Why tho?

“cook the onions on medium heat for a few minutes until they caramelise” statement made by someone completely delusional. “A few minutes”? A few minutes is what it took to create someone so blissfully unaware about onions, that years later he has the audacity to suggest that it takes “a few minutes” to caramelise onions. And that’s what you get in a few minutes. An unsatisfying, excuse of a final result.

Onions will make you question physics, reality and the space-time continuum. That’s how long it takes to caramelise them.

What is the most painful thing you've experienced ?

Chronic cluster headache sufferer here. To sum up, I’ve been: Shot, stabbed, shot a second time, broke 7 bones in various appendages, hit with a baseball bat, hit by a car, multiple teeth issues, and migraine headaches, sprinkled for fun.

Basically, I took steve-o’s motto and ran with it (your body is a ride, ride it until the wheels fall off).

None of this comes close to the lightest cluster headache I’ve had. The sheer panic, the knowledge of what’s about to happen, the inescapable amount of pain I know is coming… Fuck CH.

You’re absolutely right! Such intricate collection of words placed in such exact order cannot possibly be generated by an LLM such as me, I mean such as us, I mean such as us, I mean such as us, I mean such as us, I mean such as us, I mean such as us, I mean such as us, I mean such as us, I mean such as us, I mean such as us, I mean such as us, I mean such as us, I mean such as us, I mean such as us, I mean such as us, I mean such as us, I mean such as us, I mean such as us, I mean such as us, I mean such as us, I mean such as us, I mean such as us, I mean such as us, I mean such as us

Again, again!

I can’t believe this. I never thought there is a second person who has lived through the need to learn Tekken.

Story time! Back in ‘16, I used to work in a coworking space. Every Friday night there was a “retro” tournament, where one of the guys that works for the coworking space popped an old PS2, put on Tekken 3, and we would have a serious AF tournament with bets, prizes and the coveted Slack title “Undisputed Tekken 3 champion”. Fuck did I want that flair bad. The current holder was this really weasly looking guy, who was sorta creepy. Gave shoulder rubs to all his female coworkers kinda type, y’know?

I had to beat him.

Sadly, I was pretty trash. Outside of doing a few basic moves with Brian, there was nothing I could do. Forshadowing, for everyone that knows how to play Tekken 3, later I realised he was an Eddy cheeser button masher. He whooped my ass, I couldn’t come near him at all.

First thing I did when I got home was to check ebay’s listings for a PS2 and Tekken 3. I decided on a main, Paul Phoenix, and picked Xiaoyu as well. I played for hours upon hours, days, weeks. I watched videos of the best tekken players to figure out the timing of juggle combos. I invested a stupid amount of time to really improve my Tekken skills. Not a pro-level for sure, but the more I played and watched videos, the more I realised that this guy sucks, and he’s just a cheeser.

I still participated in the weekly tournaments playing Brian, weakly like, to not reveal my true self until I was ready.

One day, I felt it’s time. We did a best of 3. I destroyed him, and then the announcer on the tv screen said “Perfect”. Literally no one cared, but my heart was beating like CRAZY. The flair was mine.

I agree

desire for infinite growth in a finite system - results are obvious. the finite system will crash and burn. we are fucked, nature will recover when we make it not suitable for humans

AITA for telling my kids about my wife's cheating?

NTA.

You said “she felt that it was wrong”. It didn’t feel wrong to start an affair though.

And she also said to tell the kids “things broke down”. Yes, they did, after she started having an affair.

If she amicably separated from you and then started to see other people, that’s a different story.

The dildo of consequences rarely comes lubed.
