    I wrote a crash course in having feelings for a friend, and thought it might be useful for a wider audience:

    feels like the most cursed part of the english language is there's so many different dialects with different implicit meanings, but everyone wants to believe they know the One English so ppl get mad at something because it doesn't read right to them in Their English

    Or possibly it's about the amount of washing up generated. Yikes.

    A locked friend points out that to them "proper food" means things they'd happily serve to someone else. That sounds right. The things I've been making recently were perfectly acceptable food but not quite fancy enough for copmany.

    Poking at the edges I think "Proper Food" just means anything I have to think in order to make. I have a bunch of meals that I can pretty much autopilot and I think that's probably the dividing line.

    I'm not sure what defines the Proper Food category but it's defininitely there.

    Me: "Huh. This is the first night in a while when I've cooked a proper meal" Me: "I mean... except for like almost every night for the last week where I made and ate a perfectly respectable meal" Me: "Yes but those weren't Proper Food"

    It's funny when you notice the hidden organisation principles of your mind.

    My life is basically just me endlessly wailing "Why do I have to be the one to explain this to you? I'm so bad at this!" I'm aware that the answer is "Because being bad at it means that I had to understand it the hard way" but it still feels wrong.

    as a child, I was radicalised by libraries into believing that life can be a glorious adventure of joy and learning

    It's also possible I'm being oversensitive to being made fun of (this is definitely true) but the advice to repeat someone's words back to them without using some sort of preamble seems really likely to trigger this.

    I'm reading "the customer service survival kit" and on the one hand it's full of good advice but on the other hand some of these responses would really make me feel like I'm being made fun of. I think there's some sort of sincerity uncanny valley here.

    For example I think bell hooks is reliably pretty good in this space. I've not yet read enough of her work (currently only "All About Love", and "Feminism is for Everyone". I've got "The Will to Change" sitting on my shelves but not got around to it yet)

    What are some feminist texts that you would recommend to men who are resistant to the idea of feminism? (Please note that I am not the target audience for this - I've read a lot of feminism and am not at all resistant to it - and please don't tell me the question is problematic)

    58. I'm also very annoyed with the SGC for their handling of the Orbanians. I'll grant their culture is... Problematic, but they're an advanced human civilisation with an incredible technology base. The future of the galaxy definitely belongs to the Orbanians.

    It's called duck typing rather than goose typing because it doesn't cause problems *on purpose*

    57. Not to mention Fifth. Dear god, fifth. Everything that happens in the replicator war after that point is your fault, Jack.

    56. A persistent source of annoyance for me in SG1 is Jack's bigotry against artifical life forms (this is a pet peeve for me in sci-fi in general). The situation with Reece could have been handled much better, and the way they handled their Altairans duplicates was appalling.

    Prime Explorer: "Pick your favourites and we'll show you similar videos" Prime Explorer: *lists a dozen things all of which Amazon has the data to know that I have never watched and none of which appeal, with no ability to pick outside that list* Me: Thanks?

    Impressive. Amazon's new "Prime Explorer" manages to have even worse usability than their normal recommendations.

    If nothing else, it supports my biases that the cult of positive thinking can get in the sea.
