tasty food is good for your general well-being and making it so is not only a skill all adults should have in my opinion (you are strong, independent adults, learn life skills that make you depend less on everyone else), but it can also be fun.
My grandad could cook, sew, knit, woodwork, and a whole host of other things, a lot of which I am quite aware I cannot do nor do some of them as well. However he was part of the RAF in WW2 so being actually competent and skilled adults was a far more common thing back then 👀
As much as I would love to feed you all, that's obviously impossible
Unless... 🤔 I'm sure we can do something with the time machine.
but I work a full time jerb that's not ASMR whisper cooking on Tiktok in a peasant dress.
Aw... Rip Bulba's ethot phase. It would have to be completely in Hungarian with no translation or subtitles, though. People should work for their dinner!
some inauthentic shit that will get you cancelled
Now I'm definitely interested 😅
Also as per my post when originally suggesting this, u/DomitiusOfMassilia please pin this.
Depends on the game, depends on the players. Many games on Steam have a very wide range of mods ranging from entirely non invasive music in the background to character voice packs to entire gameplay total conversions.
For "normal" Stellaris there are things like Leviathans Events Xtended, More Events Mod, Zenith of the Fallen Empire, New Ship Components, Ancient Cache of Technologies, and many more that offer different kinds of challenges be they edits to existing ones, novel additions, or simply more ways to build ships and have things to fight. Then there are total conversion mods like Star Trek New Civilisations that lets you play Stellaris but as Star Trek. There are several Trek mods like this. There are also Star Wars total conversion mods, as well as ones for Mass Effect and a few other franchises.
X-Com 2 is similar to this. The Hive adds in new chrysalid mobs to deal with while Long War 2 flat out changes how the game works with its total conversion and novel class designs.
15-20 years ago
Having recently done a Firefly rewatch and going through Stargate Atlantis it is quite jarring to see Jewel like this but as you point out it's been almost 2 whole decades since then.
This is part of the "problem" with watching and rewatching shows that aren't quite yet old but enough time has passed for the actors to have visibly changed. Hell, RDA was already 50+ years old when he started the first season of SG-1 and was probably playing a character a good 10+ years younger if not 20.
Its that perfect circular logic that bad story writers use. We know Scar will be evil, so him getting shit on is a good thing the audience will cheer for because he is evil, even if that shitting on is what makes him evil in the first place.
Star Trek has done this. Probably a few times.
Kai Winn in DS9 is a miserable busybody cat lady because she's never actually had any spiritual experiences with the wormhole aliens the Bajorans call The Prophets.
These are known deities that multiple characters meet and interact with, who for centuries would basically send Bajor voicemail in the form of the Orbs. Using one of these would have different effects depending on precisely which one it was, but it included time travel, vision quests, and a whole slew of other things due to the non corporeal and non linear existence of the Prophets who could both perceive and manipulate the galaxy in ways beyond understanding. They even flat out delete an entire Dominion fleet at one point. They really are God-like in what they can do, however extremely detached from reality because they neither exist in it or experience it the same way any of the cast do.
Which leads to Kai Winn being the person she is, and taking the actions she does. She hooks up with the evil versions of the Prophets, the Pah-Wraith, because the Prophets never spoke to her. But the Prophets never speak to her because they know she eventually hooks up with the Pah-Wraith... 🙄
She's entirely a villain of their own making and everything she does which almost leads to the destruction of the Prophets, Bajor, DS9, and the galaxy could have been avoided if the Prophets understood their own lack of awareness of time and linear existence.
It's a slightly different twist on someone using time travel and going back to meet someone they know to be bad only to be the catalyst that makes said person bad in the first place, but it's still the same general principle of using foreknowledge to create a predestination paradox.
Hope can set people up for a fall. As normie as the example is, Hawkeye telling Black Widow "don't give me hope" in Endgame after losing his entire family 5 years prior highlights the awareness of how damaging hope can be if it doesn't lead to what someone wants.
The effect can be so damaging it's been intentionally used to psychologically break people both in fiction and real life.

Word for word the same post made by the site wide spammer that has been plaguing this board and many others.
Did you forget which alt you were posting from?

Heineken used to do this and it was amazing.

And yes that is Jimmy Saville in the third one.
Here's a comment about season 2 I made 4 years ago.

There are other reviews of season 2 in that thread but it's very spoiler heavy so be warned.
Ronon and Sheppard
Momoa is very generous to those who helped him get his break. Game of Throne may be his most recognised role, at least for normies, but Stargate Atlantis put him on the map for a lot of geeks and to this day he's still very close with Joe Flanigan.
Reminds me of that HIMYM episode where Ted gets caricatured of sorts in a movie written by the ex husband of a woman Ted almost marries but instead she leaves Ted at the altar and runs off with her ex husband.
In the movie there's a character blatantly based on Ted and named in such a way it would be like having a character called Ronald Grump written by pure distilled TDS. At one point in the film it flat out uses Teds full and real name dropping any and all pretense that could have been argued up until that point.
Black Twitter is very likely just the same situation as Scottish Twitter or whatever the Reddit sub was. Namely Americans pretending, exceedingly poorly, to be the group in question and being so cringe inducing any actual "True Scotsman" or whatever group just left and let them larp because it wasn't ever going to change or stop.
As a Scot I can tell you we are all cunts, but there are good cunts and bad cunts. Good cunts don't care if you use the word cunt. Bad cunts aren't worth giving a shit about what they think if you use the word cunt.
I learned it meant that thing over there as a kid
Ok I'm going to need that one explained how it worked. Or was it just "that cunt over there"? 🤔
and didn't know the other meaning
Tbf it's just another word for for something that already has a lot of words that can be used for it, and I'll bet you there are alternatives that would be considered both better and worse at the same time were you to ask someone. If you do find yourself in that conversation somehow, ask the other person their opinion on the term "gash".
Season 1 was OK, everything after was modern day shit and subverting expectations. Some of the writing being so bad some characters just kept going through the same plot line every season, like MM constantly dealing with racism because he's the black guy on the team.
Just paprika or any other kinds? Because I've fallen in love with smoked paprika on a lot of things.
