I posted up about it in the c/movies@lemm.ee community. Agatha All Along, the only marvel show I'll probably give a try this year.

tl;dr Episode 1, a little rough going down and finding it’s footing. Episode 2, really has me excited for a real witch show about witches (doesn’t feel like Marvel). Episode 3 drops tonight.

If you liked wandavision and enjoyed the original Hocus Pocus I would suggest jumping on the train if you're looking for something new to watch. I'm just now watching reviews on it (like to wait, didn't even know angry joe already has a video) and finding out people are divisive on it for apparently gay characters, but I only picked up on one off-handed comment about a bf lol.

I unfortunately have the same feeling. Around Iphone 4 or so (when they were a lot smaller and sleeker) I got a slim phone case that could hold a card and my ID. It felt so nice going on a trip with only that in my pocket (not having to worry about if I feel my wallet in my back pocket, etc) but I couldn't get over the fact that if I lost the phone I would be utterly screwed and a long way from home. Tend to always have a back-up now adays since I don't want to have to put up with that.

I suppose I used to but it was mostly around like a pool or something that would cool you off. If I'm working all day and sweating my ass off though I'll turn down a beer for lunch for some water lol.

I'm doing it right now, I'm asking if you're doing okay. I'm actively trying atm. I'll assume you are and go about my day I suppose.

  1. just anecdotal, like I said from posts I'm viewing, I won't pick apart your post history for an opportunity for you to argue more :P
  2. K, I was attempting to care but it doesn't matter. Trying to create a more positive perspective of you to myself (since you're so prevalent around here) and I see that I've failed lol

yeah oven is my go-to, need to try the air fryer suggestion from @peopleproblems@lemmy.world though. But I mean I'm not expecting miracles, anything that's been reheated after days isn't gonna be like when it's fresh.

I've been online for like 30 minutes and every post I'm going into has you arguing with someone. Are you doing alright today?

[–] Cataphract@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago (7 children)

ok but you people need to start dropping ideas on how to rehydrate and cover some of the stale taste from days old pizza without ranch. I'll sometimes do a couple of dabs of hot sauce but it makes the crust weird when you're reheating it for some reason.

[–] Cataphract@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

oh wow, I'm usually the complete opposite lol. When it gets hot out I'm not interested in a drink because I'm just gonna get hotter. Give me a splash in a warm coffee though for an afternoon pick-me-up when I'm tinkering into the winter nights sounds nice (especially if your hands are freezing).

In the link comment I provided I did state it was a far off miracle. But, my focus was less on 3rd parties or electoral reform, it was directly related to the "National Committees" that exists. I'm all for state parties, reminds me of when Bell was split into it's different areas. But on a national level I wonder if it can be argued that it's so far removed from focusing on "political ideologies of it's group" to becoming a service provider for selected candidates. You could look at the committee's structures, are they even following their own political ideologies, what type of controlling power they have, etc etc.

[–] Cataphract@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

This question was less about electoral practices are more about a single entity controlling the national level of it's party. I feel the function of these at a national level, can be argued as an organization/company which controls the market for their party. What "political party" protections are there and what distinguishes them from any other organization that could be regulated by the anti-competitive laws. I feel they are political in name only, and can truly be academically and legally viewed as a business (which supports mainly political clients).

Looking at an entire political spectrum and there being only a Duopoly is heart breaking. But I meant more like each one is a true "business monopoly" for it's own perspective market/party. Controlling exposure, funding, data, candidate selection, being generally a lobbying middleman group, at what point does this become less a "political ideological group" and more a business organization that focuses heavily on political candidates? (like a sign manufacturer is technically making political content, but they're still just a business, they're both providing a service or product to individuals).

This is not so much a focus on political parties or ideologies, but more the NC (national committee) portion of it. I understand state political parties. But when expanded to the national committee's of those parties, how are those organizations not considered a monopoly for their parties centralizing and controlling the state level and have completely overtaken national decisions which can effect the state level as well.
