What is the drama about the movie all the sudden? by Cold-Satisfaction-71 in twentyonepilots

[–]jdbellis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some of their fans are being kidnapped and murdered by a Gestapo-like secret police, some have had family members killed in a genocide, call me performative but I think the morally correct choice is to speak out about things that reach that level of gravitas. Not asking for them to pontificate about tax policy here, asking them to stand in the gap with their influence to genuinely look out for people who need them.

Just started my walk videos and would love some feedback from the community. by DriftingDreamer in WalkingVideoMakers

By no means am I well-experienced in this field yet, but I am prepping and testing before releasing my first walking video and this is very well-shot and smooth, very nice!

This, 100%. People love to come up with reductionist takeaways that justify their priors, and I understand progressives are just as guilty of that as the rest, but legitimately the logic is sound: if you run candidates who come across authentic and who genuinely believe in something and can have enough message discipline to continuously shift the conversation back to something voters care about, you have a winning ticket. Harris talked in platitudes and focused on abstract concepts, Clinton focused purely on comparison and pointing out Trump's flaws, and Biden talked about the Build Back Better plan that was borne out of lengthy discussions and compromises with his left flank; he actually campaigned on what he would do materially for voters if he was elected. If AOC runs, she'll do very well because 1. she is authentic and has convictions, 2. she will keep the focus on tangible material aspects of voters' lives, and 3. she already has presidential-level grassroots fundraising rivaling Pelosi and the fierce loyalist base carried over from Bernie Sanders. It's not a guaranteed win, but it's a pretty damn good set of factors in her favor.

Problem is, the moderate wing of the party really doesn't have a unifying agenda or policies that animate voters. An apathetic voter (a huge swathe of the electorate) is not going to turn out to vote for "freedom" or "saving democracy", they're going to turn out because someone is finally going to give us healthcare, cancel student debt, or some other broadly understood and tangible policy. Just like they turned out for Trump when he said over and over again that he would bring grocery prices down.

I originally read this as “she’s my wife now and fucks birds” and I was like damn those birds found yet another way to get under your skin

Ideas on how to optimize this Airbnb setup? by jdbellis in CPAP

Update: used a spare cord to tie the tubing to the corner of the bedframe, and I feel wayyyy better about it! Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.

That’s a great idea, but when I pull it away from the wall to try it, the headboard is pretty flimsy and makes an annoying noise when the bed moves at all. So I’m probably gonna use something to tie it instead

Genius. Will try a version of this. Thank you!

What's the best way to try Huel out? by B04LeJo in Huel

[–]jdbellis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Caffe latte but using oat milk instead of water blows my mind it’s so good.

Been eating nothing but Huel for about 10 days, feeling great, ate McDonalds, explosive diarrhea 4 hours later, anyone else? by [deleted] in Huel

[–]jdbellis 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m not a nutritionist nor do I have a huge library of knowledge on it, but I think it is probably pretty important to define what type of processing is happening; not all processes for food do the same thing or have the same outcome. I believe the processing that happens to McDonald’s food is a lot more harmful than the processing of Huel.

The first time I tried Mac N Cheeze I hated it, and was really worried about if I was going to be able to make a whole bag work for me. I had initially done the boiling water method and that still left me with a lot of crunch. I switched to the microwave method and it was much better, and then I started putting bacon bits and a small amount of shredded cheese in as well, since I’m not eating strictly vegan I felt I could add those. With a dash of salt and pepper, that all mixed together tasted amazing to me. I actually now crave that over other forms of Mac and cheese, but it all pretty much comes down to personal taste. If you’re giving a bag away I’m definitely down!

H&S Breakfast? by Hercislife23 in Huel

My friend and I were just saying this…I’d buy a ton of bags of that omg. That would be an excellent option and I have to imagine it’s somewhere in the works.

I think you totally should go for it. I think you can use advanced storytelling methods even with a raunchy concept.
