Can’t you just create the community you desire?

ccunning ,

Extending the traditional trigger’s function by adding more and more complex Rube Goldbergian designs just moves where and how the trigger starts.

“I was not aware of that”

ccunning ,

You can. There is a capital ‘R’ in ‘Replying’ (or ‘Ross’ in the previous message if you think it’s a different font) for reference.

Likewise with Palestinian and Hamas.

People seem to struggle so hard with this but it’s so obvious I have to assume it’s willful ignorance.

His geopolitical worldview is disappointingly Kissinger-esque.

That’s a surprising take for some one on Nixon’s list of political opponents

ccunning ,

In a sub (community?) called PoliticalMemes I assumed it was a fake article…

Seems to be the rule in a lot (most? All?) of the news subs. In those cases I just report them for breaking the community rules…

The parallels to Vietnam are…what’s the opposite of unending? Unstarting?

ccunning ,

I absolutely love Chatuchak market, but man that place is a disaster in waiting. It’s a miracle this wasn’t more tragic than it was.

ccunning ,

Now that we've had him for four years, and he was worse than we expected...

He far exceeded my expectations.

ccunning ,
  • Massive infrastructure bill
  • Student loan forgiveness
  • Marijuana rescheduling

There’s plenty more, but my expectation was for him to not be Trump which he has thoroughly succeeded at. The rest is icing.

The biggest things he’s disappointed on, Trump disappoints on too…:

  • Palestine
  • Being too fucking old

…so it’s easy to see how that on balance he has exceeded expectations…

ccunning ,

Yes. Being better than Trump is a low bar.

Are you confused about what’s happening here?

ccunning ,

Any boomer/Gen x fox news viewer will now just think Donald did it and look no further.

Nothing like those Millennial Fox News viewers

ccunning ,

Even after reading the whole thing (I think I need a shower), I’m not even sure what they’re mad about.

    Ok - If this is where you’re coming from, why are you boosting this shit?

    ccunning ,

    Is there a link? Why is it a screenshot?

    ccunning ,

    That’s a news article. Not a campaign release.

    ccunning ,

    Please elaborate on the logical connection between a news article reporting Trump is losing his license to carry a gun and a screenshot purportedly from the Biden campaign.

    And please tell me you understand the difference between the two. It’s not insignificant.

    If this is a release from the Biden Campaign it should be trivial to provide a link. I looked and couldn’t find it, but that doesn’t mean it’s not there.

    ccunning OP ,

    TBH I was expecting a lot worse from him. I was doubly surprised he acknowledged Russia as a threat…

    ccunning ,

    He's going to get away with everything

    Only the federal cases; only if he wins in November.

    I didn’t know irony could be this disgusting

    The culture war serves as a distraction from the class war

    I love pizza of all shapes sizes and toppings, but if you want to know my favorite “you can only have this from now on” pizza, imma be a basic assed NY style pepperoni pizza bitch…

    ccunning ,

    They said “pizza”, not “tomato soup bread bowl”…

    J/k - looks epic. Sad I didn’t get a chance to try a real Chicago style deep dish pizza on my first trip earlier this year 😞…

    ccunning ,

    trashy pizza

    I’m going to assume you didn’t mean this trashy but I stand by a Totino’s Party Pizza cooked on a Presto Pizzazz Pizza Oven being epically underrated trashy pizza option.

    ccunning ,

    You could even say it’s…iconic 🍕

    ccunning ,

    So this is just a venue to say shitty things without repercussions?

    ccunning ,

    People have been so trained to pick a team and stick to it that the basic humanity of the situation has become difficult for some folks.

    It’s not hard. Killing or harming innocent people or causing death or harm to come to them indirectly is bad. Conflating different groups of people to justify harm or death is not an excuse.

    Now we just wait for Lemmy to sign that big Gemini deal so this post can be assimilated.

    Oh god. You’ve just summoned them….

    ccunning ,

    Damnit. They tricked me into clicking on their new article for 4 year old news 😒

    There is nothing to see inside. Don’t click; help me redeem myself 🙏

    ccunning ,

    Was not expecting to see Alex Jones presenting.

    When responding to a comment with multiple points, should one create a new thread (new comment) for each point, or should one make a single large comment containing individual responses to all points?

    I encounter situations like this rather often where I am responding to a comment that contains many individual points/statements. I typically will respond with a single comment that contains a quote of each point that is being responded to with my response under neath the respective quote — and, sometimes, for added clarity, a...

    If you’re every boss I’ve ever had you just chose the least important item in the list of questions, answer that, and ignore everything else.

    better grinder for pour over?

    I know high end grinders are probably worth it for espresso, but for pour-over coffee does it make that much difference? I use a Capresso Infinity at either fine coarse or medium coarse and that's about it. Visibly the grind size does look a bit variable to me. Since I'm already in conical bur territory here, are higher end...

    ccunning ,

    Nope. That’s it. That’s the primary advantage. You can get a better grinder for less if you can forego (or byo) motor.

    ccunning ,

    I’m not familiar with the Capresso Infinity, but I can compare my Fellow Ode 2 with the Baratza Encore I got my mom for Xmas last year. Both were purchased on sale for Black Friday. The Ode I got for $265 and the Encore for $120.

    I’m not really a super taster. I don’t think I can tell “muddy” from “clear” without doing a direct side by side comparison. As long as the beans are fresh and not over roasted, I’m basically fine. This was the conclusion I came to after doing James Hoffman’s Great American Taste Test.

    So with all that said, what I appreciate feature and design wise with the Ode over the Encore:

    1. The Ode is much quieter
    2. The Ode’s anti static technology is a game changer for me. (I would honestly consider going back to preground coffee without this)
    3. The Ode’s controls are nicer.
    4. The Ode has less retention (but still more than I’d like)
    5. The Ode’s design is more pleasing visually (to me)

    I know a lot of this is subjective and I also understand a lot of what makes the premium worth it to me is irrelevant to others.

    I had to wrap mine with rubber bands to hang on to it even without the drill

    ccunning ,

    Better than just sticking my finger in the blue cheese dressing tho…

    ccunning ,

    When I say “better” what I really mean is “more socially acceptable”.

    Carrots are also more socially acceptable than my finger…

    ccunning ,

    The opening track What’s Up Danger on the Into the Spider-Verse soundtrack I can’t not hear him sing “I like hard cheeses that I might lose; I like it all on the eggs just like you”.

    And I have to admit I do like cheese on my eggs…

    ccunning ,

    This seems like a semantic “tomatoes are fruits” argument.

    Words have multiple definitions and can meet one definition while not meeting the other.

    Folks have provided one definition for “convict” that Trump meets and you’re simply arguing that he doesn’t meet a different definition for “convict” that no one else is trying to meet. Seemingly simply so you can be “right”.

    It makes sense that a federal prosecutor would use the jargon of the field. Just like a biologist would say “Yes indeed! Tomatoes are fruits!”

    ccunning ,

    Here’s the article. I’ll leave it to you to decide if it matches the headline:

    https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/democratic-war-young-people-poll/

    ccunning ,

    He said himself he doesn’t even know what the charges are.

    Personally I’d have asked my lawyer. Probably before 5 weeks of testimony, but definitely before the verdict.

    What polls say about Trump’s conviction and the 2024 presidential race ( www.axios.com )

    A YouGov poll conducted in the wake of the verdict found that 27% of voters said the conviction made them less likely to vote for Trump, while 26% said they were more likely to vote for him and 39% said the verdict "makes no difference" in how they'll vote.

    ccunning ,

    What is it from the article that you think is pertinent to my comment? I don’t see it.
