Not usually. I’ll add a bit next time to see how I like it!

Ohh my only guess was herbal tea (at first I thought maybe a bone broth but they didn’t look sturdy enough for bones).

What was cooking?

I love stew! It’s important to cackle like a witch as you add ingredients to your stew pot.

Easy and cheap veggie stew:

Chop:

• peeled russet potatoes
• Yellow onion
• Celery
• Carrot (frozen is fine too)

Add:

• bay leaves
• black pepper
• Cayenne pepper if your a bit sick and need to clear you sinuses (it’s potent though, add slowly to taste, it’s fine to add directly to you bowl instead)
• Dry basil
• a bit of turmeric if you like it and have it on hand
• salt
• If you can afford it veggie broth or some ‘better than bouillon’ seasoning is nice but if not, add more onion and spices.

The proportions depend on your batch size and preferences and can be pretty flexible but for a medium pot or a spaghetti pot that’s about 1/3 full I usually use 2-3 medium russet potatoes, 1-2 yellow onions, 3-4 celery stalks, a handful of carrots (2-3 fresh ones), 2+ bay leaves. Everything else to taste. Add salt last after you’ve added vegetable broth or water to ~2 in above the soup contents and brought to a boil. Simmer for about 20 min.

I still support the Vichy comparison, great take

…collapse of the longstanding institutions of a great democracy…

Yeah a ‘great democracy’ that was designed to serve landowners and merchants and scans through to make sure huh, yep, still seems designed for landlords and corporations.

Maybe to stock people since they panic at everything but it’s way up overall

lol they did say they need a consultant, maybe you would qualify just based off relative knowledge

That bit about the dumped bodies sounds super sketchy.

As a general rule I think it’s best to take ideas on their own internal merit without attaching yourself too strongly to particular figures. People are fickle but a well founded idea can transcend its author.

That doesn’t mean you should esteem someone for having one good thought or withhold your contempt of their general character though.

Me playing Another Crab’s Treasure over break

I think reddit skews older and therefore so does Lemmy, but the more younger people who join the more likely we are to get a bit of a snowball effect going! Hopefully some others in your age demographic see this post and suggest something. What are some things you feel sets gen z apart? My younger sister would be considered on the older end of gen z but I don’t think her interests are particularly standard.

I do think forum style communities like reddit and lemmy/kbin are more focused on particular hobbies which span generations more easily. For example I have a background in audio and spend a lot of time on the Gearspace forums which skew much older than me, but that doesn’t make me feel particularly out of place except for the clear class divide (like people recommending really expensive gear to newbies or talking about how they write from their mountain retreat).

Main character hard to relate to

I bought the Runtastic six pack abs trainer and butt trainer (one time $5 fee for each app) several years ago and have gone through each program a number of times with excellent results. Especially considering the workouts were only about 10-15 minutes each (so 30 minutes to do one of each). These apps have been discontinued for new downloads but I bet you could fine similar apps for free or cheap that don’t require subscriptions.

Mine has actually gone down a couple of times with two different car insurance companies. Though my insurance has never been on the hook for a claim from me either.

A lot of rich people like to feel like they’re getting an ‘authentic’ experience on vacation so they visit remote villages and hire locals (who are usually well versed in entertaining rich tourists) to give them ‘authentic’ tours and taste the local booze. I doubt this is what Twain was talking about though.

hehehe they thought

It’s a social media platform people are signing up in anticipation for the TicTok ban that is notably also a chinese company.

he did quit over this though
