Here’s one I really like. What I found makes it is that the mushrooms are fried first. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/235589/chef-johns-creamy-mushroom-soup/

Great article. The pundits that are “confused” about why all this is happening need to read this. Thanks for posting.

I’m really disappointed in Starmers response. Reminds me a lot of Never Chamberlain.

Great thread, thanks for posting.

For the last long while I’ve considered the feelings people are having as similar to a dog that barks before an earthquake or when cows lay down before it rains. There may not be an understanding of the origins of our prophetic rumblings but their validity should not be discounted.

As for what form our future will take I find it sad watching all of you struggle with the evidentiary overload. It is not nearly as important to worry about what will happen as it is to decide what common outcomes there will be and how you want to prepare for them. Food and energy supply, gone. Government control and protection, gone. Reliability of these networks people talk of building, gone. What do you want to do in these circumstances? Starve? Kill? Die?

None of this is worth worrying about. Don’t let anxiety paralyze you. If you choose to do something then look at the broader picture. Do things that lead you to where you think you’ll be content. Learn to kill. Learn to die. Learn to survive. Many are taking that approach.

One last point. There is much of humanity that holds such promise. There is also much that proves our animal origins. My personal take is that we should absolutely be exterminated, though I’ve chosen to try to survive. Had we overcome our notion that our goodness as a species was beyond our taking the necessary steps to avoid this outcome, perhaps we would have conducted the necessary genetic engineering and population control that could have saved us. To be fair, very few would have thought this was even possible 50 or 100 years ago, but any such thoughts were very carefully controlled by people who knew better or were intentionally blinded by greed. It is these people I will be taking out my frustration on.

Sorry, I know this is not a positive message. It’s never popular to say the quiet parts out loud. The main point is I want to say don’t be discouraged. Good luck.

This is disgusting.

Someone was favouring extra expensive contracts with private medical contractors.

Good point, hadn’t thought of that lol.

That’s just trump trying to swing the vote toward pp. It’s so obvious I think/hope the only people stupid enough to fall for it are the ones who already vote conservative.

I cannot profess to knowing that which I did not read, per say. Lol

I didn’t mean to emphasize stupid in any way. I think rejection of the current system was inevitable but they fall for lies that are allowed to go unchallenged in a meaningful way. I don’t have a problem with optimism but I think ignoring the realities of the end game do us no favours. I would prefer a mix of the two with proper representation of a plan to survive what will come. Lets hope electoral reform actually happens in a way that truly serves the people and not the party. Thanks for your thoughts on all this.

They instill many emotions that are helpful in promoting discourse. Not all but you have to take the bad with the good.

Agreed. Let’s just eliminate the link so that no clicks go their way. I love Wiki but self-centered comments have their place. I think getting people to question the whole fandom paradigm would be a healthy add on.

The other day I was looking through posts on Lemmy and came across a long list of posts solely linked to reddit, for the purpose of sharing reddit content. I think to be appropriately rid of these negative influences Lemmy should consider blocking links to these predatory sites.

Don’t forget, to many children a property. The purpose of procreation is to ensure that your own stupid, narrow sighted, ill-informed views propagate across centuries. Brutal isn’t it. I understand that doing something is better than nothing but at the same time you have to allow that the illusion of progress is perhaps more dangerous. It’s a conundrum that I fear will be our demise. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this but I’m too stuck in my malaise to be convinced that anyone can see the forest in the trees. Cheers

Damn you!

As I said I won’t be reading this post I think it would be hypocritical to read any responses, so I won’t be reading this one either. Thanks best buddy!

Just for that I won’t be reading this post.

You’re absolutely right about single issues being absorbed, the most prevalent being gun rights and abortion in the u.s… I think I lean much more on the side of education and civic engagement you mentioned. Not easy to shove that down anybody’s throat. The moment you try to introduce a larger extent of that you’ll get the “brainwashing our kids” crowd crying fowl, even though they’re right. My solutions to these problems aren’t well received or practical given the current state. While I understand your objections and am willing to throw caution to the wind I don’t think a change to PR will really be of consequence.

Edit: I came back to this because I realized this sounded too defeatist. Certainly PR or something similar is the next best step. Nothing we do will happen quickly so the most important thing always is to keep moving.

A list of those beers please. Am happy to chip in! Cheers

Great piece, thanks.
