That's at least within kicking distance of sanity

I'm more obsessed with the idea of being a republican this long, and only now changing your mind about 45. The list of things about him which are twice as bad alone is stultifying.

The war began in Crimea years ago, and it will have to end there.

I would leave immediately and remain offended permanently.

Tell us more about this expert opinion

Putting words in my mouth won't change the mess we've got on our hands. We want those things and we can get them, but not immediately (absent a millions-strong general strike) and not without a fight (another Blair mountain, probably worse).

I'm not trying to deter you. I'm talking about what's in our way.

We all want that, the difference is that we understand how this political system works well enough to know we can't have it.

If you're advocating for overthrowing the government, dropping little internet comments isn't how one does that thing.

If you're actually hoping to elect a third party president simply by helping them get more votes spread out across every district despite them having few to no reps in other branches of the federal government and hardly anyone in local governments, you have an inadequate understanding of the system you're hoping to affect.

If, on the other hand, you're just using rhetorical gambits to discourage progressive voters in the upcoming election, I take back any implication that your comments are pointless or wrong. This is exactly how you'd go about that goal, great job.

Edit: I think I've misread this comment chain, but putting my comment back now

These drugs have been used on cis children for non trans related conditions (such as precocious puberty in young children and some hormone-sensitive cancers in adults) for a long time and their effects are well known and fully reversible.

The use of puberty blockers in transgender youth is supported by twelve major medical associations, including the AMA. The people who take them are always, by established protocol, made aware of their major and side effects in relation to their own goals and self perceptions with regard to gender.

On the basis of the forgoing, trans healthcare is considered life saving by a vast consensus of medical professionals.

Now let's hear your side of this totally good faith discussion you've been talking about.

Highland Samoas (lemmy.world)

These are basically samoas (the Girl Scout cookie) built on top of full sized Scottish shortbreads, laden with caramel, toasted coconut, and dipped in chocolate. Normal samoas are designed so you can eat the whole box before you hate yourself. These accomplish that aim with just one.

I'm used to it being kind of simple - I'd configure DS4Windows, install hidhide etc, and connect via bluetooth. Now, no matter what I do, no game wants to read inputs from any controller I set up. Feeling defeated after a couple hours of poking around. Not looking for anyone to spoonfeed me a solution unless you've had the same issue and solved it, just grumbling.

This is my teapot. It's about 1.5L and has a forward handle for the wrist crushing weight of it. It's a monster, made in America. Sadly I dropped the lid a year ago, and have been using a bowl to cover it, which clatters and makes a hell of a noise from the steam.

Is there a better way? Anywhere that sells lids? Failing that, share your ersatz teapot lids.

Compared with human history, I sometimes think my own setting isn't badly written enough to be realistic.

Stealing from Weissman's board ideas, I made a gastrique with shallot and dried chiltepin for the cream cheese. The rest is all cheap and cheerful Lidl nibbles.

Really happy with it after about 11 years with a Cherry blue MX Das Keyboard, which is starting to break down. I'm exclusively WFH, so I get all the clicks.

The fakest tonkotsu (lemmy.world)

This is LIKE tonkotsu, if you don't have chashu pork or bones to make your own broth.

I was inspired to attempt Joshua Weissman's new quick recipe, but it ended up with more of a FutureCanoe vibe. I went to every shop in town looking for pork bones and struck out. It took all weekend.

My only options were admitting defeat or conducting a science experiment involving premade ramen broth, pork Bisto, gelatin, and duck fat emulsified with a blender.

Also my tare was bonito and konbu powder rather than real stuff. The Asian markets in town didn't know what shirodashi was, so I had to fake it.

The pork is cured and slow roasted belly, which is itself extremely nice and I'm not mad at that substitution at all.

Still pretty good. I'm happy with how my eggs turned out.
