Mebh posted:I want a left wing government, not a poo poo neoliberal excuse for a party that will do nothing useful and fall on its arse making the next election after they win go even more rightward. If there's something to take away from 30 years of Labour boosting neoliberalism it's that the left supporting a Labour Party that offers them crumbs does nothing good. Socialist ideas just become harder and harder to imagine for the public as realistic, to the point that even limp social democratic ideas are dismissed as implausible fantasy. I'm not going accept the least worst option anymore. It's not accelerationism that makes me want Labour destroyed to make way for a new party of the left, it's quite the opposite. The crumbs aren't enough. The little New Labour offers is not enough. Accepting the status quo is a reactionary position.

Properly boiled broccoli is delicious. I never got the broccoli hate until I stayed at a friends house and discovered the taste and texture of broccoli thats been on the boil for far too long. It should have crunch! I'd rather eat it raw than overboiled again.

Your should steam your broccoli instead of boiling it if you want to avoid overdoing it 🥦

yeah I steam broccoli (and fry the stem) and it's always been lovely. technically I actually boil it in very little water because I don't have the equipment I could eat a vegetarian diet but the promise of dying 10 years earlier is too good to pass up

Bits of stalk go in the bottom of the pan, florets on top, a couple of cm water in the bottom. The stalky bits boil and the steamy bits steam, everyone's happy. E: I've been away from work for a few days on hols and jesus loving crisps it's difficult to get motivated again

All this meat chat reminds me, there was a thing the other week where (I think) a study plotting reduction in beef consumption against reduction in cow emissions was seized up by the Mail, and somehow turned into "Joe Biden's climate plan means you'll be rationed to one burger a month", to predictable outrage. Which made me think, is that so unreasonable? I'm down to less than that anyway, without Biden telling me to, having the occasional beef burger as a treat, but lots of delicious chickpea burgers.

It's perfectly reasonable, but most people are not at all reasonable. I eat basically no red meat, very little chicken, some fish, but shitloads of prawns, veg, tofu., etc. Seems like a pretty reasonable hierarchy of animal suffering and environmental impact (don't come at me with that seaspiracy poo poo)

And again, I eat a lot less fish, maybe once a fortnight from Sustainable Seafood Ireland, and Dublin Bay prawns. No argument that humanity's relationship to the sea is just as rapacious as every other biome

Meat makes up around 10% of people's carbon emissions, it's a good idea to cut down but it's not the end of the world if people don't. The real issue is how much carbon emissions are baked into existing in a western society at the moment, so even all the meaningful changes to your lifestyle in the world won't do all the work themselves. And this further ignores that as you'd expect, the richest people in the UK are those responsible for the most carbon emissions. Indervidual action will not fix the systemic flaws that lead to climate change. Also beef takes alot more energy (and therefore carbon emissions) per kg than fish does. There are other enviromental reasons to favour fish over land based meat, but there's msny different aspects to "environmentally friendly" and not everyone gives a poo poo about the same ones as you do.

Saying that they don't currently have those facilities and then saying they shouldn't build them is continuing the status quo where US companies make the drugs and then ship them over. AZ may say they're making the drug 'at cost' but I suspect that the way they work out the cost of making the vaccine involves some very hollywood accounting.

Yeah for me it's 1) that eating enough protein on a purely vegan diet would be a nightmare and probably end up requiring downright unhealthy amounts of protein powder and 2) dairy is just insanely good in cooking and the day I make margarine shortbread or dairy free caramel will be a cold day in hell

Pizza is definitely the main reason I don't see myself going vegan.

There are two made up wolves inside you, one is a made up vegan lecturing their friends about how meat is murder, the other is a made up carnivore harrassing vegans over dinner. The one that wins is neither, because they only exist on reddit. E: as an obligate carnivore the vegan wolf is also unlikely to win because it looks so weak
