Sir/Madam, you have invented alchemy.

Lead and human waste goes in, gold comes out.

Bravo.

Thank you!

Starring this and saving the links to my bookmarks!

I am no stranger to seasoning, but uh, mostly with eggs and potatoes and meat and various baked bready things.

My only real experience with vegan cooking... beyond learning how to make a few interesting salads... is utterly, totally failing at attempting to make tofu into something edible.

Failed quite badly at that lol.

But I will definitely see if I can orient more of my next grocery run (delivery, really, yay disabled) around any of this, see if my arm and wrist can handle the prep.

Thanks!

I mean... these examples I'm seeing are ... while real, and extremely troubling...

These are all relating to cops.

Lawyers are not cops.

They do not play by the same legal rules, so to speak, and uh... this isn't a case where the complainant or defendant... is a cop.

So ... I mean, I am not a lawyer, but I don't think this ... works in the way you seem to think it does?

Like uh, police can do a bunch of shady shit, they can lie to you, they can bullshit their way into searching you or deciding some extreme circumstance allows them to do some bullshit...

But a subpoena is a not a thing cops do. They do not issue or execute subpoenas.

They execute warrants.

Warrants are not subpoenas.

I mean, I guess that isn't impossible, but I really have no idea.

My guess would be that they are just assuming they can get away with whatever bullshit they do, because fuck Luigi, hail corporate?

I do not know.

On that note, has someone made a revised version of Crowder in the 'Change My Mind' meme format?

Maybe replace him with, oh i dunno, his exwife, who left him after he abused her?

She does seem to be wearing something like a black sports bra underneath the... DragonBall Z universe crop top?

My old friend had a male cat he named Leonidas.

Yes, he got him shortly after 300 came out, rofl.

Hunters and hikers in northern WA are still advised to be aware they are rare, but still a possible encounter, in the Cascade foothills.

But yeah, they are certainly a lot more rare than they used to be.

Like the Cedars of Lebanon, long, long since logged out of existence.

Ok, that makes sense and generally tracks with my own experiences.

Particularly:

Ironically being vegan is pretty big in punk spaces now too.

The handful of folks I knew who were actual punks, in actual punk bands, played at local bars, were among the most genuinely kind people I'd ever met, and were the most dedicated, and also non-sanctimonious vegans I knew.

Unfortunately, I was more often around corpo yuppie types... bleck.

If you could link me to some kind of seitan or blackbean uh... patty making guide? I have no idea how that works, but I'd love to learn, love to switch over to something less meat intensive as I slowly recover and can handle more involved cooking procedures.

I appreciate the answer, I expanded on my own... non vegan status and thoughts about this a bit more under another replier.

Could I ask you?:

How common is it among the vegans you know to apply the kind of, do as little ecological harm as possible mindset...

How many of them apply that to... other kinds of economic activity?

Like, how many vegans do you know who say, own and drive a car, that may be powered by oil from say, a fracking field?

I'd imagine most who are serious enough to be as ethically vegan as possible are also very much anti-capitalist as possible...

But at the same time, I've personally known a good deal of self described vegans who... regularly drive their own car to work, despite living near a transit line that would totally get them to work... and also, their work is for the corporate office of a highly exploitative (in many ways, of many things) corporation... like Amazon, or MSFT... and then get very aggreived when I just... work remotely, and tell them they should probably take the lightrail/bus.

(I'm from Seattle if you can't tell lol)
