I don’t have food stamps but I need to know how to eat well for $4/day. Thank you for this.
I love this cookbook!
Tips and tricks on how to survive being working class.
I’ve seen this kind of thing before and a lot of them are full of random weird shit you’d never make…because of time constraints or like, it just sounds super gross.
But this one had a whole section that’s just “Things on Toast”. Another that was all about putting crap in your oatmeal to make it better. Those are fairly pedestrian and don’t take forever.
I haven’t looked through the whole thing yet but so far it’s actually pretty practical. Also if you’re broke like me and don’t know how to make Dal, you should get on that.
I also liked that there’s this at the beginning:
This book isn’t challenging you to live on so little; it’s a resource in case that’s your reality. In May 2014, there were 46 million Americans on food stamps. Untold millions more—in particular, retirees and students—live under similar constraints.
Been there. Done that. Advice on this art is always welcome.
The link above seems to be broken; here’s one that still works.

Back in my day a "critical" reading meant closer to a "literary analysis", not "i think everyone who likes this is secretly evil". Ironically, people who call themselves "critical" now seem to take things at literal face value more than people who actually analyze meaning of the text.

Parents railed against jazz and rock music would thinking it would make people sin, and now we know that's fucking crazy. Parents railed against Dungeons and Dragons thinking it would turn people into devil worshipers, and now we know that's fucking crazy. Parents railed against video games thinking it would make people into violent killers, and now we know that's fucking crazy. Now people not even old enough to be parents are railing against any or all problematic fiction thinking it would turn people into immoral heathens, exactly how do you think that's gonna go now?
ALTFandom Problem #4071
You know what I hate? When a completely harmless or well-meaning action by one character somehow sets in motion a long, complicated chain of events, including multiple factors that they in no way would have ever been able to predict, and eventually leads to something very bad happening--and the fandom holds that character as being solely and directly responsible for the bad thing, just because they already didn't like them. (Bonus if these same people also dismiss direct, intentional wrongdoing when their fave does it.)
You can say Raiden, it’s okay
