What is a quinoa shaker? I'm curious to learn more about what I'm looking at :)

Is this ingredients for essentially like a dense salad?

Interesting, I appreciate you adding additional context. I dont know how or if it changes my perspective on things but having more info to consider is helpful :)

From a google it does seem like the second red scare (I didn't know there were two of them) was right around the late 1940s through the 1950s according to Wikipedia. I described it him that way cause thats how one of the people listed in the Wikipedia article on his list described it reflecting on him and I felt it was apt, but if I'm missing about what happened when something I'd welcome additional info and correction ☺️ I'm honestly really ignorant about history and have been trying to learn more lately.

If you wanna share anything more you know about the subject please feel free (no obligation or anything of course)

I learned recently that although identifing as a socialist, Orwell was kind of a crappy dude. He sold out a ton of people he saw as too communist to the British intelligence service in a weird dossier with kinda bigoted descriptions of people.

He was apparently on his deathbed and dying of a disease (I think TB?) That some have said makes you not all mentally there, but it seems unlikely to me that the bigotedness was fabricated entirely by the impact of disease on his mind.

It kinda made me reconsider how I interpreted parts of 1984. He seemed to kinda look down on lower socioeconomic groups and indigenous populations as like baser more animal, less human creatures, and you can kinda see a bit of his McCarthyism in 1984. I found it kinda odd what groups he said he thought would form the authoritarian bougiosie class (sorry I dont feel like looking up how to spell that right now, so you get my horrible butchered spelling)

Thanks for explaining! ☺️ I'd seen this before I think when going to the gnome repos and was curious what it was

Thanks for the reccomendation, I'll take a look :)

Yeah its the customization features. A couple replies down I listed some of the features I use that I haven't seen in other launchers. I'll check out total launcher and see if it could work for me

I think if the FBI leaders who ran cointelpro could see the culture of leftist spaces online today (and offline to an extent), they'd be really fuckin proud of themselves.

We have absolutely allowed ourselves to buy into the notion that "doing the work" is the same thing as finding someone among us to label the enemy and attempting to punish them.

It kinda affects any space dedicated to folks who care about doing something because its good, honestly. I see it a lot from open source people a lot too

FD signifier and Lindsay Ellis* both have really good videos about this subject. Lindsay's is on her cancelation if you go looking for it.

We have to learn to kill the cops in our minds. No more carceral justice, for our fellow leftists or otherwise. We have to learn how to build something together rather than just tear eachother down; when we can do that we'll be an actual threat to the system. Until then, the agents that destroyed the last effective leftist movement in the US are pointing and laughing.

Edit: added a link for FD's video. Apparently the Lindsay Ellis video was taken down or unlisted, so sadly I can't link to it. It was a very effective portrayal of some of the deepest dysfunctions of leftist spaces online

Dunno if anyone else enjoys auto detailing, but I really like these microfibers and saw they were on sale for even cheaper while checking discounts (Waiting for a torque wrench to be discounted so I can do my spark plugs for the first time :)

If product related posts are unwelcome please feel free to remove/report/downvote or I can remove it :)

 

Now with ai you can get "more" (but weirder) performance with lesser parts, that now only cost 500x as much! The future is so exciting
