I WOULD OFTEN GO THERE

TO THE TINY CHURCH THERE

I do feel like arguing semantics at almost all times steals some energy from the movement overall

That may be hard, seeing as all AIs use ungodly amounts of electricity. So I’d say they all worsen the world.

Unfortunately, those players make so much money that it moves them into the big club that we ain’t in. Not a lot of class/race solidarity there, from what I’ve seen…just solidarity with whatever gets them paid.

Which I guess makes sense. The sport itself is extremely predatory, preying on young, very poor (usually) black men, offering them the promise of wealth they wouldn’t normally have access to—if they just sell their bodies and physical health to the wealthier white men who own them. So they work their asses off all through high school and college to hopefully have the chance at the NFL; joining the league literally becomes the culmination of their life’s work.

Not many want to actually rock that boat.

Same here

If that’s all that happens, I’m not sure how I’ll feel about him going forward. Isn’t he meant to be the thinking man’s rapper? Kind of an educated leftist type? For him to accept a Superbowl halftime show and not be planning ANYTHING would make so much of his work and messaging become hollow to me.

On the other hand, idk what he would even do besides saying ‘fuck Trump’. That would be the weakest, most watered down shit, but you’re 100% right, that’s the state of things.

Interested to see if Kendrick is gonna have ANYTHING to say about the state of things at his performance at the halftime show.

I get mine in bulk at Costco so I never run out

Very interesting, I did not know that! Cool stuff

No? Wasn’t aware I needed to police my tone in a discussion about apple butter. The person I wrote it to seemed to really like it, so I was sorry they went so long not noticing it is, in fact, everywhere. I’m not sure exactly what part of my comment is setting people off, but it’s cool I guess.

Trader Joe’s has some fire freezer pancakes

I can literally go to any diner around me and there will be individually packaged containers of apple butter, usually next to whatever little packages of jelly they have on offer. I’m sorry you’ve suffered without for so long not noticing them

Buffalo…sauce? Buffalo, New York? Buffalo the ungulate? I am confused

Having been here since July of last year, there definitely are. The demographics skew towards older tech bro types, in my experience.

The issue is it seems a large percentage of grandparents don’t listen or actively override your request. Family, I fucking swear. They get shameless when you have kids.

(They are, that’s why everyone gets bent out of shape when boomers are criticized here)

Don’t kid yourself, bud.

Have people forgotten about the used market? Buying things second hand is the way.

I’ve been enjoying LibroFM instead of Audible. Same subscription/credits per month model, but a portion goes to support a local bookstore of your choice. Feels way better to do that than give any extra money to Amazon.
