The cope among thr Democrats post election has been embarassing. 0 reflection as to why they lost (just like in 2016), blaming every possible external factor imaginable instead of thinking “hey, maybe we sucked and need to actualy be people that people want to elect” instead of relying on the “ooooh this guy is bed, better vote for us to keep him out” strategy.

They have fucked up in a major way, in what should have been a slam-dunk election, by ignoring what people actually want and trying to be Great Value Republicans when the right has Coca-Cola Fascism readily available to them.

I hope adherence to the corporate staus quo was worth it, you absolute fucking buffoons.

“Kamala Harris Hillary Clinton predicted to win by nearly every major forecaster”

Its like 2016 never even fucking happened lol

If someone is undecided at this point, they’re either disingenuous and embarrassed about their support for Trump, or they’re a moron.

Agreed. Thats why I like the reverse sear method of:

• Salting the steaks
• Rest them on a wire rack (preferablt in the fridge overnight, but at least an hour)
• Cook it in the oven at a low temp until the thickest part is at ~120°F
• Sear in a high heat cast iron pan a minute or two per side until you like the crust.

The nice think about baking it vs sous-vide is that the oven dries out the surface for a reallt nice crust. You also dont need to buy a sous-vide setup and can use things you already have.

The only downside to this method is that you dont get anything in the pan for a pan sauce (if thats what you’re into).

Of all the music apps, why? I HATE Youtube Music. I only use it because I get it free with Youtube Premium, but its a shit app. Google Music and Google Podcasts died for this?

First off, I can’t separate my podcasts from my music like I used to when we had two discrete apps, so whenever I want to listen to one, it erases the queue for the other. Why not have the ability to have seperate playlists for each?

Then there was the whole “merging your liked Youtube videos with your liked songs”, so you’d get the audio from a 7 minute video playing at random intervals while you’re just trying to listen to music. To their credit, they did fix that after several months of user complaints.

It also crashes fairly regularly when I’m broadcasting to my Google home speaker, which is actually kind of funny when you think about it.

All in all, 2/10 app, would not recommend.

Right? The democracts need to stop being the “not as bad” party and start being the “actually good for people” party if they want people to vote for them.

Ah, sweet, new manmade horrors beyond my comprehension.

Ill always remember the clip of Jordan Klepper at a Trump rally talking to a guy who has been making four times as much as he ever did under Obama during the Trump presidency.

His field of work? Debt relief.

Womp womp.

Betteridge’s Law: Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word ‘no’.

Hasnt he been in hospice care for like a year and a half now?

Newsflash: with the increasing extreme weather events, everywhere is becoming a “disaster-prone area”.

Asheville, NC is 300 miles from the nearest coast and still got its shit rocked by a hurricane.

AI “art” removes the hurdle for the wealthy of actually having talent to produce “art”, while simultaneously removing the artist’s ability to produce wealth from their talents.

Everytime someone shares an AI generated video, song, picture, etc., I cringe a little. Its just not good, or at best, anything that couldn’t be produced by a reasonably capable artist, but hey at least its free, right?

You can reliably quickly tell if a news source is credible depending on how many appeals to emotion and superfluous adjectives/descriptors are found in their articles.

A lot of it is about parsing multiple sources, and extrapolating the data from the spin.

Israel has killed approximately FIVE TIMES as many kids under the age of ten alone than the entire Israeli casualty count from Oct 7.

This is not defense, its extermination. I have no idea how anyone can look at the data and take it any other way.

I recommend you touch grass. Valuing yourself by imaginary internet points is not going to do you any good.

“Are towels supposed to bend?” Is one of my all time favourites haha.

The issue is trying to use genres as specifically as possible instead of being a broad category that covers a wide range of music.

Metal is the worst for this. The vast, vast majority of people would call everything from Black Sabbath to Metallica to Pantera to Death to Behemoth “metal”, but the genre snobs need to differentiate it all for some reason.

Yet, we’re perfectly okay to call everything from Blue Oyster Cult to Fleetwood Mac to Nickleback “rock”.

Boy, that Chef must have egg on his face.

The Museum of History in Canada has a cool solution to this regarding some of their indigenous artifacts.

They either come to an agreement with the people who the historical item belongs to for the museum to keep it, or they give it back with either a placard explaining why the item is no longer at the museum, or reproduction in its place with a sign explaining that its a repro.
