I'm in! I'm setting my alarm! I hope you can help bunnies, they seem like a decent, if a little arrogant, person.

and the band plays megalovania
and the old folks still answer the call
but year after year, their numbers get fewer
some day no one will march there at all

the lemmy/kbin split makes me want to go back to school, become a sociologist, and write a thesis about how design can shape communities

Yes, I enjoy the lack of friction when writing, feels like my hand can be much more relaxed. I also like the endless-refilling-with-barely-any-waste aspect.

When the pixel coating process is done they give the screen a good shake, and any excess pixels get mixed back in and used in the next batch.

Cowboy Bike 3 really fails to capture the spirit of the original Cowboy Bike games; you should check out Cowboy Bike: New Vegas instead.

We hired a data science consultant firm at my job and one of the citations in the final report was a twitter thread. The bar is not that high.

I don't actually think those two things were connected, but how's that for bad timing?

I very much sympathize and agree with your point about how the USA, given its history in global conflicts, should tread very carefully in this situation. On the other hand, I kinda feel like "really? of all the conflicts you've been involved in since WWII, this is when you've suddenly decided to grow a conscience???" (and when I say 'you' here, I mean a very vague gestures in the general direction of the USA, I know that american socialists have been opposed to all these illegitimate wars.)

But I don't really buy the overall narrative here. Looking at a source of the GDP of Ukraine that I found, the only dips are after the financial crisis, and after being invaded by Russia the first time. When did this supposed economic downturn due to NATO influence start? And if Ukraine has been selling out their economy for the hope of a NATO membership, why is no one coming to its aid? Seems like a bad precedence to set if the USA is indeed pressuring countries to join.

It seems to me like american socialists are so entrenched in the idea that american imperialism is to blame in global conflicts that it has become a self-evident truth, no further analysis needed. And any war that Russia starts is obviously a proxy war against the USA. I don't think this is the case anymore, and I think that the failure to recognize this, and incorporate it in their analysis, is what makes the DSA's response so lacklustre. (On the other hand, I don't know anything and no one should listen to me.)

Agreed, it's bad. Take for instance the point about non-NATO European countries being pressured into joining. Like, we're not being pressured by the evil ghost of American imperialism, we're just finding out that apparently no one will help you when you get invaded if you're not part of NATO, because that will start WW3. And when it happens, socialists will write articles about how great solidarity is (in the abstract, of course), while actively advocating against sending you guns to defend yourself.

Have you considered getting pourover equipment with higher capacity? French press coffee is always going to be inferior to well made pourover imho, and while moka tastes amazing as a small shot I have my doubts about diluting it.
