"Fiction is one of the few experiences where loneliness can be both confronted and relieved. Drugs, movies where stuff blows up, loud parties -- all these chase away loneliness by making me forget my name's Dave and I live in a one-by-one box of bone no other party can penetrate or know. Fiction, poetry, music, really deep serious sex, and, in various ways, religion -- these are the places (for me) where loneliness is countenanced, stared down, transfigured, treated."

Social media companies should be forced to charge for their services and stop relying on ad revenue. The starting price for small companies should start around $10 per month and the big ones should start at like $30.

Blueberries are the goddamn worst.

My grandparents had like twenty blueberry bushes at their house, and every year we'd have to go help them pick blueberries, and then for goddamn months afterward we'd be eating blueberry muffins, blueberry pancakes, blueberry cakes, blueberry jellies, blueberry cobblers...

Muffins should be savoury. Cheese, onion, spinach, sundried tomatoes, lil chunks of feta, toasted pumpkin seeds on top. Extremely good.

I thought corn muffins were the default muffin.

I'm all about corn muffins, cut in half across the middle, toasted & slathered in butter on both sides. Some people like jelly; I'm indifferent.

If they topped Cupcakes like Cake Cake's they'd be fine. It's the mountain that's the problem. Modern Bakeries put far too much emphasis on Aesthetics at the cost of Taste.

No the texture especially is different. The Cupcakes are small cakes, they should be light and airy, Muffins are much denser and more liable to have mix ins

Muffins should only be used in hand to hand fighting. Some of those super dense southern fighting muffins could sink a small boat if thrown hard enough.

Cup cakes are like smearing heavenly smooth buttercream over a chocolate flavored cloud. Airy. Free. The opposite of those lesser berry befouled cinderblocks that are muffins.

I like fresh or frozen blueberries well enough but baking seems to destroy whatever flavor they hold.

Banana chocolate chip muffins are good, but banana chocolate chip anything is good.

I'd take a savoury muffin over a sweet one, but I'd take a sweet muffin ahead of almost any cake of any size. Most cakes are bad.

Strawberries are very good, when they're good. They do often suffer terribly from the problem a lot of fruit has of being grown for appearance over flavour and sold unripe though.

Brownies are poo poo. I do not understand the appeal. They taste... fine? Not great. And the texture's nothing to write home about either. They are the platonic ideal of "that was a dessert, I guess". Just a thing that exists and can be categorised.
