Who said anything about going quietly. Rage, rage.

Don't kill yourself that's just giving them what they want. Existence is resistance.

This is almost definitely legal speak for "we ain't liable"

They don't care if you mod for game, but they're not opening themselves up to get sued if you download a mod and it borks your computer.

Yeah I think people were shopping at Walmart if they were already willing to scrape the bottom of the barrel for low prices and convenience. Target was considered in a lot of groups where to go if you need big box stuff but have a moral quandary with Walmart. I know it was for me, at least. That entire subset of people was already willing to forsake convenience if it meant shopping along with their values. I couldn't like Costco any more than I already did (superfan) so I'm not necessarily going there more or spending more, but I am evangelizing them when I get the chance.

Basically I think the absolute number of people who shop with their values is relatively low, but a lot of them went to Target, and now they're not. I have certainly vastly decreased the amount I'm shopping there and instead looking for local/direct online sources of goods I would get from there or just forgoing stuff entirely.

Ah yes the famously honest and straightforward Trump administration

Tech journalists are used to reporting on people who think their shit tastes like candy just because people are willing to eat it.

Totally agree on this - I have forgiven a lot of shit in my life but the one thing that has truly hurt me is when someone I cared about was offended by my methods of expressing concern to them about their behavior, and they retaliated by trying to get my partner to leave me.

Despite the fact that it was a laughable attempt, the intention to actually hurt me, not just accidental toe-stepping or expression of frustration, is what drew a line for me.

I will forgive unintentional damage followed by remorse, I will forgive outbursts and emotional interaction, but actively trying to hurt someone is the behavior of an adversary.

Haha same, because yellow and orange and two of the common ones. I could see not being aware of white and purple because they are pretty niche and rare.

Um. 2/3 of the bell peppers? There are yellow, orange, purple, and white bell peppers too. Do your bell pepper research. Amateur.

Shoulda been like "we applaud this act of transparency and mainstream media olive branch from Hegseth"

I have a rechargeable trimmer. Like you, I'm never going for that ultra-close shave. I have fairly light/thin facial hair though, so the 5 o'clock shadow looks works well for me.

Same here, the Plex app was super heavy on a lot of my devices and would slow them to a crawl. Jellyfin is lean and runs well even on my slow smart projector. It does everything I need it to and more. I also got sick of Plex trying to shove their content and rentals and streaming services down my throat. Couldn't be happier with Jellyfin.

 

Decided to go with something healthy last night

The falafel is just bulk bin falafel mix, 4 parts mix with 3 parts water, divided into 1oz balls and baked at 450 for 15 minutes.

Here's the inside of the wrap

It's green and red cabbage, carrots, guacamole, and tahini dressing except I used red wine vinegar in place of the lemon juice because I wanted a little more tart.

The seasoning on the veggies (zucchini, carrots, mushrooms) is basically this mix here except I didn't have marjoram, and I added a tsp of citric acid powder. For the tartness. Are you noticing a pattern here.

The caramelized onion hummus I don't even follow a recipe for anymore, I've been making hummus for so long. It was about half a large sweet onion and some garlic caramelized in olive oil for a long time. Two cans of garbanzo beans drained, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup tahini, and 1/4 cup lemon juice, half a Tbsp salt, and a chucka chucka of cumin and smoked paprika (that's what I call it when I just shake the spice jar a couple of times and don't measure. Maybe half a tsp?) blend until smooth but not too smooth, I like it a bit chunky.

 

I think they do a pretty good job of holding his feet to the fire here. I'm not always a fan of the NY Times, but they do ride him pretty hard about his past statements.

As someone who grew up loving Linkin Park, I am hesitantly excited. The single they released is actually pretty good - The Emptiness Machine.

 

A New York appeals court on Monday agreed to hold off collection of former President Donald Trump’s $454 million civil fraud judgment — if he puts up $175 million within 10 days.

If he does, it will stop the clock on collection and prevent the state from seizing his assets while he appeals.

Delay. Delay. Delay.
