I'll co-sign on liking the size of this forum. Big enough to have lots of variance in personalities, but not so big it has dozens of dead subforums like reddit does. Also, significantly less nazis (although apparently there are some?).

I feel like most of the attempts at reforming the place, like GBS2.0, have failed in part because Lowtax really badly wants to be apolitical, and wants the forums that way too. There way no way it was gonna get big at all and stay just a funny haha forum, especially when we made tribute.wmv

I remember back in 05 or 06 someone registering and then posting a late-night thread in GBS about the global threat caused by trans folx. They could be your friends, your coworkers! Teaching your children! A transwoman could have a vagina and could be in your bed right now!

Even back then in the lovely days where words like 'trap' got thrown around casually people had the good sense to say "who gives a poo poo? gently caress off weirdo."

misspelled

I bought 2 and gave one to my redneck Bro-in-law. Afterwards I noticed that it says "Redneck Toothick" and NOT "Toothpick" on the blade. He didn't notice it but I did. Oh well, for the money, it's a pretty solid knife. The snap on the cheap plastic sheath broke the first time I tried to unsnap it so I replaced it with some velcro, and the reinforcing rivets on the sheath are worthless, so I replaced those with some larger, solid rivets. After adding a conch to the sheath, the whole thing looks pretty sharp now. After polishing and putting a better edge on the blade, I now have a knife that looks great in my collection and is also functional. This is NOT a complaint review, I'm just stating a few facts, the knife itself is awesome and well worth what BudK is charging for it.

Actually speaking of guacamole I've been pretty unhappy about the way that mine has been turning out and I was wondering if you all could help. The recipe is:

3 avocados

1 teaspoon salt

1 medium red onion, diced

3 tablespoons cilantro, minced

3 tablespoons ketchup

1 lime, juiced

2 cloves crushed garlic

Pinch of red pepper flakes

Any ideas?

Feral Integral posted:

a lot going on here. you using a molcajete or what

things i like to do: pinch some epazote in there first with some pepper or whatever. dice and mash up some of the onion with the garlic into the spices getting those juices out. i like to cut the avo into large chunks at before i start mashing it into spice/onion/garlic slurry. reserve a few chunks to add at the end to have a nice chunky texture

maybe less lime juice and cilantro, especially if you add epazote. more garlic. i wouldnt add ketchup but even that recipe would turn out *ok* if you prepare the ingredients well and give it some love. oh yeah where the gently caress are your tomatoes

TeenageArchipelago posted:

In the ketchup. Do you think maybe I'm just not adding enough tomatoes? I can do more ketchup if needed. I am worried about the spice levels though

EmbryoSteve posted:

Get that ketchup out of there. I've never even heard if guacamole with ketchup

TeenageArchipelago posted:

What would I even replace it with? Sweet Baby Ray's has tomatoes, I think. Would that work? Though I think I would need a dab of mayo then?

JesustheDarkLord posted:

Just get a can of skinned whole tomatoes and dump that poo poo in

TeenageArchipelago posted:

I mean, I've tried doing it that way before, but in my experience the guac breaks by the time you get it up to a boil and the avocado burns in the pan


Son of Thunderbeast posted:

are you using a genuine ¡Jeb! guac bowl? That's probably your issue there

TeenageArchipelago posted:

No, I've been using cast iron. Is that my problem? Do I need to be using a different bowl to mix it in?

What even in the gently caress...

Mushika posted:

No, but it definitely needs more ketchup. Try peanut butter if you're out, it works well.

e: how is this still going? I'm impressed.
