Thanks!

Panasonic, Genius Prestige.

That’s actually super cool! (Admittedly, one of my favourite youtube channels is practical engineering so I am not an authority on actual coolness.)

Honestly, carefully looking on marketplace, being willing to travel to the bougie end of town got me a high end microwave for cheapish and I’m never ever going back.

Sensor reheat, just heats my damn food. Frozen food setting, hell yeah, all thawed perfectly.

The rich live better and I’m fine enjoying their leavings.

I can’t speak for OP but personally, I want to help as many small lil communities as I can as I think that’s the best way to expand.

A) Thanks for trying, every bit helps! And hey, even if you can’t buy Canadian, not buying American is pretty helpful!

B) there’s a community set up for all these questions and recommendations etc:

In what way was your response meaningfully different from your original comment?

Are you an llm? Most humans, instead of restating what they’ve already said, actually read the comment to which they are replying.

Wait, this seems silly. You are in effect saying that it’s wrong to blame those who stayed home because some of them would have voted for trump? Like, we’d still blame those people too had they actually voted trumo.

The blame isn’t just because you voted for trump it is because you didn’t try to stop him, which applies both to those who voted for him and those who didn’t vote.

There’s some great stuff in there, I can’t wait to introduce my buddy to Fubar.

Also been curious about My Shiva Year, Men w Brooms, Incendies and Akilla’s escape.

If you haven’t seen it, Blackberry is a fun one. Room is, well, not fun but quite good.

Physically, most of us are way weaker and in worse physical shape. (Look at old time photos for far people, or sideshow people labelled as “world’s fattest man” who would not raise an eyebrow lumbering through walmart these days.) I wonder how the balance of more manual work vs our sedentary and fatty lifestyles would play out.

I also think folks were more ready to die or get hurt as that’s just how things happened, so probably more willing to be beaten as part of a strike etc.

I have no idea what point you’re trying to make other than, I dunno, some crazy shit like everyone who disagrees with you is a Zionist or something?

But I stand by that post, if you voted for a third party, you helped trump. If you’re trying to wrap your stupidity around the plight of the Palestineans you either aren’t following the news or never really cared about them in the first place.

I get that this is probably the first humanitarian crisis you’ve seen on social media and pretended to care about but as you grow up, hopefully you’ll realize there are sometimes unfortunate restrictions around your choices. While I would have loved a better option than the Dems, the choice was them or trump. If you voted third party, you helped put an administration that is absolutely hostile to them and worse than what would’ve been the case otherwise.

Sorry if reality sucks but whining about it like a petulant child isn’t going to change it or rally others to your cause.

Ahahaha, “As long as you’re respectful one can disagree.” And a paragraph later “hey, this guy pointed out trump would be worse for Palestineans that means he is down with genoicde!!!”

Could you prove my point much harder?

I think on the Left we have a “virtuous” cycle/feedback loop that results in increasingly outlandish positions.

Essentially, for most people there’s a serotonin feedback when people upvote, applaud, reteeet etc. People, responding to incentives like anyone else shift their online discourse to match.

Similarly, even beyond the positive feedback, on thr Left no one wants to be a white cis male contradicting the feelings, emotions or arguments of a POC or LGBTQ+ person.

The Right doesn’t really have this problem as the Far right opinions are generally understood to be reprehensible to most people so those movements have evolved to work on dog whistles etc.

It’s a structural issue but one that puts us out of touch with the mainstream (consider defund the police, transgender athletes or immigration until we were getting murdered in the polls and it was too late to do anything.)

Anytime, just passing on the goodness another good person shared with me!

Thanks!

The easiest one was switching my phone and computer’s browsers default search engines from google to Duckduckgo. It was so easy even my elderly parents managed it.

Google, one of the magnificent 7, earns much of its profits through search, an estimated $300 per person per year…

Also swapped out Tidal for Quboz. Both of those are an easy half grand ish out of America, and that’s before getting into foods and every other app I’ve switched.

Ha, in retrospect I should’ve looked around earlier too!

Thanks for sharing, much appreciated.

Thank fuck social media wasn’t around when I was a weird 10 year old.

I just think of literally all available evidence points one way, it’s pretty silly to argue every piece is incorrect.

You remind me of people defending Cosby et al with “well, sure but they could ALL be lying.” Like, it’s conceivably possible but seems extremely unlikely.

Cheers.
