Shit you must have massive glutes

The "left", insofar as it seeks to limit speech, usually tries to limit hate speech towards minority and oppressed groups.

The "right" usually limits speech to restrict the voices of those same minority and oppressed groups. Equating the two is absurd at best.

I'm a barista, coffee houses were a relatively new thing in 1700. People from the Middle East and East Africa would probably understand "I make coffee", and maybe some very trendy Europeans as well (Wikipedia says the first coffee house in Europe opened in 1645 in Austria.)

If they weren't familiar with coffee, I'd say I make a beverage with the opposite properties of beer. It's hot and perks you up where beer is cold and dulls your senses.

(Random thought: how did beer refrigeration work pre-industrial revolution? Were our ancestors chugging lukewarm beer?)

This is a great comparison for people who are aware of racial issues but aren't as informed about LGBTQ+ stuff, I'll definitely keep it in mind!

I appreciate you calling out the use of the term "normie". Communities that frequently use such terms always end up with an unhealthy "us vs them" mentality.

Like I'm not surprised people don't react well to someone bringing up privacy issues if said person starts the conversation with the mentality of "how do I enlighten this normie?"

Everyone says this kind of stuff about any and every social issue. It drives me insane, do people not realize that it's a self-fulfilling prophecy? If everyone I heard say "there's no point fighting it" got together and fought it, they'd easily win.

Most queer people I know and have talked to agree with you. I certainly do, labels can be useful but as a society we clearly focus way too much on them.

Where queer people might take issue with your comment (I'm definitely lightly irked) is that cishet people never say "I wish we would stop focusing on labels" unless the discussion is about queer labels.

People will straight up say "omg we need to chill out about labels, we're all the same" then turn around and say shit like "men are from Mars, women are from Venus" or "boys will be boys".

Note: I have no experience brewing or drinking robusta varieties or blends, but I figure the basics are the same/similar to arabica.

For immersion brew methods such as the French press, you get a huge dropoff in extraction rates as time goes on. A two minute steep will be massively underextracted compared to a four minute steep, but in my experience a four minute steep and a 10+ minute steep will be pretty similar in terms of extraction. A bonus of a longer steep time is that the coffee will be at a better tasting temperature.

Sorry, I definitely might come off as rude in this comment, but this line of thought really annoys me. Do you think people are poor simply because they're too dumb to think "I should spend less money on groceries?" Don't you think they've already considered finding a better-paying job, if such a possibility exists for them? If moving is even an option for them (which is a big if), where do you suggest they get the money to rent a moving truck, as well as the money for a security deposit on a new apartment?

Your comment is about as helpful as asking "Have you tried not being poor?"

I smoke weed every day. Casual marijuana consumption is definitely socially acceptable here (I'm in Canada where it's legal) but I've been high more often than not for the past 8 years or so.

Desktop environment, think KDE or Gnome.

Have you set up port forwarding for qbittorrent?

Thanks for sharing! I've only had one truly bad trip but it was quite similar to what you describe in your comment. It turned out to be overall very positive for me (long story short: I came out as non-binary) but it truly is a terrifying experience, especially in the moment when it feels like it's lasting forever.

Sorry to hear about your mom, I wish you both the best!

I did some like 2 weeks ago after over 2 years of not doing any because I was scared I was going to have a difficult experience. (Surprise, I did and I've never suffered so much in my life before. Still worth it.)

I haven't done shrooms in almost two years for those same reasons despite really missing the experience. This is making me think I need to take the plunge and use it as an opportunity for introspection, however tough that may be.

I'm running GrapheneOS, so out of 82 apps on my phone only 10 packages aren't open-source. These include social media, messaging, banking, and Google Play Store/services. So around 88% FOSS.

I only use proprietary software on my device if there doesn't exist a FOSS alternative*.

*I know there are open-source options for social media/messaging but I don't really consider having to convert my whole social circle to a new platform to be a viable alternative.

You didn't even mention the biggest technological leap; recording. Being able to capture music and play it at one's will fundamentally changed virtually everything about music.

Btw, "cryptobro" is a sexist term that excludes women.

I'm usually that person getting downvoted for insisting on inclusive language so I totally get you, but girl I've never met a cryptobro who wasn't a man.

Higgs and his gang are for sure foaming at the mouth looking at this situation from over in New Brunswick.

Another point: for equivalent models. Car manufacturers over the past two decades have been dropping the more affordable sedans and such from their lineups, favouring their more expensive SUVs.
