That’s honestly so adorable.

I know how dangerous bears can be but it’s hard not to look at that photo and not be in awe at how cute they look all hanging out on the tree together. Just hope their presence in the area didn’t cause any major safety issues for too long.

Look dude, Imma be blunt, but this take has got to be one of the dumbest takes I think I’ve ever seen regarding politics.

You really think there wouldn’t be any consequences at all for just culling 100 million people off the face of the Earth? That’s more than every single death in World War II.

Russia and the world is lucky to not have you as the leader of China because frankly your username matches the quality of the take.

I’ve bought them premade before, but it’s also just a thing about diet and questions on if making them at home are any cheaper than buying them premade.

I’ve noticed the premade frozen ones at the store have a lot of sodium in them, and while I’m not specifically on a low-sodium diet, I also want to make sure I’m keeping things balanced. Making the burgers from scratch at home allows for me to theoretically control how much sodium is in the burgers.

But yeah, in terms of cost, assuming I find a recipe that holds together well, I think it’d be worth finding how the costs compare between the individual ingredients to make them at home, vs the cost of them premade, especially if I can then substitute the black beans for other beans that happen to be on sale like Red Kidney beans or Navy beans.

To give a direct answer, familiarity honestly. While I would want to move towards even having poultry less, it’s just a thing of acquainting myself with recipes and whatnot and finding ones that work for me.

Attempted making bean burgers for example, and they turned out becoming more like sloppy joes, so trying to get things to work out without having to make them each day ha. Trying to challenge myself to use a binding ingredient that isn’t eggs. I got flax seeds since it was recommended before in a convo, but kinda lost on how to properly use them as a binder.

Also idk how much it helps, but being lactose intolerant has greatly reduced the amount of dairy I have, so I tend to go with products based on plant-based alternatives with the only exception being cheese the few times I have it since the texture and mouth feel of vegan cheese just doesn’t match what I’m comfortable with.

Yeah, aware of the fact that meat tends to be a big issue with carbon emissions and environmental sustainability. While I’m not *currently* planning on being vegan, I’m definitely cutting out beef and pork and replacing them with chicken and fish for the time being for both diet and environmental reasons.

Overall trying to reduce the amount of meat I eat regardless, and I’m glad that’s been an easy change so far.

Yeah, no, completely personal use. Not anything I’d be posting or publishing anywhere.

Still want something that specifically generates stories from images.

Funny seeing this around now.

Was looking into trying to find an AI to make stories from images, since I have to deal with the unfortunate reality that for a fandom I like, just about all the fanfic is unbelievably badly written to the point that an AI does a better job making interesting stories. I know they exist, just a question of where the ones that work are.

Simple ask you’d think wanting to find shit that generates stories from images. Search engines hardly helped, so it was like, fine, I’ll ask an AI about AI. Surely it’ll help me find the tool I need, right?

Somehow the results it gave me were worse than the search engine itself.

Gotta say, as someone who identifies as a progressive, she’s really been beating my expectations compared to what she was saying and doing back in the 2020 primaries.

Dope! Thanks for the info. I’ll be sure to join it then.

Who could have ever seen this coming?

Okay but seriously, it’s not like the IDF hasn’t been dehumanizing Palestinian lives for as long as we can remember. They were literally purposely shooting the legs of peaceful protestors during The Great March of Return in 2018 let alone the shit that’s happened since October 7th.

Curious as to what the breakdown would be by state.

Not denying this, but can I see a source for that? This is the first time I’ve heard of this as someone in Canada and would like to learn more, though can’t say this surprises me unfortunately.
