What? I don't see an Aeropress anywhere 😋

An Aeropress is almost certainly less expensive and makes better coffee. No moving parts to break either. Granted it's more involved, the ritual is part of a cup of coffee.

Managed a grocery store for years. 100% accurate except for beads the store defrosts (Canyon, Alvarado, etc).

They have no morals, which is why they can grab power so easily. They're not playing by the rules. Thus to win consistently, you'd need to cheat as well.

Then you're left with two options. Cheat to win too, or rolling heads.

Based on your response, I'm not sure you even read my questions.

What do you mean, did the Biden admin target any particular shows or networks? Are you also aware the current admin is holding off Paramount's merger to exert influence over their programming? IDK how free that feels. May not be directly breaking laws, but it's absolutely a subversion of free speech.

Man, these guys really just hated being associated with Stalin and Mao so much that they're not picking up what you're putting down. You're correct, left wing movements can absolutely be led by authoritarians with a cult of personality. That said, I think most leftists view authoritarianism as something so abhorrent that they don't associate those leaders with actual leftist policies.

As a leftist American, you're right. There's a simply incredible amount of the population who refuse to participate in politics at all, then another huge swathe who gets all their news from social media or a single source which never gives the whole picture. I've protested, I've written my leadership, I've changed family and friends to the side of sanity but it feels like there's just no winning like this. I'm ready for a general strike, to stop paying federal taxes but it's all self harming if done alone. Our leaders have failed us basically across the board and I'm hoping that they've fucked up enough in the eyes of the general public so there's a correction and we can get this country far more socialized and kick corporations off welfare.

Every time I dip a baby carrot in hummus I have to think about Donald Trump because it creates a miniature bust.

I've got $10k for the next president to reenact this with DJT in Obama's spot.

This guy beefs like I beef, meaning it's the correct beef!

Smart is a relative term lol.

A stupid human is still smart when compared to a jellyfish. That said, anybody who comes away from interactions with LLM's and thinks they're smart is only slightly more intelligent than a jellyfish.
