Glad I could brighten your day in these dark times

You’re gonna have to explain that one too

I feel like you might like James Hoffman, a coffee YouTube creator. His baseline attitude is much the same as yours - if you start with good tasting water and good, freshly roasted beans, you’ll likely end up with good tasting coffee. He also delves into the nitty gritty, doing a lot of cool experimentation with different techniques and data-driven stuff, but he usually does a good job of stressing that all those minute details end up making very small differences in the resulting cup.

Of course Starbucks roasts dark in part because they’re cheap, but it’s mostly to ensure the flavor is consistent across all their thousands of stores. Roast any bean to the level Starbucks roasts it, and it doesn’t matter what the origin, fermentation method, species, or terroir was, they all come out tasting the same. Granted, most people aren’t going to enjoy that taste by itself, but that’s sort of beside the point. Starbucks coffee isn’t really intended to be enjoyed straight, it’s supposed to be made into milk drinks where the dairy, syrups, and toppings provide most of the flavor, and for that use case, it’s adequate.

I can’t drink coffee anywhere else anymore

That’s an absolute shame, because there’s tons and tons of cool coffee shops absolutely all over the place doing really cool, interesting, imaginative, and downright tasty things with coffee that you’re missing out on.

Nah what’s actually lazy is people sitting in positions of privilege with the power to help, but instead all they do is sling mud and beat people down. It’s hard enough for Americans to fight back as it is. Adding your inflammatory bullshit to the pile is just making it worse.

No, please explain exactly what you mean by deterrence, educate me

I’ve gone most years since like 2020, and 2024 was the only year it was super muddy

Saw these guys at Louder than Life in 2024. It was muddy as fuck because it basically monsooned the day before, and was still drizzling on and off that day. I was soaked to the bone, covered in mud up to my thighs, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Definitely one of the funnest, most high energy performances of the whole weekend.

Hol up, I thought we were talking about moving to a whole ass new continent for some really good foreign dick, not because of hitting a glass ceiling lmao

So you recognize that the situation you described is an exceptional case, and not one to recommend making radical life changes over?

Imagine making a radical life change based on a week-long vacation

what would the chances be that the US has control over of Russia-based bot net?

I would be highly surprised if we didn’t. I’d be surprised if any nation with any kind of serious cyber presence didn’t have resources like that in adversarial spaces.

What do you mean by “changing the layout”, going from QWERTY to Dvorak, or something like switching between English and Chinese glyphs? Both are possible at least in software. Technically you can move around/replace keycaps to match your layout too, but obviously that would be super inconvenient to do regularly

You cannot be serious

What a weird thing to worry about in a world where some of the most recognizable products have silly, unserious names like Google and Twitter, and where the slogan for one of the most popular media players of all time is “it really whips the llama’s ass”

You insulted my intelligence (“can’t build you a logic bridge big enough blah blah blah”) and then hit me with the ol “nuh uh, you’re wrong I’m right” argument, so I’m forced to believe I’m talking with a child. Go to bed son, you’ve got school in the morning.

Gimp. A word used to refer to someone with a lower extremity injury or deformity, or a synonym for the word “hobble”

Hey you fucking acorn, wanna take a break from insulting me and putting words in my mouth to point out where I said that the only people suitable for law enforcement are pieces of shit?

My point, for the third (3rd) time, is that having Harry be interested in being a cop is out of character and poor writing because of Harry’s traits and background
