In my case you can remove the “thin veil of professionalism” and put the “my boss” there instead.

But yes.

My cat let’s me into the bed sometimes.

A pie (or tart), or a dirty beans.

Pie made with ready made pie crust. Throw in some bell pepper, ham slices, zucchini, chili, garlic (or basically whatever seems like would taste good together). Mix cream cheese and an egg, pour over the fillings, top with some pizza cheese. Once cooked, sprinkle with some herb that fits the filling or spring onion.

Dirty beans is lightly cooking a bit of onion, chili, garlic, whatever beans (in water) I happen to have, tomato sauce, ton of cumin, some other spices that seem like a good idea, topped with some sour-ish, runny cheese or feta. To make it go from basic to fancy, I use Crème fraîche instead of cheese and fresh cilantro.

Appreciate everyone who actually gave the recipe!!

Me.

I’m the crazy family member.

Donal Finn. I was literally just watching Young Sherlock with a friend and told him I don’t like Moriarty’s dead eyes. Charming actor but I do not like his face.

Thank you ^^

Safety factors into all that, yeah? I think that’s valuable. Even if a coal mine isn’t great, at least they ARE running inspections…

Your current job sounds pretty important to me though! Accessibility is important.

Yep and yep and I’ve been incredibly lucky. I help run a spirituality (Buddhism-ish) related website. I don’t have much formal training, I’ve just been a shut-in nerd for decades and picked up skills that turned out to be useful for the teacher (they tried to make a website that was total shite and I told them as much. Long story short, they hired me).

I’m actually on permanent neetbux due to mental health issues ('twas partly the treatment resistant depression that led me to look into spirituality) but I’m allowed to earn a certain amount without losing my benefits. I get paid that exact amount and I largely choose when I work and how much. From my perspective, I’m now getting paid to do the stuff I used to do as idle fancy. Which is awesome. I’m also mentally in a much better place thanks to my own practice and the community. I definitely couldn’t handle neurotypical life but at least I can do a bit of work, kinda take care of myself and not let my home devolve into a total legbeard nest. Glad to be able to help provide service to others that was helpful to me. Plus despite not having very good people skills, I’m appreciated by my boss and the community and I’m welcome to be as I am, I don’t have to mask or sell “good vibes only”.

I just finally got around to watching Jojo in my starvation for a long running anime. Just about to get to episode 9 after which I hear it starts to really pick up. So far I’ve been mainly a bit confused but I did keep watching Gintama despite it taking like 50 episodes for it to click lol

My understanding is that Haki system hadn’t been developed yet when Shanks did that thing. But that’s what I meant with Oda being good at modular story telling. He consistently gave himself places to expand upon without having to do blatant retconning.

And yes. The pro-social aspects, the inclusivity, resistance to tyranny etc. but I also just adore Luffy as almost like a spiritual guide. He’s totally surrendered to pursuing his goal and is almost always in full acceptance of whatever that may lead to. And he does so with a joyful heart. And he is forgiving. There’s some Buddhist undertones there that I appreciate. I’m also just glad to see a popular show in this point in time that has a lead character like that and handles it well.

Yeah it’s stunning. I’ve watched the early parts a few times and just started watching again from the start with a friend who fell in love with the live action version.

It opens up even more when you have more context, even if Oda “retconned” stuff, he has always been pretty good with it. He’s like the master of modular storytelling. And you have so much absolutely amazing things ahead of you!! Stoked for you!!

Actually I am right at this very moment waiting for my friend to finish dinner so we can watch the first ep of OPLA s2 :D

Yeah, One Piece easily. I feel straight up privileged to have started watching it some 20 years ago and still enjoying it to this day.

Looks great! I never tried making ramen from scratch but I love to pimp up the instant noodles I like with various things.

The marinated eggs are pretty easy to make but yeah, need forethought, which tends to become an issue for me. Really like them though. Rum works well with them.
