Corner bite - a balance of crust and content, a display of delayed gratification
Good bite - because you did so well delaying your gratification
Corner bite - because you hope the richness of The Good Bite will transfer somewhat
Navigating the last corner:
Rotate for a heavily crust>content corner bite - the build up
Deliberately smaller, last of the crust bite - the set up
Last Good Bite - smaller than The Good Bite but, equally, aren’t you clever

Barjory Buffet: The Cruise Detective
Relisten-able because it has the highest joke per minute ratio and tightest comedic writing you’ll ever hear.
One part Beyond Belief, one part Wooden Overcoats, and one part Clue.
It balances nimbly crafted wit with camp absurdism, and the cast all nail the patter delivery. It has such a strong capable tone you know that you’re in safe hands and your time will be well spent.
Am happy to concede that I’m just a dumb dumb, but to say that I was confused by both what to do and how to do it would be a wild understatement.
For the curious, this is from the dropout.tv show SmartyPants where comedians present lectures and it’s amazing
The Song of Achilles - Madeleine Miller
Might be controversial, I apologise, but in it’s soul and bones it is the straightest “gay” book I’ve ever read. Straight people keep heralding it as a Queer Classic™®© in a way that queer people don’t.
A Little Life - Hanya Yanagihara
At first you give it your good will and chapter by chapter the creeping horror sets in that the emperor has no clothes.
Trash in lit’s clothing
No she didn’t
She’s said she’s voting for Kamala but that this is not the same as an endorsement by Chappell Roan ®™©
But people heard the words “problems on both sides” and deliberately took it completely out of context and have been bullying her about it for weeks
I…I um…
It’s like I “know” all the options (pros and cons and obstacles and things to think about) all at once, any time I have is then spent on the emotional consequences of them. But more time doesn’t usually mean discovering more options.
With my aphantasia it’s not that it’s all quiet in there, unfortunately you still get the carousel of regrets/self criticism etc, but it’s a carousel of emotions with no narrator if that makes sense
A friend asked me the same thing, they have a back and forth of voices, at significant speed, and then they reach a decision. Whereas I just “know” all the pros and cons (to the best of my ability) all at once if that makes sense?
It’s like I just “know” the text. It’s just in there with no intermediary.
For $1 MorePurpleMoreBetter gives you an incredible PDF that creates D&D character sheets in moments. Priceless.
Drawfee consistently churn out a lot of videos and streams each week so I have no issue tipping them
HBomberGuy donating the proceeds from his latest video exposing plagiarism, with +20M views and took months to research and create, to the people who were stolen from earns him a tip too

My “why has the world gone to shit” was the 2007/8 banking crisis when everyone realised that you could pull off any swindle you wanted and no one would stop you. So everyone did/everyone stopped trying to hide it.
So presumably people older than me would point to the start of Trickle Down Economics, and so on
Everyone has their own “None of this works and it’s intentional!” moment
I am that person.
I’m here out of sheer bloody mindedness, it felt like both Lemmy and Mastodon actively resisted me using them at. every. step. from discovery of service to accessing service to finding content
I’m trying but damn
