Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The ads look awful. I don't think I could go near it.

Baking question--why does the recipe say 1 stick of butter (8oz) and my butter says 4oz/stick?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Your butter came from Mars?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

By and large I don't find the show cry-making, but hopeful, and I think I've actually learned something about patterns of codependence from it. YCMMV

No! I need to know before I mess up these brownies. Also I probably shouldn't rest sticks of butter on the laptop.

But I guess I put in two of my sticks.........

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I'm pretty sure I couldn't handle watching Intervention, although I probably could use the information contained within. I have enough peripheral heartbreak, thankyewverymuch.

it, google random brownie recipes and go with the measurements that match the flour to butter ratio. Mine are also 4 oz sticks and they are standard-in-my-life sizes.

Always Anti-fascist!

I've tried, because I'm fascinated with that subject, but so far, I just feel dirty. And not the fun kind. Like I'm peeping and shit.

Because books.

A regular stick is always a half cup, or four ounces. Does the stick look extra big?

I would go with the "one stick" direction, and assume the eight ounces was a typo. Two sticks seems like a lot.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

A stick would be four ounces by logic -- the box is a pound, and it has four sticks, right? 16 oz in a lb, 16/4=4.
