Salteñas are a type of empanada found in Bolivia, and one of Bolivias most famous and beloved culinary exports. Like many such foodstuffs, the exact composition varies, but salteñas are generally notable for a few features: a sweet and spicy flavor, a more liquid-y filling than other empanadas, and a filling containing a wider variety of ingredients--sort of like a whole meal in a pocket, like a pot pie. A typical salteña might contain something like chicken, a whole hard-boiled egg, raisins, peas, carrots, potatoes, and olives, as an example. Vegetarian or vegan salteñas are less commonly found due to the relative lack of vegetarianism in Bolivia, but there is nothing in the definition of the dish that precludes a vegan salteña.
Salteñas are also a great option for a meal on a budget. You can often find them for $2 or $3 at local restaurants or food stands, and with their everything-but-the-kitchen-sink fillings and larger size, one or two can easily make a satisfying meal.

When I got to work today, one of my co-workers, one of the few people I actually like at my job, came up to me and said "74 days!" I was like, "Uhh, until what?"
And she says, "I'm getting an upgrade! My insurance was accepted, and I can finally get my top surgery and oh, you'll see! You're the only one I've told!"
I fucking cried, dude. My big ass going into the walk in cooler to fucking bawl lmao.
Stealing and saying “but they said the free market always supplies!” To the cops And just digging your heels in when they try to explain it
It literally is just "Freedom to exploit anyone you can, and if anyone tries to stop you they will be beaten, imprisoned, and killed"

Did something happen, or we just haven't seen them in a while? Either way, yes, absolutely. :deeper-sadness:
Fuck this legitimately has me feeling down. I'm usually pretty dispassionate about social media but I keep thinking about SFS and not seeing his posts here, possibly because something went wrong in his life.
I'm crying right now lol It's not like I know him too well but I just really hope he's alright.
he is doing alright I think. all things considered. I heard from him on here semi-recently.
Like, he's been dealing with a lot of shit, unfortunately. But, like, I'm pretty sure he's alive and whatnot.
@SorosFootSoldier we :gold-communist: you
he is doing alright I think. all things considered. I heard from him on here semi-recently.
That's very relieving to hear. I hope he feels ok and posts here again. I'm tired of losing good people.
Def a good feeling, and also, that's a mood :hexbear-bi-2:
Very cool and normal that over 60% of all DNS requests made over my home network are just pure ads and trackers. Very nice how many resources are wasted just to advertise shit. Literally over half of all internet traffic being pure ads. Luckily I block them now.
Imagine how much battery life on your phone and electricity used to power servers is wasted to show you ads. The OG of wasting energy and computer resources before cryptocurrency.
somebody should make a mega dedicated to the humble lurker. yeah, you, I know you're reading this, you deserve to be a mega topic too
Just finished an essay for class where I argued that the US should immediately nationalize its healthcare industry. I don't think my teacher read more than the first two pages of my last essay, which is why on page three of this one I call for every pharma and insurance CEO and board member to be lined up and shot.
Please update us when you get it back with a grade and instructor comments, yes? :meow-popcorn:
I'm getting a bit sick of the "working class torture spectacle" types of media that became a thing thanks to Hunger Games and then got revitalized by Squid Game. Everyone is making their own version of Squid Games now where everything is the same the except maybe one or two things are different. I find it frustrating not just because it's unoriginal but also because I'm realizing that the reason so many people liked The Hunger Games and Squid Game wasn't because of the anti-capitalist messages they gave, but because many people just enjoyed watching helpless people get cruel things done to them.
It is useful generally and when someone invokes the "Society of the Spectacle"
It’s making me feel crazy but I’ve started telling the queer people I’m close with that I’d help them get out of the country or hide at my place as shit devolves in this shithole of a country. It makes me feel like I’m panicking about something that’s on no one’s radars, but I also see this devolving into rounding people up into camps real quick.
:amerikkka::anarchy-trans:
if shit does hit the fan, y'all can absolutely come stay at my place. not about to doxx myself rn, but like, if things got bad, I would absolutely risk it and start handing out my address. I am 100% committed to using every ounce of my privilege to protect people.
I wish I could help with more communities because I know there are people who are already being kept in camps and feeling the effects of genocidal policies. But I know hundreds of queer people in my surrounding counties. In terms of groups I know I have the connections to support in any meaningful way, this is it.
I’m scared by the amount of people who have reassured me over the past couple days that I’m not off base here
I've read enough books about the worst crimes in history to know that now is the time to be panicking. I don't know where you'd go, but now is a very good time to leave America and burn the bridges behind you.
And if you can't leave move to liberal cities in the North and West. And if you can't do that find other marginalized people in your area, get strapped, and practice mutual aid.
Do you think we'll really be fine if we're cishet passing? I've been concerned that once it gets to camps they'll go hunting for anyone who knows anyone who is LGBT. It's part of why I don't have any social media, I don't tell doctors about my sexuality, and my therapist is private and also gay. I can't get a beard though I don't talk to any men.
edit: taking beard applications from homosexual men in the US; I will teach you all my knowledge from my Christian upbringing and we'll go to my old parish together (it's in a liberal area). must like cats
I'm using my 1000th comment to say something I've needed to get off my chest for a while now.

I love all of you.

I've never seen anyone who describes themselves as "brutally honest" say something that's kind in addition to being honest. They've all just used it as an excuse to be rude
