It’s judge arrests all the way down!

Thanks! The hardest part of taking the cabbage pancake train is that it means you’re not taking the scallion pancake train, and making yachaejeon instead! 🤭

But seriously, what do you use for a dashi replacement?

I was at my local Asian grocer looking for kelp dashi powder but couldn’t find any, so I ended up getting a vegan weipa (Chinese stock paste) instead. I haven’t made okonomiyaki in quite a while, so I don’t really have a good baseline to compare it to, but I thought it was pretty tasty.

I suppose the best idea would probably be making kombu shiitake dashi from scratch, which really isn’t that much more work.

Some people are just fine being horny on main, I guess. And hey, what’s wrong with a bit of free advertising? 😏

It definitely takes a bit more guts to do it under an oppressive regime, though.

I know you didn’t say this, but men aren’t a monolith. Young men aren’t responsible for their own upbringing or the society that they’ve co-inherited. They’re only responsible for how they react to it.

Simplifications like “you’ve all failed yourselves” is reductionist and not helpful, even if it were to be technically correct.

IMO, it’s all of our (societies’) responsibility to create opportunities for young men to express their fears and frustrations in a non-judgemental and constructive environment.

That means accepting and acknowledging the reality of the situation and how it might be emotionally challenging for them to deal with, and offering active listening and empathetic advice where warranted.

This issue isn’t unique to America, BTW. Look at SK and Japan for particularly advanced cases of this problem.

First off, I think I’d like to address the larger point of Lemmy’s toxicity.

I think Lemmy is quite unique in that while it is fairly progressive leaning, it also may be a rather poorly socialized overall. The whole selfhost/Linux community which is at the heart of Lemmy’s identity doesn’t exactly have a great track record of being super thoughtful in our communications.

There’s a persistent need to “be right” that is common here, because being intelligent and independent thinkers is part of our identity. But that can often manifest in toxic ways, and disrespectful communication. Many of us are trying our best to not give in to this toxicity, but it still does manifest regularly.

I think men’s lib spaces tend to be a bit more respectful because they acknowledge that the patriarchy affects them negatively as well, and this diminishes the hold of toxic competitiveness.

Anyways, enough about that, and on to your question.

IMO, the best way to be a good ally is to just participate earnestly. Part of being a man who acknowledges the damages of the patriarchy also makes it hard for them to be vocal participants in women’s spaces. That means that we often aren’t party to women’s perspectives, or don’t feel comfortable requesting more information, even though we genuinely appreciate your experiences and advice.

Women as a group seem to me to have a much stronger sense of camaraderie than men. The feminist movement is also much more developed as a resistance to patriarchal forces, whereas men’s lib doesn’t have nearly the same depth of development, as it’s a younger and less cohesive movement.

That’s why, just being present and willing to share your experiences and thoughts in an open manner is so beneficial.

Huh, I thought I was going crazy, but it appears I’m not the only one who thought so. All the sources I can find right now seem to say he’s going to be running a pretty big deficit. Although it seems like the capital expenditures budget is going to be where a significantly higher portion of the budget will be spent.

Maybe the cut was solely to operating expenditures, even though the total to expenditures was increasing?

You know what, I’m going to delete my post, because it was clearly misinformed. I’m certain I recall reading several articles stating that the Liberals intended to attempt to balance the budget by making cuts, but I can’t find any evidence to support that.

I’m not sure why I thought that, but regardless I appreciate the call out.

I don’t think that’s an extreme misrepresentation. Trump himself told them exactly what he was going to do, so there was certainly at least some amount of head-burrying-in-sand going on. The main message that was present on Lemmy but not in legacy media was that “Yes, he is in fact going to do what he says he will.”

There were two possibilities: either you thought he was a doddering idiot that wasn’t going to follow through on anything he said, in which case why in the nine hells would you choose him as your president? Or, he was going to do exactly what he said, in which case, why in the nine hells would you choose him as your president?

The problem is that most of the people who voted for him were being selectively optimistic about what he would and wouldn’t do. They let him be everything to everyone, and just hand-waved the glaring problems away.

I don’t know how you can fix this massive self delusion issue without fixing education and teaching people to think critically, but education has been under attack for nearly as long as I can recall in the US.

That said, I agree this whole “I told you so” attitude isn’t particularly useful, it certainly is cathartic, though.

Sure, but now the shit-taker wants a favour from the shit-reciever who is having none of it until the shit is cleaned up. So now we get to watch the shit-taker squirm and writhe while they try to figure out how to untake their shit without looking like the complete idiot that they clearly are.

Error prone, yes, oddly so, no.

Google is happy to keep showing you ads while you flounder about with their useless result. It’s their business to waste as much of your time as they can, but not quite so much that you use a different service.

I think you should re-read my comment. “You” is both a specific and general pronoun.

It’s generally good to try and be charitable when interpreting what others have written.

If you can’t even be arsed to explain your issue or at the very least provide a link to the context, I’m not going to go hunting for it.

YDI by default. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeeaahh… You’re going to need to post a little more context than that…

Life… uh… finds a way.

Can confirm. As someone who tried to learn 3d modeling doing NSFW works, it certainly adds an extra dimension of requisite concentration! It’s basically learning on hard mode (pun intended ;).

Honestly an NSFW language app isn’t the craziest idea I’ve ever heard, but you just know that shit would be so chock full of ads…
