"Why is anime causing young men to troon out?"
And
"Why is it so difficult for even people who like anime but aren't trans to admit it?"

Two great questions from this thread. Fascinating.

Gets me wondering, are the large leaps in attainable sheet AP/DP we've seen in merely a single year comparable to the time they added enhancement to accessories long ago? By the time I was playing it seemed like the overall difficulty curve to reach TET boss gear + TRI accessories was getting flattened. Regardless, there's probably some incentive for an endgamey area but the gearing curve is certainly outpacing most people.

Measure out your rice
If you like (not always necessary, depends on brand of rice) you can rinse your rice in a sieve over the sink. This is not to clean the rice, but rather to wash off any starches present in the rice that will make the cooked result gloopy and sloppy.
If you prefer, you can also remove starches by toasting the uncooked rice in oil, before adding water and boiling it with a lid on, but this will give the rice less of a fragrant taste and more of a nutty taste

The container for measuring the rice is ultimately irrelevant: it's relative because you will be adding 1.5 (or 1.75 if you feel "cheffy") times the amount of water as you added the rice.
This means that if you used two cups of rice, you will add 3 cups of water if doing 1.5, or 3.5 cups if doing 1.75.
You can use a cup, a mug, a bucket, whatever... all that matters is the water ratio relative to how much rice you put in your pan. Remember 1.5 or 1.75 water ratio and you will always be fine with basmati rice

Put the rice in a pan
Add salt, as much as you want. It probably needs a little more than you think it does. A good fat couple of pinches is ok.
Add oil. You can use olive oil. You can also add butter as well if you like or instead. But not too much butter and not too much oil. A good glug of oil and a nice knob of butter is enough. Stir so the salt and oil incorporate over the uncooked rice

Add your water and let it boil. Leave it to boil for a minute without the lid on. If you want you can add stock cubes now, i.e. veg stock, chicken stock, etc., but this is not necessary. Sometimes you just want the subtle aromatic fragrant taste of rice to be an accompaniment to a main dish e.g. curry and do not want to have the rice overpower that flavour, so not adding stock is fine for that

Once it's boiling put the lid on the pan. If you don't have a lid you can use an adequately-sized plate. Turn the heat down to lowest&cook for 15 mins& then stir & leave off heat w/ lid on for 5mins. Fin

It just makes you more connected to the Earth. Like being a living being on Earth under Earth rules. It's called "earth essence" for a reason.

It makes you feel more honest and connected to the truth on Earth. That sometimes you do need to be a little bit rude / terse in order to get your feeling across to the other person instead of hiding behind some fake mask facade like you would when sober; though that makes the weed sound a lot more influential than it is.

If you're not being fully honest with your feelings with another person, you're shitting on yourself. Weed helps you realise that by making you realise that yes, you are an animal, you are of Earth, you are subject to the same rules and laws of Earth; it's natural and normal to be a little bit forceful and naturally honest about how certain people might make you feel, and that yeah, sometimes you can be an asshole, and that yeah, maybe sometimes that's necessary and normal and a part of life. Just so long as you don't make it personal.

So I can see from my experience with weed how that might make a person seem like an asshole to someone else. E.g.:
>Person A smokes weed.
>Person B has left the dishes out -- AGAIN despite being asked repeatedly to not do that.
>Person A confronts Person B about this issue and this times makes sure they understand how Person B's behaviour makes Person A feel, particularly when they've been asked before.
>Person B considers Person A to be an asshole about this, notices they're under the influence of cannabis, hmm! The pot must make them an asshole!

Weed also makes you more insightful and introspective, this sometimes can mean that you over-analyze certain interactions between people and yourself, perhaps unnecessarily, with an emphasis on SELF.
Despite all that, lot of it though depends on the strain, the person, the state the person is in, how often they use weed, the strength of the weed, etc.
If if makes you evil then you probably had some inclination to be so anyway.
