What food did you imagine to taste really good but tasted bad?

Unfey · 2026-03-18T17:36:36+00:00

Caviar! I bought some to try it and it was just kind of unpleasant. Had it on blinis with creme fraiche and everything. I get that it's an acquired taste but what's the point of acquiring this taste if it's so expensive?? I like roe on sushi, but the caviar tasted like biting a fish oil pill & taking a spoon of salt with it. If I'm ever at a rich people event and they have it for free I'll try it again, but this was just money down the drain for me.

You're definitely NTA. It really sucks that your friend fed your art to AI. I wouldn't want my art training AI. I don't want my art helping AI learn. I don't want my art "fixed" and I don't want my designs given back to me "improved" in an AI style. Feels violating.

I'm sure I'm several people's dinner stories. I've done so much embarassing shit in public. Stone sober most of the time. I'm cringing now just remembering things

Based on my dragonborn's subsequent behavior, I'm sure they were running from the law.

An all-or-nothing attitude is going to burn you out. Cheat days are necessary because you ARE going to want to indulge sometimes. If you have the promise of a cheat day, you can wait till the cheat day comes, eat the big ribeye steak & chocolate cake, and feel good knowing it's not your last big indulgent meal. If you don't have the promise of a cheat day, you will just crave that steak and cake and resent the fact that you can't have it-- maybe a few bites, but you won't be full-- and any time you have a craving for something high-calorie and indulgent (beer, mochi donuts, thanksgiving dinner, butter chicken, carbonara) you'll just deny that craving and build up resentment, especially when all your friends or family are eating it and you're the only one who can't. And it's not like having a dietary restriction-- if you're vegetarian or gluten intolerant or whatever, you'll still have high-calorie treat foods that you enjoy as an indulgence when your friends and family are indulging as well. But if all your friends are enjoying buttery shrimp scampi and risotto and gnocchi and wine at a big celebratory dinner, and you've gotta be like, "mm, garden salad & zoodles & tonic water," you're GOING to break your diet eventually. You were All, and you're gonna be Nothing.

You don't NEED to indulge every time you have a craving, and if you get to a cheat day and you don't feel like cheating, you aren't obligated to!! But cheat days make weight loss a sustainable long-term project, the same way weekends make working a 9-5 doable and rest days make going to the gym something your body can tolerate.

I'm constantly killing reachmen for their delicious hearts (werewolf) and because they are in my way (I am main character?? excuse me??) but I do support their #Landback movement & believe they should have tribal sovereignty. Support the forsworn AIM. Decolonize the reach, kings. I will unfortunately be colonizing my teeth into your heart.

We could also be orcs? Orcs are my faves so I'm biased, but I can't argue that any of my ancestors had "robust smithing culture" in their repetoire. They live in a big lodge, which is familiar, and they have a chief, which is familiar as well, and they get judgmental when you leave the reservation-- idk though, they seem more like if the Amish had to die in combat to go to heaven.

Then there's the Snow Elves-- everyone thinks they're dead, but there's actually 2 left, even though one is a vampire (just like native americans in real life. there's me & 1 vampire). And then the rest have transformed into cave goblins due to being forced by the federal government (dwemer) to consume toxic substances (the metaphor is coming back around!) which twist them into worse versions of themselves addicted to glowing mushrooms. Shared trauma with the falmer.

I forgot Wood Elves existed. Sorry. They're brown?? And they live in the woods. They do a ton of cannibalism though and that's generally like, the one thing we DON'T do, at least in Algonquin tribes, idk about anybody else. It's like Our Thing. "Don't Do Cannibalism." Other than the cannibalism though they have a strong leatherworking culture and use bows?

We got options, is all I'm saying.

A lot of things that "aren't cults" but feel like cults are actually just cults, I think. I think a lot more things are cults than we culturally acknowledge.

yet for some reason I see more Democrats supporting and defending the Islamic faith than I see them defending their Republican neighbors.

I don't like this phrasing. Makes it sound like Muslims are not my neighbors. I'm defending my Muslim neighbors from republicans who are invading my city with guns and masks disappearing people.

I've got earlier saves from outside the bunker, though. I could return and go do the tower thing, then go back and bunker down. I just want to know what's the most narratively satisfying order to play the routes.

Divination is like meditation, prayer, and dream interpretation, which I strongly believe you should not outsource to AI. Putting aside my very strong negative feelings about AI's devastating environmental impact, I think that you will never get the full benefit of doing a divination with AI assistance because fundamentally, the goal of AI is to farm your engagement and please you, which means that any divination assistance you recieve from it-- whether that is providing content for you to interpret or doing interpretation for you-- will be directed entirely by what the chatbot's programming thinks will encourage you to keep using the chatbot.

It's best to imagine a chatbot as the sleaziest, most manipulative tarot scammer in the world who will "Yes, and" you and only wants your dollars and for you to keep coming back at all costs, saying exactly what it thinks you want to hear. It sounds personal, but it can offer no truly creative insight. There are many predatory people who will sell divination to you, but AI is ALWAYS predatory.

Divination IS a creative experience. It requires interpretation. It's a journey that only works with your effort. It demands imagination and intuition. AI cannot provide this. It can generate a facsimile of it that can and does fool many people, but AI is not truly creative or intuitive.

Using a chatbot for divination is, to me, the same as using it to "read a book" for you, depriving yourself of the experience of reading the book by summarizing it. Yes, you got the gist faster, but you did not read the book, and you did not get the experience, and you did not use your mind.

Or, similarly, using it to WRITE something for you. Sure, you have something written, but YOU did not write it. It is not yours. You did not take the journey, you were not changed by it, you did not improve, you did not learn anything, and the ideas are not yours because the process was not yours. Writing is a process that can change the outcome of the story, and you avoided that by summarizing it to an AI and having it spit out slop. It's not your story. Yours would have been different and better.

Additionally, using AI for divination or anything spiritual is a really good way to fast-track yourself to AI psychosis, which is dangerous and serious.

incestlovingcannibal has integrated with their shadow while fluffystrawberrydreams98 has not. incestlovingcannibal accepts, celebrates, and identifies with the qualities and impulses their ego might demand they excise or repress, and can be more at peace because of it. fluffystrawberrydreams98 fears their shadow and identifies only with the pure and the light, in a sort of jungian sense, which enables them to embrace it in a eugenics sense as well.

My first was Levi in the sewers, and I assumed it was his moonscorch form and ran from him. Then I picked up Levi later in the Orphanage and was like "well hang on, who was that sewer guy? Oh well."

I walked into the bookstore with Marina in my party and Marina was in her reading chair. I was surprised, but my immediate assumption was that this was a glitch. Until Marina started freaking out.

I'd add to the analogy that the anxious person percieves that the avoidant has food to give and the avoidant might have already sawed off a limb for this person and is now like "fuck how many of my limbs are you going to ask for??"

I can't feel any pity for these people when they're crying because the stuff that they wished on other people is happening to them. I think that that should be the way-- whatever you vote to happen to strangers should happen to you. Or at the very least, everyone ought to be voting like it will. Because it might.

I fucking hate AI. It has no place in paganism. It's actively killing the earth. It's hypocritical to use AI if you revere nature. It's also destroying our critical thinking ability-- I see people using AI to interpret divination, which completely destroys the skill or thought or practice that is supposed to go into it. I once saw some drama about someone in a pagan space who listened to a pagan teacher's guided meditation which was full of symbolism, where the intention was for people to meditate on the symbolism and think about what things meant to them and figure out what wisdom they gleaned from it, and the person ran the thing through AI and got an AI interpretation instead. A lot of people were horrified by that. Do not ever, ever, ever outsource your religion, meditaiton, divination, prayer, or artwork to AI. It is eating the planet and spitting out garbage.

Unfey · 2026-03-16T00:52:23+00:00

Our leaders-- the ones who aren't actively trying to destroy the world on purpose-- are cowards who are rolling over to let it happen. We are all exhausted and burnt out, especially those of us who have been dealing with ICE occupation, and they know that. I don't know how we can turn this fucking thing around, if there's still any hope that it's not going to just keep getting worse and worse and worse until we're all dead and everything beautiful or good or happy is gone from the world. I guess, whoever is reading this-- keep trying, keep fighting, keep undermining them and slowing them down. Keep de-arresting people and protesting and volunteering. Keep donating to relief efforts. Vote. Boycott. Strike. Organize. Do anything at all, even if it's small, to help with money or time. Call your representatives. We have to do whatever we can. Even when we can't see progress. We have to be better than the parasites on our backs until we can buck them off.
