Only Lord knows how I wish to bear the sensation of my bones being ground to dust, by flesh being crushed into a pulp between the jaws of those THICC thighs.
I want nothing more than to be left as a sad, red, wet blob to bear witness to this goddess washing my blood off her legs.
There reaches a point in human stupidity that it suddenly becomes impossible to realize one's stupidity. These people cannot be fixed and cannot be helped in anyway that benefits anyone else around them. Even therapy won't do anything as they've become so stubborn and self righteous that they'd never believe the therapist, or bother to improve.
There is a reason this saying exists. "You can't fix stupid".
Ive been dealing with something similar to my mom. She's extremely abusive and entitled. She insists that I "owe her"
It's repeated a lot but rings loud for a reason. Cut them out.
Coarse diamond stone and a thin cheap knife. The coarse stone is fast so you get immediate results and feedback, which is crucial for learning. You want to use a cheap knife since you can damage knives with bad technique. Cheap knives are also softer and sharpen faster
Diamond plates are much more straightforward than waterstones. You dont need to soak it, water it, flatten it, etc. They aren't necessarily better, but they require much less maintenance
Also I highly recommend freehand. Youll always encounter a knive that doesn't work with this, or that system, but you can sharpen every knife, tool, scissors, etc, on a normal sharpening stone.
Honestly captchas and the enshittification of the internet has completely driven me away from tech. Its become so user hostile that it simply is no longer worth the effort. There have been times where just to access a page I have to do five rounds of captchas.
Sharpening stones and files. I can't imagine using dull knives. I can't stand knives duller than hair popping sharp. I have excellent knives that hold a crisp edge and I sharpen those every 30 minutes of super fast chopping (10 seconds on a 9k stone).
Not just knives but scissors, trowels, shovels, cooking spatulas, dust pans, vegetable peelers, can openers, toenail clippers, all need to be sharp. Not being able to sharpen all of those would be a tragedy.
If you are delaying getting into sharpening, just do it. It will serve you for the rest of your life, and I sharpen every single day (I'm a woodworker). Its truly a luxury to have sharp tools, all the time. So satisfying.
Aside from that, chocolate. The cravings will never go away.
Air conditioning, but I would argue that is a very expensive necessity.
When pinto wants to have a conversation he will ALWAYS respond. Sometimes I'll stand and stare at him saying random stuff, and he'll always yell once I finish my sentence. This can go on for 10 minutes, usually when I'm doing other stuff.
The united states has funded its military to be capable of fighting a two front war with both Russia and China. We already spend hundreds of billions every year building and stationing equipment and troops in Europe and NATO allies.
Ukraine has been doing all of that for us for YEARS.
Running free elections are hard, especially when a lot of foreign countries have a lot to gain from rigging it (primarily Iran and russia). They need some time.
