🔥 cooking related but opinions about jarlic? 🤔

inferior, cannot think of a single use case for it. powder? good for fry batters. fresh? nearly always the best option for everything else. paste? so long as there's nothing extra added to it for flavour it's useful if you're lazy and don't want to bust out a food processor (also depends on the brand frankly, there's some pretty wretched pastes out there and even then it's always better to just mush up fresh stuff anyway)

this stuff, though?

this is a placebo with zero flavour. this is homeopathic garlic. i've yet to be convinced there is even garlic in here.

18.10 worst anime you have watched

*cracks knuckles* this is in no particular order

1. 7 Seeds - watched the first 4 episodes brain started hurting is was so bad

2. Abunai Sisters: Koko & Mika - I don’t really need to explain myself here

3. Kuroshitsuji Season 2 - I hate you, bad, stupid, even my 12 year old rot brain hated this, the season introduces new characters and completely steers off from the manga which would’ve been fine if it wasn’t stoopid 

4. Himouto! Umaru-chan - annoying I had an awful time

5. Vampire Knight - not even so bad that it’s good just bad bad, pretty bland characters plus at the end reveals like the entire thing was incest so that wasn’t fun

6. Berserk 2016 + 2017 - ..........sigh....

7. Sword Art Online

8. Kakegurui - every episode I asked myself what’s the point of everything

9. Aldnoah.Zero

10. Darling in the Franxx

one thing i found interesting about arkham!jason is that whenever his mask comes off in audio files and in game, hes just an absolute emotional hurricane and like loses any sense of composure that he had with it on. when he takes it off infront of babs he sounds on the verge of tears then swinging wildly into fury. arkham!jason had it far worse yes, but do you think any of that could translate over to the comics?

For sure. 

Especially during Under the Red Hood when Jason is so emotional during that confrontation with Bruce. I don’t think Jason really bothers to hide his emotions, he’s not ashamed of them and they can sometimes make effective weapons. 

You know you fucked up with Jason if he shuts down on you, tbh.

lets-jam replied to your post: lysical: @lanternwisp and I have a 2k jaykyle...

i feel like yall just sit in dark cloaks at some long regal table just cackling, the cackling is how you communicate, there are no words just maniacal laughter

It’s a careful mix of cackling and screaming into the void

i flat out disagree with tom bloom on the philosophical implications of what omniscience would be in a deterministic universe wrt the nature of free will.

i get that this is largely a petty complaint -- my personal opinions on what free will is are irrelevant and the point of this whole thing is NOT to "prove jadis is secretly wrong and not actually omniscient" (word of god she is perfectly omniscient and also they spell it out pretty hard in the story, she's correct end of) because that's just refusing to engage with the writing on its own terms and with the story it's trying to tell, and that the important part is to accept that this is just how determinism works in this narrative so you can meet it where it's at and therefore parse the ACTUAL important thing it's trying to say which is "the universe, which we've just explained works in this terrible way, is painful and scary, and yet you have to choose hope and keep trying anyway until the moment your corpse hits the dust" -- but it does annoy me on a personal level.

not to "guy who's only played vii" this too hard but i also disagree that determinism is necessary to even tell this kind of story, which people also tend to argue, because vii does this exact same moral but from the complete opposite side of things: not only does free will exist in ffvii, it exists to such an extent that there is no such thing as fate and there is no plan and even the stars and planets themselves have fucking no one at the wheel we're all up shit creek together and in the face of this you must find your own small meaning and joy in a universe that ultimately does not care about you and doesn't even know you're there.

like that's just existentialism baby. i don't think it's to the detriment of the work really, but it is something i personally find annoying and that i don't think many people agree with (or the ones that do are also the morons trying to argue "well maybe jadis IS secretly wrong" or "well then this story is pointless if the characters have no free will grrrr" so i am largely alone in that) so imma bitch about it here
