How about we shift to talking about portion control and be less all or nothing?

Denying such things in other animals has been part of a long-standing, mainly Western, push for human exceptionalism

Texan civility would never stoop to such levels

Quite the meta statement of mainstream music

Don’t have anything to add, just appreciation for your post. A true evil playthrough would be interesting. Done well it’d uncomfortable and illuminating. But maybe too threatening for many? Maybe we stick to simplistic versions because they are safe?

Dishonored 2 did something in the right direction, the way choices start to color the world around you.

Well, we will add some ecology version of thoughts and prayers to it. Some veneer of Never Again

Your responses alternate between writing as if you are a random person who happened across this and then someone who is part of the project. Kinda disingenuous. If you are marketing your own project, be straight about it. If it is against the policies to do that, well then don’t do it

For all the times you responded, couldn’t you have just posted the link?

Not sure what you mean, but here are some considerations. See which is important to you and then others can opine?

Taste (subjective. E.g. I find anything that is tetrapak vs refrigerated to have a ubiquitous off taste)

Versatility
(some hold up better in hot liquids than others; or have a necessary thickness for cooking or baking)

Nutritional Profile
(soy is usually naturally higher in protein; oat and rice milk are high carb / glucose load)

Cost

Quality of ingredients, including how processed they are

Inclusion of undesirable ingredients
(e.g. oils, thickeners)

Ecological impact
(Amount of water to produce e.g. almonds vs oats; over harvesting e.g. coconut)

This is the type of thing to keep in your back pocket for days when you need perspective. Sure you messed up today. But did you Billy Coull your day?

I’m with you in missing that brief era where we could just be truly social online and it felt like a healthy extension of real life dynamics

At first I thought you were posting your response and it came off like this wonderful troll of what a user might disingenuously post on nostupidquestions

Goddamn we are a bonkers species. Really gives credence to the idea of memetic evolution, at least to me

Dang. God got it easy. I usually gotta be down there doing a whole lot more for a lot longer

Practice with eye gazing. You can shift looking mode. We tend to forget this because our modern landscape keeps us mostly in a narrow gaze

+1 on Vinyl music player

afa music collection, I slowly shift things from folder to folder where I gradually cull tracks which I decide I no longer need to hear. I curate rather than hoard (although I see long term value in others opting to keep everything for the sake of all; so ‘hoard’ is not intended to judge those who do in this instance).

To find new music, I lean on Bandcamp. ofc they’re trying to sell the artist on the platform; but the blogs are often quite good, steering me to stuff I would’ve unlikely discovered on my own. If I identify a new genre that I’ve gravitated towards, I read up on it, e.g. on Wikipedia, to find other artists emblematic of the style

Yeah it’s another gen hit piece. Like Gen Z all convened and decided to skip nightclubs for, idk, the lulz

My quibble with it is the way that parks and such aren’t properly delineated. And they disappear depending on your zoom level

This left step-porn stuck in the dryer, and the effect spun out of control.

Love this line
