  • This makes so little sense. Why would I care about signalling my ‘virtue’ to a bunch of anonymous people who have no idea who I am? I can say something nice or harsh because I believe it was affect the people who read it, even though I’ll never meet them. That is rational even if it doesn’t benefit me, if I care about the experiences of other people. But acting a certain way to gain positive regard for an anonymous identity is dumb af.

    And the main reason I or anyone else acts compassionately online is probably just that it’s the first and easiest reaction. I don’t troll or harass people, even if I would suffer no consequences from it, simply because I have no interest in doing so. I say something nice because that’s what I want to say, it’s not an effort or a cost.











  • Yes, I think the 24 hours was overkill. I’d read it on a few blogs, but I imagine that was for a bigger joint of beef. And i feel like it could have been rarer too. The texture was a bit too even, I prefer a little bit more bloody in the centre.

    Didn’t really much seasoning apart from salt. But we got an eighth of a cow from a local farm, so we’ve got plenty more roasting pieces in the freezer to experiment with!
