I work in food services and just yesterday a temp was fired for “stealing” leftovers that were going to be composted. Like excuse me? They could at least have gotten a warning since they were new not to mention its a cruel policy to begin with.
I’ve foraged and consumed many of the species in my region, but I do not forage amanitas or lookalikes for this exact reason. I don’t care how good matsutake is, I’m not consuming that without independent verification. In Italy they have state officials who will check your mushrooms, in the US we have these mushroom AIs that are bound to get someone killed eventually.
I’m in the Northeast US. There is a lot of overlap in species but there are also a lot of differences. I wouldn’t say there is any region in the world that is safer than others. What makes it safe vs dangerous is how much time you spend learning about your region and safe practices.
I forage mushrooms. I think there is both a healthy fear and an overreaction to how dangerous it really is. A novice can forage for something like chicken of the woods because it is an obvious species that has no deadly lookalikes. However there are mushrooms even I still avoid despite knowing exactly what they are because they have poisonous lookalikes.
What’s really surprising is people seem to think foraging plants to be safer despite there being plants with edible lookalikes like poison hemlock that can kill in minutes.
In the end, a little bit of practice, focus, and understanding safety, mushroom foraging, and plant foraging, is actually much less dangerous than one would imagine. Still, if you don’t know what you are doing you should never eat a mushroom or plant that you aren’t 100% certain is what it is. Never munch on a hunch.

100%. Ads are just corporate propaganda. What would the public do if they didn’t have their symbols shoved in their face every waking hour?
I wouldn’t believe it if I didn’t have multiple friends who I have recently noticed don’t have ad blockers. Absolutely feral behavior and they were properly shamed for it.
The thing is too that mushrooms don’t even cook like vegetables or even like a protein or anything. So not only are they not botanically vegetables, they aren’t even culinarily vegetables either.
Also if you don’t like mushrooms because of the texture, you’re probably cooking your mushrooms wrong.

Insane. My friend is serving 6 months because he fought back against his violent abusive dad one time. This guy gets 6-12 months after killing 2 and injuring 11? Wtf is this system?
I know nothing about Chinese economics and society but at least Im not pretending I do because this is what I imagine it sounds like lol
Never heard of him
We tried getting rid of environmental regulations, safety standards, labour rights, etc. in America and I’m still waiting for when stuff gets built faster… At least the government can’t expropriate property! oh wait… Well at least we still have our rights? oh wait…
I prefer “enshitification”
No one was killed at Freie Universität. You can keep making up scenarios where protestors are killing people but again where are you priorities? That kids shouldn’t protest by occupying university building? That’s a historical way university students have protested. It brought pressure to end Vietnam and south African apartheid in my country.
I’m not your enemy. I just want you to know you are being closed minded. I understand violence is sometimes something that pops up in these moments, but you’re missing the bigger picture. And why do you need to make fantastical scenarios when there are children being starved to death right now? What are you even trying to argue? That we should be genocidong Palestinians that we should ban students from occupying buildings at their university? I mean I think it’s just odd that you can excuse killing of brown children in far away places but you can’t excuse a janitor sho got injured in an occupation in protest of that genocide. It’s just one sided and you should just think about it is all.
While I don’t tend to idolize America be any means, at least we have of freedom of speech. You focus on a protest in the context of a native ethnic group getting wiped off the face of the earth. There is mass starvation and civilian targeting. Its terrible that one person was injured and it’s terrible this is what it takes for people to pay attention, but compared to genocide? You need to take a look at your priorities.
Awesome. And it worked because it got the media to focus on the genocide even if it took further escalation and even if it was negative press. This is an entirely righteous and historically common way to raise attention that hey our government and university is complicit in the murder of 10s of thousands of kids and civilians. This is no different than the white rose resistance. Good for these students. They are heros who are risking their education, rights, and careers to give a voice to those who may not have one.
foreigners who trash University property and threaten their staff violently face deportation
What are you referring to here?
Is this the “jerky” that is repeatedly mentioned in the files?
