XD Okay so I read this awhile back and I don't remember if it was on Wookieepedia or the Willow wiki (probably Wookieepedia) and I no longer have a source link, but if I correctly remember what I read, it said that, since both films were George Lucas, for April Fool's one year he announced that Willow actually takes place on a small backwater planet without space travel in the Outer Rim of the GFFA and all the magic in the movie is actually Force use. Well it was intended as a joke but the fans loved it so much he half-jokingly half-seriously made it canon.

Hey, look at me. Look at me. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: you need to condition yourself to being okay with being inconvenienced by things. The first time I spoke about this I meant it in a mental health way- it is good to go out to the store and see people versus just ordering alone at home- but there is another more pressing societal issue you should be more concerned about as well.

Any service you rely on for convenience can be weaponized against you the moment you begin to rely on it. Streaming used to be a cheap and convenient way to see movies at home. It is now exorbitantly expensive, you need multiple accounts just to get what you want, and any of those movies can be taken from you at any time. And unless you have gotten used to going through the “inconvenience” of owning physical media, you can do nothing about it. Same goes for buying things on Amazon. Same goes for any service like DoorDash etc. These companies WANT you to be reliant on them for convenience so they can do whatever they want to you because, well, what else are you gonna do?

Same thing goes for the uptick in AI. If you train yourself to become reliant on AI for doing basic things, you will be taken advantage of. It is only a matter of a couple years before there are no free AI services. Not only that, but in the usage of AI’s case, it is robbing you of valuable skills that you need to curate that you will be helpless without the moment the AI companies drive in the knife the way they have done with streaming. Delivery. Cable. Internet. Etc. It will happen to AI too. And if you are not practicing skills such as. Writing. You are not only going to be at the mercy of AI companies in the digital world, but you are going to be extremely easy to take advantage of in real life too.

I am begging you to let go of learned helplessness. I am begging you to stop letting these companies TEACH you helplessness. Do something like learn to pirate. It is way more inconvenient at the beginning, but once you know how, it is one less way companies can take advantage of you. Garden. Go to the thrift store (older clothes hold up better anyway). These things take more time and effort, yes, but using time and effort are muscles you need to stretch to keep yourself from being flattened under the weight of our capitalist hellscape.

Inconvenience yourself. Please. Start with only the ways you are able. Do a little bit at a time. But do something.

more people need to actually pick a side

yall need to pay attention to your surroundings more

When are you freezing cheese?!

???I'm not???

Thawed cheese? As opposed to???

ok maybe there's some more common word for it, but I've only ever heard it as thawing

you mean MELT??? as in MELTED CHEESE????? because it MELTS???????????

No! Melting is completely different!

You just thaw it! And it makes this sound occasionally while it does!

okay I'm gonna need you to explain what "thawing" a cheese means to you. is it bringing a cheese out lf the fridge and wait for it to be room temperature? is it heating it up so it's gooey and soft? i need to understand

No the cheese isn't frozen or cold. I don't know what other way to describe it as other than thawing? It makes a noise occasionally and when it stops it's usually done thawing

What actual change happens to the cheese after it “thaws”

it changes from an un-thawed to a thawed state

it's ready

good to go

What process are you doing to thaw cheese. where do you keep the cheese such that it's not thawed. Which physical properties of the cheese change between thawed and unthawed

ok I cant be the crazy one here. Nobody else thaws their cheese???

I thaw my cheese, but only if I get a block of the stuff, the sliced stuff is better for melting.

THANK YOU!

also ill temporarily forgive you for the sliced cheese comment. but pre-sliced is a sin

no no no i refuse to let this rest until i fully understand

so you. FREEZE the cheese? and then when you want to use it you. THAW it. that's what I'm getting from this conversation. is this correct??

also this might be important: what type of cheese are we talking about. cottage cheese? hard cheese? fake cheese (cheddar)? because i think i might be picturing the wrong type of cheese

no like I said before you don't freeze the cheese! That just dries it out! And the type of cheese doesn't matter. You. Still. Thaw. It.

What I don't understand is the PROCESS. like what is the ORIGINAL STATE OF THE CHEESE. is it just the state it is in when you buy it in the store. or is it cold. or is it room temperature. or is it warm.

and what is the exact process?? microwaving?? warm water??? just leaving it outside in room temp?????

please I seriously need to understand the PROCESS the cheese undergoes. if step-by-step instructions need to be spelt out then so be it but i really REALLY wanna know what's going on

Can you like take a video of the cheese thawing from start to finish to demonstrate the sound it makes and the process of thawing cheese

Unfortunately I can't. I'm at work right now, and I'm heading out on a trip in 2 days so I already cleared out my fridge so nothing'll spoil while I'm gone. But trust me I'd absolutely do that if I could. This is really frustrating and I GUARANTEE if you all saw it you'd immediately recognize what thawing cheese is. I seriously think I'm just unintentionally using a niche regional name for it which is causing all this confusion

OK IM FUCKING BACK!

ill have you all know that the entire time I was gone i couldnt stop thinking about this so im DETERMINED to show you all not only WHAT thawing cheese is, but also what the SOUND is so i can FINALLY have an answer to my ORIGINAL GOD DAMN POLL

i have nothing in my fridge and im tired rn from driving 6 hours so instead of going to the store i'm just gonna swing by my aunt's place and see if she has any cheese that needs thawing

gimme a few minutes

ok looks like im just going to the store. video of thawing cheese when i come back

now the question is will tumblr let me put a poll in the same reblog as a video?

no third option. you have no excuse this time

Jack, at 3 AM: Why are any of us here, really?
