I know of at least two people who have had it happen to that are perfectly normal as a result of road ragers due to “cutting them off” or honking. Nearly been in a similar situation myself I suspect had I not made an illegal u turn and sped off. Car brain in the South is something

Yeah taking a quick look at the calendar to see when the 26th was did not inspire confidence

Would acetone work any better?

You think they even know what an ad blocker is? They struggled to understand ads themselves during those zucc hearings

Yeah the Oct 7 coverage with admissions by IOF about choppers, tanks, and “Mass Hannibal” have ended a few arguments

Gotcha! They’ve been a great source for me the past few months. Iirc all the hosts have lived in Palestine for at least a few years of their lives and regularly have Palestinians on the live stream. The majority of their contributors are also Palestinians

Why only critical support for EI? They’ve been great as far as I can tell

And look at that, how convenient, the store is collecting on behalf of the charity from customers. How nice of them to get someone else to fund their tax write offs. Fucking hate that that is a thing

Yeah I ended up reading some after posting and was surprised about how split / understanding the commenters were

Collapse thread had the gifted article a couple days ago before it got nuked for “inciting violence”

I’m sure those comments will do the same for you, good luck

Yeah, it’s nothing like the movie. Pretty quick read covering the necessity for sabotage and questioning why it hasn’t happened yet with a good bit of historical references

His PhD work, Fossil Capital, is free on Audible. It’s not too difficult to follow on audio format if that’s your thing.

Covers a lot of ground on environment, workers rights, and capitalism in the realm of transitioning to steam power from water wheels.

I’d definitely recommend it

No argument from me there, I’ll go at it with them to pull out all the arguments I might hear from people I know in the real world then just stop. I’m under no illusion the people I’m engaging with will come around haha

Yeah it’s a bad habit I’m hoping to kick once I’ve gotten over this bout of COVID. For all I said, it doesn’t really change any irl minds more than just shutting them up. Plenty of more productive things I could be doing with that time

I was about to post same sentiment. Lemmyverse is small to begin with. There are plenty of other areas for people to begin the pipeline like or

What other space exists for this type of community? I was engaging with some comrades in r/Collapse on a recent post until it got nuked for ‘inciting violence’ because it was a NYT article interviewing Andreas Malm about his positions on property destruction. There’s no other online place for us if we always stoop to not scaring away libs where it’s dubious if they’ll ever come around

I think reading Blackshirts and Reds by Michael Parenti would be helpful. He doesn’t make excuses and acknowledges the racism in the USSR. I think laying bare the actual shortcomings of the project places it in reality instead of the cartoonish evil depicted by mainstream Western history. It allows for a clearer understanding of the good alongside the bad and shows where we can improve in the next iteration of a socialist project

We’re all human and need to see where we can do better, and despite the issues of past socialist experiments, it seems to many here that this form of government is the most likely way for humanity to do the most good for all

As if these same people don’t post elsewhere about rejecting certain societal norms or embracing their own peculiarities to feel themselves.

Anyone posting such drivel should be ashamed.

Oh look, a bad take from a programming.dev poster

Hello fellow 100+ tab king, who needs bookmarks

15 minutes isn’t caramelizing them though, it’s browning them. It’s the same reason you can’t cook a cake at 450° for a shorter time when directions are 350°

You might bring them to the same end temperature, but there are reactions occurring which take time in both examples that higher heat will not make happen faster.

A French onion soup with 15 minute caramelized onions would not be good
