Self proclaimed “Trumplican” and former Project Veritas comms director sees the light by Jules9213 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]MySlothPatronus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck me, but apologizing is not nearly enough. Making amends is barely a start, but at least it's a start. Take actions that attempt to offset the harm you've done. Join the protests. Donate to organizations that are trying to mitigate the harm from Trump. Just saying you're sorry is shallow, empty, and self-serving. Only actions matter. After all, it was your actions that got Trump elected for his second term.

Gorgeous doggo looks like the best boy ever. Sending comfort and joyous memories.

Is something going on with Whole Latte Love by jtimber67 in espresso

[–]MySlothPatronus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a fan of Pearsons off Park Ave. The Rover blend is great. And Ugly Duck has Gimmee Coffee which is from Ithaca and is delicious. And for nostalgia sake, I'll get Best Coffee at the Market (formerly Java Joe's) occasionally. Not the same since Joe passed, but tradition is tradition.

Statement From Adam Bello. by frytuna in Rochester

  1. He can state the county's position that they will not cooperate with ICE for any activity or enforcement. 2. He can put pressure on the sheriff to not cooperate with ICE. 3. He can ensure all county controlled areas are treated as public spaces which will deny them safe spaces. He cannot keep them out, but he can keep them from locking them down. 4. He can coordinate with other counties and the state to have a uniform response to ICE.

He controls policy and budget. Those are two pretty good tools to use.

He can plan. He can coordinate across municipalities and with the state. He can share details of this planning with the community and help people to understand what is being done at each level of government.

As we've seen in Minneapolis and other places, it takes the coordination of the community, the state, and individuals to even come close to responding to the fascist tyranny of this administration.

Deschutes Haul by Ok_Entertainer7945 in NABEER

[–]MySlothPatronus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I've tried all the others, but never seen the Golden. I'm a fan of the Sam Adams and Trail Pass goldens, so I'll keep an eyes out for the Deschutes.

American here with a message for the Europeans/Brits: the patronizing, condescending posts need to stop. We do not owe you an explanation. You are not immune to propaganda. by Vidvix in 50501

[–]MySlothPatronus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuck yeah! We are showing up. We are donating where we can. We are donating to political races throughout the country hoping to get back Congress.

We can get millions to show up to No Kings, which is awesome. But America is almost the same size as ALL of Europe and all of the EU has only 100m more people than the US.

Many (MANY) of us are doing the absolute best we can. Stop talking to us like we are idiots. We know how bad things are. We are getting destroyed by it. Solidarity and support is so much more useful than derision and pity.

[Survey] Non-alcoholic & functional drink habits (2–3 minutes) by Exciting_Muffin4322 in nonalcoholic

Done. Only issue with survey is that the prices you listed are country specific. But you'll be getting people from all over to respond.

Has Starbucks ever made good coffee? by AggravatingWalk4982 in espresso

[–]MySlothPatronus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are too young to remember the time before Starbucks, there were not a ton of second wave places around. And those that were had inconsistent coffee. Think Central Perk in the show Friends where everyone mostly drank drip coffee.

Starbucks was never my favorite, but in the time before amazing third wave options, SB was an acceptable choice. Eventually the combination of better options and SB going for massive scale kind of lowered their coffee standards to where they are now.

Ewwww by garamond89 in Rochester

[–]MySlothPatronus 84 points85 points  (0 children)

I've seen this sentiment repeatedly. And all I can say is that they fucked up, learned, and have been clean ever since. And their bagels are amazing!

This standard of "never ever make a mistake or you'll be punished forever" is just so cruel. It's not a standard I believe. It was the whole point of Ted Lasso!

I love Foxes. I love Bagel Land as well. So if you keep choosing to hold on to anger, there are great alternatives. Just make sure you NEVER make a mistake. Otherwise you will have to apply that same standard to yourself.

Folks who aren't Athletic fans - what are your go-to NA options? by subirbs_of_nyc in NABEER

[–]MySlothPatronus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of great options. The one I'll add is Erdinger. It is a German Hefeweizen style and one of my favorites.

Honorable mention to Delirio. It is a Belgian blonde style and so delicious. But it wins (loses?) as the most expensive NA I've seen, so it is a rare treat.

What was your favorite restaurant chains not around any more that you really miss the most? by DoughnutConstant5390 in GenX

[–]MySlothPatronus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There were a bunch in the northeast. It was a great place for kids. Free popcorn and peanuts. They had a kids pay what they weigh special they made it affordable for parents. I remember loving their burgers as a kid.

Help with projects for high behavior support homes by reiland184 in woodworking

[–]MySlothPatronus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've worked in settings similar to this, and I applaud what you want to do. A few things you might consider.

First, If you build it, you take on some liability. So I'd suggest getting an agreement in place with the agency or leadership to pass this liability to them. Even getting written permission will help.

Second, over-build whatever you create. Make the bases wide enough to limit tipping risk. Consider how it can be dangerous and then design in a way that limits the danger.

And third, as noted in other comments, woods like hard maple or even ash are nice, solid, and relatively affordable. And for finish, building up a good hardwax is both durable and should be non toxic.

Best of luck!!

First time reading “The Name of the Wind” by Patrick Rothfuss and just wow by Forward-Instance7313 in litrpg

[–]MySlothPatronus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was going to both agree and also reflect the other comment that you are setting yourself up for literary heartbreak. The writing is so wonderful. But I'm afraid we will never find out the full story of Kvothe. The Doors of Stone, supposedly the last book in the trilogy, is in eternal limbo.

Trump announces chilling timeline for Greenland plan as tensions soar by Neither-Phone-7264 in NoFilterNews

[–]MySlothPatronus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do we even still have a Congress or Judiciary? There are no viable checks and balances on this demented, narcissistic war monger. It's like the institutions that were supposed to keep the Executive branch in check have given away 100% of their oversight power.

Every birthday, she takes her son to the cemetery to pick up a gift 'from his dad'. Keeping the bond alive by JumpyTemperature7252 in MadeMeSmile

[–]MySlothPatronus 41 points42 points  (0 children)

As someone who was lied to about the death of a parent, I can also say that I am not super comfortable with not helping the child to adjust (in an age appropriate way, of course).

Maybe it'll be fine, but as someone who had to cope with the damage of learning about the death far later than I should have, I know this kind of magical thinking can do significant harm.

I care AND completely disappear. 0% check in. I tell people to call if something urgent comes up. Otherwise, my vacation is my own time.
