I try to make everything from scratch, but sometimes I make pre made when I know I’m avoiding eating because I don’t feel like cooking. If I make pre made though, I’ll always add something to it to bulk it out. Ramen? Handfuls of frozen veg. Frozen pizza? Slap mushrooms, peppers, onions on top. Pasta sauce? Spinach, homemade stock, and carrots.

To me, its about health. I know processed food isn’t healthy, so I want to mitigate the damage.

Hahaha I did the same thing

I just thought it was a more lighthearted deep dive than the ones I usually post. It’s pretty cool to see the different techniques this guy went through to identify alt accounts and how seriously discord nation state LARPers take their community

It gets worse. There’s a population of natives trapped on the island in legal limbo, living in awful conditions in the name of “national security”.

I generally agree with the article, but think you have a point when you say that it’s hard to argue for self defense for a premeditated action. However, I don’t think that the author was trying to make the point that self defense law was failing women, but more trying to illustrate that “self defense” as a legal concept is a bit flawed.

Unfortunately, DV laws in the US kind of suck and that doesn’t seem to be changing anytime soon. I read an article not too long ago about how even when women try to use DV resources and go to the police, they can often face legal repercussions for failing to protect their children from the abuse. All around horrific situation that I wouldn’t wish on anyone

The “gay panic” defense is still valid in most states. Truly tragic

I appreciate a lighthearted longread!

That’s a good point about the delicacy. I didn’t think that maybe it’s a status thing

I appreciated how the author took the time to learn about and appreciate their culture beyond just the cannibalism thing

Yeah the way the author points out the connection between their destruction myth and the realities of what’s going to happen to their culture was really poignant

I’m obviously not an expert but I thought prion diseases took a long time to develop. Maybe prion diseases just aren’t a concern cos their lifespans are already so short to begin with. I’d think bloodborne diseases would probably be more of a concern

I could see someone saying “well I don’t really agree with Trump’s extremism but at least Trump supporters haven’t tried to kill Biden so maybe the left is the problem”. It’s not as easy to wave his fearmongering ravings about the left off as conspiracy theories–someone on the left (I assume) actually tried to kill him. He’s a martyr now.

I really truly want to hope that you’re right but damn if this doesn’t make me super pessimistic about Biden’s already shaky support.
