Sauce :

2 Tbsp soy sauce 1 Tbsp dark soy sauce 1 Tbsp shaoxing wine 1 Tbsp sesame oil 1 inch grated ginger 1 minced garlic clove 1/2 Tbsp sugar

you're welcome.

Bonus tip : you can add an egg (or more) to make hard boiled eggs at the same time (to eat now or later)

Bonus tip #2 : you can cook half rice, half quinoa/small green lentils (takes the same time)

Are YOU gonna let THE GOVERNMENT tell YOU what YOUR GENDER is? That doesn't sound like Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness to me! PROTECT your individual FREEDOMS and call your senator: we want the GOVERNMENT to stay OUT OF OUR PANTS! GENDER FREEDOM NOW!

[libraford]

Two men in your neighborhood are married... to EACH OTHER? Congratulate them for exercising their AMERICAN RIGHT to follow the footsteps of our FOUNDING FATHERS! They've got a fully AMERICAN spirit of FREEDOM and REBELLION! GOD BLESS THE USA.

[libraford]

Your coworker has a different RELIGION from yours? Well, that's just INTERESTING and you should talk about it on your UNION-APPROVED LUNCH BREAK. The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA was FOUNDED on Freedom of Religion and ANYONE should be allowed to seek the AMERICAN DREAM!

[libraford]

You think someone might be in this GREAT country ILLEGALLY? NO YOU DON'T! No one is in this country illegally! The minute anyone steps on our SOVEREIGN SOIL they're your FELLOW AMERICAN and where they come from is NO ONES BUSINESS.

it's funny yeah, but guys this is actually how you reach the people who prefer these terms to frame all things Good and Correct.

This... Isn't as manipulatory and "assuming the opposition is stupid and has no real principles and can be trivially influenced" as some forms of this that I've seen, but... it's still got major problems. You haven't addressed contradictions between the left-wing cultural politics advanced here and aggressively individualistic libertarian American politics.

Sure, this is framing, but the actual principles matter a lot and people can tell when framing is being manipulated pretty easily.

First: the *fundamental* problem with the whole Gender Conflict is that (unlike gay marriage) a lot of it (especially lately) has been really *counter-individualist* and has involved pressure for people to accept the trans / left wing way of looking at it. They're often in favor of government restrictions, but they don't see the fundamental issue as being handed down from the government at all.

Second: theres a few different reasons for people to oppose unlimited immigration. Some of them are just racist, some of them are economic (and won't be supported by the libertarian types who are the implied target of this post), some of them are more pragmatic, but when you get to the level of open borders / presumptive citizenship for anybody physically present, then one of the big concerns for immigration is just going to be *paradox of tolerance*, or more generally the question of whether people who immigrate care about this kind of freedom or want to maintain it.

Third: obviously this post isn't aimed at them, but a lot of Americans very much believe in a form of freedom that isn't as individualist and libertarian as presented here or where society is ordered within a certain range.

Fourth: this is legitimately in tension with nondiscrimination law.

Fifth: OP, you had better not be hostile to / weird about women who voluntarily choose to be tradwives.

What

The fuck

Do ya think

Freedom

Means

EARL?

Did you actually read my post?

Or was this all only ever vibes and browbeating people into submission?

[libraford]

I did read your post but its been a long day of hauling dogshit in the rain and mostly it just sounds like youre making a lot of assumptions about the kind of person that I am so ... sounds kinds like a you problem.

[thathopeyetlives]

I don't really know anything about the kind of person that you are other than that you're the kind of person who would write the OP.

Definitely I have a polar opposite ideology to you in many regards.

Fundamentally, I'm addressing the issues in the OP, which doesn't effectively engage with the contradictions.

[libraford]

Listen brother/sister/themster- if we all had to agree with each other 100% of the time this wouldn't be a free country. So im not gonna try to change your mind. You came here to debate and I ain't giving that to you because thats a freedom I have. So I hope you have a good time selling this to a more receptive audience.

tl;dr: all "algorithmically" pushed stuff on a newsfeed is mostly ads. nothing that's really surprising form this vulture article, but it is dismal and makes me grateful for one website where you only see things from people you follow WITHOUT horrible short-form video content

The Feed Is Fake

What if every viral song, movie, meme, influencer, and celebrity drama in recent memory was the result of a stealth marketing campaign?

And this is why I left the marketing industry threeish years ago. I was tired of just feeding algorithms. I don't give a shit about SEO and feeds and shit. I want to reach actual PEOPLE with my work.
