Meanwhile the tens of millions added to the police budget under Wheeler remain intact. Funny how you’ll never see PPBs budget retracted.

For me the replacement depends on the culinary use it replaces.

For scrambles: Brick of extra firm tofu, sliced and crumbled to scrambled egg texture. Mix in 1tsp turmeric, 1tsp black pepper, optional 1tsp garlic powder. Heat up in a pan stirring occasionally, and the turmeric turns it yellow. Once cooked add the secret ingredient: Black salt / kala namak, a salt with a strong sulfur taste (Do this at the end as heat destroys that taste).

For fried: A mung bean-based liquid mix like Just Egg. If you don’t want to pay the vegan tax for a bottle of Just it’s easy and cheap to diy in the kitchen, lots of recipes out there.

For baking: A tapioca and starch-based mix like Bob’s Red Mill egg replacer.

I used to have apparently atrocious credit due to delaying payments on my student loans for years. But with proof of income it didn’t stop me from getting apartments in NYC. In the last place I asked the broker what my credit score was and while he wasn’t at liberty to tell me he did say “Not good. But it’s all student debt related which we don’t consider relevant”. Still seems weird to me today but I guess landlords often don’t consider student debt to be a reflection of a tenant’s ability to pay rent. Probably because most people prioritize paying for shelter over paying for the classes in their past.

WTF is Reddit?

Seriously though get off that site, it’s not good for you.

…Dad? Haha I’m about to hit 40 and shitcoins are my brainy boomer dad’s hobby.

Only if you act like one. You’ve got a great body, just make sure your mind and actions match! Learn to love yourself first, and others will follow.

They need an appropriate array of vitamins, nutrients, and calories to stay alive. The way they do this naturally is to eat meat, but it’s not the meat specifically that they need.

Taurine and arginine are amino acids, building blocks for proteins, not proteins themselves. Animo acids are quite ubiquitous across life, not specific to any one type of life. eg Plants contain both taurine and arginine.

meat proteins

Proteins are chains of amino acids. There are probably proteins specific to animal muscle, but misguided legislation notwithstanding it’s the amino acids that are nutritionally required, not any specific protein configuration of those animos, and you can get those from a massive array of non-animal sources.

Before I was vegan I had a girlfriend who wanted an “emotional support cat”. I was uncomfortable with the idea and resisted for a while but eventually we got a rescue cat. Then we broke up and I kept the cat. I love her and she’s sleeping in her bed next to me on my desk as I type this. I’m one of probably hundreds of likely scenarios where a vegan ends up with a pet despite agreement with the ethical issues.

Lol I edited my reply to add mention of the odd racial qualifiers just as you wrote the same. Microblog format seems to encourage weird and inaccurate racial group roundup phrases like that. Black american men absolutely do this shit too.

The phrases (And the totally unnecessary racial qualifiers) may be but I’m pretty sure men are conditioned to suppress their emotions anywhere there’s patriarchy, which is most places these days.

Aren’t we all?

How the hell have we not taken PGE public? What the hell is wrong with us, why do we tolerate this self-harm? Almost all other electric utilities on the west coast are public, what on god’s green Earth is our malfunction? I hate on PGE like anyone else but at the end of the day this is our fault as Portlanders and Oregonians for not organizing and taking control of our essential services.

“It is both true that as a society our energy needs have increased and it is also true that Forest Park is a highly valued environmental resource,” Childs wrote. “This land use case however, is about facts, not feelings.”

…Did she really just paraphrase a thought-terminating cliche from Ben Shapiro in her decision…? What a clown. This isn’t about facts or feelings, this is about PGE’s refusal to just spend the money to route power transmission around protected land. This is truly fucking insane and if Portlanders actually care about their forest they need to keep escalating this up to and including direct action. Our residential power bills have gone up like 200% in the past few years in the name of funding a green energy transition. Hey PGE, why don’t you use some of that cash pile we’ve been forking over to you on some concern for actual greenery??

For those of you who still use mainstream social media, the headline for reposting this should be “Portland hearings officer Marisha Childs paraphrases Ben Shapiro in decision allowing PGE to cut down Forest Park”.

I’m not done ranting. It’s shit like that you point at when you need glaring proof that we do not live in a democracy. None of us have any real legal say in this matter, despite living here, despite using and caring about the land that will be affected. PGE’s desires here are wildly unpopular in the location those desires would affect, and despite the fact that this location is their main customer base, despite the fact that there are viable and obvious alternatives, they can still get their way. When the only way that a community can achieve the rational and desired outcome is to abandoned the institutions established oestensibly for that purpose and work outside of and in direct opposition to them, then those institutions are not democratic.

What the fuck is a “hearings officer”??? Where is the community vote on what happens to their park?

The browser project dedicated to open web standards steered by a compromised non-profit or the browser project dedicated to undermining the traditional web browsing experience steered by the largest advertising company on Earth … Let me think …

Fair I have zero experience owning a boat. However, if I bought a boat for $10K and my annual upkeep was only $1K I’d certainly be thrilled.

NYTimes is the quintessential epitome of the sort of middling liberal apologetics that funnel a society toward fascism. They aren’t friends, they’re a mouthpiece for money.

“Genius kid”? I really dislike the unnecessary and unqualified exoticization. He’s a smart kid, with access to time and resources. The sort of time and resources that any kid - Any person, really - With an interest should have access to. We’d have a lot more “geniuses” in the world if that were the case.

IIRC the rule of thumb for boat costs, is that annual upkeep costs for a boat are roughly the purchase price of the boat.
