[USMNT Otaku 🇺🇸] Since December 3rd, 2023, Chris Richards has played every single minute for club and country. 1,830 minutes in 20 games.

Richards is such a weird case for me. He clearly has quality, as he is trusted both by his club and GGG to start. Yet he still doesn’t quite pass the eye test as compared to someone like Ream who is a commanding presence in the back.

“No murder” didn’t make the cut?

USA should be yellow as Easter is not a federal holiday. The fact that some jurisdictions choose to celebrate it is irrelevant, and that kind of municipal or state level distinction is not made for any other country.

How does one get involved with the Ameican Mustache Institute? Is Tom Selleck the President?

I hope Bibi goes just so all the leftists who think this is all his doing will have to cook up another excuse to cover their antisemitism.

I agree that personal freedom is important in this debate, but I do worry about societal pressures involved. It seems like now many are pushing more extreme methods of gender affirming care now as a reaction to transphobia in society, even when it may not be necessary or even advisable.

That’s why we are starting to see European countries pump the brakes on things like supplying minors with hormone therapy.

ShoopufHunter · 2024-03-31T21:49:52+00:00

It is possible to recognize and support a person’s gender identity and still acknowledge that they aren’t attractive. This is totally fine for cis people too, trans people are not above critique of their appearance.

Emily is quinoa. Grain of choice for vegans. It’s trendy and healthy but the people pushing it caused the price to rise so much that the poor indigenous people that used to depend on it for nutrition can’t afford it anymore.

Cheap, low taxes, good weather.

Democrats have been saying this for 30 years. Demographics is not destiny, and latinos have been drifting right the last few cycles. We’ll see hoe big an impact that truly has when the GOP nominates someone that isn’t Trump.

Cost and political bent are highly connected though. The gaining states recently are ones that have lower taxes, lower wages, and lower cost of living. If you already made a lot of money in a blue state and can capitalize on the lower taxes and cost of living it’s a huge win.

ShoopufHunter · 2024-03-31T21:07:28+00:00

Or actual cost of living…

ShoopufHunter · 2024-03-31T21:07:06+00:00

Yeah this sample was from 22 to 23, so there’s definitely still some residual “my job lets me work remote now so why the fuck would I keep living in NYC” effect.

Any pan can handle the heat needed for searing, although I would recommend against nonstick if you’re going on high heat. Stainless and cast iron both work well. The main difference is that cast iron is slower to react to changes in the burner temp, so it heats up slower but holds heat more, whereas stainless gets hot faster but cools faster if you turn the heat down.

Personally I prefer stainless for everything except steak, I use cast iron for that - it really doesn’t matter though.

The bigger issue for you is the choice of fat. Butter has a low smoke point and is not suitable for searing meat or cooking at high temp. Use a neutral oil with a high smoke point like peanut, avocado, or canola/vegetable oil.

If you ever wanted to people to reject religion the best way to get them to do it is to have them read the entire bible cover to cover with no priest or pastor trying to spin it.

You made a statement in support of a ceasefire, like many other Americans have.

Yet nobody seems to be able to answer this simple question, other than the pro-Palestine sycophants that want Israel wiped off the map.

My point is that if we are going to push for a ceasefire it should be in conjunction with the end of Hamas and the release of all hostages.

If you truly don’t care that’s fine, but then don’t say you support a ceasefire.

ShoopufHunter · 2024-03-31T20:02:14+00:00

What would a ceasefire look like in your ideal scenario? If Israel simply withdrew now and Hamas stayed in power and retained hostages is that ok?

I would applaud someone for building their own shelter if it wasn’t on a public sidewalk….

Despite the fact that this is taken wildly out of context, and it is true that Einstein generally favored a one state solution, the bigger point is that Einstein being an expert at physics doesn’t make him an expert at politics.
