it's not all like that at all, and i guess i don't understand the mindset of being annoyed by other people posting about things they like...

oh there's lots of videos about the rise of jello in American cuisine. i haven't seen any recently, and don't feel like going through the effort of vetting a good one right now, but yeah, just look up something along those lines. it was considered a modern miracle of food science and quite trendy for a bit there. it was also heavily featured in one or more prominent government cookbooks in like the 50s being used in this kind of way. i don't remember many of the details, but i think it was basically from a time when people were excited by new chemicals in their food and trusted scientists in s lab more than farmers in the field to make safe consistently available food. this was a similar time to wonder bread coming to popularity because flour contamination was becoming quiet prominent. we were entering a time when our population has reached modern scales, but our sanitation practices and knowledge hadn't caught up.

that is the full name lol, just look up that.

huh, so the implication is that saying it looks good means that you're passing judgment on the outfit when it would be incorporate? to my American sensibilities when i pay a compliment it's just to be encouraging. there's no thought in my head that i might say something negative about it. sometimes it's like seeing a kitten and going "aww" I just try to let the kind impulse thoughts out intentionally. especially when complimenting my fellow men's appearance. we don't get that enough otherwise.

eh, I'm a photographer/videographer. sadly I more or less need to use it if I want anyone to find me...

worse than that is professors being required by the school's contract with the textbook company to tell you to buy a book that they have no intent on using because it's awful. that was way way more common for me.

to me the biggest difference is that in divinity it still felt like i could do literally everything, and like I was just checking off steps in a task list until i made it to the end.

bg3 is the first game where i actually feel more like I'm playing an actual ttrpg that organically breaths and moves with my actions and let's me do it all in literally any way i can imagine. it's the first time I don't think i could ever play through to every eventuality.
