this is my entire stance on the "american food is bad" discourse summed up

[thebeatleshermajestydotmp3]

Listen man, its a work week, you just got done your shift at the dollar store, youre in a rural area and the local waffle house is a 35 minute drive away and driving from the waffle house back home will be another 45 minutes, so what youre gonna do is youre gonna pick these four bad boys up from the dry goods aisle, drive home, cook some Carolina long grain rice with a little bouillon cube stirred into the cooking water, and in a separate skillet, youre gonna add a tsp of veggie oil or if youre lucky some butter and cook down some of that garlic. Then add a little extra oil and if you have spinach or any hearty greens, youre gonna throw them in your skillet with some salt and cook them down, if not thats okay. But youre also gonna transfer your rice from the pot into the skillet with your garlic (and veggies if youre lucky) and stirfry that rice for a minute or so. The bouillon cube didnt quite season your rice to your liking, so youre gonna throw a little extra pinch of salt. Perfect. Then youre gonna turn off the flame and add parmesan to taste. You take a look in your fridge and you see that you have a little parsley left from the last time you were able to clock out early enough to stop in at the local Food Lion and its still in good condition. Youre gonna wash that parsley, dry it, give it a quick chop, and finish your fake risotto with it and a couple splashes of lemon juice.

You have some rice left over so you know whats for dinner tomorrow night and you can sleep soundly. Country girls make fucking do.

My ex was one of these "no jarred garlic" snobs who had to make everything from scratch and sneered at my use of shortcuts. He also couldn't make mac and cheese without starting from a roux and using every fucking pot in the kitchen, all of which were super heavy and couldn't be washed in the dishwasher.

The kicker is that I'm chronically ill and have joint problems. I used the shortcuts because preparing everything from scratch, like, say, peeling and mashing garlic, is tiring and ex's super-heavy pots were hard to wash (I couldn't hold them in one hand and wash with the other) because of my joint problems. You're not just hating on poor and busy people when you hate on cooking shortcuts, you're hating on disabled folks too.

Anyway. Potentially rent lowering shot, but I'm pro piracy for everything, including books.

Yes, libraries are great, but not everyone has access to one. And to get a library card you need a permanent address typically

So. Y'know. If you're homeless and can't get to a physical library, piracy is your most viable option

The reality is there's gonna be someone, somewhere who wants to read a book and piracy will be their only option. So, book piracy being available is good, actually.

You can’t Abstain your way to a Better World.

The Burger still gets made, even if you go Vegan. If you don’t buy it, it just winds up in the trash. If you want to do something meaningful about waste, you need legislation: It must become a crime to waste food in those ways.

If you care about Animal Cruelty in Factory Farms, you need to get legislation passed. It must become a crime to mistreat animals in those ways, and when malfeasances occurs, the onus of responsibility for those crimes must fall upon wealthy shoulders. That, also, requires legislation. It requires regulations, and regulators.

The largest source of Microplastics is wear and tear on automobile tires. It doesn’t matter what brand of shampoo you buy. It doesn’t matter which company you support with your dollar. The issue of Public Transit is too large-scale to be handled at anything less than the municipal level.

It’s not enough to just not participate in society

If you want the world to Change, you must leverage the mechanisms of political power.

You need Government.

People on twitter are acting like Artfight is more about getting free art from big artists you like by attacking them and less about appreciating original characters (which have been relentlessly bullied by almost every community for years now) and its getting annoying so heres your reminder that you should be drawing oc designs you like and nobody is obligated to attack you or at all

Stop using the word degenerate to mean horny challenge

[rubynyoro-n]

When you say "degenerate art" do you know what you're fucking invoking

[rubynyoro-n]

Some random guy in the "degenerate art exhibition" in Germany in 1937 idk it's probably not important

I’m really glad to see people are actually discovering who Max Nordau was now. You can read a copy of Degeneration online here https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/51161/pg51161-images.html

It is a horrific book which is responsible for so much bloodshed and misery but just know that every time you use the term ‘degenerate’ or ‘degeneracy’ to refer to a person or thing you don’t like you’re continuing the legacy of Max Nordau and engaging in fascist rhetoric. It is a word which has no place in the modern lexicon especially as a joke

Degeneration

The children's show villain is a figure who sadly is not seen outside the children's show. There are few stock characters who as succinctly declare, from sheer stage presence, "the world is unloveable and it is painful to live here; that which delights mankind is like ash on my tongue" without being too fucking whiny about it.
