I’m working on it.

Today will be the brutal past in the future.


Not necessarily. They are also times of cultural decline. Late roman live was more comfortable than some time in the middle ages.


People arbitrarily point at periods in the past to say they were worse or better. Some people idealize the Middle Ages over Rome. A Ren Faire is a hodgepodge of Medieval/Renaissance larping. But the past as a sum total is usually worse, hence the concept of progress. While the beginning of someone’s life is usually best and the end is worse. Historically speaking it’s complicated.


She was clearly enabling him and playing him, that’s predatory. A similar thing happened between Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love. The friendship between Heath Ledger and Mary-Kate Olsen was very suspicious too.


Any further misogynist finger pointing?


That's a morbid and sexist thing to say.


'Ditto' ("you-the-sexist") is hardly a counter-argument.


No, it’s sexist to read about men being abused by manipulative women and assume misogyny. It stinks of a bias that favors women so intensely that it treats dead men as simply some kind of social breakage. That’s sad.


Sounds like a skill issue


Like forcing ESG wasn’t creepy enough. Social media is already too much herd mentality.


You don’t have to hit a chicken hard to cook it you just shoot it at a wall.


That would be difficult to serve. Maybe shoot it into something like a bucket with a rim that’s curved inward, to direct the meals momentum back into the bucket.

And, since the volume is more confined, it should have the benefit of slightly reducing the required kinetic cooking energy.


So, shoot it at the plate instead.


I don't know what plates you're using but I'm pretty mine would shatter upon chicken impact.


Ok, now I feel silly. Cooking the serving individually makes so much more sense. The lower forces will significantly reduce all required material thicknesses, especially in the serving area blast shield!


I think it would negatively affect the visual appearance and texture of said chicken.


Purely a matter of personal taste. Chicken pate on toast is popular in many regions.


Ladies and gents, please help yourself to breakfast. Bread is by the toaster, butter and jam is on the table. The chicken pâte will be on the large wall once the chef finishes loading up the howitzer.


Indeed. It would turn into McNuggets :-/


But McNuggets are delicious. And the only non-self-made nuggets worth eating...


I miss the old late 1980’s/early 1990’s choose your own adventure phone games. They had an early 1940’s radio show vibe to them with sound effects and voice actors. The felt like old laser disk arcade games too. No one seems to remember them and I can’t find them online.


The most famous one in the UK was called FIST (Fantasy Ihteractive ?Stories? by Telephone or something) written by Steve Jackson (of Fighting Fantasy fame, not the American Steve Jackson)... premium rate telephone number got me into trouble more times than I can remember as a kid


I played them in and around the California Bay Area but I guess similar games were set up all over the US. They were free too. Every time I watch the movie Treasure Planet (2002) the narrator for the holographic bedtime story reminds me of the phone games.


Reminds me of old school 2000’s internet tv.


Yeah but I’ve never been more busy and productive.


Learning and exploring has been my whole life and it’s not without its costs.
