the new york times has such a great series of elevated butter noodles, if you ever want a super fast easy dinner that still feels grown up and you can emulsify pasta water + butter together basically the sky is your limit

ya got

gochujang butter noodles

peanut butter noodles

chili crisp fettuccine alfredo

miso butter noodles

any one of these + a bag of salad or whatever vegetable side you find easiest/cheapest, and you've got yourself a full meal that tastes far above the effort you put in.

[overlyemotionalbreakfastcereal]

so i just made the peanut butter noodles and they are VERY simple and VERY tasty

i added extra parmesan because i like cheese and topped with some chili oil and green onion

took less than 20 minutes!

Please forgive me for ranting, but...I am so tired of AI. Just so tired. I don't want Microsoft Copilot, or Google Gemini, or Meta AI, or whatever other energy-sucking, water-wasting, mediocrity-spewing LLM is currently being thrust upon me. I just want to be left alone to create in peace.

if youre not in school anymore and are looking for ways to get out of the house more go to the nearest "hip" coffee shop you can that has a bulletin board with flyers on it for local events and attend any and all the ones youre able to ESPECIALLY if they're free. this is the only actionable advice that has worked for me

[parkayquarts]

lots of very good suggestions for other places to find community events in the notes, including but not limited to:

libraries, parks, rec centers, and other public amenities

craft/game/hobby specialty stores or event spaces

bars or similar venues

I know I said "if you're not in school anymore" cause that's me right now, but if a college/uni campus doesn't have security requiring a student ID to get in, nothing is stopping you from just Hanging Out on the campus even if you're not a student there lol. I do it all the time and there are flyers abound

literally just on a wall or telephone pole outside

if the only coffee shop around is starbucks, ime even Some starbucks locations have these kind of bulletin boards in them (not the drive thru ones obv). and no, you don't have to order anything from the starbucks

instagram and facebook too unfortunately. i know i know i hate them too

also I know that it can be kind of scary or awkward to attend any events you find by yourself. thats ok though. nobody is going to hate you or think you're weird if you don't bring a plus one. go my scarab

Breaking my hiatus to bring everyone’s attention to the fact that Cornwall is now attempting to be officially recognised as a nation within the United Kingdom.

Kernow has its own language, culture, history and identity. The language was forcibly removed by the English until the last monolingual speaker died in 1777–her name was Dolly Pentreath. It has existed as a kingdom before England had ever existed. Historically, Cornwall has been a place exploited for minerals and resources and labour. Currently, it still is. There are now ghost towns where once thriving fishing villages stood (Mousehole, Pentreath’s home, was one of these). Cornwall is now a playground for second home owners who drive up house and rent prices and drive out permanent residents and workers. Local businesses go out of business and struggle to stay afloat when the influx of tourists come who only purchase from supermarkets, putting nothing into the local economy. There is a long, long and often very gruesome and bloody history behind this—leaders of rebellions executed all the way into 1715.

If you are in the UK, and sign the petition to get this to a debate in Parliament.

Can you spare 60 seconds to sign

[mycological-mariner-deactivated]

Someone brought up water for damn good reason. I don’t think anyone really understands. Cornwall literally has no choice other than SouthWest Water for water supply, a basic human right which should be nationalised anyways. But how many people are aware that SW Water use Cornwall to dump massive amounts of sewage into the sea?

Data shows South West Water discharges sewage 1,000 times in three days

A number of popular tourist beaches in Cornwall are deemed to have poor water quality

And we’re all aware that when the government announced its budget, it conveniently didn’t mention Cornwall once. It in fact avoided the South West. But absolutely no funding gets to Kernow.

Cornwall is 'worse off' under the Labour government

Cornwall Council's deputy leader slammed the Chancellor as the authority sets its budget and 4.99 per cent council tax increase for the year

And we all also know that Cornwall is the 2nd poorest region in Northern Europe, correct?

And it has remained this way for a very long time.

Between the lack of British government funding, celebrities buying multi million pound mansions in Cornwall and leaving them empty 3/4 of the year, all the seasonal workers who companies hire from other counties to work during the tourist season, it should be obvious why Kernow should want some self-governance. It’s been fucked for centuries, a play pen for rich people, a novelty with their silly little language and silly little traditions, just look how quaint. Meanwhile the actual Cornish people swim in their shit and pay for their second homes while being driven out of theirs.

Fuck that. Fuck Reform UK. Fuck Labour. KERNOW BYS VYKEN

[useless-catalanfacts]

Those of us not in the UK, we can reblog to make this reach UK residents who can sign.

Tot el nostre suport als germans de Cornualla. All our support to our siblings from Kernow.

Fun facts! Cornish is the closest living relative to Welsh, linguistically speaking - the revival has a fascinating history, and at the start they used Welsh and Breton to help 'fill in the gaps' to work out what orthography and pronunciations they'd lost (though by now a new and fully Cornish orthography has been developed). I know a few Cornish speakers now, and although the two languages aren't quite mutually intelligible, they come very close. Reading and hearing it always makes me feel like I'm having a stroke lol, so similar and yet not quite close enough...

Crucially, no Cornish person I've ever met considers themselves English. And, every time I have ever been to Cornwall, I've been met with delight when I've said I'm Welsh. One pub we went in even had Welsh rugby memorabilia on the walls, because they support Wales over England. There's a real cousins vibe, and a definite Celtic-not-English identity

Anyway, good for them. Please sign if you can, share if you can't

Every time you have GenAI make you an anime waifu with three titties and a dumptruck ass a family doesn't get to have a drink or bathe.

Every time you ask Copilot to write you a PowerShell script to stroke your boss' ego, a city experiences a brownout.

Every time you chat with your AI "girlfriend" a farmer doesn't get to water their animals.

Using these tools actively hurts you and your community, while at the same time enriching some shitheel who would happily step on your neck to make an additional dollar. Don't use them. Actively remove them from devices you own. Disable them whenever possible. Go out of your way to avoid them. It's honestly not hard. You've been using the internet just fine without GenAI hallucinating at you.

I know I sound like your mom but you kids need to stop fucking vaping

[joshgrobanscock]

1) Vaping is confirmed to cause cancer. Vaping coats the lungs with toxic substances, such as heavy metals and benzene, which are known to cause cancer

2) Many vapes contain diacetyl, which, when inhaled causes popcorn lung, or scarring of the lung

3) Ultrafine particles, when being inhaled, can be lodged in the trachea (not good!)

4) Ultrafine particles can also constrict the arteries in the lungs potentially causing A HEART ATTACK

5) Vaping is relatively new. Not much studies have been done in comparison to tobacco. Plus, the vaping companies are powerful people. There is a large chance that they are purposely downplaying and even burying any evidence that vaping is harmful - just like the tobacco companies before them. They do not care about you, or your health, or the truth. They only care for money

[letsoulswander]

Also STOP VAPING INDOORS AROUND OTHER PEOPLE. Holy shit, if you're gonna wreck your lungs at least give me the option not to wreck mine.

[cephalopodvictorious]

It’s such an issue that the MTA had to run a campaign about it

[yeahokayillreblogthat]

yeah okay ill reblog that

[stripedroseandsketchpads]

Please I’m begging yall as an asthmatic, your fruit-flavored vapor will still give people around you who are smoke-sensitive attacks. So will weed. Don’t do it inside; if you’re at a bus stop or something try to not stand right next to people or move downwind of them if you can.

[robotpussy]

i will never be against piracy ever but i also need physical media to remain

[robotpussy]

the average blockbuster carried about 3x as many films than that that are streaming on Netflix or any other streaming service, physical media along with piracy is more important than ever.

[rottenbrainstuff]

I thought this wasn’t true, because how could it be true? How could one small store have more movies than an online database? So I googled it.

I am surprised and depressed to learn it’s 100% true, according to google. A Blockbuster store was required to have a minimum of 7000 titles, but most averaged about 10,000. Netflix has 4000 movies. (And 1800 tv shows if you want to count those, but even included, it’s still less)

Now I’m even more depressed about the collapse of physical rental stores.

[siphersaysstuff]

BONUS: They weren't beholden to Who Owns What IP Right Now. They got videos from everyone. You didn't have to pay separately for the rights to rent from the Disney Shelves and the WB Shelves and bler bler bler, and they only STOPPED having those movies when the tapes broke or someone never returned 'em.

[pepperoni-oni]

friendly reminder that your local library will have lots of physical media and if they don't have what you're looking for you can most likely ask them to purchase it or order it from another library through interlibrary loan

[bogappreciation]

Shoutout to Scarecrow Video- they have over 148,000 titles, most of which you can rent by mail. Rentals have been down in the last few years so they're asking for support!

[letteredlettered]

boosting this for Scarecrow Video. It's also now a non-profit.
