Do you have any other recs for like animated sci-fi shows aimed at older audiences like this, especially ones with leftist themes? I enjoyed watching Pantheon and want to find more vaguely similar media
Can you please recommend me some recipes from that book to try? I have it and made one thing from it (I think it was a kabocha squash stew) and I was very underwhelmed, but if there's better stuff in it I want to give it a go
Vegan who loves to cook here, and I've got some recommendations for you! As a quick note, I'm vegan for the animals but also interested in healthy eating, so my recommendations are generally for things that taste indulgent but nourish the body and soul as well.
- The Vegan Instant Pot Cookbook is easily my favorite that I have currently. The author, Nisha Vora, is the person behind the recipe website Rainbow Plant Life, which is by far my favorite vegan cooking website. She also has a new cookbook called Big Vegan Flavor that I have ordered but not yet received; I can't recommend it for sure but knowing Nisha I'm sure it's going to be excellent. In particular, Nisha is my go-to for Indian cuisine, but she has a wide variety of cuisines she covers well. The hummus recipe, the West African peanut stew, and the broth part of the pho recipe in the Instant Pot cookbook are particular standouts, and from her website I can't recommend highly enough her Palak Paneer with Tofu (follow the boiled tofu recipe, except you don't actually have to boil the tofu) and and her Chana Masala. She also has a YouTube channel that is also quite good. If you don't have an Instant Pot, I highly recommend getting one, they can be gotten on Craigslist or Marketplace for ~$40 usd where I am, and they're very worth it if you have the space.
- The Vegan Middle Eastern Cookbook by Noha Elbadry-Cloud is another excellent one. The recipes I've tried so far have been very flavourful and tasty. I like also that the woman who wrote it provides recipes from all over the Middle East and North Africa, and also includes her own twists on things that are not necessarily traditional but still very good. She has recipes for dishes that are vegan by default as well as good vegan takes on traditional meat-heavy meals, complete with good recipes for homemade imitation meats.
- I've heard good things about The Vegan Chinese Kitchen, which is written by the woman who runs The Plant Based Wok (cooking website). I haven't used the cookbook myself, but friends say it's good and I have enjoyed the author's recipes I've tried from her website.
Hope that helps! I'll let you know once I receive Big Vegan Flavor if it's good, because it seems like it's going to become my Bible of cooking.
(Also ADHD, maybe undiagnosed autism) This is so relatable, I've been getting very good at restructuring sentences mid-speech because I forget the exact word I'm looking for. Either that, or my brain hyperfixates on remembering the specific word I was looking for and I interrupt myself to try and get my conversation partner to help me remember the word I was looking for.
Have you seen that TikTok video that was like a 3 way split screen of Yellow Parenti, someone playing Subway Surfers, and one of those visual ASMR videos? We need to make more of that type of content

some real great takes here 
I was brought up in a household that was anti military.
Only as an adult was I able to form my own opinion.
Without a strong military in the past we would certainly not be here today and without a strong military now, who knows what other nation might decide to attack our sovereignty.
It's childish to be anti military - it shows you do not understand the interconnectedness of our society - good and bad.
It's disingenuous to ignore the effect the aggression of the cold war and its aftermath had on the current Russian situation.
Bro, I don't know what warped version of reality you live in, but without a strong American military to stand up to the Soviet Union during the Cold War, you'd be speaking Russian right now. Ukraine blew their chance to join NATO as soon as possible like everyone else did when the Cold War ended, and they are now being slaughtered en masse by Russia in their attempts to turn them into their newest southwestern oblast.
As a liberal raised during the backlash to the Iraq War, my attitude towards the Military Industrial Complex has really changed in the aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and China’s seemingly inevitable invasion of Taiwan. Add in the possibility that the US could be dragged into new wars in the Middle East and even possibly South America, and I really don’t think we have the luxury to say “weapons bad, let’s not build any”.
Being the policeman of the world absolutely sucks. War absolutely sucks. But one of the best ways to prevent China, Russia, Iran, Venezuela, etc from saying “might make right, let’s take this land and these resources from our neighbors, since no one can stop us” is for the US to say, “no, we will stop you and we have the will and the tools to easily do it.”
who's responsible for the US choosing to police the world? 
The US is the most benign empire one could wish for. History makes that plain, and just peeking over the fence at contender's tendencies and track record further reinforces that. Easy moral justification backed by actual moral justification.

When you say you want to know about the "why" in the context of math, is it like "why should I learn this stuff" or "why is this true?"
My math interest is more in the abstract rather than practical applications (and also it really depends on the particular math subject) so I don't have many recommendations for the former, but for the latter I think that learning math that's proof based can really help with that. I guess this also depends on the math you're trying to learn, but I have some resources to recommend here.
If you know some calculus but want to learn more about the "why", an acquaintance of mine wrote something called Intuitive Explanations: https://intuitiveexplanations.com/assets/CalculusIntuitiveExplanations.pdf
If you want to learn a little about a lot of different math subjects, this is a book I read some parts of and generally highly recommend: Beyond Numeracy. Another recommendation along these lines is the YouTube channel 3blue1brown, I think that person does a really good job breaking down difficult concepts into approachable video lectures.
I don't have any particular proof based books to recommend (I learned the concepts in uni classes) but something that I'd keep in mind if I were you is that sometimes when you're following along with a proof, the proof will start to assert something that doesn't immediately make sense why they're doing that. If you suspend looking for the why until you've read the whole proof, often it will make more sense in retrospect (e.g. "oh, they arrested X so they could show Y so they could show Z which lets them prove A")
I also agree with the other commenter that it'd be useful to know more about the type of math you're looking for because the subject is so wide. For example, maybe you're looking for introductory algebra or precalculus, or maybe you want math that's useful, or math that's interesting and accessible but not normally studied in high school, or maybe you're really interested in differential equations.
