Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. . . And where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
Eba is the perfect swallow. Smoothness layered over roughness. Consistent. Plenty nooks and crannies so the soup enters it and mixes well. Minimal smell. Mild taste so it doesn't interfere with the taste of the soup. Easy to make. 10/10.
Lmao do you realize how ridiculous it is for the Dothraki and the Unsullied to lose their queen, say โah well thatโs life I guessโ and just bounce?
I spend 2 hours laying in bed wondering if I really want to eat or I should just starve, then I end up heating up rice. What about that makes you think I want to be responsible for another personโs existence? I donโt even want to be responsible for mine.
The reactions to this Adele divorce thing remind me that celebrities arenโt really people to us. Theyโre items to be consumed and discarded when weโve wrung them dry.
Was recommending bojack to a babe and I told her I loved how the show explored intergenerational trauma and how it leads to a life of self-loathing and questionable decisions. She said โand this is a character you relate toโ? I just sabi say I don fuck up.
I like being a part of social circles, but on the fringe. Friendly enough with everyone to partake in shared joy and proffer help but not being entangled with the messiness of their personal lives.
I think the point being made is that sheโs tired of being sexually objectified, and likes that sheโs being seen as a person outside of her sexual desirability. Not that she automatically disrespects anyone who finds her sexually desirable. Seems like a valid concern.
People who say โfalse rape accusations make it harder to prosecute real onesโ seem not to realize what theyโre admitting. What does it say about systemic bias and false equivalence that a fringe false positive occurrence can nullify hundreds of true positive occurrences?
Only thing getting in the way of me and my fitness goals is rice. And bread. And eba. And pasta. And alcohol. And a slowing metabolism. And lack of self-discipline. And....
Arresting women for โindecent dressingโ, labeling them as prostitutes, and sexually assaulting them is gendered. It doesnโt mean other forms of systemic discrimination donโt exist.
Twitter has helped my growth, a lot. Some times from active criticism, other times by watching other people engage. If a large part of our interactions are now online then we shouldn't downplay the importance of the discussions that can be had here.
Not planning to have kids definitely helps ease the pressure of feeling like you have to have things figured out at a certain age. Knowing youโre really only responsible for yourself and if worst comes to worst youโll just die >>>>
I get secondhand embarrassment so bad I pause movies when characters are being ridiculous and I just Google to know how they end. Or I skip by 5 minutes.
Because the use of "God" in conversation is cultural. Do you think people who say "oh my God" while fucking are worshipping God for helping them fornicate?
Comedians get to be hypersensitive about having their art criticized, while accusing everyone else of being hypersensitive for not liking their art. Win win if you ask me.
People who brag about not reading fiction are weird to me. "hey look at me I don't have the imagination required to enjoy a well-told story haha I'm special".
He has lyrics where he promises material reward for intimacy, so it seems his primary contention with transactional sex is women expecting/demanding payment. He also seems to think sexual objectification in the context of sex work equals objectification of women everywhere.
If your objection to sex work is based on religious morality, thatโs valid. The problem is when religious people think their religion is transcendent and should govern the lives of people who donโt ascribe to that religion.
Sex is weaponised against women. Words like "slut" are used as tools of this weaponisation. If it's commonized then it loses it's pejorative value. If everyone is a slut then no one is a slut. I don't think this is hard to understand.
Saying that a dress โleaves little to the imaginationโ is funny to me because why are you going around imagining peopleโs bodies under their clothes? Calm down bros.
Cersei isnโt smart. โSmartestโ thing she did was using wildfire on the great sept to kill her enemies, and even that problem was self-inflicted. But what she lacks in brilliance she makes up for in intensity and cruelty. Passion merchant.
When Nigerians living in Nigeria are discussing prices in naira, converting to foreign currency to downplay the cost is stupid, and shows your ignorance of basic economics. Stop it.
When They See Us being the inspiration for all this talk about false rape accusations is weird because someone was actually raped in it. Itโs about systemic racism.
Do you ever wonder how people with poor eyesight survived in hunter-gatherer societies? Imagine going through life not sure if that thing hurtling towards you is a deer or a lion.
If the average Nigerian woman canโt be scammed of $250,000 itโs because they donโt have access to that kind of money to begin with. Not their exceptional powers of discernment.
If youโre looking to get into a serious relationship with a person you should probably be open about your eccentricities as soon as you can, so theyโll know if they can live with it. Selective honesty is for flings.
Why are people insistent that we have to bring children into this world? What is it about life that makes us think itโs a gift that must be bestowed on the unborn?
Can you imagine the stress that must have gone into setting this up for hours, only to make a cool video thatโs done in one minute? Thatโs how I feel about cooking.
How do you people think jokes like this are funny? At this point theyโre stale and unoriginal and even the shock factor is gone so itโs really just stupidity remaining.
I don't know what logic you people used to arrive at the conclusion that people outside Nigeria shouldn't talk about the suffering in Nigeria. Isn't the fact that they left proof that the suffering in Nigeria chased them away?
