Being an anarchist isn't an excuse to be a dick y'know.

The niche coffee scene in the US uses them, they are excellent for pour overs, French press, etc. But they are not widely popular since dedicated coffee machines are most commonly used.

I did read your comment, that is why I responded the way I did. If you can't link that minorities are the ones affected by racism, I don't think that you should be commenting on racial politics in the US.

Have you considered that your perspective on the matter could be skewed by your own inability to take critique maturely? Most adults are able self-reflect and grow as people from interactions with others of differing perspectives. It's only a small percentage who react violently, and frankly, they are bullies who should not be catered to.

Nothing quite like logging onto lemmy and reading the most "if minorities were nicer then people would be less racist" victim blaming comment. No, there is no world in which minorities rolling over and gently teaching misguided racists gets them equal rights. We have a systemic issue in the US where the right has been defunding education and pushing vitriolic rhetoric for decades. Minorities should not need to prove their humanity at every turn just to stay alive, nevertheless participate in politics.

Well they're going to have to hurry it up if they want to prevent this one, voting is tomorrow I believe.

Note that it's extremely likely that ranked choice will be the deciding factor here as Cuomo may "win" first choice but lose the ranked majority. Expect challenges in implementing ranked choice from establishment dems in the immediate future.

I have the boox palma 2, if you (OP) want a very portable device I'd definitely recommend! The fingerprint reader is pretty bad though, ha. But worth it to have something phone sized and easy to pocket.

Does that matter? Each one is a real person whose life is going to be turned upside down thanks to this ruling. The fascists will justify this if the number is small ("not that many people affected, what does it matter?") or large ("this is a dangerous trend that should be regulated"). We need to support trans rights on principle.

Dude, I have read your other posts and sincerely, go log off and touch some grass. And maybe get some therapy. The internet is not going to solve your problems for you.

Who exactly is opining on the man vs bear argument that you're complaining about? I can read between the lines my guy. I can also see your comment history with a bunch of deleted comments on the women's only community discussing it.

I think you may have more in common with conservatives than you think if your response to personal dissatisfaction is to blame women for pointing out systems of oppression rather than the systems themselves. Patriarchy hurts us all.
