I’d do me any day of the week.

Been doing the same journey and want to chime in that it be better. Still have my dips but they are so fleeting.

Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks

to the Turkish Sultan:

You Turkish Satan, brother and comrade of the damned devil and secretary to Lucifer himself! What the hell kind of knight are you? The devil s[hit]s and you and your army swallow [it]. You aren’t fit to have the sons of Christians under you; we aren’t afraid of your army, and we’ll fight you on land and sea.

You Babylonian busboy, Macedonian mechanic, Jerusalem beerbrewer, Alexandrian goatskinner, swineherd of Upper and Lower Egypt, Armenian pig, Tatar goat, Kamenets hangman, Podolian thief, grandson of the Evil Serpent himself, and buffoon of all the world and the netherworld, fool of our God, swine’s snout, mare’s a[ssho]le, butcher’s dog, unbaptized brow, may the devil steam your a[s]s!

That’s how the cossacks answer you, you nasty glob of spit! You’re unfit to rule true Christians. We don’t know the date because we don’t have a calendar, the moon [=month] is in the sky, and the year is in a book, and the day is the same with us as with you, so go kiss our b[ut]t!

So if there are two types of grapes at the store, one grown in Israel and the other somewhere else, and you pick those not grown in Israel you are potentially going to jail? Because someone can orchestrate your choice into being a boycott. This sounds so arbitrary and exploitable.

Frozen peas is the GOAT! Spinach is a close second. Fancy haricots to liven up presentation comes in third.

I CAST

Mystery hair on tongue

Going out I have lots of vegan options so that isn’t an issue generally. And am not rigid in my principles, being a bit moderate makes me less of an obnoxious cunt. Easier to cook for, take along on outings etc.

If I hold hard on any principle it is that to not let perfect stand in the way of good. Being able to do 90% ethical consumption I find to be much better than failing to be 100% pure.

I’m kinda in this camp as well. Barely eat any meat and the meat I do buy is from small local producers where I can meet (hihi) and greet the animals.

It’s so… round.

Year long lowest possible to keep whatever fluids are in the radiators flowing. Not off but not too on either. And then open windows to regulate temperature.

My building is hot OK…

Haven’t played any civ in ages but there should (could) be a setting “Only War” or something similar that makes everyone hostile to eachother. Or there may be a mod to the same effect.

It would be more work, more dishes etc. And the heterogeneity is nice.

Lazy tomato soup. Serves me (1)

Half a can of canned tomatoes (200g)

A red onion, diced

Garlic to taste

Your choice of protein (I loooooove chickpeas)

Add broth to desired thickness

Put everything in pot, simmer for 7-10 minutes and season to taste. Enjoy

A bar song in my ass

Because it gives me stability to enjoy life. Simple as that. One part of the life puzzle.

A bench, adjustable dumbbells and a pullup bar will get you there. Lots of home/garage gym information out there. And then there is body weight training, yoga etc if you don’t want to work with weights.

But then there is the motivation and discipline factors. For me it is easy to put on a workout video but also easy to not really put in any effort. I’m bad at holding myself accountable at home. So instead I go the gym. One should also never ignore the social aspect of hitting the gym even if you seal yourself off with headphones and never talk to anyone. You do become part of the group/scene. And if your gym offers them I will recommend classes.

Isn’t that buying american(s)?

I feel called out. Why do you call me out in such a mean way? I may shed a tear. But please look at my arms as I wipe it off [flexes]

The beavers went like

“Fuck you, we’ll make our own dams. With natural filtration and spacious habitats”

Part vanity, part that I’ve come to enjoy the exertion and part socializing. Eclipsing them all is that I want to have enough of a bodily overcapacity to be able to handle as much fuckery as possible that life throws at me. Injury prevention.
