  • I got to go to up to 7 ingredients and I’m counting the four mandatory veg as one ingredient (1 cup each of carrot, onion, celery and 1 tablespoon of diced garlic) that I call mirepoix.

    African ground nut stew:

    • 10 chicken thighs
    • 4 cups of mirepoix
    • Large can of diced tomatoes
    • Can of tomato paste
    • Cup of chicken stock
    • 2 cups of mushrooms

    -High pressure for 28 mins

    Stir in 3 tablespoons of unsweetened peanut butter to thicken.

    If you want to make it 8 ingredients then add hot sauce to taste.


  • He was milquetoast compared to actual progressive politicians. He folded like all paid opposition party Democrats when it came to the public option.

    He put his finger on the scale to get others to drop out all on the same day so Bernie wouldn’t win the nomination and you got Biden instead.

    They would likely do away with term limits for Republicans only since they can make their own rules and even if they didn’t Obama wouldn’t run for another term because he would say it isn’t the way the founding fathers wanted and the all important parliamentarian said no.



  • Hold on tightly, let go lightly.

    The Croupier in Croupier.

    It doesn’t come with extra instructions, so it means what I want it to mean and someone else may have it mean something else entirely. For me it means hold on to the important things tightly while they are important and when they aren’t then it is time to let them and other things go.

    Don’t carry things that don’t need to be held onto, especially if you can’t control them. I hold onto the memories of my sister both good and bad, I embrace the pain of her not being here anymore when they come, then I let the pain go because I keep ahold of the happiness she brought into people’s lives while she was here.








  • I think the ancient Romans would make their richest people pay for the construction of warships. You would only get out of it by pointing to a richer person to pay.

    Do that but not for warships, pay for infrastructure repair, all those roads and bridges that keep the economy going need to be brought up to today’s standards and new bridges built to replace ones that are crumbling. Their wealth could not have been built if not for the roads and tracks that are now crumbling beneath years of cuts to local and state/provincial governments.




  • Greed is the biggest issue we have in this world right now.

    It should be made to be a mental health disorder that must be treated professionally and by taking away the money not needed to operate their business.

    Kill tax breaks and strip the rich with 90% taxes on everything over 5 million dollars of any money they make even capital gains and investment income.

    Own one home pay regular taxes, own two double the tax, own three triple the tax and so on until no one wants to own more homes. Same goes for corpos that rent to people at above market rates using software to drive rental prices up.

    Greed must be made to be shameful and punishable not accepted and desired. Robber barons like Musk and Bezos should taxed into non existence.



  • Self is the only thing we can be sure of, being selfless is possibly altruistic but could also be putting the only thing you can be sure of behind things that may not be important to ones being.

    Not to say that being selfish is the way to be but giving all yourself away or keeping all for yourself are very unbalanced ways to get through the world, balancing the give and take of life is the path to living a peaceable life.


  • Three last ones were:

    Some blatant ripoff of Silence of the Lambs/ generic serial killer movie with Martin Lawrence and John Malkovich. Got 30 mins in and they may as well have used the same sets as SotL because somehow serial killers get the largest cells in the world so they can paint and look at files for murder cases and make phone calls to detectives just before they go to the execution chamber. - Mindcage

    The last Die hard move, Barely mentally there Bruce Willis destroying moscow during a car chase just so he can yell at his son. - A good Day to Die Hard

    Some Garbage Marky Mark movie set in Boston where he was a private eye or something, we got 30 mins in and it was so bad we guessed how obvious they were being and how bad it was going to be and skipped to the end to see if we were right. (we were) - Spenser Confidential
