Very little of your life is actually in your control

I would say there are limits to what one can easily achieve from their starting point in life, but your statement is so fatalistic that anyone who believes it might aswell stop trying and just give up on life.

Imagine that you're starting now.

The universe was created as-is, ex nihilo, 5 minutes ago.

What can you do to make your life better?

Not a lot. Some things, but not a lot.

I believe you have to think a little more long term before submitting to the idea that “I can’t change anything”.

Can I change things in the next 1 hour? If you’re broke now, probably yes you will still be broke after 1 hour.

But that’s not how life works. We go to schools and develop ourselves in other ways, to have a better life 10 or 20 years later.

I accept this as true for billions of people. How can those in destitute poverty do anything but survive?

But, say, upper-middle class westerners? Add in the most positive family dynamics and you seem to have an immense amount of free agency.

Curious if you agree or not :)

Everybody thinks they’re chaotic good. Except the lawful good - they are absolutely lawful evil.

I think it got more dangerous? Phlox was able to help the first guy.

Reminds me of the mother and son from Color Out Of Space.

Guy Fleegman, played by the esteemed Sam Rockwell, says “oh that’s not right” and looks on in a mixture of excitement and disgust. Exgustment.

“I teleported home one night, With Ron and Sid and Meg. Ron stole Meggie’s heart away, And I got Sidney’s leg.” - The Teleportation Blues

I was about to comment this, but saw yours. The funny thing is I could’ve sworn it was Sue/Susie, not Sid/Sidney. So it’s either a memory error or the version of HHGttG I read was slightly different.

Either way, if you have to take me apart to get me there then I don’t want to go

You knew what you were doing.

Bearlydave , 7 months ago to lemmyshitpost in They're perfectly good brownies, Karen. What is your problem?

It’s a bit nutty… Goes well with this"coffee"

What is the purpose of that thing on the right? To cook corn? Why does it have grooves?

IzzyScissor , 7 months ago (edited 7 months ago)

Cornbread.

ETA: I own this pan. It is made by Wagner Ware, and you can find these on eBay labelled as ‘cornbread pans’ for like… 20 bucks.

bigFab , 7 months ago

Turdbread

Franzia , 7 months ago (edited 7 months ago)

Yes it gives corn blackness from searing or something. Comment that replied to me is right, its for corn bread.

AFKBRBChocolate , 7 months ago

No, I don’t think so (it’s not like the kernels would fit into the ones in the pan). I believe it’s to make corn bread.

affiliate , 7 months ago

it’s for cooking turd brownies

violetraven , 7 months ago to lemmyshitpost in They're perfectly good brownies, Karen. What is your problem?

Why is there corn in these brownies

MacNCheezus OP , 7 months ago

ieightpi , 7 months ago to lemmyshitpost in They're perfectly good brownies, Karen. What is your problem?

I’m still unconvinced that it isn’t shit
