You are tedious. Purity policing like this is how you blow up coalitions. You know exactly how that person meant what they wrote given the context and you chose to start a dogpile anyway, and when they tried to explain you doubled and tripled down on the least charitable read possible.

I got it to tell me by asking it to list presidents with felony convictions (it only came up with one)

Textured vegetable protein, aka textured soy protein, soya chunks, maybe a couple other names. It’s basically the part of the soy left over after they extract the oil out of it. It takes on the flavor of whatever you put in it. When it’s dry it has a shelf life of a couple years or so. And it’s hella cheap, a pound of it is under 4 bucks around where I live.

That’s not what the original commenter was saying and I’m not sure how you got there.

Well it’s not trans people I can tell you that much.

They’ve already impeached him twice.

i dont think that’s what they were saying at all

Its just a base, I buy whatever produce is cheap and mix it in. Jalapeños and cilantro are a couple of my favorites. Trying to eat just this would probably give you scurvy lmao.

I want to chime in and say that while my meal prep won’t win any blue ribbons, rice plus TVP is my MVP. It’s cheap because it’s a diversion of defatted soy flour, which is otherwise used as animal feed (so demand won’t drive prices up long term, the price actually goes down if it gets more popular). TVP is 50% protein by weight, and its digestibility is remarkably similar to beef.

I use it in a ~1:2 ratio with rice by dry weight. Actually here’s my recipe:

• 2.5c (460g) white rice, dry
• 3c (280g) TVP, dry
• 2 cans of any kind of bean, preferably low sodium
• 2.5 tsp beef base, again preferably low sodium
• 2 packets of taco seasoning (you guessed it, preferably low sodium)
• 1.3L of water total

1. Start the rice
2. Rehydrate TVP by mixing 1:1 with boiling water, beef base, and taco seasoning in heatproof bowl. Stir thoroughly and let it sit until the rice is done.
3. Combine with drained beans
4. Portion and freeze for up to 90 days.
5. Reheat from frozen in a microwave for 3min or on auto with a little water.
6. Mix in 1 tbsp of butter or oil. if you do not do this it will taste like shit, this is the only fat in the entire recipe

Buying in bulk at Winco, the total cost per batch is $6.29 here in the PNW. Divvy it up into 9 portions and that’s $0.70/serving.

You fear the microplastic because it is in your flesh. I worship the microplastic because it is inevitable. From the moment I understood etc etc

I hadn’t taken note of who made this post. Whoops lol. That being said he also didn’t make the image, I’ve seen that exact meme posted elsewhere. I’m not sure SMCF believes in anything other than pissing off Lemmy.

No, I completely agree with your comment, liberal capitalism has largely failed to deliver on its promises. I just don’t think the posted image itself is a defense of capitalism. It’s taking the piss out of people who blame everything on neoliberalism, which is a different thing from saying capitalism isn’t bad.

3 years on and its going well, I think:

Oh and they lost the world cup

So true queen. What did you think about the post tho?

I, for one, welcome our cetacean overlords.

They definitely exist. They’re even more obnoxious, too, its like a 55" display that loops tiktok style content. I’ll find a photo and report back.

Edit: these sumbitches

well they are criminals who took a fat shit on the Constitution, ruined our international goodwill, gave elon musk unfettered access to sensitive government systems, killed USAID, started a war, poisoned the food supply, made energy so much more expensive that even “apolitical” people are starting to notice, willingly work with pedophiles, and more.

They are flagrantly incompetent and corrupt. If it’s not hard for them to win in '28 we should just pack it all up and nuke ourselves.

I know I’m preaching to the choir here and Thiel is never going to read this but holy fuck. The wealthy do not live in reality.

I’m curious about your power budget. Does that include appliances like water heater, fridge, etc? Or is it just for smart devices?

I’m really impressed by your efficiency. My router alone draws over half your budget. Add the cable modem and a 5GbE switch and that takes me 50% overbudget. And that’s just network infrastructure. With everything else in my apartment I’m probably somewhere around 800w, pessimistically.

This is the second time you posted it in this thread even lmao

Is that a model m?
