Aren’t these the same idiots who threw food at the paintilngs and people defended them with “well the paintings are covered with protective glass either way so they’re not doing any harm, just publicity for a good cause”? Like I’m all for protesting and especially old fashioned ways that do more harm than good, but these people are just assholes trying to destroy invaluable art which is never going to do anything positive for their cause and on top of it all is literally so misguided. No oil company or production or anything is gonna give a fuck about some old painting and this only gives assholes ammo to paint these kinds of movements unhinged. It’s like they’re paid actors to make it look bad.
I’m not arguing for the value of the paintings but the idiocy of the protest. If it worked for the suffragettes (where it is even fathom able that it might have some relevance to the protest, unlike here) good for them, but this is nothing like that. This just paints them as idiots and does very little less. A common tactic used by the whatever shitty thing that’s supposedly being protested is to make fools of the protesting party. Even though this is apparently just idiots making everybody in the movement look bad. Yay. Lotta good that does…
If these idiotic stunts aren’t a smear campaign, these morons are doing their work for them.
Art isn’t only that though and if that’s the point it’s going to go unnoticed and unrealized by most people rendering any symbolism or point moot. A circlejerk where people pat themselves on the back on the oh-so-deep symbolism and historical callbacks is not going to change anything but the brunches of some pretentious assholes who think they’re saving the world when they’re actually doing more harm than good.
This is more like protesting the fur industry by releasing the caged, tortured animals into the wild to wreak more havoc as an invasive species to the enviroment and ecosystem they’re released into, but at least people can cheers themselves for making a difference.
What are all the fillings? I made veggie sushi for the first time just last week and I’m looking for ideas.
I went with frozen tofu that I did my best to marinate as fishy as possible (still working on that one), avocado, cucumber, carrot. The tofu was supposed be the main star, but it was a little underwhelming. Gonna try carrot lax type of thing next time. I mean it’s good with just veggies because the main thing to me apparently is just the nori, rice, soy sauce and wasabi, but a little variety never hurt.
Here’s the full album: Envaatnags Eflos Solf Esgantaavne/Evangels of Satan. Whole album is just great from start to finish, one of my favorite black metal albums.
And the original/official final track without the two bonus tracks, also just a fucking banger, maybe even more-so than the opener: Kuoleva Lupaus (“The Dying Promise”)
I mean the correct order is the tip with a bite of the crust from one side, then continue to go along that side biting a piece of the crust along with the base pizza. Unless you have something like curry on the side, then you can just not eat the crust at all and use it as breadsticks for the curry.
I’m confused by this comic, because she’s literally eating it crust first, which is not the side. And crust first is a 100% qualified way to eat pizza.
Oooh garlic butter is gonna be my next one to try. Pizza and spiiicy spicy curry is my hangover special - leftover curry and make or order pizza and then eat the crusts with the sauce. Garlic butter sounds like heaven though.
E: Tomato soup is also another great one for dipping crusts.
To me it’s like eating your least favorite candy in a mixed bag first - you’re left with the best part last. You have to leave just a bit of it so you can still grab it.
E: Also, if you eat all the crusts last they usually go dry and hard instead of nice and warm when you eat them first or as you go along. Depends on whether the dough is good really.
I agree, if you are. Never said anything about force feeding though.
A good dough is just good bread, but anyone who has ever eaten bread will know it’ll dry and get hard if it sits out in the open for long enough. And even then, it can make for good breadsticks for sauce or soup or whatever if it’s a good dough. Like I said, it all boils down to how good the dough/crust is. I don’t really eat shitty pizza with shitty dough though so I don’t really have the problem of “force feeding” the crusts. The dough, along with the tomato sauce is one of the most important parts of a good pizza IMO.
Ensimmäinen ajatus otsikosta oli, että eikö ne ole käytännössä kaikki Nestlen tai Unileverin ja siellähän se oli heti melkein ensimmäisenä. Ukrainan sota on hyvä syy vältellä näitä, mutta vaikka ne Venäjältä vetäytyisikin, ei ole yhtäkään hyvää syytä tukea ko. maailman niskaan paskovia yhtiöitä. Harmi että kaikki isot, ennen hyvät jäätelöt on myyty näille. Pitää jäätelöissäki perkele hipsteröidä.

Ai nekö on tarkoitettu siihen, että porukka ei kattois jotain? Ite oon aina luullu että niiden pointti on nimenomaan enemmän semmonen vastuuvapaus mahdollisesti traumaattisen sisällön näyttämisestä tuotannon puolesta. “Saattaa sisältää pieniä määriä maapähkinää” tjsp., mutta kyse vaan väkivallasta, huumeista tai tisseistä. Toisinsanoen “ei ole meidän vastuulla jos sinua häiritsee nämä asiat, ei ole meidän vastuulla.”. Mikä mun mielestä on ihan täysin loogista. Ihmiset on ihan yleensä helvetin tyhmiä.
Good point, they probably are. A cassette can fit in a pocket though, it’s like a greeting card and usually comes with a download code. CD’s are just lame :D I don’t know man.
Oh haha, perfect. You have a ukulele? I highly recommend one even just for you if you want to learn. There’s something weirdly inoffensive and less threatening about a uke that it’s easier to approach while it’s literally just a mini guitar with four strings. I’ve played guitar since I was under 10 years old and I have half a dozen guitars, but I find myself playing most on these tiny, cute guitars. Like you have a minute till the water’s boiling, you can just grab it for a second and chuck it back on the corner of the sofa. Like you’re not “really playing” - you’re just killing time, but you actually are.
Also just the fact that it has less strings literally makes it less difficult and you can still play it like a guitar. I kind of hate this trend that everyone plays it like they’re on vacation in Hawaii, because it literally is just a tiny guitar. It’s the perfect starter guitar.
I’d say it’s easier, already because there are less strings so the amount of fingers needed and frets to press are less. Like you can play an E minor chord with just one finger on one string. The standard tuning is like the highest 4 strings of a normal guitar. I’d say the size can make it softer on the fingers as well. Other than that it’s literally just a tiny guitar. Plus you van get one for pocket change or even a decent one for less than a 100€/€. Also because it’s so small you can take it literally anywhere.
Haha perfect. Glad she can hear now. But lol yeah, maybe a little early to start.
Honestly I wouldn’t know really, I think it’s all kind of subjective. My nephews started expressing interest anywhere from 4-12 years old. Exposure can/will help though usually. The nephews and nieces that saw and heard me or my BIL play more got interested earlier. A ukulele is kind of automatically in an open tuning so you can just strum or pick the strings without even doing anything with the fret hand and it sounding nice can encourage them to learn more - when you can just make something that sounds nice with minimal effort it will make it easier to apporach. I didn’t even teach them any chords at first. Just kind of show like, how much you can do with just going up and down one string with even just one finger can make something that sounds nice. Kids are still developing the muscles their fingers and motor functions, just like adults who don’t play or use their fingers in such a way, but I think it might be even harder for kids. I can remember a hundred times I almost gave up be cause it was just too hard physically to hold the chords, especially on an oversized classical guitar for tiny child hands.
Like you can even try for yourself. You don’t even need to tune the uke differently, just strum the open strings and then go up and down a basic scale on the highest pitched (E) string (on the bottom of the neck): 0-2-3-5-7-8-10-12 frets, in different variations and find a melody. You don’t need to do anything with any other string, just strum the open strings along with that one string. Just as an example. From there just expand the same mentality to other strings and start using more fingers. Too much theory can kill any interest very quickly and personally I think it’s such an ass-backwards way to approach music. Like learning grammar and how to write before learning to speak.
Sounds like she’s already off to a better start even before starting then! Hope you both have fun learning and sharing the love for music.
I didn’t even have a teacher, I just had a couple of books, and thought that was the only way to learn so I pushed myself to strain my hands and my head to figure it out because I really wanted to learn and it really fucked my hands up for decades leading to further and further problems with advancing. After over two decades I finally corrected my hand position and well, ergonomy and everything became so much easier. Problems I wouldn’t have had if I’d had proper teaching or even a proper instrument for my tiny hands. Carpal tunnel is no fun, especially when the number one thing you want to do is play. If only someone had told me the things I know now.
