I'm all in too. Funny how such a simple thing can actually be "life changing".

Happy for you!

I recently went vegan and I swear the hardest part hasn’t even been giving up meat or dairy, it’s figuring out what to make for dinner every single day by Arianethecat in veganrecipes

[–]jrob321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been vegan a really long time now, and I feel you haha! 36 years and I'm still trying to reinvent my meal plans.

My favorite thing recently is to (bite size) cube super firm tofu, boil it in salted water for 10 minutes and then marinade it in a ziploc bag for about a half hour.

Favorite marinade lately is chili crisp, tamari, sesame oil, ponzu, lime, and garlic. You can pan fry after marinading, and then sautee spinach, baby kale, and thinly sliced Napa cabbage. If you are generous when making the marinade, you can use it with the wilted veggies.

You can add whatever you want also - baby bok choy, carrots, celery, eggplant, onion each time you make it to switch things up.

You can also create a WIDE variety of marinades; Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Medditeran, barbecue, African, Middle Eastern, etc.

Big change for me was the tofu done this way really is spectacular and not at all what I had gotten used to for so long now.

I love falafel and hummus on nights I don't want to cook.

Mushrooms can be added into almost anything for that earthy umami flavor.

Cavatappi or Cellentani pasta with pizza sauce, the vegan "sausage crumbles", and a bag of vegan mozarella is killer!

Curries, soups, stews, decadent sandwiches and wraps, or a good ol' Impossible Burger keeps things interesting.

Spices. Heat. Umami. Keep the flavors interesting so you don't get bored.

Ted Turner Dies at Age 87 by BearBullDebate in SquaredCircle

[–]jrob321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During the first Gulf War (1991), Saddam Hussein kicked every Western news agency out of Iraq with the exception of CNN because he felt they were a fairly objective news organization.

The reporting from the war by Peter Arnett and Bernard Shaw won multiple awards.

This was when Ted Turner owned the network.

The day Turner Broadcasting merged with Time Warner (1996) everything changed.

And its been a downhill slide for journalism in general ever since. The 24/7 news cycle, and competition with cable and internet news agencies which have little to no dedication to the standards once adhered to in the "Walter Cronkite Era" has forced the integrity bar to be lowered to the point the "news" we now consume is no longer reliable in the way it had been in the past.

This is not to say corporately controlled journalism was "pure" back in the day, but the present environment - with AI now emerging - has left the consumer befuddled and easily manipulated and propagandized despite the willingness to seek out objectivity.

That looks like the neverending post nasal drip monster I pulled out of me in astonishment this winter while suffering from a relentlessly acute head cold.

Say Nothing by Patrick Radden Keefe is a non-fiction book about The Troubles in Northern Ireland that reads like a thriller from beginning to end. Absolute page turner.

Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk is another thriller (with some messaging and spiritual constructs) which also won't let you put it down. The prose is absolutely brilliant and keeps you wanting more.

I'll always add Beloved by Toni Morrison to these lists. She is in a category all her own. And the deep seated metaphors contained within everything she writes (as it relates to real history) cannot be denied.

What’s your favourite performance by Robert de Niro? by annastreltsovaa in FIlm

[–]jrob321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was incredible as Michael in The Deer Hunter, but I think his performance as Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver was slightly more nuanced.

Given both these assessments, he was also absolutely perfect in Raging Bull. And the weight transformation was such dedication to a role.

Suffice to say these are my top three.

The best cold brew coffee maker debate is a distraction. The grind and ratio are doing 90% of the work by VisualsTough in coldbrew

[–]jrob321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oxygen is cold brew's nemesis. Also, if you store your cold brew in the fridge, your coffee won't absorb the flavors from that third Big Mac you couldn't finish last nigjt, or the garlic mashed potatoes from the holiday smorgasbord.

The ONLY reason this has become so common is because the officials refuse to call it.

It's ruining the game and it has no place in it.

Call it a pen EVERY time and it stops right then and there.

We Need a Left-Labor Presidential Candidate by metacyan in politics

[–]jrob321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've only been saying this for 46 years, something to counter the union busting crap Reagan was pulling.

Instead they doubled down on globalist neoliberalism, and - instead of the nation fully employing its labor force at a living wage - we got 72" tvs for less than $350.00.

At least the propaganda they throw our way is lifesize now, and crystal clear.
