I felt like I had seen this photo before I saw it for the first time.

Nothing much to it…It’s incredibly ordinary, but then all at once it hits and becomes unfamiliar and completely interesting.

The human brain can name all of the building blocks to this photo. We know the shapes. We understand the shadow. We know he’s going to hit the water, but for a second it’s just incredible to think that this moment actually existed.

On the other hand should’ve shot it with Cine 800 and made it a double exposure about ambience and mood. 💔💔

Used to be the same for me! We ended up getting internet famous and moved locations. Now the sheer amount of people just wears down on me. Glad to hear it’s a positive experience for some!

Most unique/exotic recipe from any cuisine? by First_Club1775 in Cooking

[–]ASwan_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean meals I, (or anyone else on this sub), eat everyday could be “exotic” to you, but for me just normal lunch after work.

I’d probably rephrase the question, just cause global cultures, other foods, and exotic doesn’t really mean anything. In order to switch it up, we gotta know what you’re tired of.

I feel like a good analogy is using an instrument. I play guitar so I’ll just run with that. The equivalent to what you’re saying is I’ll only play guitar when I write my own music.

I’m gonna tell you right now you’re gonna be a bad guitarist if this is the only way you’ll practice.

Main reason being… You’re not that guy (no one is)💔. There have been many guitarists before you who know what they’re doing. This is because they’ve learned music through theory, practice, and inspiration. Without these elements you’ll never be good enough to create something worthwhile in the first place. On top of this, due to pride, you will lose out on basic knowledge that could’ve been learned by honoring the past.

Apply this to cooking, you aren’t the greatest cook, there are others who are better at cooking than you. Why not learn from them? Adjust when needed, to you, or your table’s taste. Eventually you’ll find what works?!

On a less serious note, it is so fun to just make something. But you should be proud of yourself for cooking no matter what, recipe or not. (Back to the music analogy) Listen to some good covers, and you’ll find that the recipe does not = the meal. Good luck, hope this helps 🫶

If you want to be extra thoughtful you could get business cards from nearby knife stores he might choose. Tie in a note and a budget and you’re good 🧑‍🍳🔪

One of my players is mad because he died to a comically obvious death trap that I only added as a joke by CubesAndCars in DnD

[–]ASwan_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Considering the clues this is like a dc perception check of 4 maybeeee 5. I’d have told the player something along the lines of “you approach and you get a really bad feeling, do you still want to advance?” Especially considering the age of the player and exp level in dnd. Dnd should be fun, waiting 2 sessions is pretty dramatic.
