Bit idea: Have a struggle session about something that nobody will get banned for
If even one of you gets a post removed during one of these bit struggle sessions you failed the bit and should feel immense shame. Doing a bit successfully is Praxis.
Find things to struggle about that doesn't get out of hand. It's important to let off some steam now and again but do it in a way that doesn't harm your fellow comrades or add work to the mod team.
I'll start: Some beans are better than other beans. Like kidney beans are bad nasty icky beans but black beans are actually amazing.
Methamphetamine is good for two reasons:
-
At a therapeutic dose methamphetamine, aka Desoxyn, is less neurotoxic than other stimulant medications which are used to treat ADHD (and potentially other conditions but that's more speculative and off the beaten path for psychiatry) and this is important because it provides a much-needed alternative for situations where the more conventional stimulant meds are not tolerated or ineffective for any number of reasons. Honestly if it weren't for the stigma there's a good chance that on the basis of risk of harm to the patient and effectiveness, Desoxyn would be given preference over Adderall and lisdexamphetamine.
-
The discovery of methamphetamine and the widespread usage of it, aka Pervitin, critically undermined the Nazi war effort because they were able to utilise it to achieve early gains and it allowed for pushing Nazi soldiers to run on virtually no food, both of which looked good on paper especially in the early stages of the war but it was entirely unsustainable and so it made the top brass of the Nazi armed forces completely overestimate their abilities, thus leading them to overextend themselves and especially to overextend their soliders which led to a paper tiger effect where the Nazis appeared to be much more threatening but, when facing stiff resistance, they tended to crumble.
Hate Nazis? Support neurodivergent folks?
Love meth!
Destigmatize and legalize all drugs and then provide proper health care for people who use them and probably all drugs have some redeemable qualities.
Meth is really only a "bad" drug because of who primarily uses it and how it's made but both of those are pretty much intentional systemic issues rather than an issue with the drug itself
Methamphetamine is a really interesting test case because most people will be comfortable with opioids, despite the issues they cause due to addiction and abuse, because they also have therapeutic value but when you drop the idea that meth is in a similar boat - good therapeutic value despite serious issues with addiction and abuse - it tends to sit really uncomfortably with a lot of people.
ITT: tons of reactionaries with meth derangement syndrome.

I’m a bean centrist. The best bean is the bean you have. All beans have their place, and that place is my stomach, turning into farts.
All Farts Matter
beans are uh cultural appropriation, no i will not elaborate
Found the Pythagorean
In my culture we fart and then immediately ritualistically inhale it. Beans are our guide to this heaven. Stop appropriating my culture.
Also if some culture actually does do this I'm sorry I'm not trying to make fun of you / them and I'll be the first to fail the bit
I think your underestimating this communities ability to accelerate and exasperate struggle sessions over mundane things.
Don't bring up cats around here...
Kidney bean goat chilli bean.
Upbeared because I completely disagree with this take.
Black beans are absolutely, 100% superior as chilli beans in every way - taste, texture, ease of preparation.
Kidney beans belong in two places and two places alone: in rajma masala and in the F-tier for beans.
Kidney beans taste better because they come from real human kidneys.
what the fuck are these black beans!?!?
This makes only rich people kidney beans an ethical choice, since you're basically eating the rich which is always the morally correct option
I don't eat enough beans
Epic Struggle Sessions of History
Shampoo vs Conditioner
Wait you only use one or the other? Okay this one will get me banned because that's absolutely not okay
When you want to keep your natural oils, but also want to be silky and smooth
spoiler
I imagined Shampoo vs Conditioner more like Billy Madison
My lifelong war against purchasing water has driven me to use bars of soap, and my body (and hair) couldn't be happier with the choice. I don't have luscious locks though
Try putting kidney beans in the air fryer for a crunchy topping or snack.
Okay I haven't tried this. Is it basically puffed kidney beans? Liked puffed rice? Is this actually good or is this part of the bit because I would totally try this
I think that puffing requires high pressure, sort of like a pressure cooker, to achieve except in the case of popcorn because it's capable of achieving a similar level of pressurisation through the kernel that you'd get from a pressure cooker.
In the air fryer I'd expect them to come out like those roasted chickpea snacks that you can sometimes get.
Dry kidney beans or cooked/canned/soaked?
I do this with canned beans. Just drain the tin, rinse the beans, and toss them in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes with salt and oil.
If I was less lazy I would probably soak my own dried beans and cook them and whatever but eh
So like, eat them like salted roasted peanuts?
I like to coat them in chili lime first, but yeah.
Stop splitting the left :c
Baked is the only good beans. Baked is the best state for most things to be, including me.
Everything is better baked and smothered in delicious sauce so this is true
Me me, I'm a sauce boy.
Mixing black, kidney, and pinto beans in Santa Fe Soup is delicious and no one can convince me otherwise.
We do this all the time. Video games are a big one. For example, some absolute freaks on this site defend Dark Souls 2 and Final Fantasy X-2
My copy of X-2 is older than some Hexbears
I've tried 3 times and never managed to get more than a couple hours into it. If Dark Souls 2 is like a fan-game that misses the point of the original, FFX-2 is like one of those bizarre total conversion mods that misses not only the point but also fundamentally fucks up the gameplay loop and is written by a 16 year old with a really sick fanfiction idea
Dark Souls 2 is an amazing game even if it's not a great souls game and I will fight anyone to the death over that.
It's like a fangame made by people who thought the point of dark souls was to be really unfair and kill you a lot
It's amateurish and haphazardly designed, and the story/lore has nothing to do with the quite broad and unexplored world set up in the lore of Dark Souls
It fails as a sequel narratively and in gameplay, and it fails as an independent game gameplay-wise too, especially after the following couple years when the soulslike market was flooded with a thousand better entries

I don't think the beautiful slow-paced story full of mystery and wonder and discovery is "BS" that needed to be cut out, so I guess there's the core of the disagreement
Dark Souls 2 is a great fucking game, and that's precisely why it is the worse in the series.
Soybeans best beans. Fight me
im allergic and therefore this is ableism
GOOD struggle session
Soybeans are very versatile so they are pretty good
Getting ratioed this hard means the post is successful. I won't be accepting any arguments
If your revolution doesn't support kidney beans, you aren't a comrade.

pretty much every single profession that needs to measure things (i.e. carpenters, construction, engineering, soldiers, etc.) uses metric. this customary measurement thing is a 4chan meme with no basis in reality and betrays a serious lack of participation in or knowledge of the daily realities of actual physical work or science. the USSR used metric. China uses metric. Cuba uses metric. The only countries which do not use metric are Liberia, Myanmar, and the USA. the 'foot' is not actually as long as most people's foot, it is defined the same arbitrary way as metric lengths, via standardization to a specified measure (often a specific amount and configuration of some material in some specific conditions) with an international institutions decree.
actually, a "foot" and other imperial measurements are now defined by metric measurements, so they don't have to haul around their stupid metal bars in specific temperatures to check
Fahrenheit is based on humans, Celsius is based on water.
0F is about as cold as the average person can handle (with warm clothes), 100F is about as hot as the average person can handle. 100 is of course also about our internal body temperature.
Fahrenheit also divides nicely into groups of 10s. "The temperature is going to be in the 80s today, so wear light clothes."
Meanwhile in Celsius, at 0 you have to put on a medium coat, at 100 you're literally boiling alive.
felt temperature is wildly variant on conditions and between different people. boiling point of water is consistent and predictable.
Have you considered lightly pickling these "nasty icky" beans?
If I'm gonna spend time pickling something it's gonna be peppers, cucumbers, or cabbage

No, I will not explain
