If you like you can add some stock or water and have it in a brothy consistency, I also like to throw some leaves into any noodles or other soup dishes.

It doesn't need much in terms of cooking, the Chinese approach to vegetables is to let their natural fresh taste come through. I like to simply lightly stir-fry (a little above medium heat) with a bit of salt and garlic by themselves or with shiitakes (fresh or rehydrated) cut into chunky strips. You can finish with a little sesame oil drizzled on top. If they're small you can use the leafy part and stalky part together, if they're a bit bigger cut each leaf horizontally into 2-3 sections, and put the stalk parts into the pan first for a minute or two before adding the leaves. Better undercooked than overcooked as a general rule.

Wait so… is the US dependent on Chinese materials to make munitions that are ultimately supposed to defend against China? Because that seems like a really, really dumb idea

Trump loves throwing his weight around and hates actually committing to anything. He likes to keep people hanging as that gives him a sense of power. But committing to things means spending money and also potentially looking bad if it goes wrong. I don’t think even he could spin losing a carrier, for example to his most ardent supporters as any kind of win. The fear of looking like a loser drives so much of what he does.

Having said that, I think it’s gonna depend a lot on how well Israel and the hawks around him manipulate him emotionally. Iran is playing the game well so far but he could still end up feeling like he has no other choice to pull the trigger. That or Iran somehow makes a misstep and pisses him off.

Pretty sure Trump usually uses “in two weeks” to mean “I can’t be fucked with this shit I’m just gonna hope that you’ve all forgotten about this by then”

I seem to recall some bri'ish guy got done for selling "ied detectors" to the military that were literally a plastic box with an LED light glued on

If you believe you can’t do something then you definitely can’t.

Everyone else has covered the specifics very well but on a general level, you need to rebuild your relationship with your reward mechanisms. It sounds like you’re not allowing yourself to feel satisfied at what you have achieved, because you think it’s not enough. You need to start letting yourself feel good about having done exercise, about getting a summer gig, about being someone who tries, about considering college.

The reason for this is that if your brain doesn’t get rewarded for achieving small things, it doesn’t give you motivation to seek greater rewards, because it starts believing that nothing will bring it satisfaction. I’m talking on a chemical level.

I was in that trap for most of my life and I’ve recently been working myself out of it. It sounds silly but you just have to keep telling yourself stuff like “I worked out today, good job me”. And most importantly: praise yourself for doing the action, not for achieving a result.

I believe in you OP.

So they can’t even intercept them during the day now? Or they can’t disrupt the launch process during the day?

The Zionists hounded James Forrestal to his death over his opposition to the creation of Israel, and possibly assassinated him outright. It’s been going on for decades.

Thank you for this, very informative. The video from October is insane to watch.

If you allow “a backup copy to be kept” on the app they keep an unencrypted one yeah. You can turn the setting off but it will try to prompt you to turn it back on every few months lol
