You can be critical of candidates you support. Biden's only use is being not Donald. He's not doing anything any other centrist dem would be doing in his shoes, and doing a whole lot less than a progressive. People see this. Biden is not an inspiring figure promising to produce a better future, he's a generic placeholder, representing status quo in a dismal system. People aren't energized to vote for this and that's understandable. Pretending this isn't an issue or isn't costing his campaign votes only hurts the party. Vote for Biden, but demand better from the DNC. You can do both.

You cannot be on the left and not find fault with Biden. If so, you're either a neoliberal or you're fooling yourself.

You cannot be on the left in the US and not vote for Biden. Sometimes status quo is the better than the only other outcome.

These aren't mutually exclusive, they are a sign you have a working brain and heart.

The dystopian novel vibes.

Many of these folks are still going to hold their nose and vote for Biden. A lot of these takes are valid criticisms without necessarily meaning they aren't voting for him. Hating every candidate and voting for one anyway is a long standing tradition here in Canada.

Italy too!

It's more than acceptance, its saying its the little imperfections that make something even more endearing than if they were perfect. A bit of wabi-sabi gives character, or makes things feel less sterile, or more natural. Perfection can be less pleasant than imperfection. Not always, I want my airplane engines made perfectly. But something like handmade clay plates and bowls with wabi-sabi are great.

Huh, it's got some similarities to the Persian flaw, thinking about it. The intentional inclusion of an error in Persian rugs as perfection is for God alone. Imperfection is human.

Strange women in unimatrices distributing nanoprobes is no system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not some farcical technological indoctrination.

The best thing I ever did TV wise was ignoring fan opinions about shows I want to watch before watching it. Hive minds plant seeds and set expectations, you can't even passively read it. You gotta shut it out and avoid it. I really liked Kenobi, I think more people would have too if they didn't see the angry reddit nerds picking it apart, coloring their first watch.

Yoda: Won, you did? Dead, Anakin is? Thought not, you hypocrite. Don't talk to me again unless you're dead.

What are the bad faith laws in the US like? In my province (BC) here in Canada the courts would publicly flay you for such blatant bad faith coverage. When I worked in insurance we had regular seminars with the lawyers on bad faith; the punitive damages can be (intentionally) ruinous to insurers.

Clickbait ruined: Chop up the florets into little bits and let them sit for 30-90 minutes before cooking.

Damaged bits release the good chemicals over time, cooking removes them. Letting them sit allows more of it to survive the heat.

Without providing an alternative, this infographic (not a meme) is useless to me. For all I know, every other kind of trouser is worse. Without a source for the data, it could all just be lies.

Remember when every billionaire apologist was telling us how no one would do shit like this when net neutrality was being gutted?
