    This is one of the things I’ve hated most about this country for as long as I can remember. “Poor” is worse than “dead.” Not just because of the stigmas American society places on destitution, but because money equals value.

    In the United States you have to be able to afford dignity. If you’ve got enough money when you die, you can die with dignity. But when you’re poor, you’re forced to live without dignity and are made to die without dignity.

    A dead person with money is still a person. But a poor person, living or dead, is a lazy drug-addicted insect.

    How to make dumplings like a true fartographer

    1. Mix salt, flour, and water until you get a nice dough
    2. Break the dough into smaller pieces and then smash the shit out of them
    3. Add some oil or something on the outside of the dough papers
    4. Pick out some yummy vegetables and make the bigger ones smaller. Add some spices that make you say, “yeah, that’ll taste good!”
    5. Alternate between too much and too little vegetable filling
    6. Fail to properly pinch 95% of your dumplings closed
    7. Steam them in a pan or something. Forget to get a proper steaming instrument, so instead make a bed of broccoli florets with some water.
    8. Fish out the things that survived and look the most like dumplings
    9. Make your own sauce if you want to waste time, anything you dip these dumplings into will be insulted by your food abuse
    10. Lie and tell people that your dumplings didn’t come out all that bad
    11. Lie again and say that this was your first time trying and comment that it’s not bad for having never tried this before
    12. Lie for a third time and say you’re full from eating the ones that didn’t make it, then tell everyone else to eat them
    13. Wallow in your failure and wonder how many people would be insulted by your attempt
    14. Start cleaning the kitchen while crying about how you don’t deserve each kitchen gadget you’re cleaning

    How to trick people into thinking tofu could taste better than it already does:

    1. Put some water in a pot
    2. Add spices that make you say “mmm… That’s good!” (Eg. Soy sauce, garlic powder, fresh garlic, some sort of broth or bouillon cube, lemon juice, MSG if you’re nasty like me)
    3. Boil the water
    4. Add some corn starch so that she gets a little thickness
    5. Make your tofu cube into numerous smaller cubes
    6. Put that tofu into your bubbly broth
    7. Bring it back to a boil and keep it boiling for about 10-30 minutes—if the tofu starts to take on the color of the broth, you’re doing it right
    8. Get a pan or skillet and make it hot. 350° is good
    9. Add some cooking lube
    10. Use a strainer or whatever you got to move the tofu without the broth onto your hot oily skillet, pan, whatever
    11. Cook it for a few minutes on each side until they start to look brown and crispy

    Eat them by themselves, make a sauce, put them in stir-fry or soup, whatever makes you happy.

    When people taste it and tell you it’s the best tofu they’ve ever had or that it reminds them of mapo tofu, call them a fucking liar and threaten to make them eat more.
