So why not use a dripper?
Whereas a drip just passes through the coffee, a French Press is more of a steep. You get a stronger taste from it than you would on a drip.
Espresso is a whole other thing, expensive to get into at home. It uses a much finer grind and (IIRC) the water is pushed through under pressure.
Funny how Congress “can’t just legislate over SCOTUS” but only when it’s an issue of human rights. Corporate rights or Capital interests? BULLDOZE THAT DECISION BABYYYY
I watched an immigrant buy the house across the street and turn it into a compound, build a business with undocumented folk he kept in campers outside his house, and now that its established he ditched the campers, flys Trump flags, and advocates for mass deportation.
The “I got mine” mentality is strong.
It strips the tracking data to and from the engines, so if you tuck it behind a vpn, GG.
Yeah, there’s any number of reasons a kid might not have a costume. Finances, health, sensory issues, the list goes on.
Its free candy day, who gives a shit just give out free candy! ❤️

Totally fine when they do it.
This is precisely what I tell Democrats when they get extra faschie about “falling in line” with Harris. They get so mad about being called Blue MAGA but can’t stop themselves from using every MAGA behavior in the book.
Hello from the great white north
Fair, I see a lot of Europeans on Lemmy so that tends to be where my brain goes for non-US on here.
I get real irate about the “must vote dem or you’ll never get third party” because its gaslighting. No matter which election, what year of the cycle, there is no time in no way that libs will entertain the idea of a 3rd party. Voting dem only rewards them for moving right, and they use it as justification to sprint even further. Hell, half of Kamala’s campaign has been “I’m rolling with republicans.”
Every action the DNC takes is to keep power isolated to the chosen establishment. Kamala recently paid lip service to the need for aid in Gaza and a hold on weapons to Israel, then sent somebody out to do stump speeches assuring that policy opinion hasn’t changed, she’s still all in on Israel, and she was just trying to shut up progressives.
This isn’t a sudden happenstance, its been a long road leading to this, and Democrats are actively complicit - Fascism is just the end game of capitalism. Hell, Musk just sued an advertiser into paying him for ads. Freedom!
Some quick info on American duopoly, since you aren’t here-
Voting Democrat isn’t voting against Republican policies, it’s voting against them NOW and getting them 5-10 years later once they’ve let the Overton window shift and Republicans are crazier. That’s the cliffs notes of how we got here - Democrats have been arguing for at least 10, probably 20 years, that (however worded at the time) leftists are the problem and use that to move further right to court “centrists” who are just Republicans who don’t want the social blowback, giving Republicans the room to pull further into the extreme right. Democrats of year X are basically just Republicans of year X-10.
“Well if you don’t vote Dem you can’t get change!” You already can’t now. they’re half of the two parties who move the goalposts anytime a third party looks like they’ll meet the requirements for inclusion, and they (the DNC) went to court in 2016 to have it legally ruled that their charter is bullshit and as a private entity they can do what they want - voters and donors be damned.
Democrats pay lip service to Trump only because they don’t have a platform without “we aren’t them.” Democrats spend more time and energy bullying leftists for not being onboard than they do trying to beat Republicans. For at least 10 years now, they love to blame us for all their woes, but instead of adjusting policy to capture those voters they move farther right because “it’s the left’s fault we lost.” It’s an intentional cycle to forever justify sprinting rightward and to always have a scapegoat instead of admitting they aren’t in sync with voters.
TLDR: Everyone claims blue MAGA are the saviors and the only ones who can save us, but they don’t do fuckshit to stop the rise of fascism because they’re also fascist, just with a smile. A vote for Dems isn’t a vote against fascism, it’s a vote for fascism in 4-8 years when all the Dem voters will root for it and call anybody who disagrees the enemy (Like they’re already doing now.)
He played that card in a later reply, "In THIS election you have to make a statement… "
My brother in Christ I’m 37 years old and been told that for basically every election ive voted in.
I’d argue those people were necessary, what with how public opinion works.
If we’re in a tug of war and you’re pulling with 10 pounds of force, I can’t beat you with 2 pounds of force. In context, you won’t beat “ITLL MAKE YOU GO BLIND AND KILL YOU” with “heeey, like, jot always, maaaannnnn.”
As always, reality is somewhere in the middle, but we wouldn’t have had the progress we did without the other extreme being loud and out there.
All is legal in the eyes of capital.
With every bonkers reddit/twitter move we get new waves of milquetoast liberals.
I just wish someone would tap the sign of “no, claiming Harris is the answer to all our problems on ml instances won’t go well.” So tired of threads from .world types crying oppression when they’re banned for screeching hate at people but cheer when .world mods kick us for posting a source or some other mundane bullshit.
I always see unhinged folk making bad faith arguments or outright shit talk shriek about being banned from ml instances for “disagreeing” then turn around and cheer when .world bans you for linking a source or something.
Thats not even a weightlifter body lol.
Incels just think anything other than questionable consent with somebody who looks like a child is actually gay.
Agreed. Ive followed him off and on since the beginning. Love Clint ❤️
I dont have time to look for it right now but maybe somebody else will recall that study that shows something like 20% of public favored policy becoming law vs IIRC ~60% of corporate favored policy.
You: watch Democrats continue and expand evil thing that trump started
HURR DURR DEMOCRATS HEROES
I switched to a French Press recently-ish. Instead of 4 or 5 cups of weaker coffee from my single serve drip thingie, I have 2 strong cups from my French Press and am ready to go. I’m thinking about trying a pourover to see how that is. Espresso is tasty and strong, but I don’t think I’d want it NEARLY enough to justify a machine. I usually only do espresso when I’m traveling, makes me feel fancy having a latte in the big city haha.
All that said, coffee is very individual. There is no “right” answer. If you’re happy with drip, than drip is the way. :)
