  • I’ve been looking into this air fryer / self-stirring cooking pot “Delonghi Multifry”. Could work to get it mixed with butter while air frying.

    Although I’m mostly thinking about air frying breaded chickpeas, noodles / spätzle, gnocchi and potatoes. Not to save on oil mind you, just to avoid having to get off my ass and stir the pan all the time.


  • You’re not wrong. Obama won because he was a corporatist and easily manipulated and ran on empty slogans, so he had the backing of the mainstream. Harris did too, but AOC won’t have that backing.

    That also means she could run on actual popular policies. Something Trump did. His voters now kinda got the same scam with him than the progressives got with Obama lol.

    But there is deeply entrenched propaganda in the media and the minds of people. Like you’d need a movement that comes together. But you can see the liberals in this thread would balk at any tankie demanding and end to US or EU imperialism lol, just like they will balk at putting another women on the ticket.

    Well, all I saw was a young, beautiful, extremely “breedable” women. To be fair I did not know about the gay meme beforehand, but again, that context is stripped here anyway. So not everybody knows the original meme. And that “breedable” would by exclusion be associated with the gorgeous Emilia Clarke on some level (subconscious / emotional - no “thinking” required). My assertion doesn’t rely on her most famous role either.

    So just because a majority is downvoting me doesn’t mean I’m incorrect in asserting that this is a (somewhat) misogynist meme. I also don’t think people are misogynist here, I just think they are fucking morons.

    Of course it doesn’t matter much anyway. The rise of fascism is unstoppable now and women are going back to the kitchen and in the bedroom to breed. And the gays will be used as kindling - no offense, they just “stand out”, you know? It’s nothing personal, but for the engine of capitalism to continue, the belief in inequality has to be shifted from class to identity. And that requires a lot of hard work!

    I’m not being incredibly serious in my replies because frankly, people are fucking idiots. But this is a serious issue. The joke in OP, to get your brother to say something incredibly sexist, yeah it’s funny. But it’s also shit that the ruling fascists would say unironically, with legal force. Adriana Smith might be dead, but she’s still definitely fucking “breedable”. You think they won’t try to get the supreme court to define a women’s role as being a sacred duty to breed? Not because of ideology, but because having access to oppressed and exploitable minority is awesome for profits.

    Anyway lol

    MEME FYI: Essentially, submissive and breedable is meant to be an absurd, funny term of endearment, especially when used towards men, who might not particularly take the terms “submissive” or “breedable” as compliments in a traditional sense. It’s often used in the LGBTQ+ community and towards more effeminite men, including femboys like F1nnster, to compliment them on looking, well, submissive and breedable.

    Except, this context is missing in this meme, here it is associated with a girl portraying a character that was sold as part of a deal to be bred with. It is no longer absurd or flipping gender roles. That was her value, being breedable. It doesn’t matter who stamets is, same rules apply. Memes mutate and change. Your body my choice.

    In the original context it is funny because it is absurd, they are men joking among each other knowing they don’t breed, and they are also not in danger of being used as sex slaves powerful men. It’s funny because we live in a post-homophobic, post-misogynist and post-racial world. They even shut down the f*****-suicide prevention hotline recently because it was no longer needed!

    You can criticize me for using the completely goonerified word “edging” because that is just triggering. I thought it was clever since words have power precisely because they have hidden meaning.

    It’s called edging. You continually push “edgy” funny jokes because they are so crass and rebellious that you eventually arrive at the wonderful magnificent fascist USA we have today. That’s how gamer culture took over the white house.

    I mean sometimes you can just not say an offensive word, even if you think it’s funny.






  • Well I believe the government had to clamp down on opposition because they actually are in league with the imperialist side of the US and want a coup and overthrow democracy in Venezuela. I don’t think they falsified the results, until I see actual evidence, and not just claims of having evidence by the lying US.

    It’s similar to Iran: The guardian council was established to prevent coup attempts by e.g. the CIA. Election interference creates a legacy of problems. Many countries in the world can’t have a free democracy because the US can bring such a huge influence to bear. The USA deserve to be hated by many people of the earth. The US experienced that kind of interference the first time in 2016.

    But my point is that if your country is under siege by a hostile foreign power you have to hold fast and prevent the take over at any cost. This is where crackdowns and oppression become less black and white and the use of force and violence is an imperative.

    The Venezuelan government has been remarkably calm and measured though. They didn’t even arrest Juan Guaidó who clearly is a US puppet.
