You ever think about how old people have no idea what “survivor bias” is, and take full credit for being excellent out of things where they lucked out?

“Back in my day we didn’t have any of these childhood protective things, we were smart enough not to do stupid shit on our own!” Except your little neighbour, who got the funniest idea at the age of seven, and got his skull pierced when he slipped?

“Back in my day nobody got divorced, we stuck together and fixed our problems!” What about your cousin, who was slowly killed by her husband because she had nowhere to escape him?

“Back in my day nobody had ‘mental problems’, we didn’t whine, we just toughed it out and endured life!” Hey remember that guy you used to work with, who seemed really friendly and normal, and then suddenly hanged himself ‘for no reason’?

“Back in my day we didn’t have any of this ‘gay’ or ‘transgender’ thing.” You did, but your family cut all ties with her before you were born.

 You kinda start seeing it in everything they think, if you start looking for it.

“When we were kids nobody whined about car seats or bike helmets. We didn’t use them, and we all survived!”

Yeah, except for the ones who didn’t.

unfortunately, due to several experiences in my youth, i cannot just “walk up and join the circle of people talking”, but it does sound lovely thank you

[academia-darling]

“go ahead and mingle” are four of the scariest words in the english language thank you and goodnight

So glad we as a culture got over ironically liking shrek as a meme and went back to liking shrek as a good movie

Heartwarming story: Little girl doesn’t have to do anything to fund her dad’s surgery because his expenses are covered by his country’s universal healthcare.

Human determination: Man bikes 18 miles to work every morning because he wants to and not because he can’t afford a car and would be fired if he’s late.

My friend asked how I learned to cook and the answer is I didn't. I know like 5 things about cooking and they are:

Always use more garlic than the recipe calls for

"Ehhh fuck it close enough" is a great measurement tool

Find like 5 recipes that you like, adjust them how you like them, make them until you hate them

Clean as you go

If a recipe is from a mommy blog, you will need more spices

If anyone wants to add, please do

[datenshi-no-hime]

None of these are wrong.

[novice-whovian]

I reblogged this earlier but I forgot to add. Cooking: use approximate ingredients

Baking: USE EXACT MEASUREMENTS

sometimes I look at a fruit or vegetable and see how optimized it is and I'm just filled with love. ppl have the idea that edible plants are "organic" or have just sprung from the earth in their form but that's not true!! they were selectively bred for thousands of years by generations upon generations of people. that is love. that is faith. when you bite into a fruit you are eating the generations of labor instilled in it to make it just right for you

[tenorgender]

this is how much our ancestors loved us. this is all their struggles and all their hopes. this is how much our ancestors loved being alive

raising my hand in lecture and saying “prev tags” after someone else makes a good point

If you fold a pizza in half, is it a sandwich?

the language is not some inherent truth of life. we made the words as a lens to better understand the world.

[hollowtones]

no one in the comments has listened

[papasmoke]

i think if you folded a pizza in half it wouldn’t be very easy to eat and i would not eat it anyway actually because i am lactose intolerant. but if i did eat it i would unfold it first because the folded pizza would be too tall to fit in my mouth unless i squished. also if i shoot a bullet from the moon and it kills someone in texas do the texas police have jurisdiction or do the moon police?

[hollowtones]

you, though. 

you have listened.
