Gotta say, I love reading the German memes in /all, even if I have a kindergarten-level understanding of German.

Miserere mei, Deus is one of the most beautiful vocal pieces I’ve ever heard. That descant soprano part is insane.

The best book I’ve read on religion is Small Gods by Terry Pratchett.

It offers criticism of religion and also perspective as to why people view it as a framework for interpreting the world.

Really? That sounds great, I love a bahn mi, but I’ve only had them with filleted pork or chicken. This is exactly why I asked, I love all the different ways of using such niche ingredients.

That makes sense, given the French influence in Vietnamese cuisine. There’s a large Vietnamese expat population where I live, I’ll have to try it out. Can’t wait!

I’ve never tried anchovy pase, and pairing it with dressing is something I’d never have considered. I might have to give it a go!

Left during the API thing, and everything I see confirms that I made the right choice.

Especially the fact that there are no investors to appease, no profit motive, and no advertising. It’s like a slice of the old web.

Hey, mister tambourine man

Play a song for me

I’m real stinky

And there is no place I’m goin’ to

Sekanjabin is an Iranian drink made of honey and vinegar, usually served in summer. It is sometimes seasoned with mint.

Delicious stuff. Vinegar drinks have been popular the world over since ancient times.

It’s frequently used as an excuse to berate “sinners,” with the excuse that they would want someone to confront them about their sins and lead them to Jesus.

A mandoline slicer makes the chopping much faster if you have one.

I like caraway seeds in mine.

I ferment on the top of my cabinets in a mason jar, then move to the fridge when it starts tasting right.

You’re right.

They’ll Thought They Were Free: The Germans 1933-45 is the best book I’ve read for understanding the rise of reactionary dictatorships.

From the reasons why people buy in to why they look the other way when atrocities are committed.

Reactionary ideology is all about hierarchy and assigning everyone to their proper place within it.

They want women to be baby factories instead of in the workforce where men belong.

They want those children obedient and knowing their place in the patriarchal structure; being a woman who wants an education or a trans woman or a man who believes in feminism is a slap in the face to the reactionaries, who think a person’s highest purpose is to stay in their place within society.

In other words, reactionary parents take it personally when you don’t want to be stuck in their assigned boxes.

You denied Musk’s obvious Nazi salute.

You don’t care about the truth or you’d look it up for yourself and find out this is real. Instead, you’ll continue to poison the well.

Have you looked into selling to reenactors?

They seem willing to pay for handcrafted stuff.

German chocolate is like a whole other food than the wax that Hershey’s pretends is the real thing.

Reactionary ideology is all about protecting privilege by demonizing marginalized people. They believe in zero-sum rights and privileges: in their view, expansion of rights for another group inherently means a loss of rights for them.

L’homme Arme is such a cool composition. I’d love to hear a more period-accurate version, but this one is pretty great anyway.

Wish I’d bought a bunch when they were on clearance.

There’s another user who replied to me who answered much better than I could.

Loading a program from disk on the Commodore 64

LOAD"*",8,1

I haven’t loaded a game on that system since I was probably 10 or so, but I’ll never forget the command.

I memorized it as L-O-A-D shift-2 star shift-2 comma eight comma one.
