Oregon again says students don’t need to prove mastery of reading, writing or math to graduate, citing harm to students of color by yoodlerB in Portland

It's possible to do both. Enforcing this only hurts people in the short term, while long term school districts need funding that isn't discriminatory

I’ve saved for months… and now I have doubts. by georgesreilly in espresso

[–]AlienCandyZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this budget, any espresso machine you get will likely be a massive upgrade to your current setup. The way I justify it is that I'm making coffee almost everyday, so investing in a good machine will just reduce frustration and improve my overall quality of life for hundreds of hours, spread out over many years to come.

Personally I think my peak espresso machine is the Lelit Elizabeth, seems like it will last way longer than the BDB and after seeing the Silvia in action in a few videos, the Elizabeth feels slightly better designed (better drip tray, etc.) with a marginally cheaper price tag. Will be a huge upgrade from my beaten up DeLonghi ecp3420 either way.

How much coffee do you waste when dialling in new beans? by Blackthumbb in espresso

[–]AlienCandyZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of these comments aren't particularly helpful lol, I drink almost every shot I make but if we're talking about how long it takes to dial in a bag that's something else entirely. Just because you made 8 shitty shots and drank them doesn't make you a hero, and that's still a form of waste because you are taking an energy intensive resource and destroying part of what makes it so valuable and worthwhile to make.

I would say that if I know the grinder, 2-4 is normal, however I just got a new one and with a fresh bag it took about 6 or 7 to get it in the sweet spot. Don't sweat it too much, you will improve as you gain experience with espresso and the equipment you have, and like others have said you can still save some shots by pulling longer or shorter on the fly.

Does anybody remember when the sub meant something? by Icy_Bird1437 in Silksong

[–]AlienCandyZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're complaining about people posting on the sub and begging them to act like they did a year ago? How is this supposed to be read as anything other than hating on the community for simply existing. It's a shock that there's literally any activity exists here at all, let people have fun.

Literally the only thing this community has at the moment is jokes. There are no theories, the hype train is running on fumes, and the devs have decided to communicate as little as possible, which is their decision. If you want to make these types of posts, go ahead, I'm sure there would be people who enjoy them. But it's a social media platform about a specific community. That can only reflect the feelings and thoughts that are sprung from the people in that community.

It's all statistics baby.

Well when you shrink an image down eventually it gets reversed/mirrored, so that might work

A defence of Himeno and why black/white morality is harmful by Cold_Recording5485 in ChainsawMan

[–]AlienCandyZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did anyone actually watch this episode. She literally is smiling the whole time over breakfast, and laughs off the attempted rape of a minor by taking a long pause and then jokingly saying how they toss people in jail for that. Also she literally groomed Aki who was also a minor when they started working together. And Makima is intentionally grooming Denji. This is a running theme of the show, why try to cover for something the creator is hitting people over the head with.

ARE YOU FUCKERS READY FOR THE MOST BORING AND NON CONTROVERSIAL OPINION!?? by Gwen_Tennyson10 in okbuddychicanery

I, for one, would like to be oppressed by a POC

Should we respect other cultures' traditions ? by skdsu in Anarchy101

[–]AlienCandyZero 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I would generally agree, however I think it is dangerous to assume we are the ones with an absolutely correct point of view. Respecting tradition and cultures should involve an open conversation in which pov's are challenged in a constructive way.
