Hie I'm coming over for soup please

half a vidalia onion

garlic clove(s)

2 roma tomatoes

2 big carrots

1 cup corn

2-3 large potatoes

2-3 bell peppers

1 cup quinoa

1 gallon broth of choice (i prefer vegetable)

butter/oil for skillet use

paprika

salt

ground pepper

lime juice

cilantro (optional)

cayenne pepper

2 jalapeno/habanero peppers (optional)

okay you take about, half a vidalia onion and dice it fairly large (about 1/2" by 1/2" squares i guess) mince as much garlic cloves as you want (about a whole bulb i suppose for a whole stockpot of soup), a couple of sliced jalapenos/habaneros if you want it to be spicy, and throw those on the bottom of the stockpot with a liberal application of salt, ground pepper, and paprika, as well as a cooking implement of choice (butter, oil if vegan, etc.)

carmelize the onions and activate the Flavor Protocol of the garlic and hot peppers until it's good and toasty at the bottom of the pan. while this is happening dice 2-3 Big Potatoes, and chop about two large carrots; and grab the preferred amount of the broth of your choice (i usually use about a gallon of veggie broth). when the onions are done, throw the broth, carrots and potatoes into the stockpot. bring to boil, reduce to simmer.

potatoes and carrots take a bit to Un-Brickify into a tasty consistency, so while this is happening dice a couple of bell peppers, roma tomatoes, and grab about a cup of corn. throw these into a skillet with a little butter (oil if vegan, etc.) and some seasoning of choice, i use cayenne pepper, lime juice, and some additional salt and pepper if desired. you want to reduce those veggies in the cooking juices so they soften a little, and soak up the flavor. i usually push it until the corn is slightly charred, smells fucking amazing.

throw the veggies and concentrated flavor matter into your stockpot. let it all settle in, and add quinoa according to the amount of vegetables (quinoa expands quite a bit, i usually put in about a cup) already in there. give the quinoa adequate time to cook in the broth. the soup should be a ratio of broth to veggies that you prefer, otherwise add more broth and seasoning. i prefer mine fairly full of veggies tbh. season to taste; you should be well covered by the amount of seasoning thrown in during the veggie-cooking process but otherwise feel free to add as much extra garlic or whatever you'd like in there. hell, add sriracha if that floats your boat. soup should taste good!

the result is a fuckload of veggie and quinoa soup that is filling, and good for dipping bread into on a chilly day. enjoy!

send '🔥' for conroversial take

Not as controversial in idea, but moreso in *practice*, because magz is ask people *do* something n not just think. (was difficult put in words)

TLDR; All talk and no action, where words not reflect behavior and effect, is worth little. So people need make it so they more likely actually do something about it and build themself for it. It is not passive nor just thought. This include how people use social media because it is becoming large effective part of human life.

However in practice, is more than just acknowledge statement.

To prevent empty claims of caring about leftist values, general ethics, marginalized people, whatever else...

People need observe their actions and actually think of what they do in concrete terms, instead of abstract idea of feelings or "caring".

So to that end: Even if is embarrassing, people need to learn very basics of how uphold values in general.

Namely: Have reminders and actionable goals that align with values, or remind "what not do". Build environment that makes more likely do those goals. When feel impulsive need of react, instead reflect first. Question how participate when angry or disgusted or humored. Assess risks and what makes more likely slip up.

What to avoid: The point is not whether should "feel bad" about it. It not about feelings, is about action.

---

Gonna give example of simple ethic value.

Value: Generally is bad record, post, and share content or pictures of civilian strangers that didn't give permission to. Especially for mocking.

Goal: Don't share unnecessary pictures of unconsenting strangers.

Context: Social media (and other things) skew perception of other people. Casual cruelty and Not Thinking have consequence.

Risk: The stranger being rejected from work, harrassed, doxxed, identifiable (witness protection, abuse victims, etc), who knows.

What to do: Make habit of think "if relevant: does it look like the people involved are aware and consented to be posted online?" and if answer is "no" or "not know", don't post it.

How to build the habit: (one way) At first having post-it note close to devices. Saving drafts of posts before queueing or posting them, so can think through, but not lose post. Whatever.

If can't do it, or keep fail do it: Stop posting pictures of people if can't distinguish for good while. Last option, take a long break from social media or even quit environment that skews perceptions like that.

-

Have system in place for do something about what believe in. Invest in embarrassingly thought-out plan and actions if keep having issue.

Have consequences if not able to, to start being able to commit to it.
