What if we sealion the sealions?

"Excuse me, sir, but I can't help but notice that you appear to be sealioning this conversation."

"I have been nothing but polite, but here you are rudely asking me to fuck off as soon as I point out the completely reasonable fact that you appear to be little more than a concern-trolling sealion."

> it appears that the proposed law would ensure the legality of such a choice.

And that's the issue. It frankly doesn't matter if few people would exercise that choice (which is probably the case). It shouldn't be on the books. If passed, it would essentially legalize unjustified discrimination. That's the issue here, not the number of people who might actually use this option. The proposed law is unjust.

@ShaunBartone
Honestly, you could probably just coat everything in olive oil and paprika, then roast for a brunch dish. Salt and pepper to taste, after that.

@sophia They forgot to renew their certification signature thingy and, as a result, basically all add-ons/extensions stopped working on the weekend. I *think* it's fixed now, but basically people are mad because they removed control from users and then managed to fuck it up less than a year after doing so.

@sconlan None of that shit even makes sense. Like, I can kind of understand the wedding cake scenario, because you "don't want to be involved in condoning a gay marriage." I disagree, but I can at least understand the rationale. But how the fuck does providing basic, secular-type services violate anyone's religious views?

@interneteh That explains it, I guess. Kinda weird that the new person wouldn't try to keep things more consistent with what had been done previously. You don't always need to "put your stamp" on everything. Sometimes, if you're coming into an already established project, it's OK to just maintain consistency.

On the other hand, maybe it's less obvious with breaks during the seasons vs. binging the DVDs like we've been doing.

@pizza This analogy is way too accurate.

I'm a full season behind, but we just watched the Season 7 premier tonight and my wife said, "So everyone just decided to start wearing black, suddenly?"

@thurloat
Also, congratulations to you and @JessSloan.

It was the universe's way of making sure you didn't live toot the birth.

I suspect, if you wanted a carnivorous version of this dish, you could sub out the tofu for chicken with positive results.

It was good and I would make it again. Even my wife, who is generally pretty lukewarm on most tofu dishes, enjoyed it. I made the right call by halving the paprika, though.

Lemon-Dijon Tofu and Potatoes

Trying this recipe tonight, but I'm using half the amount of paprika because, um, 2 tbsp of paprika is A LOT. I may sprinkle additional paprika on the finished dish if it's not quite tasting right, but I tasted the sauce before tossing the tofu and potatoes and it's pretty flavourful. 2 tbsp would have been too much, I think.

Tofu is made, in part, by curdling soy milk. Ergo, tofu is soy cheese.

@carcinopithecus
That's quite the epilogue! Now I feel compelled to read the whole thing.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Can't wait to become a respected elder in the post-apocalyptic clan of urban scavengers my daughter joins in order to survive the world that comes after the climate collapse.

(Just kidding; as a memeber of a generation that lived through the Time When Snow Existed, I won't be respected. I'll be kept alive only due to the children taking pity on me and my fellow old people.)

@idesofmerch I am officially a fan of Comic Sans.
