  • French press is basically the same work as a drip machine, but a different shape. You just heat the water seperately and then pour it and the coffee into the French press, let it sit, press the plunger down, and pour. Actually takes slightly less time than any cheap dropper I’ve used and runs 0 risk of burning the coffee (drip machines like to put heating elements into their bases to keep the pot hot, this can burn the coffee and ruin the flavor, French presses cannot burn coffee because they cannot add heat)

    Espresso is finely ground coffee that uses steam pressure to brew (thus why espresso machines are fucking expensive, my mr coffee unit was 80 buck), it’s an involved process (worth learning gif you’ve got 20m to make a cup of coffee every time) but very good if you use beans you like AND you like your coffee flavor strong



  • But what I immediately thought of afterwards was the woman who died of sepsis in the Texas ER while miscarriaging, and the doctors couldn’t help her because that would be abortion and they would have to risk going to prison - to me that’s a fuckload more “cold” than getting kicked out of a D&D game. Any thoughts?

    I’ve been screenshotting every article like that I see so I can send them randomly to all the family members numbers who I know voted for trump. From my burner numbers, which I can rotate super easily. The next 4 years will not be quiet for them

    Its really unlikely mostly because we’d have to go authoritarian as fuck to get the maga traitors out before they could seriously damage us from within

    The Sierra Nevada make a great natural barrier on one side, then the big ass desert to the south, so getting large amounts of anything in once we cut ourselves off would actually be harder than youd think

    If we successfully negotiated with Mexico, Canada, or someone to back our asses up we might be able to manage it just off the idea that bombing us to oblivion is a really bad idea for your supply of quite a few crops & your major entertainment for the country as well as the busy ass ports on our shores, and that’s before you consider how much the rest of the world would find such a move incredibly distasteful from a “holy shit what did you just do” aspect

    All in all if ANY state can successfully pull it off, it’s California, but it’s not going to happen


  • You’re right

    It’s cute that you think this is some sort of opinion issue. It’s purely fact that what’s been claimed as happening in this thread doesn’t. Yet you keep pretending it does because you desperately want to be right.

    the majority

    Lol you idiots aren’t even close to the majority on this specific opinion. Most people are capable of grasping basic English.

    Enjoy the next election

    Whatever you say, fascist! Keep spreading that sweet sweet misinformation




  • Maybe what they are trying to say is that most everyday folks don’t use those terms in any normal conversation

    Then say that and not that they’re “impenetrable jargon”, because saying what they said makes you come across as so stupid it’s unbelievable and wraps around to “too obvious”

    I’ve never used those terms myself and haven’t heard them in any conversation I can recall outside of the Internet.

    Yeah, because they’re not actually all that relevant to normal life, but online it’s far easier and simpler to put them out there so people can properly address you in the anonymous internet. Also being put into games and shit for representation, which is likely included in what the person was whinging about



  • There you go not listening again

    Say something valid, then. I also live in the middle of rural dipshitville so acting like I’m some elite is a swing and a miss

    even to the point of saying what people are experiencing isn’t happening

    Just keep saying it’s happening without proof, that’ll make it true! Nobody is being called a bigot for not prefacing what they say with their pronouns, people are upset that the option is there at all for people to use because they’re suuuuuper insecure

    Why do so many people feel that way?

    Grifters in the media telling them lies, pretty simple. Well that and gear of change and normal homophobia






  • IIRC a quarter of the Republican ad spending was on that single ad, “The Democrats are for ‘they/them’, Trump is for YOU”. It was that effective.

    Ok, tell me how that’s the Dems calling anyone who isn’t straightforward with their pronouns a bigot. Oh, wait, it’s an argument being made by the party of lies? Then why blame the Democrats?

    I don’t care much who is right morally

    Cool, I’ll mentally keep you with the other people who think that: Trump supporter. Considering your other points I don’t believe you aren’t one, whether you live here or not, you sure as fuck act like one
