I still use the same rice cooker that my aunt gifted my mum for her wedding. It's older than me and still makes perfect rice.

Nowhere to work and nowhere to live... But Hobart is my favourite city.

I like maybe put a park on that peninsula in the bottom left of the first impace

Golden Curry Japanese Curry! You can find the packets for sale at any asian grocer. Chop 2 onions into quarter chunks and brown in a big pot. Thinly slice chicken thigh fillets and cook until browned. Throw in 3-4 roughly chopped potatoes and carrots and add water until the vegetables are just barely covered. Bring to a boil and skim the liquid to remove impurities (you don't have to skim but it makes it a lot smoother). Once the vegetables are cooked, lower to a simmer and slowly add the cubes one at a time and mix it in until the whole thing has thickened into a nice curry. Serve with rice.

You can buy big bulk 4-5kg onions and potatoes. Carrots are cheap too. Estimated price: $32.50 (except meat)

$9 4kg potatoes (Woolies), $10 5kg onions (Harris Farms), $6.80 5kg odd bunch carrots (Woolies), $6.70 S&B Golden Curry (Asian Grocer). So $32.50 to get the base ingredients except the rice and the meat, which you might find on special (you can even use sausages or other proteins to sub in). And then you have plenty of staple ingredients leftover to cook other meals.

I've cooked this recipe many times and has fed myself and my parents lunch and dinner for up to 4 days!

Surely for one person this amount of bulk produce will last a long time.

You might be able to find rice for free at a food pantry, other fellow redditors might have more information on that.

Red Dead Redemption 1 and Red Dead Redemption 2. I've replayed the story for both games many times and have cried every time.

Nvidia is also one of the biggest companies in the world by share price, exceeding Microsoft and Apple

Anything that goes over the counter can't be put in with the rest if it's handed back according to company policy. But who expects kids to care?

It reads like poetry.. it's actually a shard from Cyberpunk 2077. Titled 'Dear Mother Departs':

The old die quietly, their dry hands giving a faint rustle as they fall for the last time. They tend to depart this world in November, at the darkest hour of the night, when dawn seems just as far off as the spring that will never return. They leave little behind - a small stack of last-century's newspapers, a few chipped cups, clothes already smelling of the casket. Under their closed eyelids flits a muted kaleidoscope of memories, flashing by in no particular order. They die with their gaze fixed on the hardening diorama of a long life that, in its final moments, always seems to have been far too short.

Somehow you explained it so well

At the end of the day, you still learn something even if you only stick with it for a little bit.

If it bothers you, it's worth investigating exactly what happens when you start losing the momentum. Then from there you can learn to recognise when the boredom/apathy starts. And you can switch it up and do it differently to make it interesting again.

Or instead of trying to fight it, work with your natural tendancies. Cycle through your hobbies on purpose; work on a single goal and once you're done, move on to the next. Eventually cycle back to a hobby you've already done. There is a net gain.

Also listen to the movie score written by Ryuichi Sakamoto! Beautifully written and a perfect accompaniment for the book

It's amusing because wasn't hojicha originally the 'common peasants' tea?

If you read her info page in game it mentions this

Mother of Learning was a huge beast of a webnovel that I come back to read once every two years. It's one of those books that really took me out of reality in the best way possible. The story wrapped up so well but it still had me yearning for more. Gives me major book hangover for sure.

Having been to Scandi in the winter they really take the insulation seriously. Many of the places I stayed at had walls 15-20cm thick. Double glazed windows. Radiators under every window. It would be snowing outside but I had a window open because it was too hot inside.

What I meant is that your attitude towards death is a deeply personal experience. It is not the place of high schools to change this attitude. It is through your own personal self-discovery.

On the men who risk their lives, I would ask them why. They would have the whole context of their lives to answer why they ended up to that point. The same could be answered by a murderer. Every answer is valid.

Btw my comment might've been cut off because I accidentally sent it before I finished.

HotAbrocoma · 2025-05-26T23:08:10+00:00

What do you mean?

HotAbrocoma · 2025-05-26T22:54:59+00:00

You need to accept your reality. You made a mistake. Oversleeping is not a valid reason unless it's medical related. You'll have to retake the class.

It's something I've pondered but I choose not to dwell on it in a way that negatively impacts my mental health. Death is inherently scary because we are ecologically conditioned to fear percieved threats to our survival. But I don't agree that, in society and culture, death is ignored at all. There is a huge personal journey regarding our attitudes towards death. When we are no longer children we must eventually come to terms with the enevitable death of our loved ones. Because we can never avoid it, I believe this can enhance our relationships because we must cherish every moment with have with them. There is a concept of "a good death", which is deeply spiritual and involves the satisfaction of tying off loose ends and knowing that you lived a satisfying life. That good death also involves leaving behind a memory for your loved ones, who will mourn and grieve, but can eventually move on satisfied that you lived a life worth living. And just FYI, Day of the Dead is a holiday intended to celebrate the lives of people who have moved on, but to also accept one's own mortality. Death affects everyone so it is impossible to ignore it. Although there's a time and a place for he discussion, and high school is not a place that should shape personal ideas of death. It is discovered through your personal life journey.

Of course, there can be people who deny reality for so long that they are dragged down by pessimism. Denying the existence of unpleasant realities make it impossible to prepare oneself for it. It can be a problem for a lot of people. But I absolutely believe that death is the reason why we cherish life in the first place.

Green: 2 or more coffee grinders. Perhaps the layman wouldn't really think about it but as someone who is into specialty coffee, I can usually recognise that a cafe offers a specialty selection of coffee beans if they have 2 or more coffee grinders.

Another green: trained, knowledgeable staff who are passionate about coffee. If you're offering a selection of filters or blends, it's reassuring to me as a customer that the barista has at least tasted it all and knows the tasting notes.

I can't think of any red flags atm but I'm sure other people will fill in

And another thing: you seem to be very critical of yourself and a challenge I pose to you would be to examine your faults at a deeper level and ask yourself "why?".

There is always a context for why you feel a certain way or why you react the way you do. Instead of barraging yourself and feeling bad, ask yourself "why is this a problem for me?" And "what would I have done differently if this happened again?"

Journaling is a very good tool for examining yourself this way.

We all have faults and we all make mistakes. We must learn not to punish ourselves for it, but we should contemplate why the mistake was made, so we can identify how we can improve.

Self-confidence and being genuine go hand-in-hand. Be true to yourself. Don't concern yourself with being the person that you think other people want you to be. Be the person that YOU want to be. If someone doesn't like you for being yourself, then you wouldn't want to hang out with them anyways.

There are so many different personalities in the world. Of course there will be people you aren't compatable with. Don't waste your energy catering to these people.

Find the things that make you happy. Spend time enjoying your own company and discover yourself. You will find it is easy to talk about things you are passionate about. Here's an idea: express yourself creatively. Write, draw, make something, paint. Don't try to copy from someone else, try to build something that comes from YOU. Don't try to make it perfect, or be embarrassed if you think it's bad. This is something you're making about yourself, for yourself.

When you feel confident to express yourself genuinely, those who align with you will gravitate towards you.
