  • Salsa. And you don’t even need to cook anything.

    Chop up tomatoes, sweet onion, a bit of fresh pressed garlic, lime. That’s the base. Then just add whatever else. Peppers, spring onions, cilantro (which I personally don’t add because it tastes like soap to me), parsley. Then to taste add a bit of salt, dash of hot sauce. A pinch of sugar can bring things out depending on the tomatoes.

    Adding a bit of sour cream and/or avocado right before you eat it gives it an interesting twist.

    You can keep it in a mason jar in the fridge for about a week. Probably longer but it never lasts more than a day or two in my house.





  • Videos under 10 minutes can’t be monetised, I’m guessing they’re keeping that bit.

    Videos under 8 minutes can’t have mid-roll adverts, but a 2-3 minute video can be monetized and serve front and end roll adverts. Even a 30 second idiot video (IE Shorts) can be monetized but if it’s in the slack-jaw brainslop category (IE Shorts) you need a crap ton of views on it to make money.

    About 2 months ago I did an experiment on my youtube page where I made a stupid 40 second video and then formatted it for regular format and idiot format. Regular format got 1400 views and made $5.86. The shorts video got 2293 views and made .54 cents.

    Most of the shorts views were in the first 4 days and then the algorithm dumped the video. That’s one is done. It won’t been seen again. The long form format got most of it’s views in the first 10 days but it continues to get views every week.


  • Oh, of course they do. But there is more to it than that.

    In the 50s not many gay people were out so it was easy for the Christian right to convince the masses they were child molesters and weirdos worthy of hell. By the 80s, Pride and community unity helped people come out of the closet and not be ashamed or afraid to show the world who they were. Lots of people were coming out of the closet and everyone had at least one gay person in their life. Now it’s harder to convince someone that gay people are bad because they’re exposed to more gay people and they see they’re just like everyone else.

    The mob is stupid. Awareness alone doesn’t cut it. They need exposure as well.
