While contextually it’s not specifically this, I have a selection I use at work thatmay get the point across.

👌when I really only need to ok or confirm my reading of the thing

🤌well said, great post, stuff like that. Occasionally I get to use it sarcastically when someone bungles up and hits send instead of Backspace.

🎉yay, awesome, any sort of celebratory language, like the ok but with enthusiasm

🧡everyone knows what heart means

🦀this is my little secret. I use it randomly on meaningless posts to sow confusion among my workplace. No one knows what it means, no one understands why I use it, but at the same time no one has been willing to ask me. Sometimes I drop it on a message in a particularly dull part of a teams chat and watch people absent mindedly add crabs to a post because they instinctively click it to show engagement. It’s honestly the little rebellions that make the day move along.

It’s very much this. They aren’t trying to introduce you to this thing that’s been an institution for longer then any of us have been alive. They’re advertising to take up the limited realestate in our conscious minds.

To really capture the full spirit of it, I think the the closest thing would be a YouTuber asking you to join their Patreon. The point of the Be Kind Rewind slogan was that you putting in a little effort now meant that the video store clerk or the next renter wouldn’t have to do it and could instead do their actual job or just watch the movie in convinence. If everyone did it by default, there would be no need for the slogan and the stickers.

YouTube Patreon plugs hit all those marks. It’s a small inconvenience that you do because it means they can do their actual work in producing media and the next guy can watch content without having the inconvenience of paying for it. If everyone did it by default, they wouldn’t need to mention it in every episode. The only real difference is you’re trading your physical effort for your commodified effort.

My dude, you’re on a federated platform. You don’t think you’re going to dodge being lumped in with all the political dissidents and “terrorists” when they run out of trans kids to gas? It’s literally a death risk either way, this way just means you get to watch tv until they get you.

Sold. We just have to switch to a different pill before that two months is up. Literally 1% better is still better.

That’s like insinuating that I refuse to lose weight because I can’t lose 60lbs today. I’m literally saying I will take any movement what so ever if it means movement.

Honestly I’m sold. I’ll have to get everyone I know on board too.

I think you underestimate the term “improvement”. Lossing two fingers instead of three is an improvement. 8inches from the ledge is better than 4inches from the ledge even if either measure isn’t even one whole step. If in never going to see best then I’ll take any better I can get.

That’s cool. The shitty ranch fence around my yard is there to restrict dogs and yet they still shit on my lawn.

I don’t think this guy’s strongly worded yelp review is going to do much better.

Don’t forget Turing your face into a wolf and howling about it.

It’s only tyranny when it’s not them.

Fuck it. Chips on the table, china taking over america would be a net positive at this point. I’ve never bought into the “country bad because ideology different” bullshit we’re fed here in the us. As I can see from here, just about any other large nation assuming control would bring me everything I ask my government for as a default.

Very. Chess has been so over done that it’s basically a solved game. Professional level chess is a game of memorizing board states, it’s as much a battle of wits as karaoke.

Any stuff like item sorters or mob grinders or similar, exploit the game for x type stuff? What’s the item diversity like? One thing that burns me out in Minecraft is sorting everything comfortably.

I can promise that’s an urban legend. There are no reported cases of a human of any size being eaten by a pet Python. There are a few cases of humans being eaten by large Pythons in the wild, but these are also stupidly rare. A well fed bermese python, the largest common pet Python, can get to 15ft but is still not capable of eating anything larger than a newborn.

I did consider this, but I’d rather put that kind of money into getting my own co2 laser lol.

Im right here with you, I’ve recently been replacing all the candy snacks I have with various rustic snacks. I’ll have like, 6 cheese curds and salami slices, 3 dates instead of my peanut butter cups, I 've been really into Japanese style peanuts, peacans just on their own.

When it comes to quick and not unhealthy meals, I found out I can make cheese rice in my rice cooker. Follow the usual rice cooker instructions, just add a cup of shredded cheddar, a tbsp of butter, garlic, salt, pepper, and if you want it extra rich replace 1/3 of the water with milk.

If you’re air frying any veg, I highly suggest mixing your seasoning in a little oil and vinegar, then tossing the veg in it. That half assed vinegarette feels really fancy and if helps get an even coating of seasoning. Balsamic brings sweetness, all the others bring sour. You can even make it in bulk, put it in the fridge, and if keeps basically forever.

If you do ramen a lot, toss some frozen veg mix in with it while it’s boiling, then replace half the packet with a splash of soy sauce, and some garlic. It’s less and somehow so much more.

Recently I’ve gotten into “soy meat” it’s dried, crumbled, tofu that’s a really popular meat substitute in Mexico. Pound of beef equivalent for 97¢ at the local Hispanic grocery. Since it’s dried and functionally flavorless, you can mix you up a slurry of spices and the stuff will sponge it all up. Toss it in a pan and it comes out the exact same texture as ground beef, but you can make it taste like everything from plain beef to Italian sausage, maple cured bacon, even smoked pepperoni. I’ve taken to adding it to chilli, sloppy joes, pasta, not only because it halves the cost of meat, but because it can add such an amazing depth of flavor and it seems to naturally correct acidity.

Hope some of this helps. I personally fell for the idea that eating right had to be miserable for so long and now it’s like, why is this not the standard? This is so fucking good!

I picked up an all metal French press from aldi about 2 years back. I’ve had 4 or 5 french presses in my life and they always end up broken, this badboy would dent the sink if I drop it. It’s got that two layer, hollow form thing that good travel mugs use so the coffee is hot for hours and the outside never gets too warm to handle. My only complaint is it’s bougey minimalist design. I haven’t figured out how to decorate it in a way that won’t wear off during washing.

Python? Fuck yes, that’s a new friend. Even in Australia those aren’t venomous and it’s already down to cuddle.

Oh shit, if it’s anything like the old chisel mod for mc I’m already sold! I got really good at carving headstones for all my dumb deaths.

How does it apply to crafting tools? Also is there anything like Redstone? I deeply love hitting the industrial revolution.
