  • Innovation is 27 canned soup brands all owned by the same company and the “healthy” or vegan options cost 50-100% more.

    Innovation is 15 different brands of phones that all run some half baked glitchy version of Android that loses half its battery charge life after 2 years so you have to buy a new one. But the Google Pixel is now on sale for $899.

    Innovation is Voltwagon paying to fudge their emissions test because fuck the planet they got shareholders to please. They could be spending money on clean energy technology instead but yeah…

    Innovation is DRM-based streaming services that all have the same slop but Netflix has cool shows they cancel after 2 seasons because altho they are really cool for the niche audience, they didn’t bring in a gorbillion viewers.

    I’ll add more if I think of any.




  • I def still need to play Disco Elysium.

    I only have one tattoo and it’s Hunter Thompson’s initials on my wrist. I’m a fan of his work and it’s sort of a reminder to me to stay weird.

    It hurt and I was like “never getting one again” but now I’m considering getting an ASD infinity symbol somewhere noticable but out of the way. I don’t know if I’d ever get anything that showed my political affiliations but I guess to be fair. To my edgy ass brother, at the time anarchy meant something not related to actual theory. I doubt he even knows that there is anarchist theory.












  • I’m slowly navigating life after becoming vegan and this hasn’t been true all the time for me but when it is, it fucking hits hard.

    My chili recipe was converted to vegan early on after I came over and you can’t fucking tell it’s vegan. I’ve said before on reddit but I will put it up against anyone’s “prize winning chili recipe”.

    I made sloppy joe’s last week with TVP and day one was ok but when it came time for the leftovers, you woundn’t have know it was vegan. To me, it was exactly like the slop I grew up with.

    I’m still trying to master tofu. I can’t get it at all like my favorite Thai place does it.

    I’ve been working a bit with the soy curls and “beef slices” you can find from Asian stores and it’s been hit and miss with trying to get it right but a few weeks ago I made a mushroom, spinach linguine using the slices and it fucking slapped. I hydrated the slices with veggie broth and some spices and then sauteed them in a pan with my shrooms and spinach and tossed the pasta in at the end and sort of winged it but it was really fucking good.

    Another thing that I think needs to be mentioned is that most meat subs are like half the cost of the animal counterpart. Beyond and manufactured seitan obviously isn’t but any of the soy products I’ve tried are. You also get the same or more protein with the substitutes.
