anons when the brine in a jar of pickles or olives turns yellow does that mean it's gone bad?

My sister just taught me an easy recipe for a greek yogurt dough pizza, which is perfect for me since I normally hate baking.
1 cup greek yogurt
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1)Mix in bowl for a little while with a spoon, once it's more of a stable dough, switch to mixing it with your hand, rolling the dough around the bowl.

2)Dust the table or other surface you'll manipulate the dough on with flour, take the dough out of the mixing bowl and put it on the surface. Gently push down on the dough ball with your hands, but don't pull it. Once you've pushed the dough down, dust a rolling pin with flour and roll out the dough. Once flat, crimp the sides of the dough to make a crust.
3)Lightly oil or apply parchment paper to a baking pan, transfer the flattened dough to the pan and add your tomato sauce and toppings. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees (F) or 200 (C). Insert the baking pan and cook for 10-15 minutes, then rotate the pizza 180 degrees and cook for another 10-15 minutes.
This feeds one person if you're very hungry.

>Ward is liberal
Wildbow predicted the rise of "titans" who cause the foundations of the world order to crack

Worm was a story about the collapse of liberalism into neofeudalism, as seen in Hurricane Katrina. Its sequel Ward is about how these inhuman tech oligarchs like Elon Musk are far above normal bourgeoisie, just as Porky capitalists are above workers. That's why Glory Girl is so triggered by the idea of titans being way stronger than her where regular people are like "lol its just Thursday for us, relax". This accelerationism trend of wealth accumulation towards the ultra powerful makes the "petite" bourgeois class very offended by the idea that Elon Musk has exponentially more hegemony than they ever will. Taking control over the firmament on which we all stand isn't fair!!!

there anything sketchy about the UN doing all this? seems too good to be true

Perfect

Alright long story short, I used to be poor but rented a space with some gardenspace which was cool.

I moved and had to give that up (which really kinda depressed me) but now I have an easy, good paying job right now. I'm just planning to save some money and buy a field somewhere where I can put a small enough living space (or with a few people). With some luck I can turn this in a fully remote job too.

I'll love this thread. I used to work for am organic farm. It was pretty cool but I couldn't keep working there, also I want to go further.

Thank you for reading my blogpost.

The UN sometimes does good things. Not everything about it is the security council. They probably are taking advantage of the situation somehow but it's still good to slow down desertification.

>>46171
Thank you for writing it. Good luck on turning it into a remote job and getting the field.

>>46071
>there anything sketchy about the UN doing all this? seems too good to be true
there's nothing sus about it, they're just forced to respond to China's publicized success in reversing desertification. Some Western countries were forced to give their populations some succdem healthcare during the cold war because the USSR was doing it. Now China's advances in greening deserts is forcing the UN to finally follow some good policies.

This is what the kids call ragebaiting

I thought this was a very long music video for a tracklist made by a hipster millenial, like the movie holds the audience in such contempt that the parts that were obviously meant to be quiet have blaring post punk or whatever sounding in the background in case you get distracted and feel tempted to look at your phone, and that detracts from what would otherwise be more poignant scenes. Yes I want my coming-of-age subtext movies where people walk from point A to point B to be more meditative instead of glorified tiktok fan edit shit going on while a child internalizes the meaning of death or whatever

Idk, just didn't want to spoil the new episode for anyone watching so I thought marking it as spoiler would help.
I know that, in the comics, Magneto has been portrayed as being anti-Israel in some issues. And even through I agree that people project too much of their own struggle / politics in X-men, it's was kind of a predictable outcome, and I don't see it as negative (even if some people are a bit insufferable about it), it makes the series unique or at least a vanguard of this kind of story telling.

>>4121
I disagree. The "mutant struggle" works in universe because, like anon said it above, not all mutants are x-men. And even for those that are, a lot of mutations are more maleficial to their "hosts" and others around them than beneficial. In the real world, we have people with autism that are geniuses and others that are non-verbal.
Also, most mutants doing "crimes against humanity" a lot of times are products of people's hate on them and their kind. Even fucking Apocalypse has been given some kind of tragic backstory related to his powers (not that it entirely justifies what he does, but eh)

I haven't been hiking+camping for liek 4 years, I now live close to a super nice mountain chain, where I went to hike for a small hike the other day. I realize now i've been missing it so fucking much, I used to practically live like this lmao, it's really the only activity I actually fully enjoy.

I have a sawyer water filter that hasn't been used for a few years, should it still be safe for usage or would it be too risky? Also, if I would get a new one, are there some other generic brands that are just as good just less expensive? Shit feels way overprices (as usual with camping stuff).

I want to take more pictures though, still doubting whether i'll just use my phone or get a small camera. My phone camera sucks balls but i refuse to get another one.

went out recently, worked up quite a sweat. this lake is at ca 1500m altitude

The whole eating situation is making me reconsider my desire to go camping

I can only interpret it as Ron being an unreliable twat. I mean what else is he going to do, searching for the Horcruxes is literally the most important possible task. Always disliked him honestly. I'm Harrymionie til I die. I don't even remember why they suddenly started finding Horcruxes after he left.

I get that it being aimless is the point but as a story that's boring and unsatisfying. I've already been on enough shitty English camping holidays that seemed neverending, that's not what I read/watch fiction for.

https://www.imdb.com/list/ls003814436/

The last movie is the highest rated on IMDB and the second-last one of the highest rated, if you look at the reviews you can see people express that view I stated.

>>42876
>unreliable twat
Except he's not especially in the context of the scene, since despite being significantly injured (severe hypothermia, starvation, crippling injury etc.) he's still with Harry. Harry is the one projecting his fears of abandonment onto Ron. Ron was pretty much always there for Harry and never hesitated to stand up against threats and dangers no matter how scared he might have been.
>I don't even remember why they suddenly started finding Horcruxes after he left
They didn't. Ron left and then because of Hermione's wards couldn't find them despite basically trying to find them immediately after leaving, so he was searching for them for several weeks and came in for the save with the Sword of Gryffindor. Hell, he wanted to stay but Harry literally tells to him to leave repeatedly. Ron's biggest problem in the scene (and it's just realistic relative to such arguments) is that in his frustration and anger, he comes off a lot harsher and provokes a similar response from Harry, and Hermione in this instance was being an utter willow.

Also the movies cut out a lot of scenes and switched up dialogue that was important to Ron's character, resulting in him coming off as more of a prat than in the books.

IMDB is not a reliable source I'm going to be honest, primarily because the number of reviews and so on there are paltry compared to the sheer SIZE of the fandom itself. Almost everyone I knew hated it, even unreasonably so.

I agree that Ron/Hermione wasn't a very good pairing, but neither is Harry/Hermione.

I think the Eye of Sauron is literally the sun. Imagine in ancient times that someone told you the sun was a living being, a god, and he could see you all day while he was up. This is a key part of Abrahamic religion, right? This idea of an all seeing, all powerful entity that punishes.

On top of that, the "Sauron as a king" idea is just that some ancient kings were crowned as "son of the sun", or avatars of the sun itself. It's the Pharaoh.

Now, Tolkien's history with Mordor and Sauron goes to before our recorded history. Morder according to his maps is roughly modern day Romania. The very characteristic mountain range around it makes this clear.

So, what Tolkien is actually saying is that solar worship and the idea that the king is the avatar of the sun started here, and this religion of solar worship essentially led to the evils of empire building, as the above anon explained. It's anti-human.

>>46259
These proto-Romanians of 5000 BC created the Tartaria tablets, which is proof of their sophistication in that age. They were the products of steppe tribe invasion into Western European agricultural lands. This is probably the story of "Sauron" in LOTR who creates "orc slaves" out of "mud". This is the steppe tribe creating mutts out of the Romanian agriculturalists and turning them into slave soldiers for the empire. Everyone else then had to contend with this mighty economic power.

So, those proto-Romanians are in the same region as Greece and Anatolia. I think they moved southward and into the Mediterranean, and they became the Minoans, the Phoenicians, and the "Egyptians" (King Menes being the first Pharaoh, although some archaeologists believe Egypt existed for thousands of years before this, so King Menes and his descendants maybe didn't build the pyramids). Then, they moved eastward and became or conquered the Sumerians and Babylonians (and Mesopotamia at large). I believe the Babylonians called them Gutians in their age, so it didn't all happen instantly – they didn't conquer the whole world in one swoop.

In the end, it isn't even a single group of people that we can label so much as it is an influence from this ancient period that is felt by many people today, although some people try to claim they descend directly from them. I believe this may be the root of Judaism, but it's also in Hinduism. The whole thing about being the solar avatar is at the root of this all.

>It doesn't take super-vision to see up to the top of a tower, anon. Especially if there's a big, bright object up there.
That's true, but exposure to and use of the ring has also been altering Frodo on a fundamental level. I don't have the text at hand to reference but several times both while wearing the ring and without it Frodo is able to see beyond the physical world to the spiritual one beyond it.

>>46259
>So, what Tolkien is actually saying is that solar worship and the idea that the king is the avatar of the sun started here, and this religion of solar worship essentially led to the evils of empire building, as the above anon explained. It's anti-human.

Except the elves were worshipping the sun and moon back before they left the undying lands. The creation of the sun is a pretty significant event in the Silmarillion and is treated unequivocally as a good thing.

>>46263
Some variation of it then. The Black Sun worship could have started there. My understanding of the black sun is that it boils down to solar and lunar eclipses, and it would also probably be associated with comets and anything else that causes hellfire and years of acid rain and black/cloudy skies.
