tech/user freedoms
@kibi Trusting the user is the first step towards being seen as a gatekeeper instead of a service-provider. Models which give agency to the user risk empowering the user to not rely on the service, which costs the service money.
Smash Capitalism.
Fetish discourse
@angrboda I don't think it's possible to give a definitive answer. I think I have my answer. That's about all I can do.
@zx3 This year's all about Fudge.
Shit what Electric Keet Says
@Oneironott No, no, this is clearly somebody's Shadowrun game from college. Sophomore year, maybe junior.
@Soreth @ElectricKeet I mean prima materia, yes.
Let There Be Lips
@vahnj @indi @anthracite Oh, heavens no, there's no _requirement_ on any of this. No content should be considered "gatekeeping" and nobody should be considered in or out based on their appreciation of any particular piece of media. I'm personally more focused about the "out" because I've seen too many people excluded for liking things others had declared anathema, but "in" is equally an issue for folks who've been pressured to enjoy things they found uncomfortable.
Drugs, Domestic Dispute
Will somebody please tell my darling love @ElectricKeet that they're TRICHOMES, not "flavor crystals?"

@indi @vahnj @anthracite This is something I feel like I have to remind myself and others. RHPS was part of my introduction to queer culture. I saw it first when I was a teenager and it was not only enlightened but transgressive. I feel like we've lost the means to contextualize history. I never hear about how progressive things were then, only how problematic they are now. Only ideal praxis counts, and only until culture shifts.
@irisjaycomics @skolli@mastodon.social @x I do, and I've recently unlocked the no-knead bread secrets.
I may die, but I will die happy.
@skolli@mastodon.social @irisjaycomics Omigod. I have to try this with either honey or bananas instead of jam. =@x@=
@irisjaycomics @skolli@mastodon.social I can totally see that! Peanut butter makes an excellent base for both Thai and Indian dishes.
@irisjaycomics @skolli@mastodon.social Oh, I've got plenty of workarounds. You just rattled off an awesome-sounding blend of spices and I had a moment of lamentation, is all. Black pepper/cumin/oregano/cinnamon/orange has become one of my new go-tos for flavoring stuff to give it a sweet-spicy kick. That and garam masala, which can amazingly be made without capsaicin. =o.o=
@irisjaycomics @skolli@mastodon.social I miss cayenne pepper. =;.;=
@irisjaycomics @skolli@mastodon.social I typically ended up using a lot of eggs so what I got was basically a firm omelette sandwich, but I also season the hell out of it and I'm okay with the texture of that, so, like, YMMV. Also, black beans would be amazing in that, as would TVP barely rehydrated with vegetable broth and liquid smoke (which I think is still safe if you make it right?).
@irisjaycomics @skolli@mastodon.social I found you can whisk some flour into eggs and basically make egg-burgers. =O.O=
