Fuck French toast because it is decadent but usually entirely to much.

Marry waffles because they are perfect and precious.

Kill pancakes.

Eat up all the gumdrops, presumably

Edit: not to mention, feeding 42M people for a year is great, but it’s a far cry from solving world hunger.

Like, how, though? Money isn’t just a magic wand that makes things happen, you have to spend it on stuff. Solving world hunger is a complex technological, political, logistics problem. Where do you make the food? How do you store it? How do you get it to hungry people? How can you make that a persisting, resilient system so you’re not back to square one in a few years?

He’s a long term investor. He’s not an agricultural scientist, or logistics expert. What more do you want him to do, personally? He’s already donated something like $60B to organizations that do fight to address world hunger, and poverty, and health.

Don’t get me wrong, I agree billionaires shouldn’t exist, but that’s a failure of the system itself. He’s just playing the game he was born into. He’s donated a huge portion of his wealth to these causes already, and promised to donate basically the entirety of the rest when he dies. Like what else do you want him to do about world hunger?

That’s actually a thing

Completely agree.

There are literally hundreds of complex interconnected issues that affect our daily lives. It is impossible to have a well-informed stance on all of them. No one benefits from strong opinions based on an oversimplified understanding. That’s childish.

Well, Pluto being reclassified as a dwarf planet doesn’t really have anything to do with the scientific method. “Planet” is a manmade concept, we just changed the definition for that classification to avoid having to add the dozens of bodies we discovered since Pluto that would have also met the old definition.

It is absolutely difficult and very time consuming

Amelie for sure. The scene with the blind man made me cry just from how heart warming it was.

The piece of garlic bread I didn’t put away last night. Delightfully crunchy.

I’ll add that if you’re doing sous vide you want a nice thick cut, otherwise when you sear it’ll overcook. Also garlic, rosemary,and butter during sous vide is fantastic.

I like the way “myth” looks

I turned on my volume the other night to make sure I heard my alarm, and forgot to turn it off. I learned a lot of notification sounds that day. Or would have if I’d paid attention beyond “Oh, a notification”

I use the Elegoo Saturn printer and Mercury curing station. No problems so far. I use an old plastic container for my initial wash, and reserve the included container purely for the final wash. I’ve had no issues so far. They’re fairly cheap, especially if you buy second-hand; mine came from the official Elegoo eBay page for refurbished products. I got both for about $300.

For resin, I basically exclusively use the Saturn for tabletop minis, so I use Sunlu ABS-Like because it has enough flexibility that arms and stuff flex a bit instead of breaking. If you want something more rigid I can’t really suggest anything.

I promote right-wing policies: you should always use the right wings for your airplane, using whatever wings you happen to have left in stock is a recipe for disaster. Left-wing policies are dangerous.

I’ve been led to understand that Trix are, exclusively, for children. Is that correct?

I read a theory that the shaken thing is to deliberately dilute the drink. Shaking melts more ice, which waters down the drink a bit, in order to stay relatively level-headed for any high stakes spying you might have to do later.

If you were actually a leftist like you say, you would understand the material conditions that gave rise to Trump and the fact that the democratic party is never going to address those conditions (at least without significant, genuine pressure).

Uh, yeah. Obviously. Never said that wasn’t the case.

It’s just guarantees fascism at a slightly slower pace.

Yeah. Exactly. I said this back at the beginning. A vote for Democrats is a vote for more time to prepare a functional progressive movement. The sole reason to vote for them is to keep fascism developing at the slower of the two inevitable rates, while building the material capability to apply significant political pressure.

The only ones advocating a strategy that has any possibility of averting fascism are us “tankies.”

According to you. It’s a baseless claim unsupported by history or theory.

rather than taking an approach that could potentially save them.

Did you take that approach? Did it save them? Did you get close? That “potentially” is straining the limits of logic. It could have “potentially” saved them the same way I could “potentially” win the lottery tomorrow, and I didn’t buy a ticket. It was a bad plan, it was never going to work, and now the bodies are stacking even faster.

As a “leftist,” you ought to understand how fucked we are regardless of who’s in charge at the moment, and that the capitalists aren’t going to come down from on high to save us.

Yup. And as a materialist, I know that ignoring the mechanics of elections doesn’t get you closer to a solution.

Not getting a dollar you could’ve gotten is no different from losing a dollar you could’ve avoided losing

Categorically false. Arithmetically, psychologically, just plain incorrect. Maybe if you’re a gambling addict, but in the general population we generally find losses are felt much more strongly than equivalent gains. You’re just making up poorly constructed psychological experiments, claiming what those hypothetical results would be, and extrapolating that to national politics.

You haven’t supported any of your divisive nonsense with anything more than your say-so.
