    Sounds like a pretty good snack to eat in front of the TV.

  • Do you prefer ads or paywalls?
  • spittingimage spittingimage 24h ago 100%

    they can expect less content to be available for free

    Less corporate content. But if big business wants to fuck right off the internet forever, it's okay by me.

    Paywalls, but the content has to be absolutely stellar for me to consider paying for an account.

  • People assume that the secrets of the universe will be revealed to them in an afterlife, but you might just remain your same dumb self and have to spend eternity going to church.
  • spittingimage spittingimage 1d ago 100%

    People assume the universe has secrets. People assume the secrets are worth knowing. People assume the secrets can be understood without an advanced education in cosmology.

    I wouldn't serve instant noodles to guests either, but you have the gourmet version there.

    I have several first cousins I'd like to have removed. But I've always known their kids as my second cousins.

    Vocal people who only see the world through the lens of politics. I get that it's important, but it's not the only important thing.

    There's a kind of 'repeating the mistakes of the past' theme.

  • What was the worst book you’ve ever read?
  • spittingimage spittingimage 5d ago 100%

    Well, I think I figured out by book nine that it was never going to get any better, but by that point there were only three books to go and they weren't exactly difficult reads. Maybe I was hate-reading. "Will you continue failing to meet my expectations L. Ron Hubbard, you miserable cunt? I bet you will."

    And I have a tendency to think that any satire is brilliant and biting and I'm just not worldly enough to get it.

    I read all of Mission Earth. All 12(?) volumes. I couldn't possibly say why - I hated it.

  • What do you hate about commercials?
  • spittingimage spittingimage 6d ago 100%

    I hate the interruption. The fake enthusiasm. The inane narratives - using the right toilet paper will change the weather from stormy to sunny? Fuck off, marketers.

    Metro 2033 by Dmitry Glukhovsky. The book that inspired the game. All the characters are so, so wordy, but I'm enjoying it.

  • What's something you've improved at recently?
  • spittingimage spittingimage 1w ago 100%

    Cooking. I've been trying new recipes lately and realised I have enough experience under my belt to sorta predict the result I'm going to get based on the ingredients and method.

    I'm sharing this because any reduction in unnecessary packaging waste is good for the planet - and because I think laser-etching avocados is funny. 🙂

    I followed a Jaime Oliver recipe for curry, which started with grating onion, ginger and garlic. I liked the curry, but grating an onion is a miserable job. He said that technique unlocked the onion's 'sweetness'. How much difference do you think I'd notice if I used a food processor?

    I noticed that one of the monitors in the loom control room had "SKIN?" written on it in the dust that covered it. It seemed pretty mysterious and I was sure it was a detail that was going to be important, but it never came up as far as I noticed. Any theories as to what it's about?

    I've been on a cosmic horror kick lately, and what I'd really like to read is stories or novels of the awful and unfathomable on a spaceship. Stories where we go to them, poke what shouldn't be poked, scan what shouldn't be scanned, and things proceed from there.

    **Ingredients:** - 1 can chickpeas - 1 can diced tomatoes - 2 tbsp water - 1 cup frozen peas - 180g/6.5oz halloumi cheese - 2 heaped tbsp garam masala powder - 1/2 tsp vegetable stock **Method:** 1. Cube the halloumi and set it aside. 2. Mix all remaining ingredients together in a saucepan and place on the heat. Allow to come to a simmer, stirring frequently. 3. Mix in the halloumi and stir until heated through but not melting. 4. Remove from heat and serve with rice. I learned this recipe from a couple of vegetarian friends who eat it twice a week because it's cheap, easy and packed with protein. There's no need to add salt, the masala powder seasons it nicely.

    I recently watched a Wyloch's Armory clip about using painter's tape as edge-cladding for corrugated cardboard tiles. Has anyone tried this? Does the tape take acrylic paint well? If I let segments of tape overlap at the corners, how thick will it look?
