  • You are right that the US doesn’t have a monopoly on this, but they are almost certainly the front runner. There are plenty of European conservatives that donate to these “causes” and we can’t forget the Catholic church that has recently compared “gender ideology” to nuclear war. Russia has also been pushing conservative and anti LGBT views, though I’m not sure how much they are involved in Africa. I’m sure there are plenty of others that I’m leaving out.

    My experience with purity tests is that they typically wielded from a place of privilege, often in such a way as to defend themselves from criticism. I’ve seen purity tests used to dismiss sexual assault and ignore the lived experiences of marginalized communities.

    Reality doesn’t fit neatly into boxes like the people who wield purity tests seem to want. Sometimes people don’t have the same opportunities to learn and understand. Sometimes you have to work with people who support policies that would see you dead. Not only does perfect not exist, the pursuit of it is one of the biggest barriers to achieving actual meaningful progress.

    Green sauces are made with tomatillos/green peppers/etc. and has a more vegetal flavor, while red sauces are made with tomatoes/red peppers/etc. andtastes like tomatoes, roasted red peppers, and the like. Spice level is irrelevant. Put more simply, the green sauces taste “green” and the red sauces taste “red”; and are better on different things. The good ones are hot as hell regardless of color.








  • These days we have been going by the rule:

    • If you are here you have always been here
    • If you are not here you have never existed

    The people I play with are far too inconsistent and we have to take what we can get. Complicating things too much is just another barrier that we don’t need. We do have a decent sized group with a couple of reliable players, so this is probably easier to do with this group than with a smaller one.

    Note: We are all pushing 50 and are pretty busy with work and family, which is a big contribution to the flakiness.
