Sorry my XMPP server does not support XEP-46 so I can't shit in the toilet I have to use the litterbox.

Made some pizza the other night with my wife and I wanted to try something new.

Took a can of chickpeas with the aqua fava and put into a small pot with garlic salt and lots of curry powder. Boiled for 4 minutes, and then simmered on low for 10 minutes or until it is no longer a runny-liquid, but more of a goopy garlic and curry mess.

Next take the pizza crust and apply thick layer of a sweet BBQ sauce evenly across the crust (If you don't consider honey vegan, you might have to make your own, but don't forget to use something with pineapple juice! I like Sweet Baby Rays). Then evenly spoon out the chickpea curry mush across the top of the pizza covered in sweet BBQ sauce.

Fill all the gaps in the chickpeas and curry with some selective spoonfuls of garlic marinara sauce, careful not to add too much and cause sauce to run off the side of the pizza crust. Once gaps are filled, mix it in just a little bit with a spoon to give the pizza an even coating of all the ingredients.

With the gaps filled and sauce spread out evenly, slice red onions into rings, strips, or just dice them. Sprinkle on top so that they settle and sink a bit into the mixture.

Then just into the oven like a normal pizza and serve while still hot! Vegan BBQ curry pizza. The BBQ and Curry flavors work way better together than you would think, and the mushy boiled and then oven roasted chickpea layer gives the pizza more of a "body" that other vegan pizzas tend to lack, where they resemble something more like flatbread. Very filling with lots of protein.

@kboyd I love this application of his analysis! He also makes mention that the work of maintenance is coded as less significant, since it requires caring for something you may not have made yourself, which is socially devalued as a women's activity. So this focus on disposable things you feel like you did all by yourself are a bull-market capitalist's dream. Like the cake mix that asks for you to add things other than just water to make you feel as if you did something and had agency (not pre-decided in the factory, or in the training dataset). This analysis maps really well onto people who are way too excited about this stuff when you know what to look for.

Microsoft Windows 11 is such a fucked up Operating System that it activates my distrohopping masochism instinct and I adopt it as another bespoke hard to maintain system to setup as a hobby. I switched to Linux because it was hard and I enjoyed the pain, and now I finally have that same reason to revisit Windows.

I really like maple-mono font when it is built without all the nerdfont ligatures on punctuation and symbols. This was the victor-mono replacement I was looking for, and it is relatively easy to preview and build modified variants too!

The "just block them" crowd would get more reception from people complaining about the shit culture on fedi if:

- They actually had the same idea about who needs to be blocked. Threads complaining about people complaining about being told to just "block everybody" to solve the problem bring the shithead mutuals out there for us to all see. News flash! The rest of us did block them, as well as your smug asshole mutuals.
- Shared moderation tools were more prevalent to avoid repeated work on new instances.
- There still needs to be a "suspend every server involved in this thread" button.
- Paid minority moderation staff. Can't state this enough. Way easier for more privileged userbases to find comfort here on a hobbyist level of effort. Combating racism on here in particular takes some full-time shit and gets very little intersectional sympathy, much less action, from the majority white users/admins.

Yeah being able to fucking block everybody is a great feature. However it isn't winning hearts and minds being a smug asshole about it when it works so easily *for you*. And! If somebody is in your replies being a bit overeager to be smug towards people being harassed online, maybe reevaluate whether you should block them too!
