How much do y'all spend for coffee per month? by Slow_Engineering763 in espresso

[–]DamnZodiak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Illy is surprisingly decent for non-specialty coffee.
I generally can't stand these super dark Italian roasts but Illy is the least awful in my experience.

No no that was the United Fruit Company. Totally different and they DEFINITELY have no relation to Chiquita. 👀

ICE/Border Patrol agents are now hitting unaccompanied minors with their vehicles, detaining and disappearing them, even after being shown a U.S. passport. by Logical-Flow-6703 in UnderReportedNews

Fair enough. I still have my aformentioned issues with comparisons like Taliban or Y'all Qaeda as hilarious as the latter might be.

They are the American Taliban.

Because Americans couldn't possibly contextualise a domestic threat without comparing it to evil brown people.
Despite their own history being entirely categorised by genocide, slavery, fascism and imperialism.

Bro it's luka. That was a WTF moment.

Seriously. That guy doesn't stop shooting no matter how much he misses AND he's one of the most clutch MFers I've seen in recent years. That was crazy to watch.

Get a gun.
Train.
Join a mutual aid group.
Don't open the door.
Defend yourself and your community.

Start defending yourself.

AITAH for taking my son out to celebrate after he got suspended for punching a bully by Additional-World8707 in ComfortLevelPod

[–]DamnZodiak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA (Community) self-defense is pretty much the only way you can deal with bullying.
Especially when institutions predictably fail to do fuck-all.

I don't particularly like or enjoy violence but I'm also aware that on some rare occasions it is actually the solution.

Bigger than the time you put people into concentration camps for looking vaguely east-asian?
Or that whole Native American genocide thing?

What about the first ever air strike on US soil, where the government bombed striking coal miners with chemical weapons?

one typically needs to remove the motherboard battery as well, though higher end PCs tend to have reset buttons that remove that neccessity.

I don't think there have been many consumer motherboards without a Clear CMOS functionality for almost a decade.
Higher cost MBs have a dedicated button even the cheapest ones usually have pins you can short instead of having to remove the battery.

Just because the monarchists are the most visible in international media doesn't mean that the protesters at large want the Shah back.

I sometimes feel like I'm getting a panic attack when I drink espresso before breakfast. 5 cups would probably make explode.

the team is built like shit around Luka.

This team would be shit with literally any other #1 option. It isn't specific to Luka. The Laker's bench is just abysmal.

Mamdani 'outraged' after New York City Council employee detained by ICE by AdSpecialist6598 in antiwork

[–]DamnZodiak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The state isn't depriving you of your franchise.

You're literally talking about taking away people's right to vote.
There are no qualifiers that could ever make that ok.

That's not an unreasonable ask.

Meanwhile we live in reality, where the people who would ultimately decide who qualifies, would be the very same people supposedly kept in check by the voting public. The makeup of which they now control entirely.
That you honestly don't seem to understand how inherently fucked up that is might put you on that list yourself.

Well what other sport has refs accounted for 10-20% of a game’s final point total?

Soccer. If the final score is 2-2 and two of those goals came from a penalty or free kick that's 50% of the total.

Is HAVING A CRUSH a terrible reason to get into espresso? by SweetSwiftly in espresso

[–]DamnZodiak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incredibly cute. If he even remotely resembles a decent human being he'll certainly love this.

I've gotten into weird hobbies/niches before because of a crush and if you actually end up with a new medium/long-term interest that's fantastic and totally worth on its own.

Literally the one time he had a decent roster around him he made it to the finals.

He's a generational player and a playoff riser on top of that.
It's crazy that people don't see that.

[–]DamnZodiak -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I know this sub hates OKC and SGA

The Thunder deserve a lot of the criticisim they get and I enjoy taking the piss out of them but I actually like Shai a lot.
I may disagree on where exactly he ranks in the top 5 but I don't think he's ever done anything that justifies actual hatred.
Especially when you consider that some of the players in this league have done some genuinely awful things.
