stretches and flicks my tail around beastfully. the dragon’s eternal hunger is sated temporarily with butter chicken
I have been satisfied with a gyro wrap. All of you are safe for just a little bit longer
oooh yum
i had crab cakes. the adventurers live another day
A reminder that sell-buy dates or best-used-by dates are not the same as expiration dates.
I love that a food bank is providing this info as they are experts in stretching food budgets and knowledgable in shelf-stable food items
So I followed the link to the website and found the longer list.
The website puts a link to the USDA site which links to foodsafety dot gov who really wants you to use the app, but you can bypass it.
Also a link to the Canadian government's advisory on best-before dates.
Both sites have links to pages that get more into food storage.
I planted ten little pawpaw trees today
Pawpaws are a Michigan native fruit that looks like it should not be a Michigan native fruit.
I'm told that it has the consistency of avocado, but tastes like a combination of banana, pineapple, and mango, with and earthy aftertaste. They are EXTREMELY delicate fruits, such that they are not really shipped anywhere- to eat them you have to find someplace local that has trees, or have trees, yourself.
I've always wanted to try them, so, I bought a few saplings, and spent a couple hours tonight planting them. They won't fruit for another 5 years at least. Each hole dug, each rootball excavated from its pot, each circle of mulch around the base of them... that's hope. That's a promise to be here 5 years from now, to see them flower, to pull sweet fruit from the limbs and try it for the first time.
A lot can happen in 5 years. But, I hope that you'll be here, too, to see how it turns out.
I confess I'd only ever heard of the paw-paw fruit from "The Bare Necessities" in Disney's "The Jungle Book" so had always thought it was native to somewhere in or around India... UNTIL NOW!
Now when you pick a paw-paw or a prickly pear And you prick a raw paw, well, next time beware Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw When you pick a pear try to use the claw But you don't need to use the claw When you pick a pear of the big paw-paw
You mean Baloo was either lying, or eating imported fruit?
Is NOTHING sacred?!?
Welllllll it's more likely he means pawpaw/papaw as in papaya (as pawpaw is another name for papaya), but it does get a bit confusing, since prickly pears are also only native to the Americas, particularly Mexico and South America, just like papaya
BUT they've both been in India for centuries, so it's entirely possible they are out there growing wild as invasive species.
Where did you buy the saplings from?
i do really have shooting oneself in the foot autism when it comes to computers. My refusal to ever update my mac has at this point required me to use an entirely different computer if i want to have voice calls in discord. when it initially happened i was like Ok this is the last straw i'm switching to linux but my friend who was testing it for me couldn't quite get photoshop cs4 to work properly so i just didn't get around to it and made do with the duct tape solution (using a different computer for voice calls.) if i want to play a steam game i have to launch it from my files because steam doesn't launch games anymore. & yes i will continue to live like this. i'm dedicated.
if anyone out there figures out how to make wacom tablet pen pressure work with wine i will personally draw their fursona. Like that is my most major roadblock. There are many other roadblocks mind you but being able to work in photoshop cs4 (or cs6 if i MUST) is the hard requirement
I watched some videos by that guy who set up a fake ICE hotline to get people to snitch on members of their community. Not only is this very real and useful praxis- he's preventing these ghouls from reaching the real ICE- he also handles the calls in a really amazing way.
For the most part, he doesn't make accusations or insults people, he just repeats back the appalling shit they're telling him. And they get fucking furious. The example that went viral was him fielding a call from a kindergarten teacher who wanted to report one of her student's parents.
This absolutely disgusting piece of shit thought that the parents were "illegals" who were "taking up resources" because they weren't born in the US. The child was a US citizen because he was born here, but she wanted the "ICE" agent to "look into it."
So this dude just starts repeating stuff back like "so you want me to load the parents of the 5-year-old child you teach into a van and deport them, right?" and this bitch has the gall to say "you make it sound terrible 😅" in a self-conscious way. And then when he finally makes a more direct insult by nonchalantly saying that the 5-year-old "must be a major threat to national security," she demands to speak to his supervisor (which he agrees to and then makes no effort to change his voice for lmao).
This is far from the only call where the whole "repeat their rhetoric back to them" tactic pisses the caller off, too. As rotten, immoral, and disgusting as these ghouls are, I believe there's a tiny part of them that is aware of how fucked up their beliefs and behavior are. Being forced to confront that leads to painful cognitive dissonance and they'd rather lash out at the person who criticized them than look inward and do some self-reflection. Forcing people to confront their own cognitive dissonance of "I'm a good person" clashing with "I have objectively gross and harmful beliefs" is useful, even if it will never go anywhere.
A whole lot of military films will be coming out soon. You'll see older ones showing up on streaming service and new ones soon to follow. Sure, a few are, in fact, very good movies. But here's the caution:
Any film featuring the US military is paid for by the US military. They have the final word on what comes out. These films are recruitment tools. Same applies to TV shows, and doubtless many will soon be showing up.
Do not be fooled by these films and shows. They are designed to bring in new recruits. When these are released, there is a surge in new people enlisting in the military. These recruits swiftly discover they were fed bullshit, but now they're stuck due to a contract. Going AWOL, away without leave, is desertion. You will be caught and put on trial for desertion, and they are not light with the sentencing.
Please, for the love of fuck, do not enlist with the military. You are cannon fodder. They do not care about you.
Recruiters are told to lie. To do whatever it fucking takes to enlist new people. Do not fucking fall for it.
These films and shows are recruitment tools paid for by the military. It's why they're so big, glamorous, and quickly made. Enjoy what you see, but don't sign up. It's a fucking lie.
Hey I hope this goes without saying, especially now that Affirmative Action is being killed off, but stop filling out the "optional" self identifiers on job applications. Either leave it blank if you can or if you can't put decline to self identify. ESPECIALLY of they ask your sexual orientation.
Cishet peoples' feelings is collateral damage at best
Buddy if "let allies attend and participate in pride" reads to you as "what if excluding them makes them feel bad :(" and not "Shit Is So Fucking Hard Right Now, We Are Going To Flood The Streets In So Much Unity And Love That Fuckers Think Twice Before Screwing With Any Of Us" then I'm not sure what to tell you
