  • I never downvoted you, I have upvoted your post.

    I understand that you are showcasing the tortilla. I explained why I said what I said, and it had nothing to do with the fact that you are showcasing the tortilla, but the way you interchangeably used terminology. The oat tortilla seems interesting. I simply responded to something you said with an example of how I have done something on the subject, the oat based filling. When you replied to my comment about confusing the two, had you just said something like “yeah, I am just swapping terms loosely, as I am showcasing the tortilla” I would have never responded to that. However, your reply made it seem like you took offense to it.

    Anyway, interesting tortilla, have fun


  • You call oat tortilla in your title, and description, then, in the comments, call it taco. So, the title seems to suggest you understand the tortilla is not what determines the taco type, but in the comments that seems to not be the case. Which, to me, made it look like you might think of the two interchangeably. This is why I said what I said, you switched between them like it is the same thing.
    It seems this has offended you.

    Also, I have made tacos where the core ingredient of the filling is oats, using lightly ground oats as the primary texture, and binder, for a meat substitute.




  • I too found myself not being able to really discuss books I had read that long ago. So I slowed down my reading pace. Not just how many I take in, but how much time I spend reading the books. With particularly challenging things I have always returned to them, and re-read them as my understanding of the book expands, or my perspective on things changes, however I realized I remembered them in far more detail than others, and it was because the challenge slowed me down, and forced me to spend time contemplating what it was I was reading, as I was reading it.

    I enjoy reading a lot more now. I am not in university any more, I do not have to read 500 pages per day.


  • This is the take I hear from every single person I have met, in person, about this. They don’t vote for the Democrats, they vote against the one thing worse than them. The only thing we can do in this country, right now, is slow damage. We need a revolutionary change, but looking at all the people who organize within communist, socialist, etc. groups, their plans are wishy washy, and while they come off as pretty spelled out, they are shallow, and they do not want to address the questions of what happens when people simply always resist real change. They are more scared of setting off and active revolution, than they are living this way.

    Though I do what I can with those who are in my area, the leftist orgs have nothing to show in terms of what they have brought to the benefit of the people. They simply have rhetoric against what is here, and empty promises is not going to pull people away from the establishment they grew up within. We got some, local, changes passed here that demonstrably increased the QOL, however it was never branded with a clear leftist group, so people assumed it was the local Democrats.

    On the other hand, you have a bunch of keyboard warriors online that preach violence, and some who even condemn those who haven’t taken up arms, as cowards. Meanwhile they have nothing to show. They aren’t out there carrying out “action”. The only appreciable counter actions, to the MAGA cult of personality, that is playing out in real life, has come the “more like early last century England, not on the level of Nazi Germany” liberals. However, their actions are simply to stop MAGA, as they want to preserve the empire.
