I do a dry brine, making sure to measure out the salt to around 1% steaks weight so you DONT over salt it. It’s like packing it with salt, just a reasonable amount

I’ve been grappling this for a while now, and how to think about it. It’s so sad that just about every being has to constantly work and suffer to prolong their existence (which only consists of work and suffering).

To what extent should we avoid the suffering? To what extent should we embrace it? Prolong it? Are there different types of suffering? Are some more preferable to others? Is suffering to produce art, or other creative work, better than the suffering of menial labour or going hungry?

How much should your children suffer? Should they suffer rigorous education and studying, or should you only occupy yourself with providing for them? Should you provide them a wealth of knowledge of life lessons and wisdom, or try to build up the largest pile of inheritance you can?

Firstly, I don’t agree with anyone in this chain, but man… there are just some people who damn near physically incapable of learning.

There’s also the simple fact that a huge portion of the population just don’t care about politics or government. If “didn’t vote” was an option for eligible voters, it would have won every election in US history.

Its because you have to have a certain degree of apathy in nature. Apathetic enough not to drain yourself on distant others, but not so much you neglect your own kin and offspring.

These are such conditions that allow for a fascist takeover. It is THE fascist playbook, to fearmonger the safety of your children, and scapegoating it on others. Its your empathy that drives you to protect your children, and the apathy that pushes you to accept the persecution of minorities.

This is why fascism is so pervasive, it preys upon the biological workings of human psyche. This is what needs to be taught in schools rather than “a bunch of evil people got into power and killed everybody”

Holy shit, these type of people are the worst. My narcissistic mother is like this. Constantly asking for guidance for literally everything “grab me half a bulb of garlic” “how much is half?”. Then afterwards blaming you for giving her such a complicated task, and goes on and on about how the way you work is sooooo backwards, and that if she just did everything herself it’d be sooooo much simpler (she says as the dissects the garlic clove by clove, weighing each one as she gets the closest possible value to half the total weight).

Yea this is something I’m dealing with as a self employed young adult now. Its genuinely getting on my nerves when friends in college or younger complaining about being super bored and saying “there’s nothing to do!!”.

There are certainly times I don’t want to do anything but I never have the opportunity of being “bored”

I’m not sure if the rules prevent you from getting invaded by other countries

But then you run into the dunning kruger effect. Way too many assholes and idiots with obscene amounts of it

I CANNOT agree more. Its just filler. I dont wanna backtrack to the middle of fucking nowhere for this resource that can only be found there. I hate fetch quests in games, and in survival crafting games, the entire game is a fetch quest

Depends if the achievements are good. A boring and bad achievment is something that is simply tedious, and isn’t hard. Like jumping in a specific spot 200 times. That’s stupid as hell.

I think a good achievement is “beat level without X ability”. Something that forces you to adapt and change your playstyle.

I also don’t think games should have hundreds or THOUSANDS of achievements, cause accomplishisng any of them feels like pissing in the wind.

Id much rather have 50 super difficult achievements, so each one feels impactful and rewarding.

What else do you expect him to do that will make an ACTUAL change? You HAVE to make some concessions when collaborating with large entities, and I think we are lucky that Louis can stay true to all of his beliefs with a large backing like FUTO, even if they aren’t perfect.

I feel like I’ve seen stories like this before, how a popular YouTuber, or advocate isn’t “perfect”. People in the comments provide a “perfect” alternative, they are usually super niche and super underground. Certainly someone that hasn’t yet had the chance to come under the same amount of scrutiny.

We need to be a little compromising to avoid cannibalizing our movement to achieve “purity” of our ideals, while corps continue to take ground. My two cents. Stop the bleeding first, before you worry about scars.

Yeah, it drives a lot of people to violence, self harm, and suicide. Like look at how hateful incels are, because of how they are deprived of sexual and intimate craving.

Responsibility also lies the people. We have no respect for our belongings, frequently trash working tools, computers and other goods. Replace the old with new, for the sake of keeping up with the times. Even cheap knives and other edged tools can be sharpened thousands of times before requiring replacement. Most are never sharpened at all.

The classic tale of a dining table made to last for generations, paid for by the father, be tossed by the son for something made by Ikea. As a woodworker, ive seen firsthand that the biggest killer of fine, handmade furniture.

It isn’t time, it’s us.

I would say I am now. I wasnt a few years ago but after roe v wade being overturned, the subsequent shitshows, as well has government powercreep against rights I believe women should yield, turned me into a feminist. There are obviously issues that men face, but I believe women are most at risk of oppression under this current administration. Especially with how frequently the blatant fascist dog whistle of “traditional family values” is blown nowadays. Republicans are desperately trying to cram women back into the kitchen and domestic servitude.

Ultimately the same for all other authoritarian states with a “docile” population. Fragile living conditions threaten their livelyhoods, preventing many from joining the fight.

What a wonderful collection of words. I love this. This is a modern form of poetry, unironically. This fills me with glee.

You sound asexual, have you tried dating other asexuals before?

Came here after API changes because I hold a grudge and I refuse to use the app again. Genuinely fucking unusable, all of the recent reviews are 1 or 2 star

Man mine was warping MONTHS after I got it home. This was especially brutal as a handtool woodworker with ADHD. Plane boards flat, get side tracked, come back and BOOM cupped to shit. Plane it flat again, and BOOM cupped again to shit. It took 6 months for it to finally stabilize, and by that point I have planed it flat literally 5 times.

At this point why dont people just fucking use greenwood instead of dimensional lumber, about equally as dry at least, and way cheaper.

Bitcoin has massive value as a tool to transfer money, anonymously, and through borders effortlessly. Its extremely valuable for money laundering, scamming, stealing, and dodging tariffs or raising money (see how much crypto is stolen by north Korea)
