Hey fair enough. I use whites so I tend to use the same kind of term in the other direction, too. I don’t mean anything insulting by it

Not a bad way of comparing it tbh

I have trained myself to enjoy a wide range of foods. Only thing I can’t get behind is mango

I’ve had good friends who were Europeans studying here, and they can definitely be very insensitive and racist. What makes the two flavors of racism different to me is American racism is typically very confrontational, tribalistic. White man calling a black man a slur, and there’s something cavalier about it, maybe even humorous on the part of the racist.

Europeans have a much more “it is the way it is” attitude. I’ve heard friends talk very disparagingly about interracial couples, or blacks in general, and the attitude is less “hate for hate’s sake” but instead “it is the wrong way to be and my way is correct”. Fascinatingly, when you point out the bigotry, my friends have typically refused to accept their bias (at best), and will deny they’re racist.

I’ve long considered “Guest House” by Daughters to be a good representation of some kind of deliriant like meth.

Slow down. A lot. Slow down a painfully annoying and boring amount and rep the hard chord changes, the weird melodies, any of it. All of good technique is just good muscle memory and muscle memory is only built up through repetition.

Remember that every bad habit that you don’t nip in the bud early can have after effects to your technique for years.

So you’re still ensnared by the useless red circle? Thank you, I’ll update my AI content slop machine

I don’t like you

How do people manage to BITE a fork and drag it out? How do they not immediately blow their brains out afterwards?

That’s Chevy Chase, starring in National Lampoons: Christmas Vacation. It’s older but it’s one of the most famous Christmas movies ever. It’s a great comedy

Scrub it clean with soap, then put the pan on a burner to heat dry it. At the end, rub a very thin layer of fat on it. I use clarified butter. It’s a cumulative process, you won’t see all the benefits of nonstick all at once.

My infosec skills are far too sophisticated for infiltration (small piece of black tape)
