  Ever play as a level 1 adventurer in a tabletop game?

  Getting gored by a pig is just how the game goes sometimes.

  Tabasco always tasted like a white vinegar mixed with capsaicin.

  Exactly! Delicious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You better say "Thank You"!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  All kinds! Butter beans turn into chewy morsels, garbanzos become crunchy little nuts, and red/black beans become a little puffy.

  I’ll toss them with some oil and chili lime seasoning and eat them by hand, put them on a saucy burrito or veggie wrap, crunch them up into chili, there’s all sorts of ways to eat them!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You better say "Thank You"!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Trust me, you can fry all those things and get fat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You better say "Thank You"!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  In my experience your body gets used to high fiber content. It’s only when you don’t eat legumes regularly that they cause issues, now that I’m eating them several times a day there’s no issues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You better say "Thank You"!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I like to airfry beans and eat them as a crunchy snack.

  For breakfast specifically, oatmeal isn’t a bad choice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You better say "Thank You"!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Just eat something else holy shit.

  But wouldn’t it be better for them if we die and our children cash out their parents’ retirement savings to put it into the economy immediately? Think of how much economic activity is generated when a 30 year old inherits two $500,000 accounta from their dead parents!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Report Shows Working-Class Americans Live 7 Years Fewer Than Rich⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well obviously, once we retire our lives no longer have value.

  The closer retirement age and death are the better it is for the economy; at its most efficient we’d work until the day we die at 60.

  Nice try.

  Everyone knows it’s turtles all the way down.

  Cops shouldn’t have unions. They aren’t workers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨tig ol bitties⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah this isn’t a universal human thing like the post suggests, it’s just that terms like “mammal” and “galaxy” are rooted in Europe.

  Folks? There are people outside of Europe, and they have different opinions on stuff!

  … so what you’re saying is that exoplanets cause autism!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Now that Trump is getting real chummy with Putin where does that leave China?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure the purpose of Trump’s pivot on Russia is to drive a wedge between Russia and China.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could your body adjust if you separated your macros into meals? Like all carbs for breakfast, all fat for lunch and all protein for dinner? What would happen?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty sure the fat meal will just become diarrhea.

  And bad news: electric cars, being heavier, emit more microplastics.

  My dog yawning would make me yawn.

  Evolution is stupid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Are Conservatives More Susceptible to Believing Lies?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I definitely didn’t think Russia was going to have invade Ukraine. I fell for that one and I probably would again, and I recognize that.

  Scientific socialists should be aware of their biases and try to control for them, not just assume our superior political theories make us immune to being tricked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Are Conservatives More Susceptible to Believing Lies?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m immune to US propaganda.

  Other sources my vary.

  I’m now using clean peanut butter jars as mini green houses for pots, to help seeds sprout. See! I need to save every single one!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Are Conservatives More Susceptible to Believing Lies?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No shit, I was a liberal once. I’ve had to read so many fucking books unlearning a lot of it and actually basing my socialism in historical materialism instead of vibes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Are Conservatives More Susceptible to Believing Lies?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I support defunding USAID too - they do a small amount of good philanthropic work as a cover to maintain public support, but for the most part it’s a foreign policy operation dedicated to undermining US enemies and propping up US allies.

  Death to America 😘

  I’m trans. He’s gonna fucking kill me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meow⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Right, but adult cats keep making those vocalizations well past that age.

  It’s not that far fetched that their neoteny is an adaptation to humans.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Are Conservatives More Susceptible to Believing Lies?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hardly. I’m just pointing out y’all are as propagandized as conservatives. You’re just susceptible to different lies.

  Liberals love to crow about how they fucking love science, but refuse to engage politics or history in a scientific manner. It’s all vibes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Are Conservatives More Susceptible to Believing Lies?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ask a liberal about the war in Ukraine or actually existing socialism and you’ll quickly find out it isn’t limited to conservatives. 😒

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Murica⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re forgetting that the US is a shithole country. The only way to afford rent is to live far outside the city.

  I’m a welding press operator and I live 20ish miles from my factory. I don’t have the money to move.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Murica⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My ebike has enabled me to take 40 mile round trips, saves me on hills (though honestly once you’re fit it’s not a big deal anyway), helps me carry lots of goods, and since I’m usually going fast the wind cools me down (though a little spray bottle helps keep me cool when it’s really hot). I’m usually warm enough from enough from physical exertion that I don’t really need a heater (unless it’s so blisteringly cold that the fog of my breath turns to ice in my balaclava, but that’s way below freezing.)

  The only thing that really stops me is ice. Any other weather I can handle, but when there’s ice my bike goes inside.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Murica⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe you shouldn’t have to live that far away from everything?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yeah, let's stop with this "don't judge people for their poiltics" bullshit⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was frustrated and angry at my government, you know what I did?

  I cast a protest vote for the PSL. A lot of people Lemmy are going to be mad about that because they’re Dem partisans, but many people cast protest votes or stayed home. People who refused to vote for Harris I can understand.

  To actually vote for Trump you have to be extremely confused. Fortunately, when prices don’t go down, everyone will realize he isn’t helping either. Then things get spicy!
