I remember when I was a fledgling vegan, and still like "I accept the ethics of veganism, but PETA still sucks." Then I started looking at what they actually do, their track record, and what they get criticised for, and it completely changed my perspective.
From personal experience, I've spoken to several leftists who aren't even willing to consider the issue of animal welfare because (and I'm paraphrasing here) "human issues come first". Like it's some sort of either or situation, when really the positions are complimentary.
Not sure if this is what the video is about, as I can't watch it right now.
I know it's weird because she's your best friend's widow, but I woulda romanced misty in a heartbeat. She's such a sweetheart.
Ah yes, what a quality use of taxpayer dollars. 🤮
Yeah, r/vegan was almost more of an outreach community, even though that wasn't technically supposed to be true.
-Aggressive tax on empty properties/units
It's even tagged as zettai ryouiki, when most of the examples are absurdly off from the correct ratio. To quote wikipedia:
The ideal zettai ryōiki ratio for the length of the miniskirt, the exposed portion of thigh, and the over-knee part of the socks is 4:1:2.5, with a tolerance of 25%.[3][4][5] The ratio has also been referred to as a golden ratio (黄金比, ōgonhi) among fans.[6]
Disappointed!!
I love how you've set up a false dichotomy to complain about lack of nuance.
Also, since there will be a bit of oil splattering, make sure to quickly secure your lid with clamps. Hope you have a blast!
I was at a sit down recently where the lowest tip selectable without entering a dollar amount was 18%. 10% used to be the standard for competent service, 15%-20% for outstanding service. Now the quality of service is worse because they're underataffed, and they expect me to tip more?? Get real.
Makes me think of a trend in FTP gaming, where there was a correlation between play time and $ spent, so gaming companies would try and optimise for time played. They'd psychologically manipulate their players to spend more time in game with daily quests, battle passes, etc, all in an effort to raise revenues.
What they didn't realise was that players spent time in game because it was fun, and they bought mtx because they enjoyed the game and wanted it to succeed. Optimising for play time had the opposite effect, and made the game a chore. Instead of raising revenues, they actually dropped.
This is why you always have to be careful when chasing metrics. If you pick wrong, it can have the opposite effect that you want.
I will save some fetid rotten tomatoes from the compost as a gift if these asshats ever come to my neck of town.
Some people have to learn to pull themselves up by their bootstraps! Isn't that the conservative way? Bootstraps, Giuliani, bootstraps!
You better hope I don't get no bullets on layaway!
This is why I have trouble trusting restaurants that aren't fully vegan. To them, veganism isn't about ethics, it's about marketing.
Word of the year? OK, well, you're about a few years late, but better late than never I suppose.
Cool cool cool, looks like it's trade war time. Surely this'll be to the benefit of anyone.
Veggie tendies are too good. They're definitely my guilty pleasure vegan food. I love to fry a few up, and make a burger with red onion, tomato, pickled jalapeños, chopped lettuce, veganaise an sriracha. Also, toast the bun in the leftover cooking oil.
Definitely not the healthiest meal ever, but oh so delicious.
I was going to make pizza on Friday, but I messed up when stretching my dough, and it seized up, so I had to rest it and re-rise, and so change of plans!
I had left over curry and just made the tofu cutlets by shallow frying in a small pan to minimize oil usage.
As always, any questions or feedback welcome, and happy to provide recipes if anyone wants them! \_\
I happened across some store bought vegan pepperoni, and decided I'd do one of the most simple pizzas in existance: the NY style pepperoni pizza. It totally wasn't because I was lazy and it takes like almost zero effort.
My dough caught on the peel as I was shimmying it on to the griddle, so I kinda got this weird teardrop-shaped pizza. Oh well. (:
There's really just something very comforting about a basic-ass slice like this. It's not fancy or pretentious, just delicious.
So I've decided to make pizza every Friday this summer. This is \#3, but I declined to post the first two because they contained a slightly controversial brand plant based meat substitute.
This one has vegan blue cheese, caramelized onions, button mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, balsamic reduction and pear slices. I meant to add a bit of arugula, but I forgot. A little fresh basil probably would have been good too.
Oh yeah, I was going to have it last night (y'know, on Friday like I said) but some stuff came up so I had to delay a night.
Feel free to ask for any recipes or whatever! I generally follow Adam Ragusa's NY style pizza recipe, but he's not vegan so if you don't want to give him additional traffic, I can probably answer any questions you might have.
If you have any suggestions for my next pizza, I'd love to hear it! \\
