  • My take is that the afterlife comes in three phases, yes phases because as much as it gives the fundies a hard-on there’s literally nothing humanly possible to do that could justify a permanent state of the worst torment imagineable.

    Phase 1, atonement, you do the hard work for the souls you’ve harmed in your life to forgive you and release the chains that bind your soul.

    Phase 2, forgiveness, you do the harder work of forgiving what wrongs have been done to you. Those chains hold you to your material existence, and you have to let go of them to be ready to move on.

    Phase 3, reunion, the veil behind which no eyes may see. All you’ll know is that by now anyone you haven’t met yet from your life has done the soul rending work you have and walked beyond it. They’re on the other side, and they’re waiting for you to join them, what that’ll look like, probably some 4-D amalgamation of every heaven or paradise or state of eternal bliss ever foretold by human words, and yet also none of those things, because not only do we not understand it, doing the hard work of being forgiven and doing all the forgiving is what it takes for you to be ready to understand it. I think it is what specifically god spoke of when they said they are both and yet neither of human binaries, and incomprehensible in their true essence to the human mind.



  • I refuse to believe that there isn’t a secret containment plan that all nuclear powers are coerced into agreeing to that basically gives every other nuclear power the right to intervene and secure the nukes from paramilitaries and terrorists in the event of state collapse.

    The only reason I would presume NK isn’t in on it is because everyone’s agreed by now that if they fall it’s gonna be a race between China and South Korea for who can press a legitimate claim first.


  • Don’t worry, if Kyiv’s getting nuked, so are all the rest of us, so you’d have found out long before you had time to read about it! :D

    More seriously, someone’s really gotta figure out how to attack the nuclear arms specifically. Putin is making it obvious that the world will never be safe if there’s even the remotest chance some lunatic could gain the ability to fire those things.

    It would have to be the fastest military operation ever conducted in human history, but if it worked, it would save the world.

    IIRC the ring mold donut pizzas were specifically for that meeting and what they were cut out from was what you’d usually get if you ordered that pizza

    Point still stands that the caramalization is why you’ll see really good deep dish pizzas and skillet pizzas stop building up the sides of the dough with enough space for the sauce to overflow a bit.

    It cooks and brings out the sweetness, and then hardens into effectively being the rest of your crust

    Of course if you’re going traditional there’s other routes to get other mixes of flavors but the sauce rim is something pretty specific to the pan made family.


  • I disagree with the Great John Stewart’s maxim on the subject, but I will say that Deep Dish is definitely there to satisfy a different taste than traditional pizza makes.

    Just watch Food Theory’s perfect burger video, stack order matters! And the ideal crust can stand up to the sauce beginning to soak it a little so don’t try to say that it’s to put a wall between the crust and the sauce. The Bear had it right, you wanna be doing that kinda jazz because you’re looking to get caramelized sauce crust to get a crunchy sweet rim on the whole deal.


  • Everyone keeps talking about plant substitute meat as if we don’t have a developing lab grown replica industry that could do the job just as well, one that actual vegans have admitted they’d consider as a legitimate source of food since it doesn’t directly involve an animal or animal byproduct.

    I think what we’re gonna see is a diversification of the “meat” market with lab grown meat taking the niche of your traditional burgers bacons and sausages, plant substitute leaning into their differences to create more uniquely marketable products, probably selling on their health benefits since people who go off meat for an extended period and then try it again often report a readjusting period tied to how much energy the body has to commit to breaking meats down, and lastly the “fresh meat” industry will go full wagyuification.

    They won’t have the ability to compete at market scale, so they’ll instead make their niche in selling a luxury quality product. Cattle ranchers and bison runners are gonna watch the old looming factories fall over and the owners come running begging to invest in the old fashioned cattle and bison raising that they’re now gonna try and sell as creating some superior quality of meat product that justifies the mark-up they’re gonna need to sell with to stay in the game longer term.
