Schrodinger’s nostalgia - life was worse and better depending on the current goals of the speaker.

Or it’s people trying to muddy the water to both-sides something. I’ve been noticing an uptick of posts from the far-right crowd creeping out of the woodwork recently, and they’re all up in arms about people saying US Conservatives are intolerant.

Being told not to be an asshole to others isn’t intolerance. It is the intolerance of intolerance - which is a necessary part of a tolerant society.

See: The Paradox of Intolerance (which the far right nuts call the new Mein Kamp. Gross).

There is more interaction, but also a lot more crazy far-right assholes the past few weeks at least (in my experience).

Tofu is a pain. Try heating the pan significantly before adding oil, and then toss the food in on top of the oil shortly after.

Alternatively, scallions in oil help to make a non stick coating. Or a lecithin-containing spray oil. The lecithin helps prevent sticking way more than the oil itself does.

Or tell your pan to shut up, and either deep fry or air fry it.

Let me help!

• 1 block tempeh, sliced down the middle long ways, and then clicked into little rectangle slices. Pan fry in a little oil of you choice.

Combine for sauce (put in a bowl and toss the tempeh in it after - cooked peanut butter isn’t great, imo):

• 1 part soy sauce or tamari
• 1 part lime juice
• 1 part sriracha
• 1 part brown sugar
• 2 parts peanut butter

Get back to me. This is one of my absolute favorites!

Tofu is fine, but tempeh is almost as widely available in supermarkets, has a higher protein density, is fermented, and works in soooo many things. It’s also way easier to get the hang of marinating and cooking.

I mention this only because I love it so much, and I’d love for people that shit on vegan food to give that a go (lightly pan fried, and then tossed in a gooey before sriracha-soy-peanut-butter-lime-brown-sugar sauce) and get back to me. I could eat it every night and never get tired of it.

If you can help it - sign up for nothing with a direct bank withdrawal or debit card. Use a credit card, because it puts an important barrier between you and your purchases. It’s way easier to get help with stuff for credit cards, and it’s easier to cancel than getting a new bank account. Bonus: charge backs punish these assholes.

They’ll still go to the doctor. They’ll just bitch and moan more and take up more time.

Oh shit, it’s almost like a lot of other vaccines, like the flu vaccine. You’ve uncovered a big government secret! The Immuminati will be by to give you a gold star tonight.

This is me at my guitar lesson. I promise I’m trash, but I’m not the level of trash I seem to be when my teacher is watching.

I would put money toward that. I had RIF for years, and would love something to make Lemmy feel a little more familiar.

Quit pussyfooting around.

That just means not to have PIV sex. No biggy - gay men have a tendency to avoid that.

I had this exact thought. It was time to shorten, and make it less weird.

What do you have? Maybe I’ll make it two.

Or that he modded the jailbait subreddit.

So, I’m not sure why I would switch instances (I’m very new). Do I need new account on that instance then? I’ve heard about different front pages or something. I’m still confused.

I downloaded Connect on your recommendation though. Thanks!
