  • The texture is my favorite thing about wood ears, but I can see why some people wouldn’t like it; it’s definitely not for everyone. I’ve got some miso garlic I’ve been fermenting, maybe I’ll try to make a garlic and mushroom miso soup soon. Thanks for the idea!

    I should look for some dried morels, I’ve heard they’re delicious. I think mushrooms are some of the tastiest things on the planet.





  • It’s missing the cover plates, so I doubt it’s really playable.

    What kind of music would you like to play? If you want something that can do bends, you should look into the Hohner Blues Band harmonica: they run about $10 in the States and are a good option for a beginner.

    Note that harmonicas are diatonic*, and you’ll need them in multiple keys if you want to play with others. You can buy them in sets or mix different ones to see what you like.

    It’s a fun instrument to just noodle around on and pick out tunes. Get familiar with the feel of it, then look for videos or books to go deeper.

    *There are actually different scales that you can play on a standard diatonic harmonica if you play cross harp. This is what you’ll need to look at if you want to play the blues.




  • I could tell by your first comment that you didn’t care to know about how others think.

    Ignorance is a lot easier than educating yourself, so I can see why you’d choose the easy path; I’m just disappointed that you decided to be incurious instead of learning something.

    But I’m sure your “highschool rebel” understanding of anarchism is truly accurate, thanks for the notes. Or you could explain what mental gymnastics I’m performing? This is all basic anarchist theory that you can confirm with a five minute read of a wikipedia article summary.


  • Please don’t take this the wrong way, but you should read some anarchist political theory if you want to address their actual beliefs.

    This is exactly the kind of communal structure that anarchists advocate for: a voluntary collective where everyone agrees to contribute to furthering certain goals, values, and objectives.

    OP is not coercing players to be in their game or to do things their way; they’re saying “this is the game that I run, take it or leave it,” and the players can join if they share the same goals.






  • The anthropologist David Graeber argued that agriculture was picked up and dropped repeatedly by societies for the entirety of the 3,000 year “agricultural revolution,” as hunting/gathering was a much easier way to get those needed calories.

    There are megalithic sites created wholly by hunter/gatherer societies; the deep human past is a fascinating time.
