I agree. Ghee is very nice for popcorn. And for everyone who isn’t into milk products, vegetable ghee has the same qualities and flavor profile.

@spiderkle So, do you want to be paid in pressed latinum or oppressed latinum?

I’m no expert in these matters. But I can’t imagine ghee (clarified butter) being very healthy either in large quantities. If you are vegan (which I’m not) this a way to taste the op’s popcorn suggestion. I get the feeling you already had an opinion on the whole ghee/fake vegan ghee thing. And al I can say is, in the Indian cuisine, with a relatively large vegan population, fake ghee is a thing. Not some hipster hype.
This was about taste and cooking. Not about health.

@sunshine It’s very true. There are ways to break the cycle but being poor often means also not having the time to fix or pick up stuff. I have been living of a low income for years now. I think like 80% percent of the stuff I own has been free or second hand.
Clothes dryer, washing machine, dishwasher, oven, microwave, furniture, clothes etc. etc. Sometimes it’s tedious and frustrating.
But I also didn’t have to work full time or two jobs just to buy all that crap new.
It means I get to spend money on good shoes for me and the kids. Good mattresses. New clothes for the kids because social pressure dictates it. Food.
The rest I build, repair, trade etc. etc. If this capitalist society collapses I’m fucked, off course.

@Otakat Yes. Sometimes it’s very specific. I burned money on items that where damaged beyond repair but looked ok on first glance, or just from a different production run that had terrible quality control.
At the moment, mostly due to inflation, people with better income have discovered the second hand market. Which leads to increased prices at thrift stores and online marketplaces. Sometimes the prices in thrift stores are higher for cheap made in china stuff then getting it new in “dollar shop” like places. It’s bizarre.

@huskypenguin I agree. I think I’m rich in time. That’s why I don’t think I’m poor. It could al be an illusion. Like most people I’m just one missed paycheck away from serious debt and maybe two from losing the house due to missed rent.

@veganpizza69 Awesome. Reminds me of a documentary about the Amish, where this one guy used a windmill to pressurize an used train wagon for oil or liquids (round, airtight) that he had dug in, to run all kinds of air tools without him having to worry about running out of pressure for a week.

@TommySoda I still have scars, Tim. Not again.
