Ugh, yes! We never want to wait, but it's everything. I ruined so many cakes by being impatient (skipping that room temp step for butter and eggs is a killer). The waiting feels like doing nothing, but it's actually the most important part.

Actually, the weird texture comes from reheating. They make a big batch, let them sit, then zap them under a heat lamp or in a microwave when you order. That's why they get that brittle, greasy feel instead of just being soft. It's a different kind of bad.

Honestly, "handle training" makes it sound more formal than it is. I just showed a new guy how to run the band saw by having him cut scrap while I worked nearby. Sometimes they just need to get their hands on something without too much talk first.

Look at how AI lets regular people make art who never could before. It's not ALL copying, sometimes it helps artists get past creative blocks. I saw a comic artist use AI to sketch backgrounds so they could focus on characters. That seems pretty HUMAN to me. Maybe it's just a new tool, not the end of creativity. Why are we acting like this is some huge crisis?

YouTube in 2007 was a grainy mess with bad lighting and endless rambling. That wasn't some magical realness, it was just low effort and bad tech. People watch for entertainment or to learn something now, not to see someone's shaky camera and hear them um for ten minutes. Polished content shows respect for the audience's time, and calling a clean edit fake is like saying a cooked meal is less real than raw ingredients. Sloppy work feels lazy, not true.
