It’s just so… surreal. Richest (and one of the most powerful) guy in the world begging his internet followers to be real niceys to him because online lefties making fun of him hurt his feelings, but neither him nor his followers would respect him expressing that kind of vulnerability so he has to somehow spin it as trolling and #Owning the radical lefties.
amazing pic of a momma lion eating her baby after she found out he used her credit card to buy Vbucks without permission. nature is brutal, yet beautiful
theres a popular brand in canada called no name brand and it manufactures everything you can imagine in a grocery store and it kind of makes me feel like im in a world no one bothered to do much world building for
I know its a joke but “Poob has it for you” annoys me so much because Poob is region locked. Poob does NOT have it for you if you’re outside of the US and Canada. I’m not using a VPN and virtual debit card just to sign up to Poob.
Poob is removing the show in 7 days. Poob only streams 480p if you use a computer. Poob has Season 1 but seasons 2 to 8 require a Gopaz+ account. Poob has it, but not in stereo. Watch it on Poob, but there aren’t any captions. Poob is currently experiencing an issue, try again later.
artist in denial of being depressed: omg this 2 month long art block has been crazy… sorry i haven’t updated any of my fics in a long while! it’s just been super difficult to daydream! so weird that i’ve lost a little bit of passion for my current comfort character and ocs… this couldn’t possibly have any implications or alternative explanations
people saying some variation to “oh no” in the notes of this post are very funny but at the same time. i wish you a very Feel Better
never related to authors being like “childhood is such a blessed innocent time”, catch me with that jane eyre shit like “such dread as children only can feel” and “I then sat with my doll on my knee til the fire got low, glancing round occasionally to make sure nothing worse than myself haunted the shadowy room”
CHILDHOOD IS MARKED BY FEAR WITHOUT THE WORDS TO EXPLAIN IT
“Sex is what makes us human” is stupid. Almost every species fucks. Humans are the only species that jumps motorcycles over school buses that are on fire. Some other things too probably
my “i <3 wearing clothes until they’re in rags” shirt is raising a lot of questions it is unable to answer due to the large holes rendering it illegible
That’s an easy fix; the large holes could be endlessly gibbering mouths of fabric trailing ragged threads from their thin lips. Then the shirt would be able to communicate whatever it wished.
This guy is my new hero. I LOVE learning about native food plants that just grow everywhere without human help.
The database is a little clunky to use (especially on a phone), but still loads of excellent information.
Here’s their website - Food Plant Solutions - and they can use volunteers! And $ of course. What they really need help with is connecting with NGOs/groups on the ground already working in countries, to get them access to the database. They also need help from formally trained agronomists, people good with website stuff, and people good at marketing / getting the word out about their project.
I think you can tell a lot about how rigorous and committed someone’s belief in a human right is by how quickly they are able to name people who they think could or should have that right taken away.
Like “X is a universal human right. (This doesn’t include Y people though)”
Either you think X isn’t actually a human right, or you think Y aren’t people.
“Yeah, but if they broke the law/are a felon/are a criminal then…”
two tgirls cuddling in bed. they are holding hands and kissing sensually, as if the world doesn’t exist outside of their embrace. they are both loved and cherished.
this is a shadow of Sky Tower, the tallest building in the city of Wrocław (Poland), regarded as the city’s penis.
it does indeed look like one. it is also so tall and in such a flat area that you can easily see it from kilometers away. and at all times the penis shadow is cast upon the oblivious sheeple.
Fairly certain its neither– I believe it’s a hawk. Judging by the look of the streaking, in the genus buteo, and guessing location its most likely a broad winged hawk or red tailed hawk. juve red shouldered is also possible, but the tarsi length and outerwing coverts have me leaning BWHA
“Meatless alternatives are getting so good, you should try them! I bet you wouldn’t even be able to tell the difference! In fact….”
Please
Please
Please stop trying to sneak-feed me meat alternatives.
I am willing to prepare and share a vegan meal with you, I’m willing to skip animal products in our group spaces.
Please.
Stop trying to sneak-feed me meat alternatives.
Mycoprotein is fucking cool, vat-grown meat is fucking cool, believe me I am fucking down for figuring out efficient calories and I’m interested in attempting to reduce or eliminate animal agriculture but you wouldn’t want me to sneak-feed you cricket flour, you don’t get to sneak-feed me your stuff.
I wouldn’t mind if you snuck-fed me cricket flour, actually. If cricket flour is indistinguishable from regular flour then sure, go for it.
I really don’t know what the initial gripe is about, though. The anonymous person you quote is not trying to sneak-feed you anything. They outright say “meatless alternative.” Is your problem that they may have GMOs? I genuinely have no idea what your complaint is, because you’re talking about people sneak-feeding you meatless stuff but your pics are all about GMO corn starch or whatever.
I have celiac disease and a corn allergy and a relative who wanted to try to pass off impossible burger as ground beef to prove how good meat alternatives are.
I don’t care about “gmo” and I dont care about the fact that it’s “textured protein” I care about “corn” and “wheat” and I care that people without food allergies rarely know how inescapable some of those allergens are.
“Oh, I checked the ingredients, it doesn’t have corn”
Okay but does it have maltodextrin, modified food starch, xanthan gum, caramel coloring, dextrose, or glucose syrup?
If it does have any of those things do they specifically say “from potatoes,” “from tapioca,” “from cane sugar” or “from rice”?
If it didn’t did you check the manufacturer’s website? If that didn’t say did you call the manufacturer?
Sometimes I’ll use almond or coconut flour as a replacement for wheat flour when I’m cooking. I do not try to pretend that my alternate flour chocolate chip cookies are wheat flour chocolate chip cookies because most people don’t expect to run into coconut or almond when they pick up a chocolate chip cookie. I don’t try to hand them to people, wait for them to eat a cookie, and say “hah, bet you didn’t think gluten free cookies could taste good, huh?” because if I did that to someone with a severe allergy it could kill them, but also because people should have a say in what they’re eating.
I’ve got no problem with beyond beef or impossible burger describing their products as meat alternatives, I’ve got no problem with GMOs or the fact that quorn is made out of a heavily engineered protein. That’s all very neat, actually.
But I do have a problem with people trying to sneakily serve meat alternatives without considering that doing so is shitty for a number of reasons.
Also, insect protein can cause severe reactions to people with shellfish allergies, so that’s another reason not to feed cricket flour to people without telling them.
Honestly, there’s no good or reasonable reason to lie to anyone about what you’re feeding them. It’s not your body, you have no right to decide what goes in it.
Also, I do have questions about the relative ecological benefits of a lot of these products when you account for the level of processing required and the agricultural processes they use. Especially if you’re comparing to small-scale, local level animal agricultural (rather then focusing exclusively on horrendous factory farming practices). I think the issue is a lot more complicated than a lot of people on both sides are willing to admit.
i’ve been told by various european friends that the most american sentence i’ve ever said is “sophomore year of college, some friends and i road-tripped thirteen hours to florida for spring break.”
and now i can confidently say this is the most guy-who-lives-in-paris sentence i’ve ever said: “today i was cycling to meet a friend at buttes-chaumont and i went over some cobblestones and my baguette got launched out of the bike basket into the middle of the roundabout”
here’s libreoffice, its similar enough to the microsoft suite to be useful to me.
its a free open source software. i downloaded this as soon as the AI shit rolled around and i stopped using MS suite & google docs because i was fucking tired of everything being online, but now if MS is gonna start charging for shit that should be free, only the more reason to use other programs. i know microsoft can be a little hard to escape but this is at least a start
notepad ++ it’s free, it’s slim, it has tabs, notepad but better in literally every way, you can customize it with tons of plugins, it’s pretty much the standard in any IT company I’ve ever been at
there were like a billion and a half people in 1900 (wolframalpha), all dead now, many pretty cool, some who wrote stuff that’s worth reading, probably some who understood some particular issue or were capable in some particular art in a way matched by nobody currently alive. Often because it became irrelevant but still
love saying “ich krieg die krise” for i’m losing it / i’m freaking out / etc because it translates directly to “I’m getting the crisis”. you know the one. THE crisis. the one and only baby. ye ol reliable
i’m really thrilled about the resurgence of bad luck brian memes but when i tried to make one i sat there staring at the canvas like an apprentice surrounded by his master’s work and i was unable to pick up the brush
