My slavic blood might be showing, but I consume plenty of root veggies. Carrots, potatoes, beets, parsnips, kohlrabis, what have you. Also cabbage. All these are usually dirt cheap too.

I can share one pseudo-recipe, for carrots. A super easy but very comfy side meal: cube the carrots, put in some (not too much) water with salt, cook for like 15-20min. Throw in green peas (frozen or canned), then add some potato starch (preferably by premixing it with water before adding it to the cooking pot so it doesn’t clump). Stir vigorously to make sure the water gets a nice creamy consitency. You can add herbs like marjory too. Very tasty, sweet side for savory dishes.

Tempeh is great but kinda expensive where I live so I only buy it occasionally. But I love it otherwise, could eat a whole slab “raw” (as far as a fermented food can be raw)

Well, when you put it like that, I expect him to join the Israeli death squads “out of pragmatism”

They absolutely did and I hate anybody who says that abrasive activism doesn’t work

Kind of a silly one, but for me it was some reddit meme thread. It was a joke about arch linux, and a person jokes “if somebody uses arch and is vegan, which will they say first?” and then somebody mentioned that “I’m vegan btw” is a common joke on r/vegancirclejerk. I went to that subreddit and started reading, it was hilarious, but I also felt my cognitive dissonance grow with every post. Took me like a week or two and I decided that I am a fucking hypocrite and need to make a change, because what I am participating in is seriously wrong and I can’t continue like this.

I asked my partner if she would be cool if we tried out veganism, and turns out she has also been thinking about it lately, due to a vegan coworker that inspired her. So we then went vegan at the same time and it’s been almost 4 years of that now.

Also similarly to hamid, all the vegan marketing felt super off to us which made us do the additional plunge into WFPB with none of the weird substitutes.

200GB of a text log file IS weird. It’s one thing if you had a core dump or other huge info dump, which, granted, shouldn’t be generated on their own, but at least they have a reason for being big. 200GB of plain text logs is just silly

Autumn is starting where I live. It sucks, my least favorite part of the year. Late summer is cool though

Literally me but with gardening

8601 is the only ISO standard I can truthfully put on my CV

I really liked deez nutz

Thank you :)

I have had quite okay experiences with making cashew mozzarella. I tried different recipes from different sites and they generally work about as well. Here is an example: https://www.noracooks.com/easy-stretchy-vegan-mozzarella-cheese/ But make sure to do it in advance, it needs to spend a few hours in the fridge or freezer before you put it on a pizza. I usually make it the day before and put it in the freezer, then just grate it when I need it. I also make bigger batches so I can use it for a long time.

I also put a lot of nooch (for taste) and a little turmeric (for color) in my cheese

Black in CMYK is not strictly necessary, you can absolutely make black out of CMY, but the separate ink gets added since black is such a regular occurence it’s simply cheaper to not mix it out of the other colors.

Yeah, I, for example, am a nobody with a degree

Read literally any leftist political theory, jesus christ. You’re annoying af

Thanks, but I finished school years ago, you should try that too

Liberalism is the philosophy of the capitalist status quo. It refers to the free flow of money and freedom from feudalism. Both the Republicans and Democrats are liberals. You tool.

read a book that isn’t Harry Potter

No, this was a regular (electric) oven set to 225C. We don’t use the wood oven too often because it takes ages to fire it up haha

This sounds absolutely wild in a very delicious way, this mix of all the different flavors must be bomb

I don’t know why people watch Cosmic Skeptic. When I want to see a video of a guy masturbating, I just go to pornhub, like God intended
