That’s it, they’re making Games for Linux Live now.

I was hoping someone would mention the disc launcher!

We used to play the shareware version on the school computers whenever we had free time. Shazbot!

Undeniable classic. Not much more satisfying than hucking a file cabinet at a group of people who don’t see you yet.

Also, the trip mines were fun to use in smaller games (just like the Duke3d ones).

It’s frequently used as an excuse to berate “sinners,” with the excuse that they would want someone to confront them about their sins and lead them to Jesus.

A mandoline slicer makes the chopping much faster if you have one.

I like caraway seeds in mine.

I ferment on the top of my cabinets in a mason jar, then move to the fridge when it starts tasting right.

You’re right.

They’ll Thought They Were Free: The Germans 1933-45 is the best book I’ve read for understanding the rise of reactionary dictatorships.

From the reasons why people buy in to why they look the other way when atrocities are committed.

Reactionary ideology is all about hierarchy and assigning everyone to their proper place within it.

They want women to be baby factories instead of in the workforce where men belong.

They want those children obedient and knowing their place in the patriarchal structure; being a woman who wants an education or a trans woman or a man who believes in feminism is a slap in the face to the reactionaries, who think a person’s highest purpose is to stay in their place within society.

In other words, reactionary parents take it personally when you don’t want to be stuck in their assigned boxes.

You denied Musk’s obvious Nazi salute.

You don’t care about the truth or you’d look it up for yourself and find out this is real. Instead, you’ll continue to poison the well.

Have you looked into selling to reenactors?

They seem willing to pay for handcrafted stuff.

Is this your OC? I like your art style.

Something I hadn’t know about her:

For her guidance of the raid at Combahee Ferry, which liberated more than 700 enslaved people, she is widely credited as the first woman to lead an armed military operation in the United States.

Leeks with Mushrooms and Cabbage

Serves 4 to 6 people Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 30 minutes

Ingredients: ● 2 large leeks, coined ● 1 small cabbage, rough chopped ● 3 C assorted mushrooms ● broth ● olive oil ● salt and pepper to taste

In a large pot, heat some oil over a medium flame. Add the mushrooms and saute until they give off their water. Be patient - mushrooms are very wet, and they need to be cooked down. This can take ten or more minutes. Add in the leeks and cabbage once most of the water has cooked off, and stir well. Add salt and pepper to taste, as well as another drizzle of olive oil if required to keep the ingredients from sticking to the pot. Continue to saute until the leeks and cabbage are soft. The flavor of morels, shitake, or oyster mushrooms really shine through in this kind of dish. However, you can make it with plain button or portabella mushrooms just as easily. It’s also possible to make these with dried mushrooms. Simply rehydrate them before cooking. They will not let off as much water when cooking, of course.

German chocolate is like a whole other food than the wax that Hershey’s pretends is the real thing.

Reactionary ideology is all about protecting privilege by demonizing marginalized people. They believe in zero-sum rights and privileges: in their view, expansion of rights for another group inherently means a loss of rights for them.

L’homme Arme is such a cool composition. I’d love to hear a more period-accurate version, but this one is pretty great anyway.

Soviet Russia wasn’t exactly a model of progressivism though— it was a rigidly hierarchical society with extreme wealth disparity.

Same for the other examples.

The NTS fallacy is about redefining terms to cherry-pick data. Those regimes don’t match any version of ‘progressive’ I’ve ever seen.

I’ve come to understand that a lot of people see the world through the lens of power instead of morals, and they want to see themselves as the most powerful.

That’s one of the most concise ways I’ve seen it written out. People think reactionaries are stupid; when they say that, they don’t understand that conservative morality is wholly based on putting themselves higher in the hierarchy than the people they hate.

It’s why they make exceptions for themselves and their loved ones: it’s entirely morally consistent that they deserve the exceptions because of who they are.

That whole album is fantastic.

Do you have a source? I appreciate the info, but it’s not worth the lives of my pets if I’m wrong. One careless mistake means I’ve left the pan on too long, and they’ve got respertory damage.

I love the properties of cast iron for cooking so I’m not really sure I even care to switch, but I do like to know when I’m wrong.

I’ll look into ceramic skillets too, those sound cool. I do love iron though. I’ve got a BSR from the 40s that’s smooth as glass and can do scrambled eggs with no problem.

Thanks! I love cast iron, so I have quite a few pieces.

I’ve got pet birds, so I can’t cook with Teflon because if it overheats it outgasses a chemical that’s deadly to them. But that suits me just fine, because I can use metal utensils in these, and for anything acidic I’ll just break out the enamelware.

I do have a couple stainless pots, but they rarely make it to the stove, really just for sauces.
