WTF why would you need cream of tartar when you're not beating egg whites?  This makes no sense.

(also snickerdoodles just taste bland to me, the most pointless cookie)

No, see, I said doors.  You can right on a door.  You can write on multiple single doors.  But only assholes write on doors.  For further clarification, please watch the RHPS.

This.  This shit right here. 




However, I still can't stand nerinamakani.

there's definitely some truth to that

there's one lady in my office who is ALWAYS smiling, ALWAYS helpful, and in turn, ALWAYS having a good day. It's infectious!

There's definitely a law of fives kind of filter in place there, which works like this --


If we go back to our discussions about Shrapnel, the idea is that we are constantly being bombarded by shrapnel, and some of it will become a part of us. And meanwhile, we are constantly blasting out shrapnel with everything we do.

So if I believe in Karma in any sense, it is that you tend to identify / experience / not filter out the kind of shrapnel you send out. If you go around bitter and sour, you will find more bitter and sour shrapnel stuck to you. If you go around being awesome, you will encounter more awesome stuff. I think it's the best argument for optimism.

This.  There's been a couple studies lately that show that attitudes and moods really are infectious--humans being social creatures, they pick up others' moods subconsciously, and react subconsciously.  (Side note--I wonder if it's related to how people can't think about an emotion without making the facial expression associated with that emotion)  To put it simplistically, you teach people how to treat you.  If you're constantly negative, other people will associate you with negativity, and subconsciously treat you negatively, which makes you even more negative.

I do think a lot of what's being called karma (in this thread even) is just the westernized trope of god punishing the wicked, with god replaced by karma.  I don't think karma has much to do with punishment at all, unless it's generalized punishment of the entire human race.

THE BEST FUCKING POTATOES EVER MADE GOD BLESS THE GERMANS

3 potatoes
2 onions, chopped
bacon (idk how much)
1 pkg sauerkraut
1/2 cup or so dry white wine
sugar
pepper

Cut your bacon into little bits, fry them til they're crispy and delicious.  Set aside.  Fry your onions in the bacon grease.  Drain your sauerkraut, cook in wine for like ten minutes or something.  Add a little sugar, a little pepper.  Peel and chop potatoes into 1 inch or so chunks, boil them til they're mashable, mash.  Add everything else.  Try to pretend that this dish doesn't far outstrip everything else you made for dinner.  Shamelessly go for seconds cause fuck it this is awesome.

I just made this again tonight.  *Homer food coma gargle*

Naw, you don't need a scale, just a 3-4 point system.

0 - inaudible
1 - barely audible
2 - audible, but can be drowned out by other noise
3 - drowns out other noise

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU  I should have stayed in front of the oven and MADE SURE that when I turned it down to 200 it actually went to 200.  Just checked and the thermometer was at 350, and the top of the cake was very very brown.  I HATE MY STOVE.  FUCK ELECTRIC.

Cheesecake, apparently.  Even though I'm supposed to cook it for 10 minutes at 550 (its max range) but my thermometer proves that my oven is always 50 degrees below what it says it is...I guess we'll see how it goes.
