Taking a look at Swisscows right now. My only concern with them is that I know they filter out sites with adult content, and I do have worries on how that’s applied to results with explicit song lyrics or album covers.

I gave this a shot since I do like and trust Mojeek, but unfortunately it doesn’t appear to bring in any results when I use the search “site:bandcamp.com attribution non-commercial share alike” (not in quotes).

Putting personal thoughts aside, Imma be blunt and say this seems kinda hyper-specific for a community.

Honestly depends, but if you want an all-around good instance on a misskey fork, try lethallava.land

I took a look, and I don’t think it’s it. I remember the father looking completely different, and there was a lot more of a cinematic feel than there would be with a television series. I took a look at the movie to see if perhaps that was what I’m thinking of, but the setting doesn’t seem to match up.

Reminds me I need to look into that some time, I once came across an episode on tape in my VHS preservation days.

I have some stoneware plates that are from IKEA. My worries with using a plate were both the heat potentially cracking and/or breaking the plate, or the pot boiling over while the contents are hidden underneath unlike with a glass lid.

Honestly Misskey forks for all their flaws can absolutely take this opportunity to properly advertise themselves as viable alternatives. As someone who uses a Misskey fork, I love the UI in comparison to Mastodon, and the communities in Misskey forks are a lot less techie and a lot more laid back and goofy most of the time from my personal experience.

This is the recipe here, I came across it through the writer’s YouTube channel: https://rainbowplantlife.com/10-ingredient-vegan-red-lentil-bolognese/

Thanks for the tip, I’ll go ahead and toss them then and take this as lesson learned.

With worms though? Wouldn’t they see that as a potential pest attractor?

Someone else suggested going to a composting site, but freezing the waste wasn’t mentioned. This seems like a step in the right direction, but still worried about it thawing during the trip and the wastewater leaking through the bag, causing a mess and disturbing other bus passengers with the smell.

Never had it happen with waste bags, but I’ve seen a few times where people (my family included growing up) would bring in bagged bottles and cans to return for bottle deposit, and the bus drivers were never pleased when the bags leaked.

My main concern with that option is transport. Since I don’t drive and don’t plan on getting a license, I’d likely have to take the bus, and I would hate to disturb others with the smell of rotten food and/or food scraps.

No roof garden or balcony, but we do have a small garden on the property outside by the corner where the road turns.

Might be a hard sell to the landlord honestly, but I can ask them if that’s an option available regardless.

Unfortunately not, but we do have a community garden on the property grounds. I can try to find someone familiar with it and ask them.

What, you got something against removed?

I’m removed and I’ve been looking this up beforehand. Being removed doesn’t make someone a dumbass. If you’re going to see us as lesser-than, at least have the guts to say the full word.

Checks out. Stein, Trump, Harris is a weird order of votes

I’ve been out protesting, there’s been weekly ones here that I attend.

A lot of these people that were disenfranchised by the Democrats ended up voting for Cornel West or Jill Stein instead. I already know what people are going to say, something something wasted vote, but I’m really sick of that entire argument because all it does is delegitimize third parties and keeps this status quo of “lesser evil”.

If this entire notion that you have to vote for one or two parties is going to keep going on as it is, then I’ll gladly point to the senate election in Nebraska where an independent aligned with the Forward and Reform parties only lost to the Republican by about 6%. Do I agree with Osborn or the Forward or Reform parties, not fully, especially with how interesting a candidate Osborn was, but the fact that he gave such competition in a traditionally safe Republican riding shows that voting for other candidates is NOT wasting your vote.

Alright, if you’re so sold on making the voter out to be at fault, then be my guest. Tell someone grieving the death of their relative as a Democratic party member that “hey, we only allowed one of them to die, they’ll have two of them die”.

See if they’re not insulted at that notion.

If the Democrats wanted to bring these people out, then perhaps they should’ve changed their stance when it comes to Israel.

Sorry, but voters are going to vote based off their values, and if they see nobody who reflects their values, then the onus is on the parties, not the voters.

If you’re Arab-American, and you see that your country is facilitating the bombing of the country your parents were born and raised in, then you’re not gonna vote for the party in power that’s actively allowing that to occur.

Why don’t you go ahead and tell the people in those shoes that they should go out and vote for the people who refuse to stop supporting a foreign government that’s actively killing their family members? Go on, say it to their face that they should have supported the people who support the country that killed their cousin. Tell them that they should have chosen between the person that’s killing their relatives, and the person who’ll do it even more.
