As a young person, how can you achieve any sense of stability when it feels like no career path or job is stable? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

This is not a new problem, humans since the beginning of our species have had the same feeling. You'll persevere the way that unprepared and scared homosapiens have since the dawn of our species. Simmer down, you dont need to solve existence.

This family is shocked, SHOCKED i tell you! that they aren't special enough to have rules not apply to them. Side note, this kid looks like FAS to the max. His community has been spared.

Fucking over consumers is the antithesis of pirating corpo property. Anybody unable to see the distinction is a child and a dolt. This guy deserves the consequences of his actions.

In general, long cutscenes at the top are a huge deterrent. I booted up clair obscur again...and like....shit just let me play lol I think im finally in the gameplay of it all but I almost gave up again. Just feels like you wanted to make a movie. Do that. But let me play lol

Wow, im kind of surprised how terrible this is. Usually the posts in here are at least interesting. This is an actively bad advertisement. From any era for any product, this is ugly, poorly communicates and is completely forgettable. they cant all be great and MK usually has great ones so it's kind of fun to see such a huge miss actually lol thanks for sharing!

What's the most impactful cooking lesson you've learned recently? in c/cooking@lemmy.world

I think this is a right of passage type experience/lesson for every young adult living on their own for the first time. It unites us all.

What's the most impactful cooking lesson you've learned recently? (kbin.melroy.org)
 

Pati Jinich really opened my eyes to guacamole's full potential. In the states, a lot of food people have an incredibly rigid idea of what is and is not guac. Pati revealed to me that in Mexico there are no rules with guac. Makes the purists here freaking out look super silly. Guacamole is a mole. And like all moles, there are infinite variations, the only necessary thread being the aguacate.

So what about you? Any food/cooking lessons you'd like to share?

[DISCUSSION] What's your favorite type of dish to make? (kbin.melroy.org)
 

Do you love to assemble a casserole? Is filling dumplings your happy place? Could you knead dough all day? What genre of dish is endlessly enticing to you?

For me, its soups/stews. Nothing i love more than slowly building the layers of flavor in a big ass dutch oven. Stirring my cauldron of delicious nourishing potion grounds me.

Why do you cook? (kbin.melroy.org)
 

Obviously its a necessity to feed ourselves, but im talking deeper here. What inspires you? Who are your muses? What beyond the basic need to eat keeps you excited about food?

I am endlessly inspired by Nigella Lawson and her entire ethos around cooking. "Food is both a pleasure palace and a sanctuary." "Cooking is a balm in troubled times." "Food has the ability to make a real difference, every single day." So many amazing quotes of hers ring around my head when im in the kitchen.

For me, cooking is spiritual, practical, creative and scientific all at once. It gets me on my feet, off my screen, and allows me to nourish myself and those I love. It requires all of my senses and no matter how practiced a recipe is there is always an element of improvisation.

I could go on, but im much more curious....why do you cook?

Cookbooks you're currently really into? (kbin.melroy.org)
 

I'm currently super into Chez Panisse Vegetables by Alice Waters and Mexican Today by Pati Jinich. Vegetables is just so useful, I use it as a reference all the time now. And there are so many great ideas! This is my first Pati book and I have to say her food is phenomenal. Everything I've made has been a 9 or 10/10. And she is just a total delight to top it off.

What about yall? Any books in heavy rotation right now?
