A vegan kitchen is not too unlike a non-vegan kitchen, but there are some tools and products that make life much, much easier.
Foodsaver
I am new to the ways of vacuum saving food, but I am already in love. SP & OMWC gifted me with this FoodSaver for my birthday, and I can’t get over how awesome it is.
One of the biggest challenges for me being vegan is that it’s very hard for me to get fresh produce unless I hop over to a farm stand, and they almost never have lettuces. With my FoodSaver I’m able to vacuum pack my produce, tofu, and leftovers, and get many more meals out of them. I haven’t tried it yet, but I will be trying to reheat my vegetables using the sous vide method now that I have my food so well sealed.
A Fuckload of Mason Jars
For a well-stocked vegan kitchen (where you also don’t need to spend hours every night cooking), you really need a fuckload of Mason jars. One of the great things about the FoodSaver is there is an accessory attachment you can order and you can vacuum seal jars. Now, as the package will remind you about 10 million times, this is no replacement for canning food, but you can do salad jars. Throw some greens and veg into a jar and seal it up. It can last in the fridge for over a week.
The meal prepper in me is planning to do this Asian inspired salad jar, Buddha bowls in jars, oatmeal in jars, peanut noodles in jars, and anything else that comes to mind.
Cookhelp
Ever want to make cool spiraled veggies? Zucchini noodles? Other spiraly things? Cookhelp at your service. This tool will make your vegan salads a lot more interesting.
An Award Winning Spatula
I originally got this award winning spatula (another gift from SP) for breadmaking, but I use it for basically everything. It’s rigid yet flexible. It does the best job scraping bowls out of every spatula I’ve ever used.
Glass Milk Jugs
These are so freaking useful for iced tea and non-dairy milks like oat milk (which is super easy to make at home and much, much cheaper).
Immersion Blender
I am in love with my immersion blender. It’s changed the way I make soups, and I would argue it’s an essential kitchen tool whether or not you’re vegan.
AND Bonus Link!

You forgot bacon.
Even when she was a non-vegetarian child, she never ate pork products. She met a baby pig when she was on a preschool field trip at age 2 and that was that!
Well as Dad would say, that’s more for me!
(((OMWC))) eats bacon?
Awwww
So she’s Taliban?
That’s sweet. (Not sarc)
Lighten up, Francis.

Which I will be now doing. Thanks a lot!
I can’t have sex with your personality,

And I can’t put my fist in your childhood dreams,
So why you sharing all this information with me?
You lighten up, Francis.
And keep your meat-hooks off my stuff.
Guess I should’ve went with a Kevin Bacon reference instead.
I’m working late the next few days and had some bacon from the real meat market in the fridge decided I needed to use. One slice on top of tomorrow’s meatloaf, the rest cooked for BLTs on Wednesday,
I got a spiral-izer.
If needed, I just purchase “zoodles”.

Hoe. Lee. Fuck. If that is true, what a cunt.
Was it wrong of me to chuckle at that?
I had andouille sausage with Alfredo sauce on top of shredded zucchini for lunch. Does that count as vegan?
It counts as sounding delicious.
I added this to the Alfredo sauce to make it interesting: https://smile.amazon.com/Wicked-Tickle-Black-Skull-Smoked/dp/B007TDDOJU

If i went Vegan, I would Blow away, Meat and Beer are the only things keeping my on the Ground
Getting enough fat and protein as a vegan seems expensive. Although, I think beer is vegan.
Not all beer. Some beers use isinglass as a fining agent, and that’s from fish bladders.
I dated a girl who was against owning anything leather because she was a vegan. Her sofa was a seat from a bus.
I am an Irish Moss fan myself. Seaweed all the way!
Yeah, me too. I find it works perfectly well and I’m already boiling vegetables, so why not one more?
Gelatin is also used…also not vegan.
Many beers are vegan. Not all.
On that list, I have a vacumn sealer, the spiralizer, (so far only used for cheesy curly fries which are awesome), and I dug two discarded mason jars out of the garbage at work today. Ok, they weren’t mason jars but moonshine jars from a party last night. I also dug out a half a box of wine. Ya, I am that guy.
Now that I think about it, that party was Sat night so I dug through 2 day old garbage. Which makes me an even grosser that guy.
You’re just frugal.
*snipes some primo cigarette butts from the gutter*
I am. That shit is Dave Ramsey approved!
Dude, go to the dollar store.
Srsly. Sloper, I will mail you some unopened boxes of Franzia, FFS. Just stop playing the character Charlie from Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
*raises hand*
I’ll take some of their cabernet.
This was top dollar box wine. Bota Box. They also left a few unopened ones. Sav Blanche, but I snatched a red off the top of the garbage heap to add to the next batch of marinara.
When I meet people who claim to be fluent in a foreign language, my first question is: “How do you say spatula in that language?” Kind of an asshole move, but it’s one of those words you don’t learn unless you’re really serious.
I can say spatula in any language but I use hand gestures.
Careful, in some cultures that gesture means you’re a bottom.
Espatula, pero comunmente pala o paleta.
No, not really. It’s an asshole move when you ask them a word that you’re sure does not exist in their language. Like ‘woke’ or’ intersectionality’. Of course, if you’re not a Glib, you’re an asshole for even knowing those words exist and imagining they have real meaning.
Other cultures use spatulas, too. Not that I knew Pfannenwender or лопатка, however.
Every modern culture has one. I think it’s the stepping stone up from the bronze age. I just used a silicone one when frying fish.
What’s Russian for “progressive”?

‘Spatula’ is Latin.
So the correct plural is spatulae?
I’m a big fan of the food saver. Cheese, meat, soup, marinating, and jar sealing dry goods.
Did you ever purchase a produce crisper? It keeps fresh fruits like cherries and strawberries from getting moldy after washing and Kerry’s from getting limp.
“The Compulsory Society
We owe a debt of gratitude to the cranky dissidents such as Jack Phillips.
Vox may still be keeping up its risible just-the-facts posturing, but it is tendentious to the point of dishonesty: “Colorado baker who refused to serve gay couple now wants to refuse to serve transgender person,” it says.
That is not true, of course.
(But everybody knows that.)
Phillips serves customers of all sorts, including homosexual customers. What he declines to do is to make cakes for certain events, participation in which, even as a vendor, would violate his conscience. As he put it: “I serve everybody. It’s just that I don’t create cakes for every occasion.”
Phillips has been prosecuted under a civil-rights law, but this is not really a case about civil rights: It is a case about compulsion.
After winning his case at the Supreme Court, Phillips was again targeted by Colorado activists, one of whom asked him to make a cake to celebrate coming out as transgender. Phillips declined, and was ordered to the state to compulsory mediation. He is countersuing.
This all began with the best of intentions….”
https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/08/masterpiece-cakeshop-case-about-compulsion-not-civil-rights/
It didn’t begin with the best of intentions.
Maybe read the rest of the article?
Says the guy who comments an OT link 8 minutes after an article post goes up.
What?
Just giving you shit for giving Ted shit when you went Off Topic very quickly…like maybe you hadn’t read the entire article that was posted by WebDom.
I really don’t give a shit, just being glib.
I always read the articles.
I have a spiralizer. I’d like a vacuum sealer, but I’m out of room for more kitchen gadgets.
Well, that’s the first day of MBA orientation for UW-Madison under my belt.
I don’t mind having an opportunity to meet my classmates, but a week long orientation for graduate school is absurd. I had a two day orientation for my undergrad, and even that was excessive.
Are they showing you where your classes are? I am a completely in the dark as to what a grad school orientation would consist of. How to take notes? Don’t they know you people have done the school thing before?
We spent 90 minutes on the academic honor code alone. I am not looking forward to tomorrow’s session on ‘unconscious bias’.
The academic side of this program is fantastic (Wisconsin grads come out the other side with fantastically useful skills and commanding excellent salaries), but God damn if they don’t want to cram you into the Madison bubble.
On the other hand, Thursday has a session on efficient use of excel, so that’s nice.
When I had a real job I knew how to use excel efficiently. Ask the Indonesian surveyor dude on crew for shortcuts. He was a genius.
As to the Madison Bubble, do they make you wear yellow socks or are those now outlawed since that annoying ass was #metooed?
Thankfully, there was no PC nonsense today. We just met classmates in our department and signed up for classes. Tomorrow is orientation for all graduate TA’s on campus. I’m sure we’ll begin to cover that stuff tomorrow.
I started an online pharmacology course today, while waiting to get into the program about which I posted (which won’t happen until spring, and maybe not then).
The first 15 points toward my grade are: 10 points for participating in the “ice breaker” discussion on the forum, following a very specific set of things to “share” and replying to at least two classmates’ posts in a substantive manner; and 5 points for filling out a questionnaire about what I hope to get out of the class, and can I use technology well enough to take a class online. *sigh*
This follows my surprise finding out only yesterday that I needed to do a mandated anti-sexual violence training before I could begin this class today.
Yes, there will be an article from that, with screen shots. What a shit show.
I remember the videos and online quizes I had to take 4 years ago when starting undergrad. It covered drinking, drug abuse and how to tell if your partner has given consent or is uncomfortable. I hope I don’t have to do those again this year.
Fuck man, I’m in my mid thirties and sometimes I’m concerned I’m spending too much time with those old coots, good to know there is a younger generation to that isn’t completely useless. Get off my lawn!
*these old coots, meaning most people on here are fucking old.
If any glib wants to feel old, just know that all my grandparents were born in the 1950s.
Oh snap, congrats! I’m planning on starting my MBA this fall. Online classes via UMUC, which is the only way I’ll ever do academic pursuits again.
Thanks! I wanted to make an investment in my career now, before Mrs. RegicidalManiac gets really insistent about having kids.
You specializing in anything specific or is it a generalist program?
It’s a generalist program, and that’s really what I’m looking for, but I imagine that I’m going to steer towards project management. I’m a university employee, and the tradeoff for making probably 20k less than I’d make in the private sector is a fudgeton of paid leave and tuition remission at UMD system schools, including grad-level credits, so I figured I’d be a fool to leave that on the table.
I’m a web developer, and I just turned 40, and I don’t want to be a web developer (or even necessarily in IT) when I’m 50, so I’m trying to use this as a second chance to get the business degree I should’ve gotten as an undergrad. I still don’t know what I want to do with my life besides have money and be a gentleman of leisure, so I figure an MBA is a good general background for things that interest me but that are also in some demand. I’m pretty good at analyzing things, making plans, and figuring out what other people ought to be doing, so this seems like the best bet.
Also had my first day of grad school orientation. It’s also 5 days but 3 days are devoted for TA’s and preparing you to teach your first class on Monday.
I had none of that when I went there for grad school. They did keep the engineering campus away from the rest of campus.
How dedicated are most vegans? If the state decided that it’s a subversive movement and outlawed it, would they burn at the stake rather than submit?
The ones on this site would go down firing.
Wifey texted, then called me at work this afternoon. 2ft rubber boa in the garage. Haven’t seen the chipmunk so far so maybe Jake got him.
Did you tell her Rubber Snakes were Harmless? or just let her squirm for a bit?
I had an aunt that my cousins told me was terrified of rubber snakes. I didn’t believe it. So they dared me take the one they had and throw it at her. God forgive me, I was like 5 years old. I didn’t know better. This is why I wrote I HAD an aunt… no not really, just kidding, but it was true, I think it scared me more than her when she screamed like a wild animal and freaked out running from the room.
No, it’s the not the first time we’ve had them in the house. Just unexpected to walk out the door and see a snake. The more annoying part is that they’re probably after food such as mice.
Rubber snake, dildo. Potato, pahtato.
No one needs a vegan kitchen. It’s an abomination.
No one needs 23 kinds of kitchens.
No one needs any kitchens, appliances are killing Gaia. Didn’t you just hear that all democrat pols are giving up their kitchens to save Gaia? Why an’t we be woke?
BBQ! no wait, that burns Charcoal… EEEEVVVVIIILLLL!
Hell, no one needs 23 kinds of vegetables.
I made this murphy bar for a lady’s patio. Wish she hadn’t painted the fence- she’s going to paint the bar too but I like the natural look of cedar.
Hmm. Try it again.
That is a great idea. And yes, I did my office out of cedar which some say is too soft for anything. I say hogwash.
I might just steal that idea for a hideable table near the smoker on the deck. I’ can use a polypropylene cutting board for the top.
Your link had too much sugar.
No you didn’t or there would be a link that worked….
Why the angle?
The bar is level the fence is on a slope
Ahh, it looks otherwise, Good Work!
Really, it looks awesome. You can never have enough counter space, no matter where you are.
Why is Ted Cruz playing you?
That is too bad. The natural cedar looks nice against the white, too. Good job!
Yes, very nice!
So a murphy bar is a shelf that folds out of the wall?
yes. Just like a murphy bed folds out of the wall,
“Anything that can go wrong will go wrong, can be folded up against a wall”?
That’s pretty darn handy. Hmmm.
/starts looking around at her less-than-great-on-counter-space kitchen
Shit, wifey was gone for 3 weeks to Eurotardia and just got back . She’s on the sofa asleep. She has her novelas on and I just glanced in there. I can see the TV from my office. There was a pretty milfish lady on at the time and I almost said outloud ‘MILF!’. Good grief.
Wifey: *wakes up*’What? What is MILF’.
Me: *winces* ‘Umm, I said, err, I mean I said Tilf, he’s the guy running for GOP senate that I’m thinking about voting for’
Wifey: ‘No, you said MILF’
Me: ‘I was just thinking about you’
Wifey ‘What does this mean?’
Nothing like this has ever happened before, I was just going through the ‘What IF?’ screnarios.
Honesty works great for staying Married……..
My wife asked Why Men walk around not worried about their Dick being out Front and in Danger, so no question is off limits…..
I was just joking, we don’t have any drama at all. We’re older, we’ve been married for 8 years in Dec, and have no real problems. Of course, being a guy and the asshole I am, I do occasionally stick the evil dick in the wringer and have to get myself out of it. Best thing is, being more mature and having been through so much, no kids at home, no silly jealousy, it’s pretty smooth going.
Good on ya Mate! We are into 32 years now, and i have learned it’s sometimes better to just shut up
Congrats on 32 years, bro. That is awesome.
“An Award Winning Spatula”
To be honest, I have many, most of them different varieties of stainless steel. But my fav is my 2 silicone ones. Flexible, just the right size and you cannot burn them even if you forget an leave them in hot oil. I think I paid $6 for the pair at Bed, Bath, and Beyond.
Which is better to spank someone with? Stainless or silicone?
*Paging Creosote Achilles. Creosote Achilles to the black, patent leather courtesy phone, please.*
I have to believe that the square stainless one with the slots in it, has to be. Just be careful if you give your wife ideas, that might leave marks.
Thin metal is better for flipping. Silicone is better for folding and scraping bowls.
“Foodsaver”
I keep thinking about one of these. We use a lot of produce and if it resulted in any of it lasting longer…
The food saver will save you a ton on meats. I buy when on sale in bulk then seal and freeze. They will keep without freezer burn for over 12 months.
Cheese is another cost saver. I buy a large wedge op Parmigiana Reggiano cut off a few chunks every few weeks for shredding and it keeps for months without any mold. The same for cheddar.
You mean it keeps that long in the fridge? That would be nice as my wife is allergic to cheese, so I go through it quite slowly.
Allergic to cheese? Jebus. That is a curse. I have a dog allergic to beef. I keep hearing that god loves us but I aint buying that.
Right? I feel bad for her, but I guess it’s one of those things where if you’ve never had it, you don’t know what you’re missing.
Of course she’s had it: how else would she know she’s allergic?
I’ve never known you to be so pedantic! 😉
Rephrase: I guess it’s one of those things where if you haven’t had it since you were a very small child, you don’t remember what you’re missing.
Wait, that’s not true. You just haven’t been around much and I forgot what a drunken robot asshole you were!
I’m allergic to chocolate. People tell me, “how can you live without chocolate?” I never had much of a sweet tooth. So I manage fine.
I saw med orders at work with someone’s allergies listed as garlic and onions.
What the fuck is left to eat if you can’t have those two things??
Cheese and chocolate?
Beer, jalepeno poppers, cheese curds, mediocre pizza…
Thing is though, over the last decade or so I’ve noticed people listing things they don’t like as allergies (perhaps not on medical documents, but what they present to the world). My sister in law said she was allergic to bell pepper, finally after years it came out she just didn’t like them. My mom’s boyfriend says he’s allergic to something about a cigarettes, I don’t know what. When he sees me have a cigarette and then I’m around him he coughs loudly and gags. The odd thing, if I’m around him the same amount of time later after I’ve had a cigarette and he didn’t see it he’s fine.
I think we have to try one. We almost exclusively buy produce, veggies, meats, and cheeses. I’m especially interested in if it can save some time for unused produce, especially leafy greens.
Here are a couple examples from my freezer.
https://imgur.com/gallery/cYEX7We
I think you need a special attachment or jar-type thing to work with delicate vegetables. I have one but I only use it for meat.
I’m a huge fan. I vacuum pack almost everything. I have specialty containers from the company, as well as zip bags that have a valve so I can vacuum things that are used frequently, like cheese. Then OMWC can just open it like any other bag and later on, I just re-vacuum it. Brilliant.
I have the mason jar attachment because I love to store dried goods in them and I often do salads in jars, especially when traveling. I can just throw them in a cooler and have inexpensive healthy food on the road.
I put the firmer items like chopped carrots, radishes, canned chickpeas, nuts, in first, then cram the rest of the jar with chopped romaine or other greens, then vacuum it up and refrigerate.
Speaking of romaine, I store all my romaine for salads chopped and vacuum-packed in mason jars. As soon as I get it home from the store, I wash, chop, salad spin, and vacuum-pack.
I have photos of my produce drawer full of salad/romaine jars lying on their sides. I can fit 6 quart jars at a time in a drawer.
Never had the food saver, but I have used those ziplocs with the pump, that is nice. No need for another counter waisting machine.
“I have photos of my produce drawer full of salad/romaine jars lying on their sides. I can fit 6 quart jars at a time in a drawer.”
Hey, SP, I wasn’t still on when you posted this last night. But if you see this, can you post those pics? Thanks.
Good spatulas are hard to find. I need it to be stiff but flexible, have a sharp edge and not scratch non-stick pans. By spatula I mean the tool you flip eggs with. My wife refers to me as the egg-spurt. I have mastered eggs – over easy, over medium, hard, scrambled, eggs benedict, eggs rancheros, etc but I need the right tools.
Telling you Suthen, those cheap silicone ones I have are the best. And I mean the test is flipping eggs in a small pan, agreed. Almost perfect. And I have a lot of them, some from 30 years ago.
If they are in a pan, why do you need a spatula to flip them?
That sort of flipping is only for the wok.
Holy “snap”, Batman!
You need one for the poached eggs, the scrambled eggs, and any egg you aren’t showboating with.
Poached eggs are flipped with a spoon. What planet are you from?
I flip eggs by lifting the pan off the heat and giving it a semi hard forward motion followed by a gentle catch and intentional lowering stroke thus not forgetting the fragility of the yolks.
Is it just me or is it getting hot in here?
Of course you can buy flipping-type spatulas made of plastic that won’t scratch non-stick pans, but they are much thicker than metal ones.
Can’t believe I’m the first to post this.

That can’t be real.
It’s from weird al’s movie UHF.
News has been on and off all day. Not one peep about the coming genocide in South Africa. Not a peep.
It is going to be a blood bath and the same world that boycotted apartheid there is going to turn its back and pretend it isnt happening.
It’s like watching a bomb about to go off. The consolation is that the ensuing famine will kill anyone left after the bloodbath an I won’t be dialing the number on the infomercial.
I just posted bout it though. Don’t forget the upcoming starvation.
I Posted it last week, don’t get greedy….
/They are Fucked……
I think there’s been several different links over the last couple of weeks.
yep, not being a dick Sir,
People whose ancestors came from another country don’t deserve property rights.
Which basically means that no one whose ancestors come from Africa deserves property rights. WOKE!
Of course, you can’t apply that theory universally.
Can, did. Unless you’re arguing that anyone alive today does not have ancestors who were not from Africa?
I’m tapping out. Mimicking marxists gives me a headache.
Marxists? OK, you lost me. Is there anyone in the world outside of Africa who does not have a gene marker pointing to them making their way out of Africa? I know there are some alternative theories, but I think the ‘out of Africa’ is still the accepted one in Paleo Anthropology.
I’m fucking around. It’s obviously immoral what they are doing in South Africa. Fun to point out the lack of consistency the MSM has in regards to people being oppressed. Wrong skin? No property for you!
Yeah, you would have thought that humanity could have moved beyond that by now. And we probably would have, except for how the left keep reviving racism.
That’s basically the long and short of it. The apartheid government were horrible on equal protection and property rights. This new regime is/will be horrible on property rights. The interim governments were a scandalous mess.
Of course not. Whitey’s the victim.
A good friend of mine did a Safari hunt in South Africa a few months ago. I haven’t asked him, but it’s very possible he hunted the preserve mentioned in the article. This isn’t just going to hurt the property owners, there are a lot of black locals in high paying jobs on those preserves are going to become unemployed.
Unpossible. Social Justice. WOKE! Everyone gets their pony now!
Much more misery coming to SA.
You know, it’s funny how we always see it coming. Because, how can you not? How many times does it have to play out? You can see it coming like a speeding tractor trailer right down the middle of the highway, right at you, in broad daylight.
But they never see it. How is that possible?
Oh, they see it. They just have a philosophy that allows them to ignore the truth. It’s called postmodernism.
I’m currently reading Explaining Postmodernism by Stephen R.C. Hicks, and he stated that postmodernism is the Left’s reaction to the repeated, undeniable failure of socialism. They don’t want to let go of their beloved ideology, so they just invented a school of thought that allows them to write off or “reinterpret” objective reality. This way, they can just feel that socialism is the solution without having to worry about all that pesky real-world evidence to the contrary.
Seems a little too convenient for my works view, guess I’ll have to read it.

Is that even 100 people? With some of them being from elsewhere and professors? I’m not a huge fan off democracy, but probably shouldn’t have such a small group deciding for everyone else.
I was in a patient’s room when a local news team was covering the story they kept the camera to the ground (I assume on purpose so no one could be identified).
Yea this is a small group. Definitely, a bunch of dysfunctional lefty adults are on site joining the kids. The City of Durham statue topplers who got off were present
Yeah, the whole world was worse off because the cops didn’t see a dog in the crowd and unleash. Oh well.
I lol’d
That’s catchy. To be honest, I am not sure if I care if they tear down statues. I have always thought statues were kind of stupid, and it is not like the history of slavery is ever going to leave us. It is topic one in many circles of thought. I heard an NPR story on the way to work the other day that I am too lazy to look up. Topic was how to talk to your progressive white friends about racism because they think they are immune and not racist and may even have brown or black relatives or friends. It was really the first time I heard seriously that all white people are racist regardless of how they treat people, think, and or act. You are a mother fucking racist if your skin is white. So all those white college kids can tear down those statues and I say have at it, but when that does not prove your non-racism to the ones making the judgements what are you going to tear down next? That is what kind of concerns me.
Communally owned property is a bit sketchy, in the current legal environment, but still not something i would condone destroying.
I am not saying I necessarily condone it, I am saying I really don’t give a shit which is neither condoning or condemning. Until I think about what comes next. Seriously, what are these mobs of dimwits going to do when they have no more statues to topple in the area? Quite being activist retards and just go on to the next keg party?
Probably join the local government and vote to raise your taxes so they can erect monuments to slavery.
Yea I think statues are usually stupid, but as Lack stated 100-300 ppl in a mob shouldn’t be deciding.
I do think of a Tom woods episode about statues in New Orleans where it seemed most people actually did want to keep them instead of the usual ambivalent or hostile attitude
Also, can’t listen to npr anymore, it’s all agitprop, and the jurors aren’t about to vote not guilty for protecting our country.
Ya, I went a few years where I couldn’t listen but now I returned and hate listen just to yell at the radio. The dishonesty in reporting is amazing at times. They really do their listeners a disservice with much of the shit they peddle.
I could stand it until the point where i realize I’m paying them to do it.
Yelling at the radio doesn’t do my anger justice.
I listen to the classical music station, but when they have news at the top of certain hours, it’s NPR news.
Whenever I think about people tearing down statues, I think about this Encyclopedia Brown episode.
I hate the shit. I’m not a neo-Confederate, I don’t think slavery was actually not that bad a thing, none of that. I have a serious problem with mobs of people who get together and decide for the rest of the community to eliminate evidence of historical badthink. This feels a hell of a lot more like the Taliban obliterating stone Buddhas or the Red Guard destroying temples rather than people toppling statues of Lenin after the end of the Cold War.
Same here. They pretend like they are doing it for reasons other than power. Liars.
Well, not all…
We’re gonna tear down the old and put up the new. Oppression will be replaced with a system that rights historical wrongs, gives power the vulnerable. And we’re gonna do all this and not be corrupt. Just sign up! I know you don’t like being on the bottom of the new society, but everyone has to play their part.
Destroy the Four Olds!

These guides also often unnecessarily gender body parts as being “male parts” and “female parts” and refer to “sex with women” or “sex with men,” excluding those who identify as nonbinary. Many individuals don’t see body parts as having a gender — people have a gender.
And as a result, the notion that a penis is exclusively a male body part and a vulva is exclusively a female body part is inaccurate. By using the word “parts” to talk about genitals and using medical terms for anatomy without attaching a gender to it, we become much more able to effectively discuss safe sex in a way that’s clear and inclusive.
For the purposes of this guide, we’ll refer to the vagina as the “front hole” instead of solely using the medical term “vagina.” This is gender-inclusive language that’s considerate of the fact that some trans people don’t identify with the labels the medical community attaches to their genitals.

This whole “Gender is a social construct?” Is going to die on the altar of Title IX or the Olympics. I’d rather it die on the altar of the military draft registration and take the draft with it, but ill take what I can get.
My favorite is the whole notion of “assigned gender” as if doctors arbitrarily proclaim a baby to be a boy or girl.
I do believe gender is a social construct to some extent, but I also believe that, like a lot of social constructs, it tracks biology. I’m male, my wife is female, we’re both Americans who grew up in the same area and are from roughly similar backgrounds. I’m about a hundred pounds heavier, slightly lower BMI, and nearly a foot taller. That’s not because I watched a lot of John Wayne movies as a kid. Masculinity is a social construct, sure, but there are masculine traits that carry across cultures and societies, and they’re linked largely I feel to physiological differences. I’m just saying, maybe the construct occurs because it reflects genuine biological differences. And yeah, shit, if you feel like a woman but you’re a man, maybe something else is going on.
I just came.
OT: As I get ready for another day at my stressful job that I already hate, I’m feeling pretty bitter about this “go to college” line that is parroted to every child in America.
It’s like if they told every schoolkid to put money in the stock market. It’s drilled into their heads from day one that their ultimate goal should be to buy stocks. On occasion, there’s a brief mention of learning how the market works and picking good stocks, but 99 times out of 100, all they hear is “put your money in stocks”. No teacher ever brings up the possibility that stocks may not be a good idea based on one’s financial status and risk tolerance; everyone is simply told that if you don’t buy stocks, you’re consigning yourself to a life of wretched poverty.
This would be pretty stupid advice. Yes, it’s good to buy stocks in some cases if you know what you’re doing, but the incompleteness turns this good advice into bad advice.
I guess I’m trying to piece it together. Did you end up going to school for something you didn’t like and that’s why you hate your job?
What do you wish you’d done instead?
I just don’t handle stress very well, particularly when it’s caused by other people. I think I’m the kind of person who just needs to work more-or-less alone. Back when I worked at a factory, I did a lot of freelance writing and some affiliate marketing, and I was trying to make a full-time income out of those two things, but that’s very hard to do, so I went to college. Now I’m thinking that was a lapse in judgement. I should have kept working on my side projects; they could have been my full-time job by now. I can pick them up again, but this damn job takes so much of my time. My whole goal when I went to college was to find a job that doesn’t require a shitload of overtime and stress you out, and I can’t seem to find that. Every employer wants you to throw your heart and soul into the job, no matter how menial and unimportant it is.
Guess I better start working on writing again if I ever want to get out of this.
Sounds like a good idea.
Picked up a USA today, 3/4 was fluff (not sure in what way college food choices relates to the money section), the other 1/4 was misleading. Did you know the ten states with the largest population also had the most school violence?
No one buys newspapers anymore besides hipsters who want to use it as a prop and curmudgeonly old men who want to bitch about how everything is going to hell. And crazy cat ladies.
So, the article choices actually make sense.
But what if I’m a curmudgeonly young man wanting to read the damn news?
