There is this conflict between just letting shit pass versus risking a scene because you gotta stand up for yourself to retain your self-respect and personal dignity. I grew up in a culture where letting shit pass was deemed universally wiser. But honestly as I've met more people from different walks of life it feels pretty cheap. For one thing, it is a lot easier to just let things slide from a position of power. And also people who aren't empowered encounter this choice more often per day, which tries their patience more. I think asserting ourselves is a form of power, and that refusing to is a sign of privilege (already having power) to put it very abstractly. And that's not something everybody can do, but I've decided that it is worth striving for. So if you ever ask yourself why I speak out even when I don't have full information laid out in an evidence database, that's why. Consider doing so as well! It feels great standing up for yourself, and it asserts boundaries that you never realized needed to be spoken. Like "don't fucking talk shit about me for posting about lentils" even. Thank you lentils hater, you made me realize that I needed to assert myself more!

@hazelnot davinci resolve can't even import an .mp4 with an audio track correctly on Linux. When I tried it, I had to extract audio, re-encode it (ffmpeg, soundconverter, etc), and resync it to the video track for every new import.

Their linux support is so bad it is basically a lie.

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.
