A YouTuber I quite like, Tom Nicholas, recently made a video going undercover with Just Stop Oil. Warning, it’s an hour long video, but he has interesting analysis of JSO’s actions and he includes the perspective of their members as to why they do what they do.

Beverly Hills - Weezer

I actually quite like Weezer, but goddamn that song drives me nuts for some reason I can’t put my finger on. A close second is Bubbly - Colbie Caillat, in large part because of the line “I get the tingles in a silly place”. It’s such a deranged way to say you’re horny.

Unless you’re buying used (or you really know what you’re doing), you’ll get way better coffee out of the Aeropress than the espresso machine for that price

Of course, the point is moot when you could make coffee just as well in a cheap plastic Aeropress.

My go-to is MF DOOM’s Special Herbs, which are compilations of his beats without the rapping.

My continued existence pisses off fascists.

I’m vegan, non-binary (with dyed hair), car-free, a member of a linguistic minority, poor, and many other things that make conservatives think the world would be better off without me. I strive to survive mostly to spite these fuckers.

Thatcherface will never not make me laugh.

Personally, I think refraining from distributing genocidal propaganda is pretty functionally dissimilar to being a bigot.

I don’t want to come off as abrasive and I don’t want to assume any ill-intent on your part, but it’s fucking frustrating hearing takes like this as a trans person. Equating the refusal to participate in a hateful disinformation campaign to refusing to marry a gay couple is deifying the liberal concepts of law & order at the expense of human decency. It is not hypocrisy to support anti-fascist actions whilst denouncing fascist actions, even if they express those actions in a similar fashion. For example, I largely support Just Stop Oil’s disruptive protests, whereas I would be disgusted if fascists defaced artworks by spray-painting swastikas all over. Is that hypocritical?

Again, sorry if I come on strongly in this comment, my frustrations are definitely from society at large rather than your comment, but having your right to exist being framed as a “political belief” is frankly exhausting.

Ooo I can only imagine TMBG live would be such a fun time, I’m jealous!

I’ve tried both ways and didn’t really note any differences. If anything, unpressed might’ve had a slightly better texture.

I find for crumbled or smaller pieces of tofu, pressing doesn’t do much. It’s really more for when you have bigger chunks and want to marinate it, in my experience.

For a savory breakfast, my go-to is tofu scramble. I keep my spices premixed in a mason jar so it’s really easy. Oil in a pan, crumble up the tofu, add spices and a can of black beans. If I’m feeling fancy or have veggies I want to use up, I’ll fry those up a bit before adding the tofu.

For dessert-breakfast, (vegan) waffles with maple syrup and fresh strawberries is my Saturday morning staple.

If anyone’s curious, here’s the spice mix I use for my tofu scramble (quantities listed are good for around 6-8 blocks of tofu):

4 Tbsp nutritional yeast
2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp black salt (also called kala namak)
1.5 tsp turmeric (for colour)
1/2 tsp garlic powder

The romance language definition begs the question, are French-Canadians Latino?

Barista here, I do latte art even on the to-go orders for two reasons;

1. Practice, it’s a lot less stressful to practice new techniques or variations on latte art when you know you’ll cover it up with a lid, so who cares if it’s messed up?

2. It’s fun!

You never knowingly met a Linux user. Statistically speaking, you probably have.

The issue is that OS-preference is not very common as a small talk topic. This is why you should name drop your fav distro in every conversation.

I work in a café, so I really only pay for my coffee on my days off.

I average maybe half a pound of beans per month for home brewing, so let’s say $20 for a nice bag from a local roaster (in Canada-bucks). Ten or so dollars in V60 filters is enough to last me most of a year, so add a dollar a month. I also like checking out cafés, so add $15/$20 in random café visits, and I’d typically spend anywhere from $20 to $40ish per month.

Like I said, not an expert haha (thanks for explaining what mTLS is because I had assumed I knew but truly didn’t)

That being said, I found a reddit thread detailing what seems to be the same issue as you, with OP linking a Stack Exchange post with their solution.

Using the name of a place to refer to its residents is super common and widely-understood. It’s a form of metonym.

Another example of metonymy would be “White House cracks down on crime”, obviously the White House is a building and cannot enforce laws. “White House” in this situation is a metonym for the President and/or their administration.

Hope this helps clear up your confusion! 😊

What happens to chicks is an intrinsic part of egg farming, though.

After some searching, maybe following the instructions on this blog post would work?

I’m by no means an expert though, so take my suggestions with a grain of salt.

You don’t need even near the amount of male hatchlings that get produced for reproductive purposes. The vast majority of male chicks on egg farms get ground up.

Also, from an animal rights standpoint, “hey we don’t kill all of them, we need some males in order to subjugate their offspring to cruel conditions!” is more of an argument against egg farming than for it.
