French press is basically the same work as a drip machine, but a different shape. You just heat the water seperately and then pour it and the coffee into the French press, let it sit, press the plunger down, and pour. Actually takes slightly less time than any cheap dropper I’ve used and runs 0 risk of burning the coffee (drip machines like to put heating elements into their bases to keep the pot hot, this can burn the coffee and ruin the flavor, French presses cannot burn coffee because they cannot add heat)

Espresso is finely ground coffee that uses steam pressure to brew (thus why espresso machines are fucking expensive, my mr coffee unit was 80 buck), it’s an involved process (worth learning gif you’ve got 20m to make a cup of coffee every time) but very good if you use beans you like AND you like your coffee flavor strong

Almost 10 years in and my wife is like “I can’t believe you love these so much still”

I don’t understand that comment honestly

There is no such process.

There is, it worked once and failed once in our history

Step 1: Declare independence from the other government

Step 2: don’t lose the war

Step 2 is the hard part, admittedly

Its really unlikely mostly because we’d have to go authoritarian as fuck to get the maga traitors out before they could seriously damage us from within

The Sierra Nevada make a great natural barrier on one side, then the big ass desert to the south, so getting large amounts of anything in once we cut ourselves off would actually be harder than youd think

If we successfully negotiated with Mexico, Canada, or someone to back our asses up we might be able to manage it just off the idea that bombing us to oblivion is a really bad idea for your supply of quite a few crops & your major entertainment for the country as well as the busy ass ports on our shores, and that’s before you consider how much the rest of the world would find such a move incredibly distasteful from a “holy shit what did you just do” aspect

All in all if ANY state can successfully pull it off, it’s California, but it’s not going to happen

You’re right

It’s cute that you think this is some sort of opinion issue. It’s purely fact that what’s been claimed as happening in this thread doesn’t. Yet you keep pretending it does because you desperately want to be right.

the majority

Lol you idiots aren’t even close to the majority on this specific opinion. Most people are capable of grasping basic English.

Enjoy the next election

Whatever you say, fascist! Keep spreading that sweet sweet misinformation

then maybe there is some rationale behind their choice

34 felonies

Rape

Sucking off a microphone days before the election

There is 0 rationale and only delusion behind their choice

Confused why you think “nb” is common though.

Because it is, say it out loud and you get “enby” which is a common spelling of the same thing

Maybe what they are trying to say is that most everyday folks don’t use those terms in any normal conversation

Then say that and not that they’re “impenetrable jargon”, because saying what they said makes you come across as so stupid it’s unbelievable and wraps around to “too obvious”

I’ve never used those terms myself and haven’t heard them in any conversation I can recall outside of the Internet.

Yeah, because they’re not actually all that relevant to normal life, but online it’s far easier and simpler to put them out there so people can properly address you in the anonymous internet. Also being put into games and shit for representation, which is likely included in what the person was whinging about

There you go not listening again

Say something valid, then. I also live in the middle of rural dipshitville so acting like I’m some elite is a swing and a miss

even to the point of saying what people are experiencing isn’t happening

Just keep saying it’s happening without proof, that’ll make it true! Nobody is being called a bigot for not prefacing what they say with their pronouns, people are upset that the option is there at all for people to use because they’re suuuuuper insecure

Why do so many people feel that way?

Grifters in the media telling them lies, pretty simple. Well that and gear of change and normal homophobia

And as I said the method in the comment you replied to is not how you do that

I wouldn’t imagine many employers would be too sympathetic to your arguments.

Duh, they’re butthurt they fucked up, but also who cares if they’re sympathetic?

If your employee can go months doing nothing then you’re a shite boss who’s even worse than that employee, frankly

If you think thats how you do that: you are incredibly wrong

Everyone feels as though the Democrats have stopped listening to them and have been yelling at them for the last 10 years.

Feel all they want, its not true not is what was being discussed actually even happening, but go off

And just the mere fact that you are probably going to have the knee jerk reaction and call me an ignorant bigot is part of the problem.

Pre-defending yourself just shows you know you’re full of it

IIRC a quarter of the Republican ad spending was on that single ad, “The Democrats are for ‘they/them’, Trump is for YOU”. It was that effective.

Ok, tell me how that’s the Dems calling anyone who isn’t straightforward with their pronouns a bigot. Oh, wait, it’s an argument being made by the party of lies? Then why blame the Democrats?

I don’t care much who is right morally

Cool, I’ll mentally keep you with the other people who think that: Trump supporter. Considering your other points I don’t believe you aren’t one, whether you live here or not, you sure as fuck act like one

Idiots thinking that because influencers tell them to feel that way =/= it happening, because it’s not

People are choosing to use those terms and spots for them are being added to things, this isn’t the same as “use them or you’re a bigot” at all and you know it

If you tell Americans outside cosmopolitan cities they must declare themselves publicly as “cis het” or else they’re a bigot

Nothing even close to that is happening and you’d have to be willfully ignorant to pretend otherwise

German’s an easy language, right?

Actually it really is if you speak decent English, about half of our language is basically the same

There’s a cool YouTube video out there with phrases in English, German, and Dutch to show that you can communicate shockingly well between the 3 languages if you’re careful, they’re that similar

It is impenetrable jargon

Lol, what are you, illiterate?

Cisgender and heterosexual are really simple to understand, basically every American learns the second term in science class for fucks sake

And with TRANSgender rights in the media for 10 years now only an idiot wouldn’t be able to at least make a good guess on what CISgender might mean

It was, riffing on Minority Report from 2002

Not them but 9 months into Mint and I’ve had 0 issues with any games or programs that don’t just not work on Linux (fucking anticheat)

Simple, supported, Community that isn’t entirely filled with elitists telling you to use the CLI, good comfortable starting spot
