  • I’m immune to propaganda because I’m smart.

    That’s not how that works. A smart person would recognize that there are degrees of smartness and degrees of immunity. Even if we accept that smarter people are less susceptible to propaganda, there is no threshold of smartness that grants immunity to propaganda.

    The most important service one can provide to a kind-of-smart person is to tell them when they’ve said something stupid. I’m happy to provide this service. Please rate 5 stars.







  • Definitely use bread flour if you make it yourself. The higher the protein, the better, because the protein is what you’re getting out of it.

    To get 4lbs of gluten (dry weight), you’ll need 30lbs of white flour. You’ll get seitan for about half the price if you make it yourself (assuming flour is $0.50 per pound)… but I honestly think it’s so cheap that it’s worth it to buy the pre-processed gluten powder. Also because I’ve tried making it myself from flour, and I just don’t get good results.

    4lbs of gluten is 4lbs of pure protein. If you eat 50 grams per day, it’ll last 36 days.









  • If you can afford to gamble $25 on the advice of an Internet stranger, do this:

    • Buy a 4lb bag of Vital Wheat gluten. (Can be aquired on Anthony’s Goods website.)

    • Mix it about 50-50 with water, and just… do stuff with it.

    • Example1: Mix 350 grams of gluten powder with 450 grams of water (Optional 5 grams of MSG) and stir it together until it’s a big blob. Pick it up and stretch it in every possible direction and knead the absolute shit out of it. Divide into 7 portions, and place on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 250°F/120°C for about 2 hours. You now have a 50 grams of protein blob for each day of the week, to be sliced and dovided however you wish throughout the day.

    • Example2: Get a ripping hot skillet and dump in Some™ gluten powder and Approximately® twice as much water and vigorously stir it with, like, a fork or something like that, and dump some cooking oil on it as an afterthought, and dump some spices in it and boil off all the water to make a fake Taco meat mix. If it sticks, take it off the heat and add a splash of water to unstick it, and it’s okay to jave juicy taco seitan crumbles. You actually cannot fuck this up.

    Enjoy.



  • THIS is a ‘real problem‘? A fraction of women who are hating trans? How’s this different from those women who are punching down on trans

    Sorry wait… your question is about two actions

    A) punching down on trans people

    B) calling out other oppressed people who punch down on trans people

    … and your question is about how these two actions are different?

    There’s a difference between A) ignoring the opinions of a particular fascist and B) ignoring a year-over-year increase in the population of people openly expressing fascist opinions.

    It’s kind of like a tumor. As inconvenient as it might be, if it’s not hurting you worse than the surgery to remove it, then you should ignore it. If it starts growing, however… you probably shouldn’t ignore that.
