Literally the news article from a while back.

I can't wait for 20 years from now when the libs are upset about the US glassing Iran over fake claims of WMD.

I saw ROUX and got really confused. I still am confused but that's normal.

I'd be curious to know how it changed tbh.

Only against the ruling class.

All last weekend my fyp was brigaded by chud text posts where they try to act tough about the "radical libs protesting" and I still don't know what I did to deserve it. I barely ever talk to libs or chuds on there and my feed is mostly communist creators and stuff about autism...

My greatest fear is probably being realized about the "behind closed doors" stuff that happened to keep TikTok in the states. My favorite thing about the app was that the feed alg tended to stay with your interests instead of trying to bait you like FB does.

Thanks comrade!

Last Friday at our meeting, I had even mentioned that 2 of our comrades are starting go go into burnout and was vulnerable enough to share part of my autism diagnosis journey where I realized I was in severe autistic burnout for like half a decade. After I realized that, I took like 3 months of of life and re-calibrated. Now I take a mental health day once every other week or so to just chill and do low impact chores or watch movies. The group is working on ways that we can take the load of of them a bit and give them time to rest. We got a long way to go with this and can't afford to get beaten down this early.

I think my anxiety is a bit more under control and the depression is a dull roar right now. I do always check in with myself too.

I survived! I mostly freak about the needles and then after that it's pretty smooth. When I was a kid, my family dentist was a glorified horse doctor that hated kids. That's probably where the fear comes from. The one I go to now is actually pretty good. They waited until I was fully numb before drilling. I was offered gas but declined because it was $100 extra for it.

If this food co-op does take off, we have a few other plans in the works. But I wanna see the co-op take off before the year is over. I think things are about to move fast and we are gonna need to focus on this first though.

I had an anxiety attack on Saturday that essentially wrecked me for the next 2 day. Now I have to go get a few cavities filled and I fucking hate needles so guess who's back? Anxiety! I'm bringing my earbuds and a stim toy with me so hoping I don't turn too much into a 42 year old baby.

The group I've been organizing with started their breakfast program this week. Yesterday not a single kiddo showed up. catgirl-hiss I'm checking with them now and I guess this morning 4 kids showed up. We reached out to a local community leader and he spread the word a bit. I really wanna see this program take off! It's a first step towards our Food Co-op. We still need to get the website live because people are talking about it.

I'm gonna get my food handler license done probably Friday so I can start helping directly. I want to put as much effort into this as I can because if we start getting enough money from the Co-op, I get to be the first paid employee and that's gonna be substantially more rewarding than driving a delivery van for Amazon.

I'm not so uppity about time zones but Daylight Savings Time can kiss my whole ass.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Our local group of anarchist and Marxist hooligans are in early talks on how to start educating and radicalizing the group of radlibs that we were helping run cop watch, scanner duties, and jail support for. There is a lot of confused and scared libs that the little optimist in me thinks we can work with and help them start to understand things from an actual leftist perspective. If we can see even a few new comrades come out of this with the smaller turnout we had at the protest, I think it will be worth it. We won't counter-coopt the org, but I think it's a good place to develop networks and go from there.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

To the best of my understanding, 50501, the org is putting on the main ones. This is the No Kings one. We have a second thing going on today that is just a protest against the parade though. There was something I saw about there being 1800 protests today so I would say not all of them are 50501 related.

50501 is kind of a mess that is barely functioning it seems so the variance could just be from them not being super cohesive.

 

Basically title. I'm easing into my 1 year anniverary and wanting to come up with something that I can make and take to the in-laws since I don't want to put them out too much for my sake. They all eat omni and I don't expect them to cater to me. Last year I did tofurkey sausages and they were ok and they might be a fallback if I don't come up with something else. I was gonna get a Field Roast roast but it's $19 at Nat Grocers and yeah, I'm not spending that kind of money on something that only I am gonna eat.

I'd like it to be close to traditional but am open for alternative suggestions since, well, I love food. Right now I am thinking about doing vegan mashed potatoes since that is easy mode and I can scale it down to 1 or 2 helpings.

But other than that idk. Welcome to all ideas, so what you got?

Disclaimer: literally zero allergies or food aversions so I am open to anything. TIA.

Will check back after church crap...

 

I just realized that ebook collectiong has become something of a hobby for me. I think I like that lol. I am currently sifting through saved browser tabs of book recommendations that I have amassed over the last month in an attempt to clean up my browser sessions.

I've even developed a system of sending all tabs to my computer from my phone to create a list to check with libgen, then add to Calibre and sideload to my ereader from there. I hadn't really thought of it as a hobby since reading is a hobby but I think this might be close to data hording?

I also have 90 GB of roms that I have collected that cover all eras up to N64. Do I play any of them? No, but I got them. I did start playing Mario RPG and Earthbound during Indigenous Genocide Day.

So what are your weird but interesting hobbies that have snuck into your lives?

 

Here's the recipe:

Ingredients

  • l lb LightLife breakfast sausage
  • 1 medium onion, diced(or mirepoix)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 to 3 tsp Italian seasoning
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 3-4 cups veggie broth
  • 2-3 tbsp miso paste
  • appox 2.5 lb potatoes, diced into small cubes
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups Next Milk
  • 1 tbsp flour

Instructions

  • Saute the veggies in oil until soft. Add salt and pepper. Add sausage shortly after starting saute. Add garlic and cook 2 more minutes, or until fragrant.
  • Mix miso paste in 1 cup of milk
  • Add milk, broth, seasoning and potatoes. bring to a boil and then simmer for 30 to 60 minutes until potatoes are soft. Mash with a masher a bit.
  • Mix rest of milk and flour. Add to soup, bring back to a boil, then remove from heat and let thicken.

I've been meaning to make it again since I've only made it once since becoming a plant-mouth. The last time was ok but I tend to obsess over perfecting recipes and after going vegan I've been wanting to port a few of my standbys over. My chili recipe is perfection but I felt my potato soup was still lacking.

A few weeks ago I promised my oldest I would make it for him. And I wanted to test out a brainfart I had for using miso to add some much needed umami since my old recipe used a can of condensed cream of chicken soup that basically carried the entire recipe. Turns out the miso was a great idea.

My kid is a standard picky eater kid and will usually only eat enough to qualify as a meal(we were all kids once and he just wants to get back to playing. I get it lol) but he has 2 servings.

A friend was over as well for a Dungeons and Dragons session and she is a fellow ND but has quite a few food aversions so I made sure to run the ingredients by her and check our food cheat sheet and it was all good. I did check last minute if the fake sausage was ok since she is Jewish and she said yep. She loved it. Wife loved it. Kid loved it and I am pissed because there isn't enough leftover for me to have it for lunch.

I'll try to share my chili recipe when I make it next as well. It's fucking good too.

 

Has /r/socialism_101 been compromised? I have noticed over the last 2 or so months some incredible takes in the comments and this thread is even locked.

I usually don't really care but this kind of thought is on par with libs that use "utopian" when talking about Marxism. Just so confidently wrong. I'm not even that well read yet on theory but, Jesus, this set off my lib radar bad.

I'm in the market for something different but, to no surprise of anyone, am getting overwhelmed by how blatantly consumerist fidget toys have become.

About a year ago, I picked up a cheap magnetic clicky slider fidget and though I wasn't a big fan of the actual toy, I did fall I love with concept. I ended up getting a few more from Etsy that are 3D printed and one is micarta, but those are amazing. Big tactile clicks, loud as fuck, and just a good thing to carry for anxiety and social stuff. My main one can be quiet if need be so that helps.

But...

I'm in the process of purchase therapy because depression, and instead of buying another game I won't ever play, I thought I'd treat myself to something that helps with keeping my hands busy.

So I am mostly looking for opinions and feedback on stuff that is out there. I have a spinner, several fidget cubes, putty, and some of the other normal ones. Right now I am looking at possibly a haptic coin, one of those 3D printed gyro things, the Lautie knockoff ratchet ring(though it's even outside my price range even for it being a clone) and I keep coming back to FidgetsByAmelie on Etsy but it's partially due to the cute colors they use and using bio plastics.

So yeah, I guess that's it. TIA!

Things I think I like:

  • rubber clicky buttons on fidget cube.
  • clicky scroll ball
  • clicky spinning wheel
  • switch
  • magnetic click/loud feedback
  • knife flipping to some degree
  • hair/beard rubbing(but that is built in)
  • metal "shink" noise from that OWL knockoff slider
  • probably any of the infinity style fidgets? Like cube or gear stuff
 

No for real, I'm bored. Ask me stuff lol.

I'm trying to not lose my mind debugging this stupid Android app. I'm jobless and don't know what I'm doing with my life.

Recently got diagnosed with ASD at 40. I'm severely depressed and suicidal. I listen to shitty music, read theory and pretend I understand it, oh and I'm super hungover because I suffer from alcoholism. I'm an open book so please don't doxx me <3.
