To be fair, whats deserved and whats useful/practical are separate matters.
The french deserve a thousand charlie hebdos.
Either way it doesn't really matter cause the actual purpose of a recipe is communication between people, if I follow a recipe Im trusting the people who wrote and published that recipe and discovering their particular tastes and preferences, why the fuck would I want an AI version of that.
And particularly with novice chefs this shit is so insidious, just treating cooking as a maths problem rather than as something to cherish and enjoy, you should learn cooking by learning the dishes your parents make, your friends, or even just trying to make whatever good stuff youve tasted sometime.
This latest Roderic Day twitter beef must be his most pathetic yet, he seems like he can't decide whether a disagreement is meant to be 15 rounds in Manilla or a friendly discussion over coffee, so he ends up repeatedly accusing someone of lying, distorting the truth, misleading etc, but then switching into birthday boy mode and calling for civility when accused of not reading the other person's points properly.
I mean I like his work in general but sometimes when he has a disagreement with someone basically on the same page as him, it's like pulling teeth having to read through the resulting days long dispute.
Kind of concerning though cause George Galloway is legitimately a transphobe, and his pitch when his new workers party launched was as far as i recall, verbatim, "a workers party not a wokers party", and they've kept publishing anti-trans shit since then, though as the Ukraine war and the genocide in Gaza began they've focused more on that instead for obvious reasons.
What would they focus on next when they can't take popular foreign policy positions.
Seems like the US state have discovered those "Experts react" videos now, cause all of a sudden it feels like 50% of the new ones are some variation of "(US genocidal war) veteran reacts to movies!"
It used to be somewhat niche shit like a sub commander or whatever that you could marginally justify as having something interesting to contribute but now its literally just random military freaks getting put up there.
It should be illegal to name your dogshit fraud brand after random words in the dictionary but no, this shit is what they go after.
Can't have a guy register his website as McDonkalds, end of the world.
That new shogun series looks like dogshit, like just aesthetically it looks completely unappealing to me.
Idk if its just a boomer opinion but historical series should look relatively normal, leave this fantasy shit to fantasy and get some mundaneity over here. Exceptional places, events and people do not stand out if everyone looks as heightened and stylized and if every location looks overdramatic.
I feel like there's this kind of true crime mindset that has infested a lot of popular sort of leftist history, specifically thinking of the JFK assassination and MKULTRA.
Where there is just so much sensationalization and vague conspiracy language involved that you really just cannot learn anything of use from delving into most popular writings of these topics, its like how you can't really learn much of value in regards to either crime or law enforcement through most popular true crime stories, you just learn a ton of hyperspecific trivia and technical language that doesnt really contain any information beyond the scare factor of it.
It's to the point where I almost think you are better off just either literally accepting the official accounts of either of these topics, or just internalizing single sentence summaries like "well yeah the CIA killed JFK obviously." Beyond that you kind of turn into one of those true crime assholes who get smug at you if you don't think Jonbenet Ramseys mother wrote the ransom letter(intended effect of this sentence is to be gibberish.)
I'm not even that sure that the actual clear headed and reliable knowledge I have gained on these topics from reading about them is very useful either, the most valuable parts seem to be just in terms of general mindset and approach when it comes to looking at government conspiracies and potential operations, rather than being able to detect who and when the CIA has dosed someone with LSD. It ends up feeling the same way as just regular true crime feels to me.
Reading Killers of the Flower Moon discussions and something Im surprised I havent seen yet in regards to Mollie and Ernests marriage is that Mollie would have very good reasons to not specifically seek out a white man who is as intelligent and clever as she is.
Like I see a lot of half joking remarks about how smart women marry dumb hogs all the time in real life, but as is the case with traditional marriage dynamics and even moreso for someone like Mollie, would it be in your best interests to have the man whos gonna have an immense amount of economic and direct power over you, be intelligent and clever about how he uses that, or would you feel safer if that guy is kind of a fucking moron who you can try and push in the directions you want while he is bumbling around trying to figure out what to do?
Like even aside from just the mental calculations here, it seems very natural that just the difference in how safe you might feel around dumb men vs smart men, would make you more likely to fall genuinely in love with them? Love isnt just magic, your material situation plays a huge part in it.
