What is your go to vegetarian recipe? I think most educated people try to limit meat in some way

That's statistically true though. Unfortunately educated people are also the least likely to procreate, or at least have more than one to two children.

honestly I just look up regular recipes and if something looks good I make it and just substitute things. I've been doing this shit for way too long to limit myself to only a few kinds of dishes

Most vegs dictate their diet based on ethics and environmental concerns, but there are apparently health concerns over the intake of certain types of meat and dairy, and the image of the vegetarian/vegan athlete is becoming more much more prominent. I'm sure eating pork belly at every meal can't be good for you and the average american probably eats way too much meat to begin with, but in a properly balanced diet I don't think there's too much of a health concern.
Then again I'm not an authority on the topic and am mostly talking out of my ass

kill yourself

>no serious health debate I know of

The issue was limiting meat intake, and it's pretty widely accepted that excessive consumption of meat, typically at the expense of vegetables, is not exactly healthy - but that's talking about an excessive stereotype of the American diet where everyone is eating a porterhouse or a couple burgers for every meal, weighs 300 pounds, and is dying from a heart attack at 60.

>microwave sliced potatoes for 30 minutes
>then continue to microwave until the desired texture is reached

Dude, an average, whole potato only takes 5-10 minutes in the microwave, and will literally be toxic sludge after that point, or simply explode.

Higher academia is a liberal echochamber, so it would make sense that the people who've went through it are heavily influenced. If you want to say that modern liberalism in of itself is an inherently "smart" ideology, you would be greatly mistaken.

pol pls go

>If you want to say that modern liberalism in of itself is an inherently "smart" ideology, you would be greatly mistaken

And absolutely nobody ever said that, but go on believing that people who went through higher education are all brainwashed.

>What is your go to vegetarian recipe?
Tap water.
I have both kinds, hot AND cold

It seems smart. Why is it not smart?

>an inherently "smart" ideology
I know many liberals who think their beliefs are backed up by science, math, technology, etc. For example: "Is a fetus a human?" They think if they can prove there's no brain or heart pulse, then that's an obvious reason to take away a father's rights. Nobody matters but the woman because it's her body. I don't get these people.

Everyone wants their beliefs to be backed by science. You get scandals across the board because scientists can't just admit they're fucking wrong and they end up fudging data.

Nobody ever wants to admit they're wrong - no progress gets made. We go on runarounds for 20+ years chasing hypotheses that should've been long assigned to the dustbin if not for the ivory tower clinging to their beliefs.

Don't even get me started on paywalls.

During lent...
I'll do my version of my favorite non-meat topped pizzas, where I load up the top of dough with my most loved choices, big mushrooms, red onion, oil packed sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, baby bellpeppers, artichokes, two or three kinds of cheeses, lots of fresh basil. Or I might fold my dough over and make some calzones with ricotta and lots of sauteed garlic and spinach. Smoky provolone adds the oomph in flavor inside the ricotta. I make the crust as salty as pretzel dough, by rubbing in olive oil to adhere it before baking.

I like pumpkin filled ravioli or gnocci, in a cream sauce, covered in bits of sauteed nuts like pine or walnuts, garlic, little bit of a texture on top. Make a fancy salad and some nice rolls to complete the meal.

Beans. I love a marinated bean salad. Black bean soup with salsa, sour cream, and cilantro on top. Bean tostadas or molletes, where you make it all about the melted cheese quality and fresh salsas. 13 Bean soup or senate bean soup. Gazpacho.

I'm not much for "fake" meat alternatives, but Morningstar makes a nice mediterrean and indian kind of burgers which you can panfry til a bit of a crunch, which are great gyro fakeouts, or kind of a samosa mood. Stuff either into a good roll or pita, a lot of sliced tomato and cucumber, and a sour cream sauce of your choice. I do the chicken kitchen mustard-curry sauce with lots of lime zest and mango chutney, or tzatziki.

>They think if they can prove there's no brain or heart pulse, then that's an obvious reason to take away a father's rights.

Things like that are problematic because it's assinging a moral decision to a scientific obersvation, which have nothing whatsoever to do with each other.

Science can answer questions like "does this specific fetus have a pulse or brain activity". But regardless of the answer (yes or no) that has no bearing whatsoever on the totally separate question of "what does that have to do with a parent's rights".

The latter question isn't even a scientific one at all. It's a legal matter to be determined by courts.

What would he have or need rights? That's something you should talk about and plan with your partner. You don't just pee in someone's butt and then expect them to go through with it all because you have "rights."

>It's a legal matter to be determined by courts.
A legal matter that liberal justices would base their rulings on science.

If you can accept that the world is not black and white, then it's easy to imagine there would be some instances when a man's rights should be protected. "It's a woman's body" shuts down that argument which is liberals want. Any counter argument is mansplaining, patriachy, etc.

Let's actually talk about this stuff on a case-by-case basis and quit being idiots. When liberals behave that way, I take offense to any notions that they are the "smart" ideology.

What counter arguments? If your rights are infringing on someone else's rights, that's a big problem.

A woman has rights to her own body, but the man and child don't? How is the woman not infringing on the rights of the man and child?

The child isn't born yet. It doesn't have rights.

As for the rights of the man, that's complicated. I agree that if the woman doesn't want the child but the man does, the man ought to be able to keep that child somehow. But then the problem becomes: can the man somehow force the woman to carry the child against her will? And that's where it gets complicated--weighing the man's rights vs. the woman's rights if they disagree.

>The child isn't born yet. It doesn't have rights.
Yes, that's a common sentiment, but something I disagree with.

I think we've identified that it's all very tricky and we don't agree. Later, bro.

I implore you to try it

only takes 15 or so minutes if you cut the potato in cubes

Do they turn into uranium?

>calling meat eaters uneducated
>"=)"
>"bullies stay away pls."

I can be a cunt all I want but if you say something back I'll tell my daddy :(

Everyone should have the rights to their own body, that's only absolutely fair and reasonable. If we start making caveats because some of us are parasites, where does it end?

You wouldn't force someone to get pregnant, I don't know why it should be okay to force someone to stay pregnant.

Not really, just get soft on the outside and firm on the inside.

>I implore you to try it

You forgot to add the step where you wrap it in aluminum foil first...

He's not saying they are brainwashed, but that they are influenced during their formative years. The longer you are away from academia and out in the 'real world" you tend to drift away from liberal ideas towards conservationism. It has to do with life experience and the wisdom you get from your years at it. There are pockets, major cities with high immigrant populations and a lack of a variety of unbiased media where you can kind of live in a bubble of it never expanding your ability to see some some bullshit (like working at the actual newspaper that has an agenda), where your circle of friends will simulate the academia world, combined with some of the more socialist educations of immigrant populaces. You'd be surprised how that affects political leanings. Try haveing jury duty with your immigrant peers where the concept of prosecution burden of proof and innocent til proven guilty is unknown *facepalm* and everyone votes on their gut and prejudices instead like in their own lack of freedom countries of birth.

When you do things like save your own money, buy property vs rent, start a business that hires employees, have a family, save for retirement....you upgrade your address for better schools for your kids, or just a better home for your family away from some of the crime in that cute gentrifying community but shite nonetheless aside from those taking a chance like gay couples with no kids, or house flippers. Anyway, there's no one clear formula that determines political leanings, but with this gross generalization, you should be able to understand how some kid who just started out on his own in life away from his parents taking his first sociology class or psychology class, because it was required and he couldn't shirk it, can meet up with some extreme thinkers and with a micro-view, and not a macro-view to provide some balance, is a wee bit idealistic or susceptible to false advertising. I mean as adults we don't believe all those as seen on TV ads, do we? Well some of us always do.

That's the real difference in education, not thinking for yourself and not giving enough of a damn to defend your beliefs by doing your own research of both sides.

Yes, blue collar workers do tend to be more conservative (which always leads them to vote in favor of the people who don't give a shit about them), but liberal academia is about critical thought and learning to see different sides to things and rationally make decisions; the idea that it's some form of indoctrination is ludicrous.
