Yeah you do that politically

If the PM saying publically "You can't take our country" isn't an example of doing just that, I don't know what would be.

The fact that a war isn't out of the question is exactly why we puff ourselves up and look as intimidating as we possibly can. Trump is not simply going to ignore a free meal of all our national resources, but he might give it a pass if he realises we'll bite back.

Just because you have compassion doesn't mean you have to be a pushover. If that's the only language she'll understand, then you gotta do what you gotta do.

Just remember that compassion for people is the opposite of the hatred that the republican party represents, but sometimes that compassion demands hard decisions.

The answer is "Not".

Cowering from bullies doesn't make them ignore you. It just reinforces that you're an easy target. You stand ground, and be ready to pop em in the face if they come for you.

You might even get the worst of it, but from then on they know they can't come for you without having to pay for it.

LCBO's Ontario protectionism has been a PITA. We used to at least be able to pick up some Quebec beers like Maudite and Fin du Monde, if not some of the smaller breweries. Would be nice to see a reversal of that.

Ahh good, let's put a bunch of electric heaters into the ocean. This sounds like it'll help with the ongoing crisis in ocean temperature rise, and certainly won't have any unforseen consequences.

So much this. This is why I have some amount of sympathy for the R's voter base. There is a systemic war on education going on, and to some degree these people are victims of this class war being waged by the ultra-rich.

They've been fooled to act against their own best interests, and I refuse to hold the sheep more responsible than the wolves who've tricked them.

7.5/10. Sweet chilli heat doritos would bump it to 9/10.

It seems to not RTFA is a time honoured tradition we've carried with us from Slashdot, to reddit, and now to Lemmy.

You made a categorical claim that is not substantiated. In fact, you're even ignoring evidence to the contrary solely because it's anecdotal.

As the idiom goes, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Worst case Ontario would be Doug Ford getting another term next week.

I don't normally deep fry food because it's annoying, uses a lot of oil, and not very healthy, but I somehow ended up with 2 lbs of oyster mushrooms and needed something else to do with them. Holy cow was it worth it.

Found the recipe here.

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! ^_^

Za #4, Pepperoni Pizza (sh.itjust.works)

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! ^^

 
 

I've been learning to cook all sorts of Indian recipes lately. The samosa are store bought, cuz who has time for that. Everything else is made from scratch. I'll probably get around to makeing my own samosas too, some day.

Will post recipes if anyone is interested. ^^

NY-ish style pizza (sh.itjust.works)

A riff on the classic NY style pizza. Obviously with all the extra toppings, and a cheddar style "cheese", it's not in any way accurate, but it's what I happened to have on hand.

Dough & Sauce:

  • Adam Ragusea's NY Style Pizza v2 [Content Warning: recipe is not fully vegan. It contains cow milk.]

"Cheese":

  • Smoked cheddar style vegan grating block

Toppings:

  • Red onion, mushroom, vegan sausage, fresh basil
