We unfortunately live in a two-party system. If these alienated voters are being forced to choose between the transphobe, or someone who wants to systematically eradicate trans people, I hope those alienated voters wisen the fuck up real quick.

At that point, their noble protest vote (or abstinence from voting) does nothing but make the world a worse place. Learn to fight for progress, instead of kneecapping everyone else from being able to do so because your candidate doesn't toe the line with literally every single one of your values.

Omg. Yeah. I would never attempt to extract it myself. It's just bone broth at that point for me.

I use it to make edible gummies. You can't taste the gelatin at all. It's a cup of fruit juice, a cup of infused oil, 10 drops of flavoring oil, 5 packs of gelatin powder, and a small pack of flavored gelatin.

It's just tastes fruity and wonderful. I don't get any meaty taste, and I'm using arguably more gelatin than most people would.

Yeah. Terrine is a better generalized word for it.

More sense? I don't agree with you. Gelatin is a blank slate. Has pretty much zero flavor and can take on the taste of pretty much whatever you put into it. It gels up. That's pretty much it, it's up to you to decide what you want to do with it.

That said, it's very versatile cooking ingredient. Is great in soups and stocks. Making gummies. Making gels, custards, pudding. It's great as a binder. Not a great emulsifier, but you can do it with enough blending, however it breaks at higher temperatures.

Terrine in general is fantastic as charcuterie. I'd be totally fine with head cheese. I get that the process is gross, but it tastes great. Kind of like pate.

The whole process of farm to table is gross if you think about it.

You started off by saying that you would physically attack someone that leans in the same direction as you because "being called a liberal". Your started this entire thread off in a pretty negative way. Why are you surprised you got pretty negative responses to it?

I wasn't being mean to you because your a socialist, I was being mean because you were being a general asshole much like every other ML socialist I've ever interacted with.

You guys need to remember the Golden Rule. Treat other people the way you want to be treated. You want people to respect you? Then try being nicer and more respectful to others. This isn't complicated.

Oh, they have their own memes, comics, famous users/posters, copypasta, etc, except it feels more like your stuck on r/all with a smaller userbase. Comments are, I believe still locked at 140 characters, so conversation is severely limited. It was fun - I was an Imgur user for several years before I realized that Reddit was really everything I wanted from Imgur. Literally haven't gone back since I switched to Reddit about 10 years ago

Look, a tankie doing tankie things, like frothing at the mouth about attacking people for confusing you with a liberal. Mate, most people could not tell you the difference between an ML Socialist vs a progressive vs liberal. You'd be surprised how many people that ML Socialists have driven off that likely would have been open to their ideas. With ML socialists it's either your as left as I am or you're the enemy to my progress.

It's funny, you can see direct evidence of how much people don't even want to have to deal with socialists/communists just based on how much the fediverse blocks them and defederates from them. Stop being assholes. You want people to like you and join your cause? Stop being arrogant, antisocial, elitist pricks.

Eh...like, don't get me wrong, I'm a rabid progressive...but those guys? The ML Leftists? They scare the shit out of me. Like, they'd go full Red August and be totally fine with it.

Is the US, you can easily find Hookah bars all around our cities and suburbs. It's mostly a young person thing, but yeah....not an uncommon thing around here at least.

Well, everyone is DEI if they aren't a white man. The only people that should be employed in high-status jobs (according to the far-right) are white men. Anyone else that worked to get to that position, didn't work anywhere near as hard as a white man... They were essentially given that position because they, again, aren't white men.

As a white man, these other white men have some frail egos and need to simmer down. The only thing that they have in their pathetic lives that they feel has any value is the color of their skin and the tube of meat they have dangling between their legs. They need to get over themselves and realize the world is a better place when we are multicultural.
