New plan: Find a Husband.

Then together: Start a vegetable garden. Cook good foods. Smoke meats. Build a chicken coop. Plant fruit trees. Make jam. Bake sourdough. Brew kombucha. Play music. Woodshop in the garage. Go camping. Paint the walls. Read books. Take a nap. Make love.

solution: write down meals you like on index cards, shuffle through them when you aren't sure what to make

ignoring whether you "should" have this problem, there are ways to solve it!

[Andrea_Amati @AndreaAmati9]

Why is this such a difficult thing for women? Nearly, every woman I know (except Mom, who still has a rigid schedule for each night) struggles to think dinner. Not actually MAKE dinner, but think of what to make and this is an incredibly stressful thing for them.

[lisatomic @lisatomic5]

if I had to guess, men would have an easier time making meal decisions than women partly due to differences in caloric/micronutrient demands? men seem more likely to want "protein gymslop, again" and women more likely "idk I'm thinking smth with, like... walnuts? ...smth green?"

husband: "it's trash night tonight"

me, deep Holmes voice: "I, uh... I feel like I don't know anything about that..."

[lisatomic @lisatomic5]

I've been focused on work projects the last several weeks but I think I'll pause for a little general apocalypse prepping

[lisatomic @lisatomic5]

nice thing about my day: today I was in the kitchen and someone walked up from behind and hugged me, and for a moment it could have been any of three people

[lisatomic @lisatomic5]

@madeofmistak3 do you have a christmas sweater already?

in a parallel universe, not cosine distant from our own, Elizabeth Holmes has several Elon babies

@MaryJackalope oh yeah please do lol!

[lisatomic @lisatomic5]

ironically I need someone to discuss YCSE with me without getting mad if I keep asking them "ok but why?" à la Nathan Fielder

[lisatomic @lisatomic5]

this makes sense, and generally I do understand that people enjoy the sort of rollercoaster of emotions with no real fear of being harmed

but the part that surprises me (and led to my original question) is that they come away *liking* Nathan Fielder even though he's the one doing the behaviors they don't typically like

we don't come away from the action movie liking the shooter! we enjoy disliking him, as part of the experience

so it seems strange to me that people seem to like him so much, while still disliking people like him?

[lisatomic @lisatomic5]

was wondering to my husband earlier why people like Nathan Fielder's comedy so much when they really dislike those same behaviors in real life

his explanation is that ppl like it only when they are "in on the bit", and that feeling "brought in" is also why they like YCSE so much

[lisatomic @lisatomic5]

@ben_r_hoffman tbf asking why people enjoy seeing other people get shot seems like a fair question

and the second seems not at all the same thing

so can't tell if you're just mocking with this, or if you believe you're communicating an answer to my question!

[lisatomic @lisatomic5]

@ReallyRadley I'm curious what you'll make of it!

[lisatomic @lisatomic5]

@sevensix43 @strangestloop who?

[lisatomic @lisatomic5]

@selentelechia it's l'appel du peed

[lisatomic @lisatomic5]

@occamsriver did you ever see this one? It's very interesting relationally and I'd be super curious to hear your impressions

[lisatomic @lisatomic5]

speaking of documentaries, "Get Back" is really good

[lisatomic @lisatomic5]

which is why I think it is difficult for me to pinpoint why people like this movie as much as they do; almost everything is like this basically all the time

[Deep Learning is hiding in 🏜️ mtns @SH2F088]

@lisatomic5 Did you like it?

I'm having trouble figuring out why everyone is fussing over it 🙄

*it kinda feels like being autistic re to my autistic friends*
😂

[lisatomic @lisatomic5]

Amanda Seyfried interprets everything in terms of archetypes and stories and then acts out giant emotions corresponding to those. So she plays "The Normie" to Nathan Fielder's "The Autist", who struggles to assemble incongruent textual and facial information into a coherent story

[lisatomic @lisatomic5]

@CkLorentzen it was probably reasonable on IQ but refused to guess if I was male or female based on previous conversations

[lisatomic @lisatomic5]

stupidest thing I asked it was another twitter meme question. maybe I should stop doing these

[lisatomic @lisatomic5]

@myhandle yes, she seems the opposite of autistic to me in this way!

[lisatomic @lisatomic5]

@strangestloop yeah she seems to have some actual processing problem, but non-autistic in that she's less focused on concrete reality and details, but on high level stories and emotions then can't integrate info
