I agree, but -

The thing about Age of Consent laws is that a case will never stand up in court unless the victim testifies. Even if a 50-y/o man is sleeping with a 14 y/o girl, it's practically impossible to prove criminality unless the victim testifies in court against him (and even then, there's a good chance that the judge will throw out the case anyways).

I think men that are paranoid about the legality of age gaps in relationships are either (1). Worried because they are taking advantage of young girls and think they would testify in court against then given the chance, or (2). Are more worried about what their social circles would think of them than a court of law.

I love this channel, but sometimes I wish he was willing to just hide behind a sheet of plexiglass and let some of these contraptions tear themselves apart

This is an Internet forum, not a party congress.

I am relishing in the terror.

Spork would fit right in with the Anarchist polycule alongside Branch, Leaf, Bread, and Sock

The charities Imouhagh International, Kel Akal, Diaspora of the United States, and the Azawad Solidarity Association accuse them of crimes against humanity and war crimes.

Sounds like the the organizations complaining are mostly for the Western diaspora. Just makes me think of similar orgs for Ughyrs or Tibetans or w/e that are solely made up of people who work for the U.S. government or NGOs it funds.

I'd like to hear what the Tuaregs actually living in the area think.

They don't believe it's wrong to assault women; they just believe they're their women to assault.

It is lib shit, but at least it's "Liberals being Liberals" and not "Liberals scolding leftists for not being Liberals"

Al-Queda-led Syria and the Gulf Monarchies is not "Almost the entire Arab world". Iraq, Lebanon, and Yemen did not support Israel, Bashar would not have. Algeria is too far away to matter but they did not.

This is the essence of "meeting people where they're at", though. You are not going to turn a significant percentage of the white middle class into disciplined Marxists. The material conditions don't exist for it.

It's like, I'm in the PSL and we organize a lot of protests. Our local Indivisible branch is pretty cool as far as Libs go - they're willing to work with us, they're willing to learn, they're pro-trans rights and lean towards Palestine (but Indivisible at the national level forbids local branches from doing Palestine stuff because they're full of Zionists). And they have thousands of members, in a relatively small city.

But recently they've been expressing anxiety to me about liability - that they haven't been able to get event insurance for their protests, that they're being told they need insurance to get permits, that they believe in going through "the proper channels" especially because we live in a Democrat city. They're worried about prosecution or lawsuits because they're professional-class boomers, they have qualifications (legal/medical/engineering/etc.) that can be taken away, they have houses they could lose in a lawsuit, they have kids and grandkids to take care of.

It comes down to material conditions. The more I work with them, the more empathetic I try to be - they're doing what can be expected of them wrt their class position in society. They're not Marxists but they're never going to be.

Howdy! I’m Drew, and I’m the administrator of a Socialist West-Marches DnD 3.5e Discord Server, the Axe and Sickle! The server is over a year old, has a dozen DMs, over 30 active members (and over a hundred lurkers), and hosts an average of 2 or 3 games a week. The game has an old-school, traditional fantasy feel.

Devastated by an unknown catastrophe centuries ago, the Ohm Basin is home to naught but monsters and outlaws. A retired adventurer from a foreign land has founded a town in the middle of it, and adventurers - such as yourselves - file into its tavern, the Axe and Sickle, to secure their own fortune! Plunge ancient depths to uncover lost secrets, thwart necromancers who build their strength away from civilization, and compete with fellow grave-robbers to loot forgotten tombs!

If you don’t know what a West Marches Game is, it is a style of DnD game where, rather than a static party that meets regularly and follows the DM’s campaign, the players themselves choose who to adventure with (and when to meet) for a single expedition before returning to town and disbanding. This is good for players with inconsistent schedules and interest, as it is an extremely low-commitment game. You don’t need to set aside any time in your schedule for this game on a permanent basis; just pick a time and day that works for you, one session at a time. And if you have the energy for anywhere between two games a week to one game a month or even one game ever, you can be accommodated.

The only things required are a Discord account and a mic. Prior DnD experience is not; everyone is welcome. For now, all games are run in English. The game is a safe space for Socialists but anyone is welcome as long as they aren't disruptive.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. We’ve recently expanded our DM team and are looking to run even more games than we do now, but to do that we need more players. We’d love to have you!

Is there any way to view all posts on a given instance (as if that instance was your home instance and set to "local"), and not just a specific community/communities you are subscribed to?

Specifically, my home instance is Lemmygrad, but I'm interested in ttrpgs and want to keep up with ttrpg.network. This instance is relatively inactive so I never see their posts on my front page, and it's content is spread over several communities. I want to be able to see what's going on there while still using my Lemmygrad account.

 

Stovetop strip steak, roasted veggies and steak fries, mushroom and onion topping, and the best garlic bread I've had in my life.

Measuring is for nerds. I just vibe.


Marinade (24/hr):

Mostly soy sauce

Olive oil

Worcester sauce

Lemon juice

Red wine vinegar

Garlic powder

Dried rosemary


Steak:

New York Strip. Boneless, because I don't like the hassle (and the boneless was on sale for $7.99/lb!)

McCormick Montreal steak seasoning

Fried in butter. I put some more on it at some point. Butter.

After cooking, put some garlic spread on

4 min. on each side in the pan, 15 minutes in the oven

Let it rest!


Topping:

Half a sweet onion

Two 4 oz cans of mushrooms

Two jalapeno peppers

A garlic bulb (chopped)

A lil bit of sweet red wine

A spoonful of sugar, added near the end

Fried in olive oil, like 10 minutes? Until the wine is reduced.


Veggies:

The other half of the onion

Another garlic bulb (just thrown in there)

Another jalapeno pepper

A big ole' carrot

A bag of frozen steak fries, forgotten about and added 5 minutes after the other veggies

Cook for half an hour at 450 F.


Garlic Bread:

Two loaves of Italian bread

The majority of a tin of garlic spread

Seasoned salt

A whole lot of Parmesan cheese, freshly grated.

Italian seasoning

15 minutes at 450 F.

Chicken Noodle Soup (media.discordapp.net)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by Drewfro66@lemmygrad.ml to c/tonightsdinner@lemmy.world
 

Here's the recipe:

3 sticks of celery

One large carrot

A bulb of garlic

2 Lbs. of chicken breast

8 cups of wide egg noodles

8 cups of chicken broth (+2 cups of water)

Fried the chicken in olive oil, then the carrot and celery in butter. Added the chopped garlic then the broth, brought to a boil then added the noodles. After about 15 minutes of cooking added the chicken back in. Haven't tasted it yet, but I burned my tongue on the broth lol.
