  • That probably describes a good chunk of Trump supporters. They are very enamored by the idea of strength and the terms they use reflect that influence it has on their world. The idea that America is presently diminished and will become great = a strong and respected nation leading other nations. The desire for hypermasculine men and submissive women. If their leader looks weak, they're sensitive to that. They'll deny it as long as they can, of course. But there could very well be a point where the collective feeling turns away from Trump.

  • There's no voting on the rules. One family (and this is just the one family that spoke up about it) vs one or two families that wanted Trump there means zip. The article focusing on the complaining family is just making it about human interest. Rules is rules.

  • As a California resident I can tell you the only white people working in those fields are the owners and supervisors. The immigrants and undocumented are much of the reason a head of lettuce doesn't cost $8. And this kind of work is so hard nobody else wants to do it. Early hours, cold in the morning, hot sun in the afternoon, the only shelter is when you're taking a break, a lot of stooping and bending.

  • Yeah, but they're also busy trashing Kamala too.

    "Is Harris an ideal candidate? Is she an incredibly talented orator? Is she deft on her feet and nimble in debate? Is she a famous wonk? Does she have a long track record of competence at the state and federal level? Has she been scrutinized by a tough no-nonsense press and come out stronger on the other side?" wrote Wright. "No, of course not — but she’s an alternative to Trump/Biden, and that’s probably going to be enough."

  • The far right is obsessed with this image of hyper masculinity from Alex Jones's magic pills to Andrew Tate to AI generated Trump with Superman's figure. Their ideal men in that world do not show emotion and they damn well never cry even in happiness, that stuff is for women and other weaklings that need a strong man to run their lives. And it's all based in insecurity.

    They have no idea that people with real strength of character are secure in themselves and can show tenderness and vulnerability knowing that does not define them as weak.

  • '"What they are doing is a communist takeover of our country… This is Communist; this is Marxist; this is fascist," teh Republican presidential nominee further said. '

    Tell me you don't know the meaning of these words without saying you don't know the meaning of these words.

    (And yes this shitshow of a news site did spell it 'teh')

  • So it can notify you when the water has reached the set temperature or the time you set for cooking is up. Which can be handy. However, I found the BT very weak on my Anova and it would lose connection when I went into my home office a mere 25' away, so I stopped using it. There's actually no need for the water to be up to temperature before you put your food in, and food can sit as long as you want; half the point of sous vide is to be able to hold food at temp without overcooking. So you don't really need the timer either.

  • I hate lugging around that heavy noisy thing, and I don't have pets. I'm a bit shocked at how much hair two humans drop in a week. The robovac runs twice a week and I empty it once a week, and it keeps the more open/obvious spaces looking pretty pristine. Dust on a shiny floor really shows. There are places where it cannot go and those need to be done by me, but they're less visible areas so no need for frequent vacuuming.
