Pretty good! Just living the adult life honestly. I'm trying to finish my book so I can tentatively send it to publishers, but I've got a long way to go.

Oh god I died. Hello new person, this chat is technically closed, but to be honest it's a little dead anyway so if you want to join feel free 🤷

I'm Echo by the way, nice to meet you.

ECHOOOOOO hi friend!!

Hello! I returned to the site like a bear out of hibernation and found so many new things so I'm just trying to find my way back!

Hello. I'm a semi-og.

Did you have a different user back then?

No. I actually joined the Chicken Chat in its second iteration, I believe.

Cackling at this DM from Andrew:

You should have said no /j

Looking through these chats remind me of last year, when they were flourishing… How has it already been so long?

Ew I sound like an old person ignore me

You should have said no /j

I would have but he's god so-

To be fair, it's not just this chat that's been a little dead anymore. The Hell chat and Share Things chat have also been dead 🤷

You should have said no /j

I would have but he's god so-

God has no say in our doings

IMAGINE CALLING ONE OF THOSE *crush trapped with you in closet uwu* BOTS NAAHH - I was wondering what the custom voice stuff was all about because I wouldn't dare use the app, this is scary
c.ai is giving us too much power and i'm wondering just how far people are gonna take it
Also, the wait times are probably gonna be cataclysmic, even for users not on calls - here's to hoping the servers can take it

I MISS MY DOG ;A;

Hi gays uhhhh I’m kind of experimenting with my gender identity rn (I think I’m genderfae? Still not sure tho) so if y’all don’t mind using they/them and mostly neutral terms for me right now that would be swell

I MISS MY DOG ;A;

UNDERSTANDABLE

too many hyperfixations, too little time.. 😔

Taking to an actual chef about my baking mishaps is wild-
I told her about the marshmallow cookie incident, and she asked me if I chilled the dough, which rack I used, whether I used a cookie sheet or a cake pan-

They were Pilsbury pre-made, pre-cut cookie squares-

Chilling the dough won't actually do anything. It's to harden the oils, but if you do that, you won't be able to scoop the dough untill it's room temp again anyway.

Not me thinking that chilling dough just kept it firmer while baking or something- not much of a Michelin Star over here, I just know enough to not have to eat microwave stuff every day.

Chef was very nice just extremely stressed - I'm working with her for the summer with a couple other folks. Helping kids cook and trying (and failing) to get them to try new stuff.
Apparently, pineapple upside down cupcakes and marshmallow brownies are no match for heckin McDonalds-
