I always sort of wondered why politicians call themselves socialists despite obviously not being them, but I guess to most people socialism = healthcare.

He looks much older and has much smaller muscles in real life, compared to all his dumb AI images, by the way...

I've had my fair share of stupid bans but this one takes the cake. They don't even pretend I was breaking the rules. The people on this site are echo chambered out of their minds. I hate Reddit ideology. It's the most stupid slopulist bullcrap but if you question a tiny part of it, here comes the Reddit police to ban you for bullshit reasons.

For context, in this specific case I saw a comic inventing an imaginary billionaire vaguely based off Elon Musk and left a comment along the lines of "this is made up and you've never met a billionaire, you don't know any of these people will enough to make this kind of speculation." But people just don't fucking care about the truth. They don't. If you ever try to call them out for making shit up about billionaires or big companies you get hit with the "defending a billion dollar corporation" meme. These people are like animals who have been conditioned to attack as soon as they hear 9 digits.

Just gluten free flour, jaggery powder, cocoa powder, baking soda, almond milk, and then topped with date-sweetened choco peanut butter magic... air-fried to perfection. 10 mins, one bowl, zero regrets. 🫶🏻

Whenever I see people talking about economics in the context of a political discussion it makes me want to pull my hair out. I'm not an expert on it myself, but it's almost always plainly obvious that people on the right are making stuff up about economics to suit their narrative. Then people on the left who are also clueless about economics assume the stuff they just heard was actual economics and process to do anti-intellectualism and dismiss the entire field of study as fake bullshit made up to support right-wing talking points. I guess it's sort of a more general issue where the popular conception of a thing drifts far away from what it actually is and people begin discussing the fake thing as if it were real. Something something simulacrum hyperreality.

I recently got a second hand wet grinder and the seal inside the drum where the food goes has helped somewhat. Not sure if it's okay to use like this. Does anybody know a food grade sealant that I could put over the top of the old stuff?

Very brown I'll admit, but it's a lovely meal. Found an Asian shop near me that does kombu and I couldn't wait to try it in something. Heard it improves the texture and digestion of beans so here we are.

Recipe: Pressure cook 50g lentils with about a 10cm sweetie of kombu and a glug of soy sauce for 15 minutes, don't add to much water as it will dilute the broth. While that's cooking, fry a large onion until soft and lightly browned with a pinch of chilli flakes. Add a quarter bottle of white wine and reduce. Then dump in the lentils, lentil water, and 50g of oats (preferably jumbo), but pick out the kombu and slice it into strips before adding it back in (most of the flavour has gone but I like the texture of it). Add tomato paste, black pepper, a dollop of tahini, and nutmeg to taste then cook until the oats have thickened the mixture to your liking.
