I'm not just saying mean things. I'm reporting their presence to local online communities. I am a delivery driver so I see them out and about. Fuck ICE.

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

I plan on getting a job after a year or so of unemployment, like it for a few months, then hate it, get burnt out, and get fired after 1.5 years. So, you know, the usual.

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.

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.

We have Bone and All scheduled for tonight and gonna play catch up with Scream 6 and Final Destination 5 later this week since our marathon got screwed up after we bought Borderlands 3 lol.

If you haven't watched it, Bones and All is a pretty original take on cannibalism, as a metaphor for addiction.

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.

Prairie makes a colab with Evil Twin(I think) called Bible Belt that is one of the best stouts I've ever had. It's boozy AF and pricy but if you haven't tried it, seek it out.

I'm a craft beer nerd. I'm huge into IPAs but can agree that the market has become oversaturated. But I genuinely like most other styles as well.

I've recently gotten back into a red wine kick after finding out that Ménage à Trois is vegan so yay for cheap but good wine that isn't filtered with animal parts.

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.

I'm learning Kotlin/Jetpack Compose while I try and find a job and wanted to make a small app with just a few features as a soft goal/practice project. Just something that I could finish in hopes to keep me going.

Premise of the app:

I hate going out to eat and trying to explain what I can and can't eat. It's harder at restaurants where the server doesn't natively speak the same language as you. The idea is that you have a select list of common phrases(no meat, no dairy, no fish, etc) that you can translate into another language from a pre-defined list. I tried to cover most common that I could think of from what I might come across in the States. You can then show the list to the server to help pick vegan-friendly options. I do have gluten on there but that is just for the occasional overlap.

A few small bugs that I am aware of:

  • The UI doesn't scale well with Display Size settings in the phone's settings app. Large on up squishes the on screen buttons.
  • when hitting save, it goes back to Home but the navbar button for Languages stays highlighted. I think I just wrote that part incorrectly /shrug. It still functions though.

The app is free, I don't think it says on the Play Store that it's FOSS but I have the source codes on github.

You can get it from Play here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidhell.imveganbtw

And the github repo is here: https://github.com/AndroidHell/ImVeganBTW/tree/master/app/release

*this is the link to the .apk but it's still the repo. You can sideload it if you don't care for Play Store bullshit.

 
 

Basically the title. I made waffles on Sunday and grabbed the remainder of my already opened and partially consumed package of Morning Star sausages and ended up reading the ingredients. Discovered they have milk and egg in them... Lesson learned again that plant-based doesn't mean vegan. So now I am shopping around. I'm sad because they were cheaper than others and tasted good.

So what are your gotos for breakfast sausage-substitutes?

PS: I did see an article that they are in the process of going full vegan but that was from a few years ago.

Edit: Thanks for recs so far. I'm gonna go look at the ingreds of my other Morning Star stuff because now I'm scared lol

 

Shamelessly stolen from reddit 💀 💀

 

I haven't looked much into him yet but he checks a lot of good boxes.

Is he someone that leftists could back?

Is there any dirt that people have dug up that I'm not aware of?

If we wanted to champion him, could the leftist orgs unify and help him?

Do I sound like a dirty reformist(God pls no)????

Thoughts? Opinions?
