    Holy fuck curry is amazing.

    I thought it would take a long time to make and just be like a normal sauce but this took me 15 minutes and it's the most flavorful thing I've ever eaten. This and rice beats 99% of the meals I've ever eaten.

    Let's suppose, hypothetically, we wanted to prove your ears hang low.

    debate-me-debate-me

    Let's say your ears wobble to and fro. We can deduce from that that you could then tie them in a knot. Following that, we could argue you could also tie them in bow. With both of these things proven by judeo-christian logic, we would now be able to conclusively prove that you could throw them over your shoulder like a continental soldier. If we can say all this, ergo ex facto, your ears do hang low.

    I'm driving my electric truck down to place without power to provide power for 3-4 hours and then immediately getting stuck.

    Being in to weapons when you don't intend to kill someone is fucking weird.

    All things in life are secured by violence, if not your own than the state's violence. Refusing to learn weapons and self-defense is to abdicate your life to the mercy of Capital and the Fascists. The only reason people think otherwise is because they live in isolated, safe pockets of the West where they're unlikely to be violently killed.

    What most people don't understand beyond the theoretical is that all the horrible war and destruction you see on the news could one day happen to you. All the muffins in the world won't mean anything then. You're smart enough to recognize the need to prepare, refuse to do so at your own risk. At the very least, don't call the people who see the writing on the wall "weird" because you want to keep your head in the sand.

  • Making a realistic budget?

    Max out employer-matching 401k if you have it. Shove a lot of money in your IRA for tax purposes if it makes sense. Invest as much as you can as early as you can. Putting down 10% more in your 20's is going to be much more useful than putting 50% more in your 60's

    High yield savings accounts are good but a lot of them require $100,000 to reach the top amount.

  • What's the official Hexbear Party line on the Jaffa Cake "Cake or Biscuit" controversy?

    Of course, I hate everyone who attacks the primacy of the Jaffa cake in the processed snack world. We need a holy war against the kkkracka oreo cookie and its Masonic symbolism.
