referring to the fannie farmer cookbook as "an ancient tome of unspeakable power"

im starting up a new exalted campaign & i need two more players, dm me if youre interested

but theres another thing where people can juggle so many things at once, and showing them another Bad Thing They Must Pay Attention To can cause them to stop being able to juggle everything

@pareinoia hello mr monkey paw i wish that people could debate politics in a civilized and reasonable manner where they just state their real beliefs

this is probably the best motivational text i have ever read

normal people motivational speeches: "alright i know this is going to be tough but if we work together and do our best, well get this done and have time to go out for drinks"

motivational speeches that work on me: "the task is futile and we may never succeed. let us speak of the horrors that we will encounter. today, we spit in the eye of god, may we will survive"

feels like a lot of people dont know how to deal with multiple things being bad at the same time

"how dare you worry about <bad thing> when <worse thing> is happening" is always an option, especially since what counts as worse varies by person

this might actually just be strategic, people trying to shut down conversations about problems that benefit them

had a nightmare last night that eggs were legally mandated to be hard-boiled before being sold

i was desperately trying to find a raw egg that i could use to bake a pie, and furiously explaining to a salesperson that hard-boiled didnt work
