That must've been giving off a wonderful aroma. Especially combined with the cholera squirts of the era and ever present urine stank

Yeah my family is from the Midwest. On my mom's side we're 4th gen Norwegians who founded a town in Kansas (pretty sure it's Kansas). They arrived just before the depression and I'm pretty sure my family's legacy of bland cooking is partly a result from that and our Norwegian heritage. We still make kumla every year. Good stuff (minus the canned veggies. Seriously Midwest, it's ok to use fresh vegetables)

You're probably right, I just wanted to take a cheap shot at the Midwest haha

Is that why the Midwest was addicted to canned vegetables, "casseroles", and why they're allergic to anything more flavorful than salt and pepper?

Don't get me wrong, Im a metalhead too and generally agree that metalheads are cool people. But you're way more likely to find a Nazi at a metal show than almost any other genre. Punk has a Nazi problem too. It's just the way "outsider" music goes. It attracts everybody on the margins, whether or not they're open minded. That said, if my car was broken down and I needed help from a stranger, I'd still be looking for the metalheads, punks, goths, jughalos, etc. They're generally decent people and it's a shame that we have to deal with shit stains who ruin our collective image

It isn't theft, it's copyright infringement. Otherwise known as a bullshit crime that corporations invented to force the state to protect their bottom line. An individual infringing on a corporations copyright is, at worst, neutral. The artists working on these movies, games, albums, etc are either salaried, contracted, or having the majority of their profits siphoned off from their publisher. If you really care about supporting artists, throw independent artists a few bucks where you can and "steal" to your hearts content from the companies that already exploit their creative workforce.

Honestly, I wish pirating measurably hurt corporations bottom lines. They need to go down and that would be the easiest way to do it. But decades of rampant piracy have shown that piracy actually helps these companies in most instances, as people who have pirated a product and like it are more likely to purchase the product in the future compared to someone who simply hasn't used the product in question.

Additionally, many smaller or independent creators either don't give a shit about piracy or actively encourage those without the means to pay to pirate it anyway. People who are doing it for the love of their craft aren't profit centered ghouls who only care about enriching themselves and create things to contribute to our shared culture and entertainment. Pull your head out of your ass

Tell that to all of the white nationalist metal bands out there. Not trying to be snarky but metal has had a massive Nazi problem since day 1. Case in point, the metal genre in the OP is riddled with racist scum

Get some keto bread. It's basically pure fiber in bread shape. The aldi keto bread is fantastic

Do cats not have sodium ion channels?

Flicking my bean in my jeans while I ponder my orb

I may have worded that weird. Just to be clear, food not bombs in general isn't a social democrat org. The chapter in my town just so happens to be run by them. More often than not, you'll find at least a handful of anarchists in the mix at a food not bombs group
