I’m just here for that bangin’ pizza party. I don’t need to actually feed my kids.

Ok if the US didn’t win the war, explain Saving Private Ryan.

It sucks. I ended up emailing him after I saw your comment and they did say that a few people had to reschedule so no decision yet.

I have not. I just sent a follow up email but I’ve been at this for a while so can pretty much assume I didn’t get it.

Happy birthday homie.

Had one of the best interviews in my time as a wage slave last week and really felt like I hit it out of the park. They said I’d know on Friday. Well here it is Monday and still donno. Should I keep holding out or just blow my brains out now get it over with?

On a more cheerful note, I’m finally starting my dive into non-ML leftist theory and started Anarchy Works by peter Gelderloos and it’s been a pretty enjoyable read. The format is basically Idea, historical example, and synthesis of ideas with praxis for each chapter. But it’s clear and easy to digest. I’m 1/4 in and started Saturday and that with barely any time to read and I’m not a fast reader normally.

I’m pretty sure I’m definitely not an anarchist but I like that I am developing a fuller understanding of the concepts. I do like the idea of little pocket anarchist communities popping up all the time tho because even if they never last, it does show that humans can still be communal for at least a moment.

Might take a sidestreet after this book and read up on syndicalism since that’s also piqued my interest recently.

This is praxis

I’ll check it out. I’ve tried freeze and thaw and it came close but not quite. I think I’m asking Santa for a tofu press for Xmas tho because right now I’m using a few plates and cans of veggies or my bullet mixer for a weight and it’s not quite working lol.

I’m gonna watch this when I get a chance. Probably won’t have time today. But thanks. I really wanna get my tofu game down. It’s always mush when I’m done with it lol.

I’ll have to look into a used oil and a dredge Tupperware solution. I never really thought I’d be a tofu person in the first place but it’s just so cheap.

I can try this! With the bread crumbs I bet it would work great with sauces and such. Dang now I wanna do sweet and sour tofu lol.

Will do. When I’ve done corn starch in the past, the recipes all said to toss it ina bag with the tofu and spices and let it set. I can try marinade and toss right before for sure.

I’ve tried air frying and it gets a bit of the texture on the outside but it’s still softer than my liking in the inside. I don’t have access to a deep fryer so I can’t try to that way.

Gonna def try this. Thanks!

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.

If you are gonna do Mao, I’d say grab Five Essays. It’s got On Contradiction and On Practice both, which are always recommended for good reason, but it also has a few other really good works by him.

I’m trying to find it as an epud to add to my collection but I listened to the audiobook version which is on Spotify.

Joke’s on you, I’m already unemployed.

Those fake bacon bits that are bright red and crunchy that people put on their salads and such are made from soy. The real stuff that is chewy is def still pork.

Don’t forget Monster energy drinks! /s sort of. I take a supplement though lol
