I want to learn how to cook. Now that I'm not a lone NEET anymore but in a relationship, I want to reach a level where I can cook a succulent meal for my partner. I want to start simple, with a focus on noodle dishes. Later, I want to move on to rice dishes, but that's for the future.

Hit me with your tips and tricks for someone who has cooked maybe 4-5 times in his life and hasn't cooked in like 10 years. I'm a complete noob.

Also, YouTube channels would be greatly appreciated, especially those focused on simple dishes and easy stuff. I don't need anything complex for at least the next year.

Simple. Quick. Tasty. Thats what im looking for.

Thanks, Hexbears!

So, I recently played Vampire Survivors with my girlfriend on PC. I think they liked it. They arent new to gaming so no need to hold back. Can you recommend any fun or good games that you can play with a controller on PC? One person using a mouse and keyboard and the other using a controller is fine as well.

I'm open to pretty much all genres as long as the games are available on PC. If they are a bit simpler and easy to get into, that would be preferred.

Thanks Hexbears

If not. Can you prove it wasnt ? Think about it. Was Genghis Khan actually creating productive forces ?

maybe a tad to close to reality ?

What the title says. Im looking for fun/informative youtube vids on anything leftish. I already have some channels I enjoy like Secondthought and the deprogram gang. Im just trying to avoid libshit or reactionaries.

EDIT- Thanks to all the posters who recommended something

So, I'm currently dating someone, and it's my first time dating. I was a kissless virgin before this but I’m not kissless anymore ^^. Anyway, we get along really well, sharing a lot of interests and similar views. They're a "newer" lefty, but they have a good head on their shoulders and are open to learning. We’re really excited about each other. We've talked a lot over voice chat, had three dates so far, and exchange a bit of daily texting. At this point, I'm pretty sure we're going to become a couple, maybe even for a longer time.

Today is our 4th date, but I do not intend to tell them I love them because I'm not really sure how love feels. I definitely feel attraction, and it seems very mutual. I guess my question is: When do I tell someone I love them, and how do I know when I truly love them?

Im asking because this is literally my 1st time dating and I have never been involved in anything romantic.

Kind of what the title says—I want to learn more about the Byzantine Empire. It doesn't need to be an academic book in fact, I would prefer something fun to read and not too dry. I'm mostly interested in the later years, around 800-1400. If anyone has a recommendation, hit me up! I´d settle for historical fiction as well.

Sorry I gotta vent.

In the big liberal places I frequent, every second person talks about how we need to defend democracy and how they would be ready to fight against Russian or Chinese invaders.

Like, seriously, I'm not going to die to defend liberal "democracy". If I'm ever forced to serve, I'll go through training, and then, as soon as I know how to handle a weapon, I'll REDACTED the highest-ranking officer I can find.

If these bloodthirsty fucks want to stop Russia, why are they talking about it on Reddit instead of being on a train to Kiev? I have to hand it to those silly Reddit brigades: at least they put their money where their mouth is, even if it's based on complete brain rot.

LETS FUCKING GO. MOON TARP
