  • I am one of the 10 people on earth who really enjoyed playing Starfield. The space combat seemed like a love letter to the old Wing Commander series, the art design was beautiful, there was a lot of fun content. I think i made it to NG7 before they took it off the free to play. When it’s on sale i can’t wait to grab it.

    by comparison i hated The Outer Worlds which was the first ‘it’s like fallout in space!’ that was promised so i was tickled when Starfield actually was like fallout in space.


  • generally reclamation is framed as positive usage only. I just learned about this recently myself with the word bitch. Calling my girl friends bitches in a nice way, when i’m not angry and mean it to be endearing is reclamation.

    Calling another woman (like jk rowling) a bitch when i don’t like her or her actions is misogynistic even though i’m a woman, because it’s being used to tear down/degrade.

    I think the same logic applies to this, a gay man calling his friends the f slur endearingly is fine, but using it hatefully is no different than a straight person doing it.










  • I actually adore my stainless steel Cuisinart cookware. Been using the same set for 15+ years now with zero issues at all except some light pitting inside my stock pot that i’m sure was my fault. I find i actually do use almost all the pieces in the set, there’s one mega huge fry pan i don’t use much and i don’t use the steamer insert much but otherwise it’s been a daily workhorse and I do recommend it. Treated nicely the non stick egg pans last a few years, too.


  • the venus fly trap contains small hairs inside of the mouth. It requires two hairs being triggered at the same time to ‘chomp’. The chomp action is biologically expensive so the plant can’t afford to do it until a proper sized meal will get digested and it will gain net energy.

    It also precludes smaller animals with strength from just walking out of the mouth.

    The plant did nothing wrong this is just a silly owner!
