Non stick usually implies teflon coating. Throw it out.
I have some cast iron cookware. Fun to use, the end result does feel different, heat disperses well and evenly and keeps warm for longer.
It can be used over nearly any heat source, with similar results, but I do prefer induction. More efficient and less prone no mishaps.
That could work.
Doing nothing returns a substancially more probable outcome of sibling rivalry/hatred.
Family sense, notion and belonging are taught.
It's just the culture you grew up in but it makes no sense to me not addressing someone by their name and instead rank them by seniority.
I'm portuguese. Family is very important for us, even more than for italians, I risk.
Two generations back, no child would dare address a parent as such. It would always be "sir" or "madam". And the same would happen for any older people. It was enforced through religion and socially because we were under a dictatorship that wanted to "elevate" the country, so social status and ranking had to be constantly displayed and reinforced. Being a father or a mother was a function, in the name of god and for the advancement of the state and country.
Poor, humble, people could not care. Children were treasures by themselves and being mother or father is a previliege only few deserve. Being addressed as such was precious. It made their petty lives meaningful. And when the dictatorship was toppled, that notion pushed out the "proper", religion fed, state supported, socially enforced, status quo.
Children nowadays address parents in the second ("you") person, the same for grand parents, great-grandparents, uncles, aunts or any relative. Mother and father carry belonging and closeness. A family title implies care for the other, a bond that crosses generations, that binds people together. Blood truly runs thicker than water, here.
If a relative gets our formal second person, added to their family title, that immediatly signals that person is not a close relative nor a person we are at ease with. If a relative gets an added "Sir" or "Madam" it's implied the family tie is recognized but nor trust or closeness are granted and the other person will have to earn it.
This also bleeds to social interactions. If introduced to someone, most will stick to the more neutral formal second person. It can easily evade titles and passes as polite but only out of courtesy, as we have no previous connection towards the other. The informal second person can be earned between work colleagues or someone we interact on a daily basis. If the formal second person is enforced, that is distancing being put between people and that denounces they don't get along. Demanding a title is close to stating two individuals only deal with eachother by necessity.
However, it is considered polite to address someone by their professional title, especially in health related context.
Back to family.
A family is only as strong as the individuals that make it up. My children address me as father and that is an honor and privilige they grant me. But my name in their mouth is their recognition of my individuality and the same is true in reverse. I do not admit to anyone demand from my children an addressing by "Sir" or "Madam" without giving them the same deference. And if I refuse formality and insist being addressed by name is because I want to be recognized by who I am. It saddens me to hear close relatives and people that work and collaborate on a daily basis hide behind titles or enforce artificial social distance. We all rely on each other. In a broad sense, we are all related.
By order of preference:
(stay with me, people, I'm just that annoying)
So swearing is the natural human booster and it is scientifically demonstrated?
First, write for yourself.
Not what the trends or market may be pointing to or wanting but what you would like or want to read yourself.
Second, just write.
Does not matter when, how, where... Just write. Let the words flow, sentences build, paragraphs form.
Third, write with no concern if it makes sense.
Our uncouncious mind has a voice of itself. Let it out. Most times, what is holding us back is something underneath the surface needing to get out.
Fourth, write now, read later.
Put it out now but allow yourself time to let whatever came out to cool and only then go read it again. It may not make it any further, it may be worthy of picking it further. Regardless, it will remember you of how were when it took form. Learn from it.
Fifth, write what you live in your mind.
We may be able to take someone on a journey with what we write but we are the only ones that know the minute details behind the veil and where all the threads left unravelled lead. We know the worlds we visit in a way no one will. Enjoy that privilege.
Sixth, write down a map of your stories.
Put down a framewire of what your work is supposed to grow into. Set the guidelines for yourself, how many chapters there will be, small ideas to insert into the story. And review it as the story build and evolves.
Seventh, write organically.
No story is set in stone, no matter how cristalized it may be in our mind. A sentence may throw the flow of the story in a previously unseen direction, a line of dialogue create entirely new branchings. Allow the story to tell itself, to grow, expand and evolve. Don't try to hold it to a fixed, predetermined form or path.
Eighth, and final, ignore what others tell or advise you.
They know nothing, of you, your work, your mind. Devise a science of one. Explore your mind, discover what makes it work optimally, how to tune in, at will, into that specific mindset. And, above all else, be a little bit delusional: you are the best writer on the planet and what you write no one else can.
Go barroque. As in absurdly elaborate on what you throw at people you dislike.
Spanish have a saying that gets thrown at people that like to run their mouth. Very loosely translated it says something along the lines of "May you swallow a peacock and every every feather turn into a straight razor". Takes some time to put it out. Gives a person time to get their blood settled.
But please don't forget insults have always been basic and directed or sprouting from prejudice. I understand and respect what you are trying to put forward but it will not be am easy task.
We are basic creatures. We still go for what superficially differentiates one from another. It's about anger and fear. It's primal. Spinning this off and putting something elaborate and as personalized or generic as possible is a tough endeavour.
I personally find amusing to insert some nonsense into my speech when letting out an expletive and for some obscure reason I tend to go for vegetables and gardening.
You can be asked to go tend your cabbage patch when you miff me and I would really want to see you go away.
But this works very poorly outside my language.
Good luck on your quest and have fun.
It should. Seeing in low light is a very useful thing. And we could dispense some of the light polution we create.
Low light vision.
I was always very sensitive to bright lights and sincerely fear I'll go blind at my last years but I can see at higher definition under low light conditions.
My vision stops processing color and I get higher definition of contrast. I've walked through dark areas with no difficulty, where others simply said they could not see a thing.
It would be funny to see the karma converted to currency usable to buy awards to give away.
Interactions like:
"Take my hard won [insert currency name here] in the shape of this award and get out!"
Nothing for nothing, get your things for free.
There is a degree of cult of personality but I risk that is more of performance to keep attentions on it. In shadows there may exist a whole, very well organized, "governing" body that will pick up the piece if the main stage is left empty.
