Lmao you're out of your mind. There's no big conspiracy of the food industry making cooking look harder than it is. I got really into home cooking from watching all those cooking shows and YouTubers and then trying the recipes out myself. Virtually every cooking content creator out there makes content because they want to share the love of cooking, not scare people away from it. Channels like Binging With Babish, You Suck At Cooking, Alton Brown, J. Kenji Lopez Alt, etc are all fantastic resources for people who want to learn to cook.

You sound like you've already closed your mind to the discussion, but in case you're actually still willing to healthily engage in the discussion here is a really good video about why calling people who utilize AI in their work "hacks and grifters" is a very narrow minded (and often factually incorrect) way of looking at AI utilization.

I love how that article had plenty of other explanations for why a person might wear out their heel counter, but you jumped straight to him having deformed feet lol.

$800/mo is $19,200 over 2 years. So no, you can't survive almost 2 years on $10k.

That might be those people's answer to why they wouldn't adopt, but I'd put a lot of money down that the majority of people who want their own kids feel that way for reasons that are far more nuanced, and far less rooted in hate, than "fuck orphans".

Oh yeah. That one caught me off guard as a child. Did not expect to leave that theater crying. 9/10 movie though.

I used to cook literally every day of the week, but then I started clinical rotations and now I'm working 14-16 hour days 6-7 days a week. I've entirely stopped cooking for myself, even though it was previously my favorite hobby, because there's no fucking way I can fit it into my schedule anymore. Anyone who wants to call me lazy can go fuck themselves, and doubly so for anyone who argues it's my fault for paying exorbitant prices for delivery "because there are alternatives". I don't have the luxury of voting with my wallet and it honestly makes me made whenever I complain about unregulated prices and am told I should just not use the service and instead do X, Y, or Z option that isn't even close to practical for me.

Shrugging off extremist views as "just a political opinion" that should be ignored if you don't like it is like the #1 way to normalize and spread extremist views. You do not, and should not, politely ignore extremist. Doing so is explicitly allowing and inviting more into your community. Tankies can fuck off and I will continue to say so.

He's not getting downvoted for presenting an interesting analysis of the Christian themes in the movie, he's getting downvoted for claiming the use of those themes makes the movie Christian propoganda.

The killings of Native Americans in the US can absolutely be called a genocide. The use of nuclear weapons in Japan was a horrible act of war that killed so many people, but it is by definition not a genocide. Calling it one dilutes the meaning of the word genocide. Using the right words and definitions when talking about tragedies of war is not denial of said atrocities.

She can afford to live in a castle, and she wants to live in a castle. There's no need to say she has to feel guilty because other people can't live in a castle. Unless you're the unluckiest person alive, there's always going to be people who aren't as fortunate than you. In her case it's easy to point a finger because it's a castle, but honestly where's the cutoff? Should she feel guilty if she had instead chosen to live in a less expensive but still large and nice house? What about if she lived in a modest one? She still has a house and those other people still don't. Should she feel guilty because she can afford fine dining while many people can't afford to eat? What if she chose to eat only fast food? There's still other people that can't afford to eat regardless of the quality of food she chooses.

I'm not going to pretend I know anything about how she uses her money outside of what's presented in this meme. She absolutely has the kind of wealth where it would be morally responsible of her to use some of it to help others less fortunate. Maybe she does that already, maybe not. I don't know.

If she doesn't then yeah, maybe there would be a reason for her to feel guilty; but even then I wouldn't say she for sure should. But for the sake of argument let's say she does regularly contribute to charities. Should she still feel guilty about living in a castle? She's already contributing, but she could contribute more if she didn't live in a castle. But that begs the question, how much should she have to contribute? If she still has enough money left over to live in luxury should she feel guilty? I'd argue not.
