There was a user that was constantly rowing-posting in megathreads. They got banned :( I miss them.

Snagged a clever brewer for $5 at a rummage sale! And a mirror for cheap! Needs repainted, but I can get that done with a sample-size paint can or the leftover blue-grey from my parents' living room.

Pro tip for clever brewer--put the water in first and the coffee second, then stir. It cuts the draw down time in half compared to coffee first! I think it's because the fines don't instantly settle into the filter's micro holes.

This type of brewer combines the benefits of a French press (body, sweetness, you don't have to stand there pouring water the whole time, mistakes don't really matter much, consistency) with the benefits of using a paper filter (no chunky bits or excessive oil in the coffee).

I can't understand how anybody looks at the guy that is threatening and dehumanizing the enby and finds him in any way sympathetic.

Is 50 years of airport use not a good return on a $20 billion investment?

ExpressVPN also uses dark pattern UI design to make it harder to cancel, if the above wasn't enough of a reason to avoid it.

Lesbians, famous for not being political!

To me, the biggest contradiction here is that "he" is speaking with all the intensity of a 6 AM podcast while supposedly being on stage. The body language actually seems kinda accurate, too.

And of course, the material is a soulless string of cliches.

Yeah honestly that's a common theme in the blues. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvrfDeylTTY

Here is an example called Lover Man, but it doesn't have to be romantic either.

Actually this isn't a good example now that I listened to the lyrics again, I'll see if I can find a better one.

Why are his eyebrows above his head? Immersion ruined, my belief can only be suspended so far!

ok I pull up

From wikipedia:

On March 29, 1951, the Rosenbergs were convicted of espionage. They were sentenced to death on April 5 under Section 2 of the Espionage Act of 1917,[31] which provides that anyone convicted of transmitting or attempting to transmit to a foreign government "information relating to the national defense" may be imprisoned for life or put to death.[32]

Prosecutor Roy Cohn later claimed that his influence led to both Kaufman and Saypol being appointed to the Rosenberg case and that Kaufman imposed the death penalty based on Cohn's personal recommendation. Cohn would go on later to work for Senator Joseph McCarthy, appointed as chief counsel to the investigations subcommittee during McCarthy's tenure as chairman of the Senate Government Operations Committee.[33]

In imposing the death penalty, Kaufman noted that he held the Rosenbergs responsible not only for espionage but for American deaths in the Korean War:[34]

I believe your conduct in putting into the hands of the Russians the A-bomb years before our best scientists predicted Russia would perfect the bomb has already caused, in my opinion, the Communist aggression in Korea, with the resultant casualties exceeding 50,000 and who knows but that millions more of innocent people may pay the price of your treason. Indeed, by your betrayal you undoubtedly have altered the course of history to the disadvantage of our country.

The U.S. government offered to spare the lives of both Julius and Ethel if Julius provided the names of other spies and they admitted their guilt. The Rosenbergs made a public statement: "By asking us to repudiate the truth of our innocence, the government admits its own doubts concerning our guilt...we will not be coerced, even under pain of death, to bear false witness".[24]
