*goes to egg your house but I find out you're vegan so I ¼ cup of unsweetened applesauce your house instead*
Okay I hear you, but that's not going to work. As always, when you're thinking of vegan egg substitutes, it's important to think about the purpose of the egg in your recipe.
Eggs are used in this recipe because they smell gross and don't come off easily (due to their tendency to harden/cook in the sun). This is not a situation for applesauce, which will come off in a light rain.
While unconventional, the substitute you're looking for here is sourdough starter. It's goopy, it'll smell atrocious in the hot sun, and it'll harden onto the walls like cement. If you try to get it off with water, you'll end up with a sticky dough.
Just make sure to respectfully ask your target if they have a gluten allergy before doing this - wouldn't want to trade one evil for another.
This has beautiful synergy with "let me get this bitch's pronouns before I curse them out" in the game of hate

Bonus info if you've never baked:
You put the yeast in the water and wait to "proof" it, aka, prove you didn't kill the yeast. If it doesn't have a strong bready smell, and look all bubbly, the yeast failed, do it again.
"warm" water means a little above body temperature.
If sugar is a luxury for you or you're worried about the yeast failing, don't mix it in until after the yeast is proofed.
Yeast in little packets is expensive. Yeast is larger containers is not. If you keep moisture out of it, it lasts an age (literally. they have made bread from yeast that is millenia old). You can keep most of it in the back of your fridge and a smaller amount in a container.
Oil vs butter makes a texture and flavor difference. Not all oils work the same. If you don't have vegetable, canola, or olive oil, check first.
If you can buy bread flour, or any flour that has higher protein, it works a little better. That is not the weird keto high protein stuff. fwiw, the standard flour at costco has a higher protein content, and its what I use.
Whole wheat flour is not a one-to-one swap. Look up what needs to change.
This recipe is not going to be mix in friendly. Don't get fancy yet.
Mixing the dough is easiest if you have a large bowl and a flexible spatula. Run the spatula or spoon around the edge, then in, until it's no longer got obvious dry bits. Don't jump to kneading yet.
If its goopy, add small amounts of flour and mix. If it isn't coming together, add very small amounts of warm water and mix. On a recipe with 6c flour, if I needed to add more than a 1/4c of flour, or an 1/8 of water, would throw a flag that I made a serious mistake.
The dough should not be firm after mixing, but it also shouldn't stick to your hand and leave a mess.
Kneading means beating up the dough. Once the stirring has made it into a ball, you start to knead. If you don't have a stand mixer. Dust some flour on a clean flat surface. Dust some flour on your hands. Put the dough on there. Push the heel of your hands into it to sorta spread it out. Fold it back into a sorta ball, and push it around again.
Kneading builds gluten strands. As you knead, it will get more elastic, and will hold a shape better. You might need to dust more flour as you go, but it becomes a smooth ball.
Rising is when the yeast does it's job and creates air bubbles. If your house is over 75 or under 65, the rise time will be different. Keep an eye on it until you feel comfy. Trust the 'about double' or 'about one and a half' increase that a recipe mentions.
Overproofing(yes, same word as yeast, no, not part of that step) is when you let the dough rise too long. It gets too many air bubbles, and they're too big. This will NOT get you extra soft bread. It will collapse in the oven and make you sad. Set a timer.
An egg wash has several versions. Generally 1 egg, or 1 egg white, whisked with a bit of water and some salt. If you're flat broke, and don't have eggs, or if you don't eat eggs, mist the top of the loaf with water.
Finally:
Let the Bread Cool Down Before You Slice It
I know. Fresh bread smells delicious. But you gotta wait or it fucks up the moisture and gets doughy. You gotta use a serrated knife, or at least drag a standard knife. Do Not cut it like you're chopping. All that work to make it rise will be ruined.
Look, I get what you're saying, but sometimes you've gotta reach for the low-hanging fruit. Let's get you a proper meal, refill your meds, and unfuck your living space as best we're able; if after that you still want cute girls to kill you with axes, you'll be in a much better physical and mental place to pursue that goal.
Duo, we've talked about this
> looking at a new popular collectible
> ask the people if it's objects or gambling
> they don't understand
> pull out illustrated diagram explaining what is objects and what is gambling
> they laugh and say "it's a good collectible sir"
> look up how to buy a collectible
> its gambling
> #wait are labubu's blind bags?!
Labubus are blind bags but they're also blind bags with some of the most insane dark patterns stacked on top. The online store for them has a thing where they tell you what you got the second you order it online so that you can immediately try again if you didn't get the thing you wanted.
There's also a shake feature that is designed to encourage you to buy more than one by narrowing down the possibility space on a crate of options so that if you're hunting a specific model you can verify that it's guaranteed to be in one of these three IF you buy all three right now!!!!!
You can read more about what dark patterns are and how to spot them here.
The original website about deceptive patterns (also known as “dark patterns”) - tricks used in websites and apps that make you do things tha
That is a fucking awesome site everyone should visit. Don't skip the Hall of Shame.
I just thought of this post, which was actually how I learned what Dark Patterns are, because I tried to cancel my Adobe Acrobat subscription, and it took much longer than I anticipated because several times throughout the process it felt like it was intentionally trying to trick me into thinking I'd cancelled my subscription when I actually hadn't yet.
Please read up on Dark Patterns and learn how to recognize them.
KICK THE CAN!
Let’s play the biggest game of kick the can on the internet.
To kick the can, reblog it. I wanna see how long this can go on for.
the oldest reblogs for this post that i can find are from january 2nd of 2013. this can has been getting kicked around tumblr for almost 13½ years now
Apparently someone got their car stuck on the light rail tracks at Mt. Baker. For those unfamiliar this is 35 feet up in the air
First test flight of a flying car by Mazda partially a success
I feel like the Arizona license plate should take some place in our analysis of whatever in the goddam fuck we’re looking at here
Much like Springfield before it, Seattle is one of the few major cities in the world with a monorail. That, combined with a more conventional light rail system, makes Seattle the rare U.S. city with two different types of train for public transportation. On Tuesday night, the rail system briefly had a third: a Mazda CX-5.

Happened in Charlotte NC the day before the one in Seattle. That’s a Maserati.

[Description: a looping bouncy animation of grace and Rocky from project hail mary. Grace throws himself onto rocky for a hug, smiling and nuzzling his face to the top of Rocky's xenonite covered carapace. Rocky brings a claw up to ruffle Grace's hair and grace throws himself even more on top of rocky, rocky wrapping his arms around grace. End description.]
I felt bad accepting financial aid for my medication, but also, I DID NEED THE FINANCIAL AID. so maybe that’s alright.
and now I can finally get my immunosuppressants and pay zero dollars for them, so that’s good!
this is very good advice, boosting this so more people can see
I laughed so fucking hard at this

next time you’re at the thrift store and find a nice solid thick pile area rug for a shockingly good price and you’ve been looking for an area rug for the office forever and the color goes really nicely with the office color scheme and you think this is it, this is what i’ve been waiting for, stop, and ask yourself: did i take the bus here?
next time you’re on the bus and see someone with an area rug and a look of deep disappointment in themself mind your own business
alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.
we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)
please rb for larger sample size!
Question 1/3
What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?
under 18, AI is a net positive
under 18, AI is a net negative
18-29, AI is a net positive
18-29, AI is a net negative
30-45, AI is a net positive
30-45, AI is a net negative
46-60, AI is a net positive
46-60, AI is a net negative
over 60, AI is a net postive
over 60, AI is a net negative
Question 2/3
How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?
Frequently (multiple times per month)
Often (multiple times per year)
Occasionally (a couple times per year)
Rarely (once every couple of years)
Never :(
Question 3/3
If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?
under 18, more inclined
under 18, less inclined
18-29, more inclined
18-29, less inclined
30-45, more inclined
30-45, less inclined
46-60, more inclined
46-60, less inclined
over 60, more inclined
over 60, less inclined
Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

Legal Eagle asking "are you covered to have an open flame in the studio?" and a producer worriedly yelling "we're not!" as Ally goes to light a bong they filled with real whiskey is maybe the hardest I have ever laughed at an episode of Game Changer.
Ally doing something wild while a bunch of people off-camera audibly beg them not to is great
#they are a PARENT#actually I think that’s gonna make them act even wilder now#bottling up the batshit behaviour to be a good role model and then letting it all out in the studio
THEY'RE FUCKING WHAT??
Yea, as of August last year Ally's partner gave birth. Here's the photo at the hospital from Ally's instagram
This is such a funny photo.
#this could be a photo of anyone at anywhere
Hold up go back. Legal Eagle? Like. Devin Stone Legal Eagle?
Yes?
Lou wrote erotica about him.
I’m so tired of the “why do people hate aspecs, they aren’t doing anything?” argument. I know that it is an attempt to support us, but it fails so spectacularly to understand aromanticism, asexuality, and any other aspec identity that it’s actively frustrating.
We are doing something. We’re rejecting allonormative ideals and that’s a massive thing to do. We’re actively fighting not just to help other aspecs, but to help everyone, because amatonormativity (and allonormativity as a whole) hurt everyone. Single people who want to find a partner but can’t also deserve to be able to exist.
There are so many issues with the expectation of marriage, including:
A single income isn't enough to get by anymore
Having a spouse is almost necessary under the current medical system
Society shames and pressures people who are single to get into relationships constantly
Rejecting allonormativity means fighting against these things that hurt everyone.
So, no, aces and aros and other aspecs aren't "doing nothing." We're doing quite a lot.
