  • You don’t need to eat rice and ramen (tho I do love me some…). Turkeys around Tgiving in the us are stupid cheap, pork butts smoke easily (you can even cheat and do them in a standard oven), and cheap beef makes great stew for less than $1/meal. Fish can be affordable too, if that’s your thing.

    How come all your cheap alternatives to rice and ramen are corpse? Are those the only options for frugal people, to have rice and ramen or to be a murderer?



  • But why would someone pay for the software if the seller is not adding any value to to product?

    A: the mistaken belief that the seller is adding value, even in the face of all evidence, which is caused by a capitalist tendency to believe that all prices are inherently just

    B: disbelief in the idea of anything worthwhile being free, which is caused by the capitalist tendency to attack the free exchange of goods and services.










  • It's sad and hilarious that people hear "zero waste" and think "I need to take aaaaall my cans to the recycling center and compost my scraps", when the waste that is actually destroying the biosphere is the exhaust from your car. If we're talking about "doing lower waste", the first priority is to stop driving a car. Recycling bottles and composting scraps is the thing we can afford to do imperfectly. But not cars, ditching cars is the big important thing and the first step to sustainability.

  • Yeah, I'm really looking forward to moving off Discord. The username change made the biggest difference to me, I lost the last of my trust in them to keep making user friendly decisions at that moment. But regardless of trust, my polycule needs a tool to differentiate headmates, and Discord is the only platform that has that so far. I know because I've looked. We'll switch when a pluralkit equivalent is available
