  • Villifying plants is on the nonsensical agenda as well (i.e. making mountains out of molehills over soy/phytoestrogens). But Tofu and other soybean foods have been staples across a huge chunk of East Asia for centuries and nobody’s been worse off for it (besides unlucky allergies). Funny enough, East Asia also has a few niche recipes for cooking bugs, and since my parents are from South Korea I occasionally ate steamed silkworm pupae as a kid (they sell them here in cans as 번데기/beondegi). The weird earthy taste and general phobia of creepy crawlies is the reason it’s not too popular nowadays. I wasn’t a huge fan myself but I do see bug meat as a potential resource.

    So it’s just the usual fearmongering over made-up problems. Plant protein is good, bug protein has existed as something I wouldn’t mind if it tastes alright, and the meat industry’s going to lobby for more subsidies and thrive regardless of what happens.




  • Now you’ve convinced me! I really ought to have been the bigger man when my mom called me in the middle of the night to tell me that Trump’s a martyr like Jesus and that the Democrats are performing demonic baby-eating rituals inside underground tunnels, and just let her keep screaming about me being a brainwashed woke communist because we just have little differences and we all need to get along.

    Haha, nope. I want scorched earth on every one of those conspiracy nut fuckers holding right-wing parties around the balls, since they went after my family with their brainrot. I don’t give a shit that a handful of people exist who don’t explicitly support Jewish Space Laser Marge or Venmo Bribes Clarence, because y’all still vote lock step to keep these crazy loons around because Roe v. Wade is worth killing for $300 extra on next year’s tax return.





  • The one on the upper right-hand corner of the recommended watch sidebar always manages to sneak past my multiple adblockers. I’m tired of having my eyes seared by massive anime tiddies (Queen’s Blade ads) just because I sometimes watch anime and the monkeys working in the algorithm machine greenlit softcore pornography to be plastered all over their platform. But I sure as shit ain’t paying them $170 a year to get those idiots to stop.


  • You mean rejecting both popular and representative democracy by attempting to kidnap and execute Congress?

    This isn’t some event in 1850 that you can pretend was about state’s rights or some bullshit like that, since you dumbasses recorded the event and voiced the motives yourselves. There wasn’t any goal of making America a better place to live, just pure spite to punish everyone who said no to an openly shitty demagogue. Fuckin’ pathetic.




  • They rennovated it too. How much could a starter home cost, $1.5 million lump sum?

    I’d be lucky to dream about having the funds to get a mortgage 1 home 15 years from now. All I want is a place I can live in and call my own for 40-odd years until I kick the bucket, then my future nephews and nieces can have a catfight over how to carve it up for coin assuming global warming hasn’t decisively fucked everyone over by then.

    Of course I wouldn’t be able to comprehend the mindset of affluenza-huffers who can’t live without cutting out the biggest slice of pie even if it means breaking the oven and starving out everyone else.





  • The distinction between anti-Semitism and anti-Israeli nationalism needs to be clarified more often.

    I respect Jewish people’s right to peacefully practice their religion. (Though I disagree with all organized religions for their seemingly intrinsic capacity for inflicting harm by providing a haven for opportunistic demagogues and predators). I do not respect the Israeli military and police blowing up and beating Palestinian children to death, or ordinary people who say that violence is neceasary because they want more land.

    There’s plenty of crazy people who think the other way, calling the religion unacceptable but embracing the nationalists who make human piñatas.


  • Bonus points for games that let you make cinematic moments yourself.

    Monster Hunter World (A Greatsword True Charged Slash into a head break or tail sever feels ridiculously good to land)

    Rogue-lites (I’ve mostly ran Hades, but I’ve seen a lot of great things about Dead Cells and Risk of Rain 2)

    Dragalia Lost (May it rest in sweet sassy molassy, and may Silent Hope bring some of that ARPG goodness back)
