    1. We eating chips and popcorn with chopsticks now.

    You’re welcome for cleaner fingers and everything you touch with them.

    1. Beer ain’t getting served without some sorta pickle.

    2. Pets will be told about foods, walks, and treats in a foreign language as to prevent them getting excited about things they love during normal conversations

    3. More ducks than chickens. Duck eggs are better, duck meat is better, duck fat is better than schmaltz

    4. It’s now so wildly normal for men to wear crop tops

    You’re fucking welcome

    1. You’re getting paid for your commute time now. Your employer is covering tolls, transit passes etc.

  • I once played in a LARP where one of the characters backgrounds was from a culture that emphasized the importance of trade and had established a number of rituals around the trade and barter of goods. Some examples being:

    • Haggling usually occurred over a freshly brewed pot of coffee made by the seller, the quality of which would set the stage for who had the upper hand in the barter.
    • the buyer would usually tell a story about how their acquaintance or distant relative got the product for a better price in another city and the seller would inevitably tell the buyer how much time and effort it would take to get to that city to get the same price and how their price is worth the difference.
    • Both parties would tell complete, but almost believable lies to claim the price should be higher or lower, but it was polite to interweave their lies into yours such that directly disproving either parties lies would make the points of both parties crumble, as to discourage that

    It didn’t, like, get me hard or anything, but it was a lot of fun to spend most of the weekend hawking fake goods and telling stories of “far away lands”.

    So like I half get it. Not entirely but just kinda.





  • I see.

    I think your goals here are noble, but I feel it’s inappropriate and I find your posts here somewhat offensive as you’re implying you are a Jew when you are not. Perhaps Christians and Muslims would feel differently, but posting things like “What are you scared to ask your rabbi?” coming from someone who doesn’t and wouldn’t consul with a Rabbi as a faith leader themselves is inauthentic and misleading.

    I don’t think you mean harm, but I also don’t think it’s hard to see why this sort of behavior is inappropriate.

    You shouldn’t be putting yourself in a position to speak on behalf of Jews when you aren’t a Jew. I don’t think you should be making communities on our behalf and wait for a Jew to take them over, masquerading as a Jew in the meantime. You should close this, it’s disrespectful.

    There’s a product called Ener-G Egg Replacer and I use it to great success for eggs in dough. It won’t make a dough “eggy” like is needed for challah or egg bagels, but it’ll work as a binder in other baking recipes, as far as I can tell, perfectly. I’ve never had anyone ask “did you do something different here?” when tasting my baked goods, even if they’ve had my egged versions previously.

    I used to use it just for making food for my vegan pals but now I’ve just been using it whenever eggs are called for.
