all they need to do is stop being so scary and we can be chillin

fuck yeah

fluids desperately needed some improvement and it looks like this will make things much nicer

hey its me the guy you predicted would tell you the thing you said i would tell you

the reason people say neofetch is useless is because the information it gives you is not very detailed when compared to something like inxi for example

i hear you - i’ve basically learned to avoid any topic or activity related to food with other people irl, which really sucks.

cooking is one of my favorite hobbies, can’t talk to my friends about it anymore. hell, a close friend from high school completely stopped talking to me because we had literally one very reasonable and civil (from my perspective) debate about veganism. it’s been years since i heard from them.

i got a single one of my close friends to even consider trying it, and i’ve been too anxious to even bring it up since last we spoke about it - a couple years ago now. they didn’t seem to believe in the ethics/lifestyle of it and i’m terrified of learning that this person i care so much about has decided that their sensory pleasure is worth more than the lives of the animals they eat.

my experiences with speaking about veganism to the people that i care about is that it is a taboo subject; one that will make other people upset with me and potentially ruin relationships. and i think that fucking sucks.

yeah the hardest part of being vegan is interacting with non vegans. gotta love how the default response to veganism (you know that thing we do to try to better the planet and animal rights and shit) is to argue as if doing something about the issues you care about is a negative trait.

mfs always got something to say and love attacking a thing that as far as i’m aware is proven to be better for personal health, the environment, your wallet, and animals.

yeah fast and furious is basically anime and i love it for that

i really like how this is just about the games. no corporations, no awkward presenters on a stage, just a bunch of cool games i would not have known about otherwise.

thanks for posting this - got a few new games on my wishlist :)

she samsung on my blorbo till i spurlock

the first time i read the title i thought you were just really excited

stuff them into a sack maybe

chickpea salad is my go-to for sandwiches! i usually go with chickpeas, mayo, and curry powder or buffalo sauce, but nori sounds phenomenal - gotta try that

do it! there are tons of how-to videos and articles online about fermentation. my only warnings are:

• make sure your containers are clean
• know what kahm yeast looks like and that it’s safe so you don’t freak out and think it’s mold just in case you grow some

i would say it is only marginally more difficult than pickling. you just have to calculate how much salt you need in the brine by weight - generally 2-5% of the combined weight of the water + veg - then you chuck the stuff in a jar and wait. the easiest way i’ve found is to weigh the veg in the jar covered with water, then pour the water out, add salt and pour back in so you have the perfect amount of brine. the only downside about it is you have to wait a while (up to a couple weeks depending on what you want).

hell yeah for pickled red onions - such an awesome item to have in your fridge at all times and they make most things better. i forgot about my most recent batch for a few months but that’s the beauty of pickling lol, they are still delicious even now. super easy too, i recommend anyone reading this who has never tried before to give it a shot - it takes like 10 minutes and most of that is boiling water/vinegar.

have you ever tried lacto-fermenting vegetables? it scratches the same itch pickling does for me, and it gives the veg a flavor that is hard to get otherwise. i like to do hot peppers mostly, but you can chuck anything in there really.

finally got myself a set of crochet hooks - i’ve been wanting to learn for a while but i’ve also been slacking on my current embroidery project so i’m trying to power through that before i start crocheting

gonna try to make some desk chair arm covers since mine are doing that cool thing where the material breaks and peels and is really uncomfortable

i want and try to be but i don’t succeed every day. i hate thinking about those times when i don’t succeed, but being mindful of those times is a big part of what i can do to succeed more often.

i remember it being pretty good in the beginning and not bad towards the end. it isn’t making any top 10 lists but it was enjoyable with a unique premise

this is the correct response.

get it in writing that they accept the risk that comes with not upgrading so it can’t come back on you. all you can do is CYA and make recommendations - if management does not agree with your recommendations make sure you have it documented that you informed whoever is making the decision of the risk.

if you think your employer will somehow still try to hold you accountable for this, save the aforementioned correspondence using something your employer does not manage i.e. a personal device. you could also let other people than this specific individual know about this so it isn’t just your word vs his.

exactly! whenever anyone says imperial units are “more intuitive” and better reflect “how it feels to humans”, i can only think: obviously, you grew up with it. that’s what you know.

no matter what measurement system you were raised on, it will feel intuitive to you and reflect how you as a human experience the world because you are used to measuring things in those units. having said that, i’d much rather we used metric if for nothing else than the ease of unit conversion.

corporation yet again proving that if you want to be free to use your own things that you paid for on your own computer you can never trust anything that requires an internet connection to not trample all over your rights

love it very cool really vibing with the current state of software and the internet

i think it is incredible how different cooking techniques can completely change tofu and you can do basically anything with it.

i’ve been making it myself for a couple years and what i make now is worlds better than when i started. recently i had a japanese bbq tofu dish at a restaurant and i legitimately do not think i am capable of preparing tofu like that myself - so cool to know that there is always new ways to enjoy tofu.

your food looks delish btw
