My main point is that this has none of the macros of a hotdog so it hits differently than a hotdog. I am on tofu and chickpeas these days and I’m not really disputing the possibility of getting protein on a vegan diet, tofu and seitan are very under-rated by bro fitness chicken-and-rice guys. Those foods are pretty high in carbs compared to lean meat or non-fatty fish, I now have to eat a lot less stuff like bread and rice that’s only carbs now. Compared to fatty meat like a hotdog, those replace the fat with complex plant carb which is probably better for you, but is a struggle to adjust to.

When I ate hotdogs I could eat like 3 and be good for a while if that was my lunch. I don’t see myself eating 3 carrot-dogs and being good for a while.

A lot of people have surprisingly bad diets, I know too many people who don’t really eat vegetables. When a typical meat-eater thinks about going vegan, they imagine eating a giant carrot replacing their giant slab of meat, and this is why people come in and say these things. I understand that point of view on this as someone who struggles with switching, and a recipe that tries to emulate the flavour profile and form of a hotdog but not the having the actual stuff that makes you feel like you ate a hotdog 10 minutes ago is a confusing thing for a non-vegan.

There’s no real point to the original commenter, and there’s no real point to my comment. Other than me understanding where the other person comes from.

Well nutritionally instead of being half fat, half protein, and a ton of preservatives that are probably bad for you, it’s all complex-ish carbs and fibre.

Stuff like this ‘hot dog’ is where the “how do you even protein as a vegan bro” stuff comes about. Idk how you ‘fix’ that, maybe keto hotdog buns, and turning it into a bean chilli “dog”?

It sucks that you can’t just go all in on vegan direct replacements because the nutrition is so different and you won’t be full changing the macros of your meals overnight. If you had a terrible diet eating nothing but hotdogs and changed to this you’d feel hungry.

The whole building meals around a meat protein, and then having a bunch of other stuff diet is hard to break, and this sort of recipe is easy to give the impression that vegans are always hungry because it’s so foreign.

I notice that I have to add a lot more fat to my meals to balance them because vegan protein comes with a lot more carbs, unlike animal protein which comes with fat by default.

It’s called leasing a car you wanted anyways as a business expense sweaty.

You can also write off “light trucks” more than normal “cars”. Add in some green subsidies that probably exist under democrats, and there’s no point not having a new cybertruk.

Other than it potentially breaking your fingers if you use the frunk. Or not having rear visibility if you use the built in trunk cover. Or many design innovations.

The drum part is so fun in this

Buy a bunch in bulk from China, go to the meetup spot, and then sell them out the back of your car.

Already missed the boat on peak money making, but I think there are still enough stupid in lifted trucks that you can make money.

Does China hate American stuff as much as Americans hate Chinese stuff?

Or is their country still generally on the upswing while the US is in decline so they don’t care that much?

Always thought about selling trumpian t-shirts at rallies at big markup.

Brace Belden’s t-shirt is probably the best one:

❎ Democrat

❎ Republican

✅ Gay Guy

Except where I am they’d be “fuck Trudeau” t-shirts, stickers, etc.

The Titan Submersible was at least a classical feel-good tale of hubris.

This thing is just annoying, who cares.

Most progressive statement by a rapper in 2012, and maybe even now

sad for some reason

Same here. I feel like low energy Jeb right now. I’m getting a blood test and might find a doctor to start looking at meds.

I’m dreading finding meds that work for me because I’ll probably find ones with side effects I don’t like at first.

I should probably reach out to people, but I don’t feel like a good hang rn.

Is learning to code even valid anymore after generative AI?

I’d expect there to be a lot less space for jr programmers because of this.

Italians eat meatballs with roast potatoes, which makes more sense if you think of it like Italian meatloaf

It doesn’t matter what’s legal, it matters what you actually want to challenge in court or not.

Nintendo has shut down a romhack before (Project M - smash bros Wii mod). Even though you needed to have access to a legit copy to play it the way they tell you to on their website.

They’re even shutting down emulators that don’t include proprietary bios stuff that you’re “supposed” to rip off your own console. They shut down Nintendo Switch emulators.

It’s the picture for the onion article headline "heartbreaking: worst person you know makes a good point’

Respecting IP is when you become a paypig for adobe, Microsoft, and media companies.

Disrespecting IP is when those large companies steal from smaller fish who can’t do shit about it.

In capitalism there’s no winning either way with IP law. AI is allowed to pirate every book/newspaper in existence for training data, but you as a human have to pay hundreds of dollars to read academic papers and gain real knowledge. Or you can freely use an underpriced AI in it’s “capture the market” stage of pricing/use to give me the simulacrum of knowledge.

If I wrote open source code on github, I wouldn’t want Microsoft to use it to train anything, even if I’m okay with other people taking it to make useful open projects.

I don’t trust anyone else enough to drive a motorcycle. Too many car drivers are stupid, rash, and angry.

People here don’t even understand zipper merging. I had a debate with a friend about it who gets mad at people ‘skipping the line’. So 500m long lane reductions turn into 2km lane reductions because people don’t understand this.

Come out ye black and trans (doctor)

They were right, they are an untrustworthy seller.

Reminds me of when all their customer data leaked, and obviously the people who pirated didn’t have that issue.

If you’re injecting T I don’t think pro sports leagues let you compete in the women’s division.

You’re also putting words in my mouth and creating ridiculous comparisons, I’m not arguing untrained cis man with testosterone vs trained woman with IOC defined woman levels of testosterone. You also didn’t address the soccer example.

I don’t think I’d beat Serena Williams at tennis. But if there’s no gender in sport, the top 200 tennis players in the world who actually make a living off of tennis would be 99% men. I think even Serena Williams said something like that. The battle of the sexes in tennis was an old alcoholic vs a pro woman, and even that was pretty close. I think it’s sexist to say “women, you can do sport for fun at the low levels, but men you can actually go pro and take it more seriously”.

If you don’t believe this then you don’t believe in sexual dimorphism and we’re not having a serious discussion. At that point there’s no point of trans women lowering their T levels, or transmen going on T because clearly it has no effect. Why do you think baseball players roided up? It’s not to have smaller testicals, it’s to make ball go farther with the extra T.

Professional men and professional women both train at their sport for their job. Pro women soccer teams lose to U18 boys teams because of the testosterone, and those U18 have less training and experience.

In weightlifting the male and female records at every weight class differ by a lot. In athletics the records are all pretty different. The only completely equal events women can win at high levels are shooting and ultra-marathons. And idk maybe curling or breakdancing and not-as-directly-physical stuff like that.

I’m arguing currently professional equally fully trained pro men vs women. Or equally trained men and women at any level really. Abolishing gender in every league tomorrow would mean women wouldn’t really have opportunity to compete. Every coed league has the quota rule because otherwise there’s be a group of cis guys plus one woman taking games too seriously and crushing everyone, and that wouldn’t be fun really.

You don’t sound like you follow any professional sport or know much about performance.

What sports do you think dividing only on weight-class would ‘work’? (And I guess what is your idea of that “working”?)

I agree with trans women in women’s sport, but I don’t agree with abolishing all gender in sport. Dividing team sports only on weight class would mean there’d be no professional women in sports, cis or trans. Testosterone is a performance enhancing drug for a reason.

In recreational sport it does and doesn’t matter, since most recreational co-ed leagues have a minimum amount of women you have to have on the field at once to keep things balanced. Idk if a quota rule would make sense at the pro level, and that would still be using the western european rendering of gender.

In soccer, the testosterone that a cis man makes is a huge advantage that can’t really be overcome only on weight class. Professional women’s teams play male high-school teams and lose. And that’s soccer, a sport where the best player in the world is a small Argentinian man.
