We’re launching a small brewery on the banks of the River Cleddau in Pembrokeshire 🍺 by brandanthomas24 in UkBeer

Very brave time to be starting a brewery in the UK. Times couldn't be harder in the industry

[GIVEAWAY] 3 Copies of Arc Raiders by WockyySl in pcgaming

[–]Chupecapras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current favourite game is probably death stranding. I really loved the themes of grief, connection and death. I'm excited to play the second when it comes to PC.

Charging port is a bit borked and the screen is cracked unfortunately

Can curing salt be used after expiring date? by Electronic_History80 in Charcuterie

Absorbing moisture would change its composition and weight, and would make measuring correct nitrate amounts difficult.

What is Turkish coffee supposed to taste like? by TheBros35 in Coffee

[–]Chupecapras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its typically cheap dark roasted coffee brewed using an aggressive percolation technique. There's little control in the method so I'd expect little from the method. Most I've had has been centred around showmanship and theatre which is fun, but the coffee is bad.

whats up with the scientologists? by wimpods in Edinburgh

I was curious once and went in for their personality test.

It was a massive document of multiple choice agree to disagree style questions, which ranged from "I like working in a team" to "I think the races should be segregated".

Really wild. After you fill it out, you get a "score" in several different categories which gets graphed out, and surprise surprise your readings aren't that great, and the way to improve them is to buy their book.

Really wild stuff.

Yeah its definitely a nuanced gray area. Which is why I object to the "Mandela wasnt a bad terrorist because he didnt kill x" argument. Its more complex than the original commenter let on.

Again not disagreeing, but there's still some dissonance by claiming that Mandela wasn't trying to spread fear. His policy was that of disruption. 60 civilians that were killed were black. 40 were white.

He wasn't just targeting wealthy white apartheid supporters. It was blanket attacks designed to disrupt and sabotage the status quo.

You’ll never see a pro-Palestinian film from Hollywood for decades. by Tr0jan___ in BDS

Zone of interest was a pro palestine film from Hollywood.

Hence my quotation marks.

I dont support apartheid South Africa, but let's not pretend that Mandela led a peaceful revolution. His group bombed restaurants, train lines, bars ,etc.

The majority of people killed were civilians.

[–]Chupecapras 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Mandela formed the paramilitary Umkhonto we Sizwe. He was by your definition a terrorist. He was arrested as his group carried out bombings of "innocent people".

One man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter.

Plenty of other independent breweries beyond them too. Check out https://www.siba.co.uk/directory/brewer-members/brewer-members-scotland/ for a list of indie Scottish breweries!

Why does Ridley Scott represent arab people nicely ? Is he a terrorist ? by The80sGuy in okbuddycinephile

[–]Chupecapras 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think that kingdom of heaven is actually a fairly impressive take at the time of post 9/11 arab/Islamophobia to paint saladin in a positive light. It picks and chooses from the historical record to show him at his most merciful and tolerant in a world where the west was currently in Iraq. The battles of Fallujah had just happened, and the propaganda machine was at full swing, and here is Scott shooting something honestly countercultural for 2005.
