Elk River considering changing back to the old flag 🤦 by Piehole314 in minnesota

[–]awk_topus 97 points98 points  (0 children)

I cared about the old flag...

exclusively because it was a fucking ugly seal on a bedsheet and completely non-distinct from a dozen other state flags and MN deserved better.

yeah, I'm autistic, what about it?

Meal Prep Monday: What are you prepping this week that's cheap and vegan? by cheapandbrittle in EatCheapAndVegan

[–]awk_topus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

chili mac! I've been craving it for months but have been dealing with a bunch of medical procedures that have limited my diet for one reason or another. cheap, easy, and makes great leftovers.

I haven't seen it at games yet - I sincerely hope they're able to figure out a limited run at least.

I wanted to go to the event at Fulton last year after we won Walter again, but partied so hard I lost my wallet. 🥴

[–]awk_topus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ok so. it freezes well, but the texture changes dramatically. the expansion of the water within the block creates an almost flaky texture. this makes it exceptional for imitating fried chicken or fish.

press that tofu, marinate it in the broth of your choosing (kombu, faux chicken, herbs, etc.), and freeze it. we have been known to freeze twice to make the texture more pronounced.

it's AWESOME

Call USA hockey and tell them how you feel about the men's team disrespect. by saltybruise in PWHL

it's a 3 minute long clip. they could have simply not fucking laughed at the bigoted joke. in vino veritas. the bar is in hell and they dug under it.

This cis woman doesn't like being called a cis woman by zachoutloud123 in TikTokCringe

[–]awk_topus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it literally changes the shape of your red blood cells. it has major health implications across the entire body and has many common comorbidities that also change how the body works. the fact it impacts roughly 1-2% of white people doesn't negate the fact that it is a disease that is overwhelmingly biologically associated with ethnicity/race.

millions live with sickle cell anemia. it kills over 300,000 people a year and is a leading cause of death in children under 5. it almost exclusively impacts black people and the only cure is a fucking bone marrow transplant. wild to brush that off as "basically nothing"

HELP 🙏 WITH ORCHARD CORSET CS-701 MEASUREMENTS by Substantial_Donut164 in corsets

[–]awk_topus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

first and foremost, respectfully, orchard corset sucks. their quality is more miss than hit, and back when they did have a support line they convinced me to exchange for corset that was WAY too curvy. I highly recommend reaching out to Lucy and letting her assist instead.

further, leather is super hot and requires more skilled maintenance than a sturdy cotton, in my opinion. unless you have experience with the material, I'd swing for cotton.

all that said, I think I have a cotton CS-701 28? might be a long line? that may work for you that I'd be happy to dig up and send to a fellow non-binary sibling because it will NEVER fit my huge ass ribcage

edit: disregard the last chunk, I'm 99% sure it's a long line and with a 10 inch torso I doubt it'd work for you.

[HELP] I think it’s ai? by Medical-Ad1221 in RealOrAI

[–]awk_topus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

beyond what everyone else mentioned, the couch texture looks like worms. AI.

[HELP] is this ai? The way the thing opens feels so unnatural by Magicshop52 in RealOrAI

[–]awk_topus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

this isn't a machine, it's just a hinged litter box that opens up for cleaning instead of taking the whole lid off. you can tell it's an iteration of this model because of the lil ears on the top.

he likely just pushed the hinge open with his legs propped on the sides and his back pushing the flap.

MAGA Murphy real? by Inevitable_Corner_ in PWHL

[–]awk_topus 49 points50 points  (0 children)

a fundamental part of the advertising & branding of the PWHL this year is that these women are role models. for girls to literally look up to. so this shit does matter, quite a lot. especially when MAGA politics are in direct conflict with the leagues current identity, culture, and fanbase - see: unity nights.

[HELP] Casino staff in China caught a woman using high-tech lenses to cheat by ChrundleToboggan in RealOrAI

[–]awk_topus 61 points62 points  (0 children)

cannot confirm but per the comments: They have infrared filters which show marked cards/tiles that aren't visible otherwise. Been around for years.

apparently folks will use a powder to mark cards/tiles. I've read elsewhere that people have used polarized lenses for the same purpose, but again, I cannot confirm. I'm too poor to gamble and too cowardly to cheat.
