Finally some good fucking news

i am, cryying;

my little cousin confidently declared that mother nature had a counterpart named daddy electric and i feel like this concept needs to be explored

Daddy Electric and Mother Nature sounds like a cute 70s act

Not a big Mortal Kombat guy (as much as I love the uber-cheesy 90s techno album) but a while back I realized I had enough component parts to do a closet cosplay of Johnny Cage and filed that away. When they announced that Ghostface from Scream would be joining MK1, I realized that this would be a great opportunity to re-use my homemade Ghostface cosplay (did I never do a dedicated post for that on here? whoops) and do a duo with my own dang self! Easy and fun to edit together with a tripod and a timer.

And playing online fighting games on the Switch? Johnny you were asking for it

“Meatless alternatives are getting so good, you should try them! I bet you wouldn’t even be able to tell the difference! In fact….”

Please

Please

Please stop trying to sneak-feed me meat alternatives.

I am willing to prepare and share a vegan meal with you, I’m willing to skip animal products in our group spaces.

Please.

Stop trying to sneak-feed me meat alternatives.

Mycoprotein is fucking cool, vat-grown meat is fucking cool, believe me I am fucking down for figuring out efficient calories and I’m interested in attempting to reduce or eliminate animal agriculture but you wouldn’t want me to sneak-feed you cricket flour, you don’t get to sneak-feed me your stuff.

I wouldn’t mind if you snuck-fed me cricket flour, actually. If cricket flour is indistinguishable from regular flour then sure, go for it.

I really don’t know what the initial gripe is about, though. The anonymous person you quote is not trying to sneak-feed you anything. They outright say “meatless alternative.” Is your problem that they may have GMOs? I genuinely have no idea what your complaint is, because you’re talking about people sneak-feeding you meatless stuff but your pics are all about GMO corn starch or whatever.

I have celiac disease and a corn allergy and a relative who wanted to try to pass off impossible burger as ground beef to prove how good meat alternatives are.

I don’t care about “gmo” and I dont care about the fact that it’s “textured protein” I care about “corn” and “wheat” and I care that people without food allergies rarely know how inescapable some of those allergens are.

“Oh, I checked the ingredients, it doesn’t have corn”

Okay but does it have maltodextrin, modified food starch, xanthan gum, caramel coloring, dextrose, or glucose syrup?

If it does have any of those things do they specifically say “from potatoes,” “from tapioca,” “from cane sugar” or “from rice”?

If it didn’t did you check the manufacturer’s website? If that didn’t say did you call the manufacturer?

Sometimes I’ll use almond or coconut flour as a replacement for wheat flour when I’m cooking. I do not try to pretend that my alternate flour chocolate chip cookies are wheat flour chocolate chip cookies because most people don’t expect to run into coconut or almond when they pick up a chocolate chip cookie. I don’t try to hand them to people, wait for them to eat a cookie, and say “hah, bet you didn’t think gluten free cookies could taste good, huh?” because if I did that to someone with a severe allergy it could kill them, but also because people should have a say in what they’re eating.

I’ve got no problem with beyond beef or impossible burger describing their products as meat alternatives, I’ve got no problem with GMOs or the fact that quorn is made out of a heavily engineered protein. That’s all very neat, actually.

But I do have a problem with people trying to sneakily serve meat alternatives without considering that doing so is shitty for a number of reasons.

Also, insect protein can cause severe reactions to people with shellfish allergies, so that’s another reason not to feed cricket flour to people without telling them.

None of this is about health or sustainability, it's a cult for sociopaths who desire control over others.

Huge shout to my friend from an undergraduate philosophy program who started working out every single day, not for health benefits or to become conventionally attractive or whatever, but because -- and this is a direct quote -- he was concerned that otherwise he might "become lost in the world of signs and forget the things they signify". I have thought about this every single time that I've worked out since.

G.K. Chesterton would be on Tumblr. Lewis and Tolkien and the rest of them would scorn Tumblr, probably they’d have classy Patheos blogs or something, but G.K. Chesterton would definitely be on Tumblr. Gleefully having it out with SJWs and antis alike, reblogging relatable text posts with no punctuation or capital letters. Adding gifs to things. Writing lengthy posts about the theological implications of memes. Using some avatar he made on Powerpuff Yourself.

“It has been said that one does not simply walk into Mordor. In fact the opposite is true. A man must have simplicity–the sunny and absurd simplicity of a child–if he is to walk anywhere at all. One does not without simplicity walk to the corner-grocer’s; for simplicity implies a certain refinement of thought which prevents paralysis. A man burdened with complexities may not brave Mordor; he may not brave the simple act of standing on his own feet: a simple man can simply walk into Paradise, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” - sample Tumblr post by G.K. Chesterton

This is perfection

Some photos of tributes to David Lynch that I’ve been collecting these past few days.

Rest in peace, David Lynch 🖤 The best to ever do it.
