No you're pretty much right (it's about sharing, and not being selfish), but the way it's written doesn't make that clear.

I also remembered it as a book symbolizing wealth inequality but the metaphor doesn't work that well.

As a stay-at-home-parent to a young toddler, Ms. Rachel is the only reason I can shower or use the restroom some days. She is a treasure. Her content is great and my baby LOVES when we sing the songs with her. One of the absolute GOAT.

Yeah interestingly this was one of the only places that English versions of the Sailor Moon movies from the 90s series.

It looks a lot more complicated than it is. The tofu katsu recipe is really solid too - rarely have I ever come across a breaded fried food recipe that actually gives you the exact proper amount of batter.

So basically your argument is, if you don't like the gameplay loop, they force you to pay? I'm not arguing that there are idiots out there who will spend their life savings on digital crop, but you are dramatically OVERselling the difficulty of upgrade requirements. Sure if you wanna play 8 hours a day you're eventually gonna have to spend money, but. If you play for an hour or so each day, hit the events that are worth the time, do some daily/weekly dungeons as they are available, a little exploration and a little questing, and have any sense of "progress takes time", the actual gameplay is fun enough to carry without spending money. If it isn't, for you or someone else, then just don't play?

Also, oversexualization of minors is a term that gets thrown around a LOT with this game and I just don't see it, basically ever. The few characters that are actual children are dressed conservatively, act like children, are treated like children by other characters, there's never inappropriate commentary about them... if you wanna offense to the anime-style art that makes everyone, including adults, cartoonist, that's your opinion. It's weird that a lot of people act like it's a pervasive issue when it really doesn't exist at all in the game.

What the fuck are you talking about. This is an insane take.

Dang there is a lot of hate for this game here, like it's definitely not the best game ever but it is one of the most compelling mobile experiences out there, with a decent story that has some great moments, and it can absolutely be played completely for free without missing out on much. The only thing spending money is good for is specific characters and weapons, none of which are required, and you can absolutely save up from playing for free and get almost any of those characters/weapons without spending a dime.

It's not for everyone but I feel like this game gets a lot of hate simply for the Chinese origin, cartoony style, and microtransactions without any actual knowledge of what it's like to play it.

 

Tofu Katsu pretty much follows this recipe:

https://biancazapatka.com/en/tofu-katsu-recipe/

Except I used Smoked Paprika in place of regular paprika, oat milk instead of soy, and I also added a bit of MSG and garlic powder to the batter. For sauce, I mixed regular BBQ sauce with a bit of Aloha shoyu and gochujang. Served over white rice with home grown green onions (seriously, grow your own green onions on a windowsill it's so easy.)

Potatoes are this recipe:

https://mykoreankitchen.com/gamja-jorim-korean-braised-potatoes/

Except I omitted the honey and used rice vinegar instead of rice wine. I did the roasting method (400F baking 30 mins) instead of pan frying them for the first step.

Lastly, the Kimbap are simply frozen variety from Costco. They happened to start carrying Hanwoomul https://www.costcobusinessdelivery.com/hanwoomul-fried-tofu-%2526-vegetable-kimbap%2C-pre-sliced-rolls%2C-8.11-oz%2C-6-ct.product.2001169572.html but I know Trader Joe's has a version too and it's also really good. The dipping sauce for the kimbap is shoyu, rice vinegar, chili crisp, and a tiny bit of maple syrup.

Yeah the evidence is whack but right now the "He did something justified" is just a symbol, if it turns out someone else did it they would take over that symbolism.

I absolutely love this post. Amazing work.

Who said anything about going quietly. Rage, rage.

Don't kill yourself that's just giving them what they want. Existence is resistance.

This is almost definitely legal speak for "we ain't liable"

They don't care if you mod for game, but they're not opening themselves up to get sued if you download a mod and it borks your computer.

 

Decided to go with something healthy last night

The falafel is just bulk bin falafel mix, 4 parts mix with 3 parts water, divided into 1oz balls and baked at 450 for 15 minutes.

Here's the inside of the wrap

It's green and red cabbage, carrots, guacamole, and tahini dressing except I used red wine vinegar in place of the lemon juice because I wanted a little more tart.

The seasoning on the veggies (zucchini, carrots, mushrooms) is basically this mix here except I didn't have marjoram, and I added a tsp of citric acid powder. For the tartness. Are you noticing a pattern here.

The caramelized onion hummus I don't even follow a recipe for anymore, I've been making hummus for so long. It was about half a large sweet onion and some garlic caramelized in olive oil for a long time. Two cans of garbanzo beans drained, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup tahini, and 1/4 cup lemon juice, half a Tbsp salt, and a chucka chucka of cumin and smoked paprika (that's what I call it when I just shake the spice jar a couple of times and don't measure. Maybe half a tsp?) blend until smooth but not too smooth, I like it a bit chunky.

 

I think they do a pretty good job of holding his feet to the fire here. I'm not always a fan of the NY Times, but they do ride him pretty hard about his past statements.

As someone who grew up loving Linkin Park, I am hesitantly excited. The single they released is actually pretty good - The Emptiness Machine.

 

A New York appeals court on Monday agreed to hold off collection of former President Donald Trump’s $454 million civil fraud judgment — if he puts up $175 million within 10 days.

If he does, it will stop the clock on collection and prevent the state from seizing his assets while he appeals.

Delay. Delay. Delay.
