  • Risotto. I make one with panceta and mushrooms that can’t be easier to make. And the principle is to just stir for 20’ or so.

    Ingredients (serves for 2)

    • Risotto type rice (Arborio, Carnerolli or similar) 150 gr
    • Chicken broth (homemade, if store bought then liquid, never in cubes) 1 lt
    • Onion 1 medium
    • Panceta 200 gr
    • Mushrooms (fresh) 200 gr
    • Olive oil
    • White wine
    • Parmesan cheese (grated or in very small chunks) 50gr
    • Butter 20 gr

    Prep

    1. In a pot, put the broth to heat. It’s not required for it to boil just to be hot.
    2. Chop the onion in very small cubes, as small as the rice grain if possible (so when you are eating it, you don’t feel it)
    3. Chop the panceta in cubes (no bigger than your thumb)
    4. In a big pot, at mid heat, put the panceta to brown and defat
    5. Once the panceta is brown and you have a good fat source at the bottom, remove and reserve the panceta
    6. Put the onion in the pot and use the same fat from the panceta to sauté it. If you need more, you can use olive oil.
    7. Once the onion is almost translucent, put the rice and pearl the rice. From now on, you should always be mixing the rice with a big wooden spoon or similar. Never stop stirring. This will make the rice to let all the starch go, which will make your risotto creamy.
    8. Once the rice is pearled, pour some wine to deglase and keep stirring.
    9. Once the wine has evaporated and you hear the crackling, pour some broth until the rice is submerged, keep stirring.
    10. Once your broth is evaporated and you start hearing the crackling again, put the panceta, the mushrooms and pour some more broth. Keep stirring.
    11. When you see that you are low on broth and hear that the rice is crackling, check on the rice for the cooking point. It should be al dente, meaning that you should be able to bite it and feel some resistance, but it should be very edible. If you still feel it too hard, pour more broth and keep stirring.
    12. When your rice is done, take the pot away from the fire, and put the parmesan cheese with the butter. Stir and mix until it’s uniform and creamy.
    13. Serve hot in small bowls or similar plates
    14. Decorate with olive oil, fresh grinded pepper and parsley.

  • Pining it on a gender or any other human characteristic that you cannot control is as stupid as it can get.

    • Raping is caused by men
    • Sodomy is caused by gay people
    • Murders are caused by black people
    • The economy is shit because of Jews (Godwin in 2)

    And then the positive ones:

    • Women are better for handling money
    • Asians are better at math
    • Black people are faster

    I would love to go on and on with this. But as you can see, it’s a fallacy that will get you to flawed conclusions, and dangerous if you plan to act upon them. Because by that point, you could say that killing all the men is a very good thing to do in order to avoid raping. And we all know where that goes.

    I’ll just stop my post here because I think I made my case, and I would love for you to reconsider your position, even if you don’t change it, in light of understanding how dangerous that way of thinking is.

    Otherwise, I won’t feed the troll anymore.


  • This is actually something that I’ve been thinking about Lemmy too. Now Lemmy.World is a good instance, but if I ever need to move, I’ll lose a lot, and that’s not what Lemmy and the Fediverse as a whole should stand for. We need to allow users to migrate to another instance as a whole. Not just the name, but the messages, posts, replies, everything should be repointed to the new user.

    Of course, this brings new and interesting attack vectors on instances for DSoS and for users data. Identity theft would be a real bitch.





  • Reddit was a washed down 4chan. For those who came from a forum life in the 00’s and knew 4chan too, Reddit made sense.

    That kind of content will keep happening and popping, and there will be a lot of people supporting it. Because we’ll always have teenagers eager to see fringe stuff, and social misfits that want to be seen/heard.

    I think that we need to understand that Lemmy and the Fediverse can hold such things, but they aren’t at fault for that. Reddit was faulty as a corporation, but not as a platform. And because Lemmy, the Fediverse and ActivityPub are techs free to anyone, they aren’t liable for this, but the owners of the instances of these techs are.

    We have already seen how this plays out, thankfully. We’ve seen a lot of instances defederating exploding-heads.com, and this is good. The same with many people saying to defederate from Meta’s new social network.

    I think we need to understand that, profoundly, human beings are very heterogeneous. We’ll always have nice and bad people. And that communities reflect that. Having everything in one instance (Reddit) is not a very good solution. Having them in different instances and each one with their own ethos, makes more sense as a society. Especially because we behave like that. I usually don’t mingle with douchdbags.
