ain’t touching the ruling class that’s why they are making this so smooth and easy for him

im busy learning Vicky 3 but i do get that craving to fire up Caveman to Cosmos every now and then

and i love the whole collapse of large empires into smaller states mechanic.

lifelong civ head who gave up on the series by 5. then i fully embraced the paradox map games.

civ 4 had some banger mods though but i was always more into the “historical period” ones. even made some myself (for civ 2) that ended up doing ok on civfanatics.

cool and good scenario: Putin does big government FDR style programs post-war to keep vets productive, people begin to trust the state’s capacity again, Putin dies naturally, United Russia breaks up into it’s constituent parties without a solid successor, Russian Communist Party gains a slim majority and leverages this state power, we get a reborn but significantly more lib Soviet Russia closely aligned to China

Sino-Soviet split finally vindicated

on display as usual

but i get the “game mechanic” option of having AI states take diverging communist paths to create more factions to engage with. but yeah this is not the era of nation states splitting. Sino-Soviet split is far away and at the time the Soviets were THE model to emulate, excluding obviously the marginalized Trotskyiests

fuck the amount of sucking up to Elon that’s going to happen over the next years from the scientific community

nobody wants to have their grant money yanked i totally get it. but he doesn’t care, he’s not reading your articles, he’s coming for you all stop sucking up to him

it’s fine that’ll brush right off

weird how if you set up a plan to do a thing, arrange the materials ahead of time for this thing, and get dedicated motivated people on board looking forward to a better future

the thing just gets accomplished. people feel good when they make a lasting mark on the world

truly baffling, inscrutable alien stuff huh

didn’t even have to have twenty middlemen siphoning away resources and cut-throat competition and risk of starvation and homelessness to motivate people

pope francis excommunicates the U.S. ruling class and all self-proclaimed “tradcaths”.

think the Vatican’s platoon of Swiss Guard can acquire anti-drone defenses in time?

as someone who worked for tips for 5 years, fuck that stiff

just finished eating some peas, onions, carrots and bamboo in white sauce mmm
