That is mostly my take on waste and compost tbh.

…I mean, no reason 99% of recipes have you peel the garlic in recipes is there!

🤷🏻‍♀️ “no waste”.
Dude. I thought “using garlic skins and onion skins for stock” was the height of frugality but I guess I was wrong.
My personal opinion is wasting all that time and labor is more of a waste than chucking the garlic skins but I get Costco garlic.

By decent amount I mean “any hint of garlic” idk.
My experience with garlic tells me 1. The skins have little to no flavor 2. dehydrating the skins in the oven will only vaporize what flavor IS there 3. You’re gonna have to plaster that powder on, but she’s saying this with such conviction.

It IS a white woman presenting this hack so…
I just imagine I would have to coat my food in a few layers of that stuff to get any decent amount of garlic flavor.
I say, as someone who regularly eats raw garlic in soy sauce as a dipping sauce.

Same….
SAME….
I feel like this is another fake hack but the fact this person is saying this with all sincerity is scrambling my brains.

Again with all those super hero videos and the GI Joe videos 🤷🏻‍♀️ once I started seeing the copaganda it’s everywhere.

Hahahahahahaha because what IS normalcy? The “normal” was incredibly awful, it’s just that before social media, way too much of it was obscured and suppressed.

I’m absolutely not saying it is the same as chattel slavery but learning they have prisoners be firefighters without pay and the prison labor industry and realizing they have just given atrocious exploitation a new facade is revolting.
Looking at “what is the largest demographic in prison” and…

Agreed with all three points. Terrifying to think about the logical conclusion to those points though.

But I admit I’m angry and bitter over how frequently I’ve seen “this isn’t America; this is unAmerican; our government would never” since 2016.
December 8, 2025 at 5:08 PM
Yeah, that’s another thing too. How powerful the POTUS and his crew are.
But my concern over the selling of “they care” is mostly in terms of “is this successfully copaganda-ing” and I feel the real harm in buying into “they care” is part of why people kept saying “this isn’t America”, but it is.

My biggest challenge in my life has been related to learning what success is TO ME. And what is "enough" for ME. Not for HGTV. Not for the way "things are supposed to be" or what mom or great grandma or anyone else would think of the dog-chewed coffee table. They don't have to live my life. I do.

The easier to cut share and store!

….why…what.. uh…. Why is 2025 succeeding so hard at truth is stranger than fiction.

Even better than Law and Order! Way better!
Cuz it makes me want to believe that the people up there on the hill actually care about children starving and genocide.
When, uh, checks notes, yeah about that.
Obviously if the top dudes are good then they will be good officers for those below. Aka cops.

They are showing people who feel pain and sympathy for the average person, who are doing their best to be a bright light in a stormy night, but this is THE UNITED STATES we are talking about, wait while I point to Cuba and Vietnam, and oh wait this is very very very good copaganda isn’t it?
December 8, 2025 at 4:17 PM
Is it not though!
I really enjoyed the episodes I watched in passing when my housemates had it on, but I was forever slightly uncomfortable, in that watching GI Joe or James Bond save the brown chick only to leave her behind while the world explodes behind him way. And then I was like, oh wait.

I’m so glad you had *something*.
