I was posting on chapo as a teen while I was somewhat of a lib but had read a decent amount of theory. Tried chapo.chat back in the day, but it just wasn’t active enough for my tastes at the time. Ended up staying on Reddit for a while after the ban, fully internalized the theory after a few years without realizing it. Left Reddit during the whole third party app debacle and ended up on Blahaj zone. When I saw the Hexbear comments on there, I knew I had to come over now because it felt like the libs over there just became completely unhinged after Ukraine.

I’ve never met you before, but you’re still the reason I’m reading Trans Liberation now so thanks for that

I would absolutely love to be a part of this if it ever happened. The absolute dream

I mean, I’ve said this to all my lib friends and it’s made them step back a little bit because they all realize it’s true.

Obviously I don’t support Trump, but there was a very strong energy in me that wanted Trump to win. The biggest reason being that if Kamala won, normal people would stop caring. As everybody on here says, everybody would have just gone back to brunch if Kamala won. Trump is radicalizing. Whether that’s left or right depends on the person, but Trump’s rhetoric will radicalize people

I’m sorry, it sounds like you’ve been having a really rough time. Alcohol is a difficult one to put down, I’m proud of you for having the strength to go back to rehab. Everything sucks now, but the longer you maintain sobriety the more worth it it becomes. Best of luck friend.

Why do I love Luce so much?

Saw this and commenting on it so I don’t get any more questions, this was not me. I wish I had that much money to try to donate, but I’m living paycheck to paycheck right now. I plan on donating some on Friday, but I really don’t need any more DMs asking why I did this for something I have nothing to do with

I still cry thinking about the time I posted on mutual aid needing money to keep my ex’s nephew out of foster care and the people on here sent enough to get him a Halloween costume and lice treatment after the court costs? This place is my safe space

I checked out all the gofundmes even though I don’t have the money to donate right now, holy shit I’m bawling you guys. This website has done so much good for the world it’s almost overwhelming

What symbol are you using instead of S? I’ve never seen that before

Neither party is particularly good on climate change, so there’s no reason for it to be a voting issue. Those who actually care about the environment also see that the Dem solutions are useless and only succeed in not being climate accelerationism. Younger generations really care about climate change, to the point it’s a main political issue. But neither candidate is doing anything compelling enough to be a voting issue.

I’m not voting, and I’ll promise you that Kamala’s better views on climate change do nothing to contribute any confidence to vote for her

I ended up handing out candy in a friend’s parent’s house. People don’t trick or treat at apartments and it makes me so sad. But it was nice to hand out candy to kids this year, especially because I’m young enough to know just how to fuck with them lol

Why must the thing I want to try never be available in bumfuck middle of nowhere, US

I’ve heard great things about nooch and definitely want to add it to my cabinet. I’ve had nooch popcorn when I’m really high, but that’s about it.

I’d love to try nooch Doritos

I have a pretty good reason for this. A vegan friend of mine made a big deal about soy sauce once, and gave me the bottle of coconut aminos specifically for me to try vegan stuff. I wasn’t going to do some “umm… acktyually” shit on a vegan friend when I myself wasn’t vegan, so I’ve just been taking her word for it for the past few years 😭

I’ll have to try the Shepard’s Pie! It’s one of my favorite dishes with meat, I’m very open to a vegetarian/vegan option for it.

I also need to try Chai with almond milk. I’ve done it with oat milk before, but I’m curious if almond milk makes it better. I could see the thinness of it really helping with the delicateness I associate with Chai

I’m looking into it and can’t find an example of a specifically non-vegan soy sauce, it seems most of them are vegan. I find it odd that so many websites warn about certain ingredients manufacturers can add without any examples.

I respect that a lot, it’s personally how I try to enjoy food separate from work. There’s just part of me that wants complete parity in what I’m serving. I used to work at a restaurant that served DISGUSTING frozen black bean burgers (nothing wrong with bean burgers, this one just sucked ass) and I genuinely hated sending it out to any vegans who ordered a burger. I just want everybody to get good food, so I put a lot of pressure on myself trying to make sure everything tastes how I want it to now. But knowing that perspective definitely makes me more comfortable with not having perfect parity between the two menus.

I think I wanna give some soy nuggets a try. I’ve been trying to move away from meat more, but allergies make it really difficult and scary. Especially with a meat like chicken, there’s not really much culinary reason not to replace it. Plus I’m even allergic to chicken on random occasions so finding a replacement for that would be good.

I looked into the soy sauce thing, and I think I see where my friend got it. We live in the midwest, where soy sauce selection is scarce. Kikkomen is pretty much the best choice around here, which while it is vegan, it’s also just not a very good soy sauce. The other options, I assume weren’t vegan, because apparently certain manufacturers just find a way to make it non-vegan, which sucks ass. Speaking of that, I need to check if the soy sauce at work is vegan, I’ve been working under the assumption that it isn’t. I’d rather be overcautious than accidentally serve a vegan something non-vegan yk?

Western soy sauce just isn’t that good though. I live in the midwest, we have 3 options for soy sauce at the supermarket, and they’re (Kikkomans, PF Changs, or La Choy) just mid, if that was the only soy sauce I could use I’d definitely feel like I’m missing out. I’d much rather just get coconut aminos and not worry about the brand because it’ll taste better anyways

I’ll have to try chili with lentins sometime! I haven’t tried lentils in a really long time, they got really expensive where I live right when I started having an interest in trying it again. I can definitely fuck with some vegan chili though. Anybody who isn’t a beanpilled chilicel has simply lost their minds
