  • I ate tofu before I was vegan, but man I've upped my tofu game since then. Pan fry it and finish with sesame oil and soy sauce, and its a game changer.

    I know it's a bit of a meme to say "you just haven't had the right one yet", but I think a lot of people get the idea of mushy plain tofu and are rightly turned off. It's so frickin good when you make it right.

    Here's the recipe I use.

  • I personally think that humans do "matter more" than most other animals, but I'm not a human exceptionalist. I think there's a spectrum of neurological complexity (for lack of a better term) that determines a lifeforms ability to experience complex emotional life. The more sophisticated that machinery is, the more moral consideration a being deserves.

    One of the benefits of this is line of reasoning is that it also rejects speciesism for a more fundamental categorisation, but still fairly trivially answers questions like: Why can't animals vote? Or, should killing a sentient animal (an ant, or bee, perhaps) deserve the same punishment as killing a human?

    I also think that there is some threshold where there's essentially no complex emotion processing capability. This, to me, provides a clear and consistent answer to why it is OK to kill some life (plants, microbes) for our own survival, but not others.

    Of course there are some problems. The "emotional capacity" or "neurological complexity" measure kinda hand waves away a lot of tough questions about the nature of consciousness that's at or beyond the limits of our current sciences.

    If you asked me to elaborate, in the "name the trait" scenario, and kept digging, I'd quickly run out of my depth, because it's not my area of expertise.

  • Hancock said the "whole process has been unfair" and said the union will challenge what it called an unconstitutional order. Air Canada flight attendants picket at Pearson International Airport in Toronto on Saturday.

    "Air Canada has really refused to bargain with us and they refused to bargain with us because they knew this government would come in on their white horse and try and save the day," he said.

    Based.

  • It's honestly not even the worst way I've even seen it used.

    I used to watch some League of Legends (I know, I know) streams from time to time, and there's a meta where your mid laner, who is supposed to be a strong carry, gives up all their farm to the roaming jungler roll so they become the super-carry.

    In any case this somehow got termed to be the "vegan mid" strategy. Ugh. Veganism is when you starve, apparently.

  • Tired of Google Home not working? This new change will push you one step further into the valley of despair, where a capitalist hellscape leads you to constantly say "Yeah, that seems about right" and to feel a small twang of loss before moving on with your day.
