“Either hundreds of millions of people have always predisposed to the lure of the fascist, in which case the entire democratic endeavor is doomed anyway, or something of corporate liberalism has brought us here. Whatever the quality of its rhetoric, any politics that buckles at the prospect of even mildly inconveniencing the rich, or resisting an ally’s genocidal intentions, will always face an uphill battle against a politics that actively embraces malice. “Yes We Can” is a conditional. “Yes We Will” is not.” One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This, Chapter 3

Wait, when did I leave this comment?

That’s definitely an option, but it makes a bone broth which tastes less “meaty”.

I used to work for a production company that made food related video programming so “food hacks” is something that is burned into my brain at this point. If you don’t bake bread in a Dutch oven, toss a few ice cubes in the bottom of your oven to make steam while the bread is cooking so it makes a crispy crust. Pressure cook a whole rotisserie chicken (bones, meat, and all) for 20ish minutes for amazing chicken stock. Not really a hack, but Beef bullion and sun dried tomatoes in a cream sauce is a lovely combo. Add MSG to food when you cook. Toast spices before grinding them in a mortar and pestle to really make the flavors punchy. When making ramen, I typically make ahead of schedule some spicy compound butter I can add to the top for extra flavor. It includes butter, salt, garlic, Thai chili peppers (possibly even Szechuan peppers) blended and then refrigerated back into a butter shape. Boil water while you are searing steak so your smoke alarm is less likely to go off (assuming you have an oven vent that blows air rather than vents outside) You eat with your eyes first, so presentation is actually important when preparing food. It can’t turn around nasty tasting food, but doing a little bit of extra work at the end like adding chopped chives or parsley to a dish without anything else green on it adds a lot.

But if you blend it, you don’t choke on the first bite by inhaling cocoa powder. Isn’t that the whole point of tiramisu? Lol

Because being able to ignore politics is helpful to the liberal west who is trying to cling to status quo. It’s not helpful to marxist leninists who don’t like the status quo. This doesn’t make .ml more political, it’s just equally political reactions from different sides of an issue. Assisting and seeking to ignore or cover up clear abuses only serves to shield the abuser. Whistle-blowing might seem like a more political response to abuse, but covering up abuse is also political.

No, you just have to be able to fit your words into a Zine format

I had my cat laminated 🤺

The barcade near us has a Sinistar (1982) cabinet and I play it every time I go. I’m not even that good at it, but I love it so much. Also I love those Lucasarts point and click adventure games. Grew up playing Monkey Island and play it again every once in a while.

What show is this?

The thing on the scroll is usually what the meme poster supports and the 4th panel person’s reaction is who they’re making fun of.

Hall of Fame: HBO -> HBO Go -> HBO Now -> HBO Max -> MAX -> HBO Max

I love how you unquoted “evidence” in the original meme. I just wanted to know how the people you know were affected, and every message you send that avoids that screams “I totally have a girlfriend but she lives in another country and she doesn’t like her picture taken, but trust me, she definitely exists”

I mean, it’s just the entire crux of your argument. I’m also not the same person you’ve been talking to. All I did was ask you to make a claim instead of vagueposting about the definition of genocides being pretty wide and getting on a soapbox. It’s hard to have discussions when you refuse to communicate about the topic, but rather delve into meta-commentary as soon as you’re asked for any details that have brought you to your conclusion.

That’s a lot of words to avoid saying “I believe China is committing genocide because they are doing ____”. You have a friend over there but haven’t said what their experience is. You have said genocide doesn’t have to look like Israel but haven’t specified how it applies to China from your perspective. Make a claim.

I ordered online Jersey Mike’s (sandwich chain restaurant) on my lunch break at a new job, then walked a mile in the opposite direction towards a Jimmy Johns (another sandwich chain restaurant) and wasted my entire lunch break waiting on my food that was never going to be at the wrong restaurant.

Make a claim

The Whig party died because it failed to address the whig voters’ concerns over slave states. The Whigs in charge were too busy trying to find a moderate choice between traditional whig and democratic policies since the Whigs consisted of both northern and southern slave states and were too spineless to pick a side. Zachary Taylor (W), who had never voted or voiced his political opinion prior to running, won the nomination because whig voters in the convention thought being a middle ground candidate was enough to win. And he did win, but… After Zachary Taylor was president, Winfield Scott (W), who was running a diet-democratic campaign seeing how it worked with Taylor, was running against Franklin Pierce (D), a dark horse candidate who wasn’t even in the running until the 35th ballot at a stalled democratic convention. Scott, having lost the anti-slavery voters of the northern states, had an enthusiasm issue so big that people of the time regard this is one of the least exciting campaigns in presidential history. After Pierce won the election 254 electoral votes to 42, Free Soil and ex-Whig voters coalesced into the republican party. The whig party had been killed. If your party isn’t giving what people are pleading for or isn’t a real opposition party, it’s easier killing the party and starting fresh with something better than trying to lure the lost party back to your own values. And if we’re already putting forth all that effort to build up a new party when one dies, why not be cool and make it a revolutionary vanguard party instead of filling the vacuum in bourgeois elections?

Gotta use a brick because Mr Evrart is helping me find my gun.
