I eat celery and peas, I like scallions in certain dishes, I get pickles and lettuce on my burgers or sandwiches… I’m eating plenty of green stuff, just not that green stuff. I’ve never tried zucchini tho, will have to check that out.

That was in fact my point, yes, that capitalism needed to be replaced with something that isn’t blowing up on the regular. But that’s not very likely to happen until it blows all the way up and the ‘silent majority’ who are content and propagandized into inactivity discover just how fucked they are and are forced to wake up.

You were effectively saying ‘we can’t change big stuff’, and then I provided an example of a big thing we changed because we decided to. My point, then, is: sure we can, we do all the time. We won’t because we’re all addicted to cheap goods and outsourced labor and shit, but won’t is a fair distance from can’t.

Celery I don’t mind, it’s just pretty bland without PB or cheese or w/e. I think you’re thinking of cilantro though, and… probably a combination of nature and nurture; I’m sure if I ate more of those foods as a kid I would like them more too. shrug

I wouldn’t really say I was addicted to soda, I just don’t like the taste of water and soda was kinda the only alternative that I liked until my body decided ‘nah fuck it, let’s do something different’ on me.

And yeah I drank mostly Mt Dew, so the super sugary/caffeine-loaded stuff. Blech. I can still drink it, but only in small quantities, vs where I was before, going through 4 2L bottles a week of the stuff.

Respectfully, you clearly don’t know how I meant it.

I am biased against Israel because I do not judge it impartially. I tend to assume the worst about it (which I believe is justified through many years of reading about the awful, awful shit it does to people), in a decision about which side gets the benefit of the doubt in some matter I will never give it to Israel, and I am disinclined to believe pretty much anything it says, even after I filter out the propaganda.

If that’s not bias then apparently we’re using different dictionaries. Try this one.

I’m grateful that when my dinner decided not to stay down that it at least was in a hurry to get out and I could stop feeling like shit in a couple minutes instead of lingering nausea for like an hour with no movement like normal. It’s the little things.

It’s an accelerationist’s wet dream. Things are gonna get real bad here soon, and the best we can hope for is the when the backlash comes it will be swift and lasting.

Drinking soda. I drank it pretty much to the exclusion of all else for decades, it helped ruin my teeth and probably contributed to my developing diabetes at age 50. How it happened was kinda weird, one day I just felt like drinking something else, got some sweet tea at a restaurant or something, and it tasted great without being syrupy or too sweet and just perfectly hit the spot. That day I bought a tea maker and by the end of the week I poured out what was left of my soda stash and never looked back. Once in a great while I’ll have a craving for Barq’s root beer or something, but it’s all soooo gassy and syrupy.

Also quit smoking 2 years ago.

So the color isn’t what bothers me obviously, but the color is affected by the same things that affect the flavor. There’s a very strong green taste in stuff like spinach and broccoli that either isn’t there or is quite a bit milder in peas, and that’s what I have issue with.

I mean I know how it’s spelled, I recognize it when I get it backwards, it’s just muscle-memory fucks me about half the time.

Judging from the number of downvotes my comment got, I guess I am too now.

And yeah, I’ve been calling it a genocide for more than a year now, but even I know not to take such a biased source’s word without some corroborating reporting from elsewhere.

The bomb, for the record, is capitalism, and it’s going off all the time but the blast radius has started growing sharply of late. The only even theoretical way to stop it from encompassing everyone is to dismantle it and replace it with something else, but that requires a level of political will that we’ll not see until even the oligarchs are feeling it. So we’re absolutely going to get an earth-shattering kaboom, no getting around that, it’s just a question of what we build in the smoking crater.

Nah, more like ‘Let’s get rid of the ozone hole’, which we said, and then did.

Green beans, broccoli, spinach, brussels sprouts, stuff like that. Peas are green but they’re kind of a lighter green instead fo the darker green of those foods.

Yup, I get seize backwards a lot cause it violates the i before e except after c rule.

I really dislike tofu, the taste and texture both are just blech. However, I don’t universally hate green beans; a friend of mine makes this green bean and potato casserole with dill flavoring and that shit is great. But just by themselves, boiled or whatever, meh.

Asparagus painted with butter, grilled, then served with lemon juice squeezed over them are heavenly.

At that point you’re just burying the flavor of the asparagus with butter and lemon juice, and I can think of better-tasting things to convey those flavors. ;)

I like some but dislike most. I love peas, corn, (soft) carrots, black eyed peas. Green beans are meh, depends how they’re cooked. Can’t do broccoli or asparagus or spinach or any of the really green stuff.

This. Been doing this for decades and it’s great. Still fuck certain words up for some reason tho. Separate, people, etc.

No doubt, I’m not saying fascism now is better by any stretch (which is why I said ‘boom tomorrow is definitely better than boom today’ in the comment that started this thread), I’m saying we should be pissed about the fact that our only choices are both fascism and do something about it.
