If I can have any wish granted before I die, it’s to have universal healthcare so the next generations won’t have to suffer through this sort of bullshit. Healthcare shouldn’t cost a quarter of your salary.

The vasectomy ended up not happening because we switched insurance since I started setting it up. Now it’s gonna cost twice as much. So it’s getting put on hold until I probably have a stable job again. Kind of pissed at how awful my partner’s insurance is compared to what we where getting through ACA. Like sure let’s not only pay teacher’s the worse wages on the planet for a job that REQUIRES a degree but also enjoy you $800/month insurance with a super high deductable that doesn’t cover like anything.

Amen, brother. It’s not like it’s those shredder claws lol. Like I don’t have any other use for it but I use at least 1 lb of tofu a week so it’s still super useful regardless. I’d honesty recommend it for those that use tofu as much or more than I do.

To add to the habits question. I’ve gotten way more serious about looking at ingredients and will even do an internet search in the isle on ingredients I’m not sure about so that I don’t make the purchase and find out later that I goofed.

As dumb as it sounds, I bought a tofu press like a year ago and have gotten a ton of use out of it. I know you can just use plates and cans to weigh it down but having this one “single use kitchen gadget” has actually been really useful. I just toss a block in and snap on the rubber band things and press down the side arm things and forget about it. I set it next to my coffee maker by my sink so when I go get another cup of coffee I remind myself to drain the water.

It’s not even fancy, just like a cheap plastic one that cost me like $10.

E: I suppose this is habit adjacent.

I think it’s honestly just a defense based on the stereotypes about veganism from the media. I’m still new-ish to veganism but it took me back a bit. Like I don’t really care what my chud Trumper mom eats.

Won’t somebody think of the drop shippers?!?!

It was called “Manifest Destiny” and it was promised to us crackers by the word of God, sweaty. Read a history book.

Thanks for the explainer. I was legit out of the loop but still wanted to throw the joke in there. Can’t wait for that to somehow be our fault too.
