#that's a soylent green reference

[lokiinmediasideblog]

All the McSylki marketing just makes me think of Loki begging Marvel not to turn him into marketable plushies only to find out that not only are there marketable plushies, but collectable figurines, sauces, bags,wallets, etc..

And coming soon to a McDonald's near you, nuggets!

McDonald's nuggets is Lokis

"Student green is made out of peopleee!!!!!"

Wow, last month you can post this John Solie poster art! Can’t believe 2022 is almost over

[ridragon]

im considering buying soylent when we have more money to help with bad stomach or nausea days but part of me will never not think of soylent Green... And more importantly: what if I like it??? I don't wanna be known as the soylent lover!!!!!

[goodnessandgrief]

When I’m feeling depressed, it can be nearly impossible to take care of myself, and that includes eating. Here’s a list of some foods that require little to no effort (aka: can be eaten right out of the package or just need to be microwaved), mainly for my personal reference, but also so others can find easier alternatives when they’re struggling.

Water bottles or canned water - stay hydrated!!

vegetables - green beans, peas, corn, black/kidney/pinto beans, chickpeas (all canned or microwaveable frozen bags) - I’ve also tried Harvest Snaps, which are baked snap peas & they’re v good

Fruit - grapes, raisins (or any other dried fruit like apricots/dates), mandarin oranges, apples, applesauce cups, bananas, pears, peaches, etc. (most fruits require no prep anyway, but especially if they’re canned - you can also buy frozen bags)

Canned soup or chicken, beef, or veggie broth

Pasta (ramen, spaghetti, mac and cheese, chow mein) or instant rice are my go-tos. You can buy these in individual cups or bulk packs.

Any microwaveable food - frozen/tv dinners, burritos, toaster strudels (they make an egg bacon & cheese version too!), mini pizzas, breakfast sandwiches… there’s a lot you could do here :)

Dairy - Yogurt, cheese sticks, (or just straight up eat cheese slices, there are no rules here), cottage cheese, almond/oat/soy milk, powdered milk (if you want something shelf-stable)

Grains & carbs - cereal, crackers, chips, popcorn, toast or bagels (I’ve eaten plain bread before tbh and it kinda slaps), Oatmeal (these packets are dinosaur themed & have little sugar eggs!! - https://www.quakeroats.com/products/hot-cereals/instant-oatmeal/dinosaur-eggs)

Nuts - peanuts, peanut butter, almonds, cashews, walnuts, trail mix, etc.

Meat - deli turkey, trail bologna, spam, jerky, frozen chicken strips or nuggets, Morningstar vegetarian corn dogs, canned tuna

Eggs

Fast food or take-out is also a good option if you don’t feel like making anything yourself.

A little tip - most foods you would take on a camping or hiking trip are great! for some, all you need to do is add water & heat it up. they are usually on the expensive side, though!! here’s some I’ve found that are decent:

https://mountainhouse.com/

Things to keep on hand for particularly bad days:

⁠Boost/ensure/Soylent - liquid meals for when the idea of chewing or mixing anything is too much.

⁠disposable cutlery/bowls/utensils so you don’t have more dishes to worry about.

Multivitamins

Liquid IV, Gatorade, or some other form of electrolytes. It’s too easy to get dehydrated!

If you do have a little energy to cook or make something, here’s some ideas:

If you have a blender: frozen spinach + frozen banana + shelf stable almond milk + peanut butter makes a great smoothie.

frozen fruit + frozen spinach/kale for smoothies

Adding whey protein makes it more filling.

⁠dried pasta + jarred pasta sauce (Rao’s is low sugar and awesome, but pricey) + frozen meatballs

Boil tortellini on hand. Its as easy as boiling water. You can eat it plain, add a spoonful of pesto, sprinkle with a little olive oil or butter and some garlic salt, or pour it back in the pan after draining and add a little pasta sauce

⁠frozen fried rice + frozen stir fry veggies

⁠favorite frozen protein and veggies for sheet pan meals

⁠canned refried beans with a tortilla and some cheese to microwave, can add extra toppings too

⁠oatmeal + pb + dried fruit of choice

⁠rice cakes + pb + jam (or substitute bread if you have it)

Rotisserie chicken in a salad, soup, sandwich or wrap

Frozen salmon with some veggies

air fryer foods - chicken nuggets, tenders, fries, etc. You can also toss different vegetables (baby carrots, Brussels sprouts, etc.) in a little olive oil and throw them in there

chicken broth & frozen dumplings - you can dress it up a little with some miso, soy sauce or other seasonings. You could also add some frozen vegetables.

snack type food - a combination of canned Garbanzo beans and black olives. The olives are salty enough that you can get low sodium beans and it will still taste good.

A lot of these ideas I stole from the good people of Reddit (particularly r/depressionmeals)!Here’s the post I referenced if you’d like to look further into it:

[zigcarnivorous]

you know what nobody needs. Mass market bread. Bread is exceedingly easy, homeslice, it is really dumb to SHIP BREAD AROUND .???? 'Mass' market?

Even capitalists would agree, forgive me, it is cheaper to bake the bread as near to the market as possible. Which maximizes freshness and REDUCES SHIPPING AND FUEL COSTS. HELLO

BREAD DOES NOT NEED MASS MARKETING YOU STUPID CAPITALIST PIGLET hellllppppp

Is yeast illegal what is this mentality. BAKE BITCH

Since we're having a new Donbros vs Zenkai trailer, time to scrub the thing again (Zenkai part because Tumblr)

I can only upload up to 30 images in this site, so, ah...

Link to Donbros Part

The narration here is Zocks going all He's the king of Kachiwa Mochi World and you better call him Goldtsuiker-sama.

Do not leave pirates alone for more than 1 year, they get crazy without constant attention.

By the way, in the first screenshot, Isao is there tied up.

Here the Zenkaiger are reacting at the fact.

I'm thinking they decided to do a repeat of Kachiwa Mochi World because the staff wanted more kachiwa mochi to bring home. Who knows really

Kaito is not happy one of his boyfriends went even more crazy than usual.

This parts has flashes. Meaning that maybe, MAYBE, Flint is actually shooting. Look, I would not put that like its OOC, but its OOC against Magine!

Why Juran has a flute. Like, Juran can play the flute? Like, I know that their mouths actually work eating, but they can breathe from there as well? Look, I have been thinking quite a lot about how Kikanoid physiology affected their society under Tojitendo rule, and the final conclusion is Soylent Green is kikanoids, but still.

By the way, I'm pretty sure they are just surprised for the amount of Kachiwa Mochi in Colorful. But the flute. Is it a Super Sentai reference? Maybe.

Gotta love how civilian kikanoids just need some high density foam and then you have a wide range of emotions.

Here's Flint torturing poor Isao, which is not something I'll consider OOC for her in general, but its OOC with Kaito's Dad!

Here's Kachiwa Mochi World in that goddamn lab which we know nothing about and probably holds all the secrets.

Here's Magine landing on the same conclusion everyone else was working on during the montage of Flint been OOC.

It seems the one responsible of getting Hakaizer back is Stacy. It make me anxious this are the only screenshots outside the crossover part we see of him, but, ehhhhh

Here's Zocks demolishing a Sentai team who doesn't want to fight him seriously. Still, he destroyed Magine magic with one punch.

Zenkaizer and Kachiwa Mochi World in that goddamn lab again.

Here's them hyping the Kaito vs Zocks aspect of it. It's the least interesting part to me honestly.

Let see if Tumblrs lets me!

It didn't for very little, oh well.

To the Crossover part!

What the FUCK happens in Bugsnax!?

I don't wanna spoil The Twist but here's some of my favorite fun facts from the game that I promise you are cannon:

>One of the characters tries to decapitate themselves

>They ask for a "last meal", fully aware that if their hypothesis is wrong they"ll just... die

>The same character offers you the decapitation device as a bed in one of the sidequests... the only thing that changes is that it now has a pillow

>One of the characters is divorced and cannot see his son

>Said character is inspired by Danny Devito

>One of the characters is on the island because no international laws apply there

>You throw sulfuric acid at someone's face

>That someone also cuts their own leg and tries to eat it as an experiment, the leg never regrows

>There's an archeologist who carries around a real skeleton arm and constantly uses it for emphazis when talking

>No one mentions it

>She gives you a real skull when you do one of her sidequests

>Ritual sacrifices are canonical to the story

>Two of the characters are victims of smear campaigns by the government because one of them tried to be a whistleblower, leaving their job options as scientists rather slim

>This created a genuine sense of paranoia in one of them

>"What do you know about love? that's why your wife left you!" is a real quote

>This is not directed at the divorced guy mentioned before

>Cannibalism is stated multiple times

>There's more than one criminal on the island

>Depending on your actions, that statement includes you

>A genuine strategy to beat one of the bosses is to set yourself on fire

>One of the characters was abandoned by his family

>There's a whole section that is pretty much a long testicle joke

>The videogame inspirations are games like Pokemon Snap, Animal Crossing and Viva Piñata

>The movie inspirations, however, are Apocalypse Now, The Island of Dr.Moreau and Aliens

>The movie inspiration is heavy and apparent throughout the whole thing

>There's a reference to Soylent Green and The Wickerman

>You can force the equivalent of a vegan to eat the equivalent of meat and he is completely unaware it's your doing

>"Believe me, I got this condition where I'm deathly allergic to, uh, jail time"

>There's a clear, very unsubtle BDSM joke

Beautiful Spouse’s Rewatch Thoughts SPN 06x06

You Can’t Handle the Truth

“The fuck” “oops” “That’s some unhinged shit, dude” “The Happy Place” “Squish” “Oh I know now why you wanted to watch one more” “Didn’t Sam sell his soul or something?” “Cat” “Crochet Today” “Why is one tie red and the other one blue?” “Why is the dentist being creepy?” “Oh there we go” “Yeah that would be my reaction too. Jesus Christ man” “I thought it was the unhinged doctor but no it was something else.” “That didn’t follow the Hippocratic oath” “Now Sam is wearing the red tie” “Talk with that face” “So if it splattered that way, how is the floor not filled with blood and how is Dean not tracking blood everywhere” “Harry’s got a horn” “oh shit” “in the hotel room” laughed

“They’re like this close” I waved at Misha

“He’s looking straight at you” “He made that drink last a really long time” “Doctor Giggles” “What’s he hinting at? Were the bodies raptured?” “That’s not a news anchor” “you could never say that kind of shit in a public stairwell. What if someone heard you around the corner?” “that’s a good line” “what?” “Know why she’s snorting oxy all day?” “Mm hmm” “Idk if I would have gone for the double take but whatever” “To be fair they didn’t look fake” “What is it with these hunters, man?” “She didn’t even need truth horns to say that.” “Shouldn’t have gone for the visit” “Who puts a cat statue on a cat tree? Who’s the statue for? A real cat would have knocked that down ages ago” “I don’t know what Soylent green” “What’s with the old desktop?” “Dean’s always fkn eating” “We’re going to need to pay you to walk up stairs. We’re going to point a camera at your ass” “meow” “oh delicious” “Is this a WestWorld situation?” “yeah” “I don’t know that reference” Me neither

“Dean’s a lot quicker at cranking one off” “dun dun dun” “a bunch of shit is wrong with you im sure” “yay” “ding dong” “crunchy”

Makes me think of Amazon's meal replacement drink called Soylent

For reference, Soylent Green is a 1973 movie about overpopulation in which it's uncovered that the food they've been eating, Soylent Green, is made of people. Why would you name your meal replacement drink after it?!

There's nothing funnier to me than a company named “Crowdstrike” taking out multiple computers worldwide. Great job, buddy, you sure did.

[eyeballtank]

Random thoughts

1: I wonder if some star constelations no longer exist, since stars can die.

Like the "Big Ursula" or whatever you call it. Because ancient explorers even used them as reference when lost.

2: I wonder if Egyptian music that we see in movies, shows etc is like the actual music that existed in ancient Egypt.

3: I was once thinking on comparing bees to mosquitos for some reason. One at least gives us honey but the other takes our blood like vampires and sometimes carries diseases. Both sting but one is not as bad as the other. Though some variations of wasps can still be very dangerous but mosquitos are like used needles sometimes.

4: It's funny that the current year is based off Jesus' birth and even Atheists use that instead of "the year is 5000000000000000000000000 because that's when the Big Bang happened". Kinda like how even they say "Jesus Christ" as an expression.

5: Kinda funny that our current tech and creations made humans live longer yet there's so much that can technically decrease or lifespan and give us cancer. Almost like the lifespan extension part was humanity unlocking something that should've been default, which is why we'll never get any stronger than that.

7: If the human body is 70% water and water is a valuable but limited resources, what if there's a plot to kill people and turn their remains into water? I know Bill Gates wanted to turn shit into water but imagine if there's an actual Soylent Green plot about water.

8: Kinda weird that mold affects both people and stuff like walls. It's like how the word virus applies to both micro organisms that affect people and things that affect computers.

ok but the tie in book indicating troy and gabby are lost in space fans is adorable. and the idea they're old sci fi nerds [didn't realize troy had the forbidden planet robot until it was pointed out] is adorable, i have images of them shouting SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE in the cafeteria one lunch

i don't understand the reference, but i support troy and gabriella nerding out together

Commentism

Originally published October 27th, 2014

One day, the inventor of the Internet had a brilliant idea.

"My goodness... It's genius!" "WHAT IS IT, PROFESSOR STINKLES." "Why Bebop4000, my robot companion, do you know how people are always remarking things to each other?  Sharing their thoughts about a central thing?" "YES PROFESSOR STINKLES I AM NOT A DUMBASS." "Well, what if, when somebody puts something on the Internet, other people--can REMARK about it?!" "THAT IS A WEIRD QUESTION.  HOW WILL YOU DO IT." "I'll create a--a little box!  And in the box, people can write a comment.  And they can make more and more comment boxes!" "CANNOT COMPUTE." *massive explosion*

And despite their untimely deaths, this idea of comments indeed became a thing.  But I don't think anyone expected it to become as glorious as it did.

YOU get a comment!  YOU get a comment!

...hmm, that wasn't--well, anyway, there's reviewing products, there's commentating on live events, but in the comments section on the Internet, you've got a global bathroom wall where everyone can read and participate at any time while taking a giant dump.  And some people have really found their calling with comments, because they're fantastic at it.

I was supposed to be a fighter pilot.

...Alright, that needs to stop, whatever that is.  ANYWAY, these certain commenters make reading comments a form of entertainment.  It could be one person or a whole group of people, and the possibilitites are endless.  With timing, grace, finesse, and maybe a diaper or something, these commenters essentially create literature: A dialogue that can stand on its own from the very thing that's being commented on.  Comments imitating art, if you will.

Yes, I'm sure the infinite contributions of "fake and gay" would make a fine book.

Hey, if Kim Kardashian can make a book about her selfies, anything is possible.

please buy my book guys, its all the times i accidentally took a screenshot on my phone

EVERYBODY CALM THE FUCK DOWN I'M TRYING TO TALK.  So YES, THESE kinds of COMMENTS are VERY ENTERTAINING, and I've even indulged in making them myself.  But I've noticed an interesting phenomenon.

Soylent Green is people!

SHUT THE FUCK UP.  THE PHENOMENON is that these COMMENTS are BECOMING THEIR OWN POSTS.  I look at these expansive constructions of commentary and think that they themselves should be a separate piece with their own comment boxes.

Comment-ception.

BUUUUUUUMMM.

You have to write a comment in one minute that takes two minutes to read.

It's two minutes to write, one minute to read, dumbass.

Go home, you're drunk.

Is that why somebody called him a BUM?

Guys, alcoholism is a serious problem.

Yeah, come on guys, you're bumming me out.

The road to recovery is a bumpy one.

I recorded twelve songs about my own experience as an alcoholic.  You can buy it on my brand new album.

I am a bum.  am I doing this right?

Alcohol is a serious probum.

I actually think I may be onto something there.  In fact, and I'm totally serious, I had an idea for a social network specifically for comments.  But I'm getting off track.  My point is that with all this focus on comments, sometimes you lose sight of the original post.  And I know some of these original posts encourage this comment spectacle, and some people don't mind what happens to their posts, but you know what?  I kind of do.  Call it controversial, but I think some posts should be spared the comment circus.

Is the op trying to reclaim control of his own post?

ITS A TRAP.

If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

Hahahaha, Star Wars, it's funny because it's a reference, what I'm trying to get at here is that perhaps we should use more discretion when commenting.  Maybe take a look at these original posts and decide whether they might be important enough to deserve their own attention?  Hell, I've had a lot of important posts I've made that have been subject to comments that have distracted people.  I even used to do the same thing to other people.  I love comments, but I think there are some posts that are too important for this parading of comments.  Dare I say it, I am a COMMENT ACTIVIST.  COMMENTISM.

#Kony2012

#GamerGate

#StopYellowFever

#KKK

#sicsemptertyranis

#MenAre#1

#But there's two sides to commentism.  I've made many frivolous posts which have been commented on.  I've watched the comments get more likes than my own post, and its always (to my surprise) really upset me.  It's people essentially declaring that they prefer what someone else said over what I said.  That my content is inferior.  And you know what?  That's a bummer for me, but what's wrong with it?  There's no rule that my original post should be considered better than comments made on it, and there shouldn't be.  Hell, I've made comments on posts that wound up more popular.  Comments may bother me, but just because something was based off of another thing doesn't mean it can't be as great, or even greater.  Dare I say it, I am a COMMENT ACTIVIST.  COMMENTISM.

tl;dr

what are you doing making words?  this is AMERICA

*eagle dives into pool of fireworks*

'MURICA

Morocco?

'MUROCCO

*Moroccan eagle dives into pool of Moroccan fireworks*

SO TO SUM THINGS UP I think comments are grand.  I think that sometimes comments seem right when they're actually out of place, and I think that sometimes comments seem wrong when they're actually fine as they are.  I think this is all something that people really don't consider much because people don't take comments seriously.  But let's face it, a lot of us pay attention to comments.  We notice them more than we think.  So maybe this commentism thing is worth your time.  After all, we're all commenters.  We're all in this race together.  And as long as we're racing, we may as well finish it in...

...

Come on guys, I literally set this one up for you.

FOURTH.

SECOND.

EIGHTY-THIRD.

PI.

SECOND.

ONE HALF.

NEGATIVE EIGHTY-THIRD.

Oh, comments.

a "energy bar" its green and kinda chunky

((its soylent green

((I'll step in here, because again, I get the reference. If only in passing. Never seen the movie, BUT, I have heard the line.

For those that don't know, I'll put it under a Read More, but it's a bit TOO dark for my liking. I'm not really all that sure what to tag this other than "death". No offense taken or meant, though.))

The line, from the movie Soylent Green, is rather succinct in why I'm not gonna subject Rose to this, because admittedly? She'd be oblivious.

"Soylent Green is people!"

It's a "nutritional wafer" made from, ah. Dead people.

It's a very interesting twist by the sound of it and the movie has won plenty of awards, I may actually check it out just to see the horror unfold knowing the big twist, but. Nah. Not for Rose.

(Tenor Jussi Bjorling sings on Voice of Firestone, and the Nelson family poses for The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet.)

Day 64- TV and Radio: 

TV: 

1. Howdy Doody, October 1st, 1952. 

2. Tales of Tomorrow, season 2, episode 7, “Substance X,” October 3rd, 1952. 

3. The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, season 1, episode 1, “The Rivals,” October 3rd, 1952. 

Radio: 

You Bet Your Life, October 1st, 1952. 

Voice of Firestone, “Jussi Bjorling,” October 3rd, 1952. 

Phil Harris and Alice Faye Show, “Hotel Harris,” October 5th, 1952. 

There was a lot of interesting stuff today! On Voice of Firestone, “The Swedish Caruso,” tenor Jussi Bjorling sang. Bjorling definitely has a powerful voice- it's even more noticeable to me, having just heard Mario Lanza. The orchestra selections were mostly parts of operas, but they were riveting. One song I knew solely from Takarazuka- “Nessun Dorma,” from the opera Turandot. It was gorgeous. 

On You Bet Your Life, a couple won their section, won the word of the day, and then won the bonus question. That gave them $1880, which would be almost $22,000 today! There was also a bit of fun banter between the first contestant and Groucho. She said she was 46 and unmarried, so Groucho asked, “Would you like to get married?” “Not particularly.” “Why Not?” “While I’ve tried it three times.” “So what? The Republicans have tried it four times and they’re still going!” 

The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet was interesting to me, because it’s one of those shows that was a cultural reference point for decades, and I’ve never seen it. It was a decent family sit-com, made unique by the fact that they were a real family. I liked that the pace was a little slower, so it didn’t just go from punchline to punchline. 

Finally, Tales of Tomorrow was creepy to the max. It was about a mysterious substance that people in a tiny town ate to the exclusion of all else, yet they managed to thrive. What was it? (It wasn’t Soylent Green!) Most of the episode was a homerun for me, except for the fact that Ayn Rand seemed to have written part of it. When the people are just given all the food they want without having to work for it, everyone suddenly loses their ambition to go to work or do anything productive anymore. Gag me. (It’s stupid anyway, because of the simple fact that people want more than just food in life! No one would want to work for any possessions? For cars, houses, clothes, jewelry, status, etc?) 

...And now a word from today’s best sponsor: Wonder Bread! Hey kids! Do you want to grow bigger and stronger? Well, then you need to tell your mom to buy you Wonder Bread! Only Wonder Bread has 8 ways to build strong bodies! It’s got as much protein as meat, as much calcium as cottage cheese, as much phosphorous as an egg, as much iron as three lamb chops, as much vitamin B-1 as fried liver, as much vitamin B-2 as four slices of cheese, as much niacin as six sardines, and as much energy as 2 glasses of milk! That is, if you eat at least 2 slices with each meal every single day! Now watch as we tie a puppet to a red, yellow, and blue balloon, just like the package with red, yellow, and blue bubbles! Remember to nag your mother- you need 6-8 slices every day!

Memories and Conclusion (So Far)...

I didn’t use to think of Life as a puzzle, and maybe it’s due to my jigsaw hobby (200 piece puzzles are now challenging), but reflecting on my memories and perceptions–maybe dreams–I am pausing to reflect. An indelible memory to which I’ve referred previously is the scene from the 1973 movie Soylent Green, portraying the drama of overpopulation, among other things.  (Overpopulation on Earth in…
