I agree with you, but I can't recognize that I'm using a fallacy and then let it go undisclosed. I'm that kind of nerd... But yes, burn them out of the community with fire or empathy, whichever strategy works fastest.

Yeah, you're dead on, and believe me, a lot of us know it, and I hope we do fix it. I'm doing as much as I can I guess, and I promise that there are a lot of other people doing what they can, even if its not publicized like the bad stuff. We'll see if it matters in the end.

The president also pardoned a bunch of domestic terrorists, screwed over our farmers, and undermined our energy security and trade domination, not to mention replacing every federal job he could with incompetent buffoons. I hate that old white guy.

I understand the sentiment (believe me, we agree more on the democrats than we disagree), but unless you've got some guns you're gonna go shoot in DC that's probably not gonna be how it happens.

Otherwise, we cannot get new parties (with legit political power on a federal level) without serious election reform, reform that will only happen from within the current party structure. So while we need new parties in the long run, we've got some work to do for which we are going to have to work with Democrats.

How do you propose they do that? Keep in mind that your proposal must not give up more power to Republicans.

In this case by cup it probably actually refers to a pint glass of water (two measuring cups), but in any case not an exact measurement, so it doesn't make sense to give exact measurements. Its describing the vessels of transportation, not the amounts.

There's nerd and then there's Thanos grindset nerd. I do not acknowledge the latter as being a true subset of the former.

Edit: It was bothering me so I have to point out that I'm making a No True Scotsman Fallacy here. This does not change my statement.

I understand cynicism, but not cynicism without nuance.

Go India! I hope to see more of this.

Ok, but also, unless you've got time travel, talking about when we needed to start doesn't help anyone. Talking about what we need to do now, maybe.

Insignificant, but cool. I didn't know about the anti-greenwashing legislation they mentioned until now, that's probably more significant.

Yeah, I agree here, they do supply all the data and methodology (though obviously some of it is paywalled) and I see how the way they presented it is probably the best for the LCD consumer, but I would have liked a decent concise summary of just the sustainability data.

Two weeks ago I bought a gallon of pickles, because I thought: Oh, that'll last me a while and its only $7 and I can use the jar for something after. It did not last me a while, but I can still use the jar IG. The only remaining decision is what for? My thought is to store beans in it (so that the beans don't have to be stored up high to be away from mice and so I can do a custom blend more easily, and then if I got a second gallon jar (of pickles or otherwise) I could use that as a dedicated bean soaking vessel, which would make it easier to remember to get beans soaking) or use it for making/storing lemonade (tight sealing lid makes the mixing easier, I can just shake it.) But I wasn't just going to commit to something without asking for recommendations.

Before you ask, no, there's no chance I'll use it for making pickles, I would never want to make that many at a time (though I definitely will get a smaller pickle jar for making fridge pickled onions).

Also, new here, how do yáll normally capture posts longer than a full screen, cause chopping them up into multiple screenshots looks bad to me.
