If you know basic kabbalah it's actually not too hard to make a golem out of a labubu. Don't recommend it though. They have a pre-existing body-dharma. As soon as they wake they run straight for the sea. V hard to counter. Lost the first one. No idea what it's doing out there. Moved like lightning.

is "six seven" even a meme or is it just what people end up saying most of the time when they're trying to describe a decent amount of something

when it comes to assessing literature there is very little daylight between "good" and "problematic"; they're almost synonymous

you could take all the ahab parts out of moby-dick and it would still be the pinnacle of the english-language novel. not so if you left them in and took out all the boat and whale science parts instead

you have a responsibility to those around you to read widely. don't condemn others to interaction with an uninteresting person

a good short story knows that the whole thing is contained within the final line and that everything leading up to it is just a guidebook for understanding its impact

plot, theme, and especially character development are all fake. a text is nothing more than good sentences and vibes

it's possible, but i feel like "chocolate" is almost exclusively used to refer to the cacao-based confectionary rather than the raw ingredients. plus given that there are what look to be chocolate chips in it, and that would mean little pockets of concentrated bitterness, i'm going occam's razor

got an A+ in spelling at harvard college @jajcrob.bsky.social · 2d

it specifies "dark chocolate" which is sweetened, if it had said baker's chocolat or cacao it would be more ambiguous

"well the sweet and savory contrast"—chocolate is ALREADY a sweet and savory contrast, it's just gonna make everything taste gross
