i think one of these days mr beast is going to snap and go missing for a year. and they’re going to find him butt ass naked on the highway at 3:56 pm reciting video scripts to himself and then never be seen again and people will debate if it was real or not for decades

Various things that are called some variation of "pepper" in various languages:

"Pepper," seeds of the plant Piper nigrum, a.k.a. black pepper, used as a spice.

"Peppermint," a hybrid of watermint and spearmint.

The edible fruits of the plants of the genus Capsicum, known collectively as "peppers," which includes bell peppers, chili peppers, etc. (some European languages make a distinction between peppers and capsicums by using the word "paprika" for the latter. A word that is a direct cognate with pepper.)

Allspice, also known as "Jamaica pepper," "myrtle pepper," but also as "spice pepper" in Finnish and Swedish (I suppose as opposed to the kind of peppers that aren't used as spices?), the dried fruits of the plant Pimenta dioica. More closely related to myrtle, guava, and eucalyptus than pepper.

Horseradish, a plant of the family Brassicaceae, thus making it a relative of mustard, cabbage, and radish, known in some European languages as "pepper root."

Ginger snaps, biscuits flavored with ginger, known as "pepper cake" in many European languages.

"Sichuan peppers," the dried fruits of the genus Zanthoxylum. Related to neither black peppers nor capsicums, but part of the same family as citrus.

Undoubtedly forgetting at least some but anyway. Forgot why I was doing this.

I will reveal some behind the scenes stuff......so my american literary agent was initially worried about Sir Cameron being unlikeable because he sucks. and then the british publisher, when they bought it, was like hahahahaha it's so great how he sucks, can you add an extra chapter where everyone's mean to him and hates him??? and I was like YES I CAN!

maybe growing up on british shows like Blackadder and Fawlty Towers skewed my soft developing mind. those people really do love dipshits.

the problem. is not that breast augs and bbls and other plastic surgeries exist. the problem. is the beauty industry. we remember this, right? that plastic surgery in and of itself is not an inherently bad thing and people wanting them does not inherently make them vain? right? we're not going right back to the aughts where someone getting a nose job is a punch line in and of itself?? we ARE remembering this, right website full of queer people talking about how much they want gender affirming procedures, most of which categorically fall under cosmetic and plastic surgery??? we are not judging people for wanting to feel at home in their bodies but rather the system that tells them their bodies will never be enough????? right?????????

having anti punitive justice morals sucks because you want to say "man that guy sucks he should get hit with hammers until he dies" but you also want to make it clear you don't think anyone should be put in charge of the 'hit people with hammers until they die" machine.

Sometimes I have what I call "New Towel Blindness," which is basically where I forget I'm an adult with adult money that I can exchange for goods and services I would like, like say new towels instead of continuing to use my grandparents' hand-me-down towels they gave me when they downsized and I was in college.

And it is definitely one of those things exacerbated by growing up poor and then being a super poor twentysomething, but I think it's something many of us fall into.

Anyway today I bought a bra that doesn't cause my boobs physical pain, a purse in my style instead of continuing to use the poorly sized not-my-style purse I'd been gifted, and joined a gym because I remembered I can just give someone money in exchange for them teaching me how to lift weights instead of thinking "gosh strength training would be good to do as my body ages I wish I knew how."

"I warn you that in times of great economic chaos, especially when people had dreams of affluence that they now are not going to realize-and when they are not able to have even the choices their parents had economically-women are at risk. We will be told, "You were wrong to think you could have it all. You must repent of your aggressive ways, you must repent of your ambition." In times of fear and anxiety people will be looking for false scapegoats, false solutions, and one of those solutions will be that all of this can be solved by sending women home again."

--Betty Friedan

She originally said this in the 80s, btw.
