  It’s basically applying the cheese making process to soy milk, yeah? So I’m thinking that, theoretically, you could attempt the same with like almond milk or something. Peanuts and soy seem to have a similar texture, I wonder if you could make like peanut milk and then turn that into a tofu like thing?

  I know that some jobs require people to have read receipts, but I cannot fathom any reason why anyone would choose this of their own volition. If for no other reason than I imagine text spammers use it to figure out if a number is “active.”

  Them never actually landing on Earth frustrates me. Honestly, I kinda wish they’d gotten home sooner so that we could have some time seeing them adjust to life back on Earth/Vulcan/wherever.

  “We are perfection.” You sure about that? Your guys shamble about, instead of adding appendages you remove them, there are loose cables everywhere that catch on everything, and your ships CLEARLY have inefficient use of space if a Galaxy-class starship is capable of maneuvering inside of it.

  Look at Mr Darcyshire here, dressing above his station. He’s adorned like a gentleman about to take a ride on one of his stallions, but given that he’s holding a tray with bagels on it, he’s clearly a footman from downstairs. Is this fancy dress? Some remnant medieval festival kept alive by the local Duke that allows for lessers to don the costume of their betters for a day? I dare say, this man is risking the upending of the God-ordained social hierarchy and liable to induce chaos in the country. Perhaps the cities, with their more lenient morality, can abide such broaching of etiquette and class. But no country gentleman would ferry a tray of pre-packaged bagels and no footman with any sort of conscience would make a mockery of the aristocracy that provides his bread and board.

  harumphing and monocle adjusting continues

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I will never understand how brain rot got it's way to Mastodon⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve noticed a sharp increase in just GARBAGE re-toots (which wind up on the trending page) in the past year or so as more people migrate to Mastodon. Just the worst of Twitter offal finding new life. The trending page is where I get a bit disheartened. When I want to be reminded of what Mastodon is really like, I just click on the Federated tab and see all the random posts from normal people (and bots, so many bots) around the world. Way less snark and self-importance there.

  It’s also one of the reasons I was disheartened that .social removed access to the Federated and Local tabs (I got them back by making a complaint–I’ll eventually migrate to a smaller instance). I get that it’s crazy hard to moderate those. But taking that away made Mastodon feel smaller and more like “every other social media.” I don’t want that. I came to Mastodon because it’s different.

  The obsession I have with Trigger…

  I love that Willie, a very rich man, still plays THIS guitar and only this guitar. Like, you go to concerts and there’s a guitar tech grabbing different instruments off stage, swapping them out. But ol’ Willie just up there with bus up Trigger looking like she’s about to collapse into splinters. But she produces such a unique sound that no other guitar can match.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The rich passing our money back & forth⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s almost like that scene in Office Space where the guys are trying to figure out money laundering, looking up the definition in the dictionary. Michel then says “What I don’t understand is how these Neanderthal Mafia guys can be so good at crime and smart guys like us can suck so badly at it.” It’s almost like these tech guys watched that scene and said “yeah!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you use the "uno reverse card"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I spent a month in Thailand, teaching English in a rural village on the border of Laos. Over the years the Thai teachers had acquired multiple decks of Uno. They merged them into one giant deck and developed some brutal house rules that I still use. They stacked every plus card. So if you put down a +4, the next person could put down a +2, etc. They’d secretly conspire with each other to run a gauntlet of plus cards. I once got in on the action and we went around the circle like three times stacking plus cards. We were targeting my best friend, who was teaching with me. Got like +40 cards or something built up.

  Then bro holds up the reverse and that meant the whole plan turned on me. Everyone was roaring with laughter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Literally nobody⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The fact that weʻve seen a few MAGA pastors openly say stuff like “Well, Jesusʻ teachings were more applicable in the first century and we have to adapt now” is proof enough that itʻs not Jesus they believe in. I want to see this pushed more and more to get them to finally admit that theyʻre not actually Christians, but are actually like Cartman in the South Park episode where he starts a Christian band (“You donʻt know the first thing about Christianity!” “I know enough to exploit it.”)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Literally nobody⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This. I went through a similar thing, but wound up in a different place (grew up in fundie-leaning Southern Baptist world with a pastor that turned out to be a sexual predator and abused people I am close to; decided to revisit the Bible and all that and wound up a priest in the Episcopal Church). Regardless of how folks end up, breaking people free from their control is paramount. If a meme manages to dent the armor, so be it. And if it annoys OP, they can always just mute it and move on. I do it a lot with posts that are openly hostile to my beliefs.

  Iʻm no wizard of number words, but I think the declining birth rate there might have something to do with the decades of one-child policy that wound up favoring male children…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just Walk Out⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know it’s a shitpost, but man does it feel good to quit. I once had a job I HATED (lumber department at a chronically under-staffed Home Depot where I’d be the only person expected to work both lumber and building materials during the day when contractors were in wanting stuff). One day I was scheduled to close, then scheduled for the morning shift the next day. This meant not getting home until around 11 and then getting up the next morning at 5. Alarm goes off and I just pulled a Peter Gibbens from Office Space. I hit that snooze and went right back to sleep. Woke up a few hours later, loaded a surfboard in my truck and went to the beach. Left to see family for Thanksgiving a couple days later and sent every phone call from my manager straight to voicemail. It was immature, irresponsible, but absolutely liberating.

  I think the only time I felt as free was when I ended a rocky five-year relationship.

  I worked for Home Depot and it is the only job where I just left one day and never went back. My only regret was not grabbing my apron with my forklift certification on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Killing ownership is the method, killing the secondary market is the objective.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve seen the something similar on Mastodon. It’s become colonized by some of the worst of Twitter’s offal. A lot of them moved over to Bluesky, but I’ve seen a return since that platform’s shittiness finally emerged. Negative and fear-mongering news posts as well as entitled snark. It’s still better than the alternatives, but I’m starting to think that maybe the algorithms were only part of the overall problem… But at least I have the means to moderate what I see.

  Thing is, if “digital” actually meant “own” we wouldn’t even be having this conversation. Is this one of those things where the old “block chain” could be helpful? Like, a mechanism for actual digital ownership where one can have reasonable assurance that the thing one has downloaded actually belongs to them? That, so long as there’s a unique key, one can access that digital item whenever one desires–AND can transfer that to someone else by way of sale or trade?
