The process is chosen by the ingredients. Baking has very little variation in ingredients and even then the wrong flour can mess up a recipe. With cooking, there are natural variations in all natural meats and vegetables, so you might need to balance the flavours somehow. That requires a flexibility in the process. “Here’s what you want to achieve, you figure out how to get there”.
If you want to be lifted up, I always go back to Ursula Le Guin. Read, there are answers.
Oh man, this is so confusing. I’ve been pronouncing it Vin Van Gooly gooly gooly gooly Goff

11·29 days agoI thought the reason people side with Depp is because there are recordings of Heard mocking him for reporting abuse and admitting to hitting him, that he initiated the split, and that she gave an op-ed that suggested he was the sole abuser.
Basically all of this analysis relies on ignoring a bunch of evidence and reading into what Heard’s said. There is a shockingly long explanation of this point by point, something which is necessary only because of the time it takes to detangle “Heard sounds shifty”. Remove the suppositions, and it really just sounds like Heard is trying to save her relationship.
Secondly, primary or retaliatory, there’s a clear imbalance of power. This is a big part of what “me too” was about. It seems as soon as you’re of legal age, all manner of coercive power become meaningless to the public. “Me too” was about “well, no, I wasn’t necessarily raped as such, but there was a clear power imbalance that pushed me into decisions I wasn’t comfortable with”. It also discussed the idea of “the perfect victim”, where women essentially get the blame in a two-sides issue. IIUC Heard was barely upper middle class, and Depp has an enormous pool of wealth. There’s a clear power imbalance here.
Thirdly, and this goes back to the “I’m not on either side” part, the less you know the more susceptible you are to the organised campaign against Heard. That’s why people do these memes. That’s why I ended with: well if it’s both sides are bad, then why is Depp somehow beloved and forgiven and Heard is still mocked several years later?

4116·1 month agoIt’s interesting there’s a sharp line between what women and men believe here. Sadly, not knowing the details makes the propaganda more likely to work. Heard and her lawyer were stupid, but that doesn’t change what likely actually happened:
- The dog shit the bed, because of course it did it had a problem with bowel control. The fact that Depp’s team have managed to convince people of this ridiculous idea shows just how effective propaganda can be.
- Heard was raped and abused
- You would have to believe that Heard lied to her own therapist for months to manufacture this. Occam’s razor, no, it happened.
The reason people don’t like Heard is:
- She seems shifty
That’s it.
Here’s a video talking about it. To anyone still on Depp’s side: Maybe don’t support abusers? Maybe don’t support their narratives if you think everyone’s a scumbag? Where are the Depp memes?
Super bunny hop literally did a video about this. Not satire.
It’s not alternative medicine though? It’s like regular medicine but instead of it being prescribed he just thought he’d ingest some based on his own whims.

This meme is bullshit. She’s too tan for me to be wearing shoes inside her house, much less her room.
Since he said there’s no more sex, does that mean Matt can have sex now?
