40 bucks a week, you aren't buying packs of camels from a real store, you're buying a freezer bag full from the trunk of a car

so oilbrained that you included "no fuel to run the oiltankers" as a downside to not producing oil

As far as I can tell it was never popular.

:(

It came out in 1989 and was ported to every game system and microcomputer that was released in america and Japan for like the next 3 generations of hardware. It sold over 4 million copies. Its the game that gave peter molyneux a blank check to make whatever game he wanted for like three decades.

All these games will be lost in time... Like tears in rain...

i read rainbow six because i played the game, and while i enjoyed it, even me as a 13 year old boy was kind of disturbed by how 20% of the book is lurid descriptions of the beauty and efficiency of our weapons. long descriptions of how the troopers are super competent, long descriptions of the precision and mastery of the snipers, how the guns are well oiled and wonderful tools, etc. real psycho stuff. also the bad guys are environmentalists planning to kill everyone on the planet with a engineered virus lol

essentially they first hired baldwin, who was not a leading man but had already done some big movies, and it was going to be more of a traditional vehicle for baldwin.

then they hired sean connery, a genuine movie star, and he wanted them to expand on his character and make the soviets more interesting and human as a result. they had too or wanted to take advantage of connery's star power and the result is a much better story.

plz help, my cicadas keep dying before the several hours are up

 

SALT you fucking idiots! it's so crazy that everybody is mad about the suggestion that it needs spices when they left out fucking SALT. have you had slices of grocery store tomato without salt??? have you had bocconcini or fresh mozzarella or similar kind of cheese without salt??? like i PUT pepper and i PUT olive oil on it, what more do these people want?

maybe dont completely fuck up the dish by leaving out SALT and you won't have people being like "this sucks, why doesn't it taste like anything" like sure adding cumin isn't a good solution but at least they recognize that there's no flavour.

instead its used as an opportunity to be defensive about being white on reddit

FUCK you

FUCK these people

Power Dynamics

 

male presenting anglo canadian here, every interaction i have ever had is in some way tinged with white supremacy and male privilege. i've been treated better and assumed by default to be more competent than non-whites pretty much every day.

also like have you ever talked to another white person? if a white person or man talks to someone they assume shares their values they say the worst shit. i thought it was funny when libs were condemning trumps "locker room talk" defense like it's so unbelievable to them that men would discuss sexual assault like that in a male space. "i've never heard anything like that in a locker room." you are lying. most white men are thinking and saying the worst possible things at any given moment.

non-white people can tell by the way they are treated by white people and western society that white supremacy is the thread that binds the western world together. but if you look like them, they will just tell you straight up their terrible ideas assuming you will agree. if you cant figure it out when you actively benefit from it daily, if you cant notice that you're being held to a different standard by other white people daily, if you cant figure it out when they LOOK FOR EXCUSES TO TELL YOU, than i dunno how much self-crit is gonna help. at that point it seems like an empathy problem

if you identify as an anarchist or a communist and also identify with your whiteness, you missed something, probably a lot of things, along the way. try to be more perceptive geez.

love to my comrades of every skin colour and gender identity, death to the first world and any framework including race used to justify it

 
 

posting this here because i don't think this is what the vegan comm is for

i've already cut out most meat because of the price, but I consume a lot of dairy, particularly for protein, like cottage cheese and greek yogurt type stuff, and cheese and milk

i've been convinced that the dairy industry is evil

my problem is i'm allergic to:

lentils chickpeas peas soybeans all tree nuts peanuts

so like my protein options are basically grains, black beans and kidney beans. also pretty much every vegan alternative product contains this stuff. in particular I noticed that pea protein is being used a lot in stuff that used to have soy in it, which is even worse for me. soy sauce is ok because the protein is processed out.

anyone have any advice? dealt with this themselves? i can't really just make the same thing over and over again because i'm feeding my family too.

i already have a very good vegan chili I make and veggie soup, also I like salads but fresh vegetables are pretty expensive here.

 

i read that thread on lemmy.word or w/e with the person posting about how they got banned from here for supporting trans people "in the wrong way" and then i read the bit about how they were lamenting about "trans issues" are the reason why we have culture war and shouldn't focus on them.

i couldn't post there because im not making an account for lemmy.world so please just imagine i posted a good pigpoopballs in there.

thanks!
