Update on my smash burgers, 3 oz patty came out perfect. Now onto the sauces

I already have a recipe, but I am curious as to how the smash burger sauces are made and why they’re made the way that they are? Why is mayo a base? Is there some kind of chart that I could see that would explain flavors to me and what they are and which ones go with which?

So I’m trying to learn how to cook smash burgers, ended up with a burger that wasn’t the size of the bun

So basically just ended up with a really small burger. About how much ground beef do you need when you got an 80/20 split on the ground beef fat ratio to make it big enough to cover the bun? I grossly underestimated today. It was about half the bun size

Was rewatching The Dark Knight last night, and had a question. Is the act of Harvey Dent using Batman to get Lau back to the US morally unjustifiable considering him being Gotham's "White Knight"? It seems like it does contradict his image of trying to do things by the book or legal system.

So here's my set up. Harvey Dent is set up as Gotham's white knight. He does things by the book and is considered (before his fall) to be the hero of the story and the best out of the trio. This is seems like a very legally/morally gray choice in my opinion though. He definitely takes the view beforehand that he thinks Batman is doing good for Gotham and does think that his single handed crusade is unsustainable, but turning to him does contradict the idea that he will do things legally to get Gotham back on track. Turning to Batman because Lau cannot be brought back seems like an "ends justify the means" type of scenario. It does skirt around the law.

I’m 97% finished with the game. I need motivation to get to 100%

There’s so much content in the game (thankfully) I just need a pep talk to finally complete it

How should I feel right now about Claude code?

I just got a side project nearly finished (gonna make tweaks) with Claude code and it has me feeling weird. On one hand I’m happy I got it done but on the other it felt like the entire craftsmanship of the project got taken out. So like, how do I feel? Should I just make another one that I did or should I be happy that the world is changing like this? It used to take so much longer but my god this thing went crazy. It’s also my first time using the pro stuff, I’ve been hesitant to adopt it.

Just did a really close listen of Walcott. It honestly resonates with me so much

The piano throughout the song, the instrumentation building, and the lyrics being about a person needing to either stay away or get out of their limited space. I felt like that a lot growing up, just felt so limited by the constraints around me. As I've matured I notice more of a soft spot for where I grew up and how simple things were back then, but this song still had that note with me. Very glad I found it. I also love how it really doesn't have a chorus and it just keeps building to the end

Women on r/texts, am I right interpreting this as flirty?

Just met this woman on a dating app, we hit it off well and she started saying we were like yin and yang with our conversation, then I got hit with this after we made the decision to stop texting bc I had to work. What does this mean? Feral seems pretty on the nose but I’m just making sure

Curry Baker says Obsession is about codependency… how???

Curry Baker says that this movie is about codependency and how far it can go. I do not see that at all, codependency typically involves two people volunteering to give into the giver and the taker dynamic. And while that can kind of be true for how that plays out post wish, that is not the real Nikki doing any of that stuff. Her free will is completely absent from the film overall once the wish is granted.

My initial impression is that this film feels like it plays out more like a loss of innocence in the sense that getting what you want, especially at the expense of another person, can turn a shy, unassuming, innocent person into a really awful, despicable person. All of Bear's actions post wish are purely to serve himself, but he consistently acts like the victim (especially in the scene where the real Nikki appears and asks for him to kill her). It takes some really awful stuff happening for him to even begin to think "you know, maybe what I did was wrong and I really shouldn't be doing this." He was completely innocent when he made the wish, there was no way for him to know what was actually going to happen. Once the stuff starts actually happening though, he just stops caring because it benefits him. He gets what he wants, and he seems to be completely fine that it's all fake and none of it is real. It shouldn't even have to get to that point. Together (2025) makes a much stronger point about codependency, this feels more like a study of covert narcissism. That's my read at least.

What are everyone else's thoughts? Am I off base? Do I have my psychological terms right? I am no expert in emotions and psychology but I am interested to learn more because the subject is extremely interesting to me.
