Don’t ask for life advice from strangers on the internet who have no incentive to give you GOOD life advice

I came here to comment Sir Terry Pratchett’s works as well! They’re all really good while also poking fun at fantasy tropes

Why are some gamers happy about a new game in a popular series?

Here are a few great channels from my Youtube subscriptions!

Tasting History with Max Miller hits a perfect cross-section of my interest in cooking and my interest in history. Max goes through a historical recipe each episode and pauses part of the way through to explain the history of the dish.

Minute Food has lots of short (sometimes under a minute!) videos about the science behind cooking.

Chinese Cooking Demystified is a husband-and-wife duo living in China that goes over traditional Chinese recipes, I especially like how in the voice-over they frequently list substitutions for ingredients that may be difficult to find outside of China.

Atomic Shrimp does far more than just cooking, but the cooking videos on his channel always give a neat insight into the everyday meals an older British IT Specialist makes.

Starship Troopers is weird because the book went full on in embracing the military-industrial complex and was kind of shit because of it. The movie made it a parody instead and it worked great!
…then they made a few sequels that yeah were more in line with the original book but in this case is that really a good thing?

Man this place needs a no politics rule or something

I still say “Never give up! Never surrender!” occasionally to this day

Finally a GREAT episode this season! Some of the jokes fell flat and this wasn’t a top 5 episode, but it was still really good!
