Beverly Hills - Weezer

I actually quite like Weezer, but goddamn that song drives me nuts for some reason I can’t put my finger on. A close second is Bubbly - Colbie Caillat, in large part because of the line “I get the tingles in a silly place”. It’s such a deranged way to say you’re horny.

I was talking about the NB election in reply to the other commenter’s mention of the upcoming elections here. Sorry, I could have made that clearer since the thread is about a separate upcoming election.

My continued existence pisses off fascists.

I’m vegan, non-binary (with dyed hair), car-free, a member of a linguistic minority, poor, and many other things that make conservatives think the world would be better off without me. I strive to survive mostly to spite these fuckers.

I’m very left, so I have historically always voted Green in provincial elections (I’m a big fan of David Coon, at least as far as I can be a “fan” of a politician).

However, I’m considering voting Liberal for the first time in my life since my riding is tightly contested between the Lib candidate and the incumbent Conservative. I absolutely despise both strategic voting and the provincial Liberal Party, but not nearly as much as I loathe Higgs and his crew.

I’m non-binary, have many queer & trans friends, including some who do drag. I’m also francophone. NB under a Conservative government is dangerous for my loved ones and I. Especially since we’re basically guaranteed a Conservative victory I’m the next federal elections, I have night terrors at the idea of Premier Higgs and PM Poilievre.

Personally, I think refraining from distributing genocidal propaganda is pretty functionally dissimilar to being a bigot.

I don’t want to come off as abrasive and I don’t want to assume any ill-intent on your part, but it’s fucking frustrating hearing takes like this as a trans person. Equating the refusal to participate in a hateful disinformation campaign to refusing to marry a gay couple is deifying the liberal concepts of law & order at the expense of human decency. It is not hypocrisy to support anti-fascist actions whilst denouncing fascist actions, even if they express those actions in a similar fashion. For example, I largely support Just Stop Oil’s disruptive protests, whereas I would be disgusted if fascists defaced artworks by spray-painting swastikas all over. Is that hypocritical?

Again, sorry if I come on strongly in this comment, my frustrations are definitely from society at large rather than your comment, but having your right to exist being framed as a “political belief” is frankly exhausting.

I’ve tried both ways and didn’t really note any differences. If anything, unpressed might’ve had a slightly better texture.

I find for crumbled or smaller pieces of tofu, pressing doesn’t do much. It’s really more for when you have bigger chunks and want to marinate it, in my experience.

For a savory breakfast, my go-to is tofu scramble. I keep my spices premixed in a mason jar so it’s really easy. Oil in a pan, crumble up the tofu, add spices and a can of black beans. If I’m feeling fancy or have veggies I want to use up, I’ll fry those up a bit before adding the tofu.

For dessert-breakfast, (vegan) waffles with maple syrup and fresh strawberries is my Saturday morning staple.

If anyone’s curious, here’s the spice mix I use for my tofu scramble (quantities listed are good for around 6-8 blocks of tofu):

4 Tbsp nutritional yeast
2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp black salt (also called kala namak)
1.5 tsp turmeric (for colour)
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Since when are 3 year olds being sent to school?

Like I said, not an expert haha (thanks for explaining what mTLS is because I had assumed I knew but truly didn’t)

That being said, I found a reddit thread detailing what seems to be the same issue as you, with OP linking a Stack Exchange post with their solution.

Using the name of a place to refer to its residents is super common and widely-understood. It’s a form of metonym.

Another example of metonymy would be “White House cracks down on crime”, obviously the White House is a building and cannot enforce laws. “White House” in this situation is a metonym for the President and/or their administration.

Hope this helps clear up your confusion! 😊

After some searching, maybe following the instructions on this blog post would work?

I’m by no means an expert though, so take my suggestions with a grain of salt.

I’m pretty sure you need to install it using “CA certificate” rather than the “VPN and app user certificate” option.

Also, doesn’t Canada have a king now? Do they still recognise the UK royalty as heads of state, or did that change

OP isn’t talking about our old gal Lizzie, they’re talking about the queen of Canada Romana Didulo, who leads a QAnon-based cult and tours around Canada with them in an RV. Here’s an excerpt from her Wikipedia article about her claims to the throne:

Though Didulo did not initially explain the basis for her claim to be the Monarch of Canada, she later clarified that she had been “appointed” to that position by an American named David J. Carlson, purportedly the “Commander-In-Chief” and “King” of the United States. Didulo claims that Carlson appointed her after she led in 2017 a mission against the Chinese communist military, who were allegedly occupying Canada in underground tunnels, where they were producing adrenochrome, trafficking humans and planning to start World War III by attacking the United States.

The background of all my devices is a gradient version of the bisexual flag, so I guess that’d be my fav gradient!

Kubernetes can also be known as K8s

So many posts at /c/selfhosted@lemmy.world make a lot more sense to me now, thanks!

(Also, as a footnote, Espresso shots die after 5-10 seconds; the crema just dissipates after then, making the shot taste acidic)

Espresso shots “dying” within 10 seconds is a myth, apparently started by Starbucks’ training funnily enough. The flavour of a shot definitely dies down as it gets cooler and the crema dissipates, but it’s a matter of minutes rather than seconds before a shot tastes bad.

Heck it takes more than 10 seconds to get the drink to the clients in every café I’ve worked in. If espresso dies after 10 seconds, I have never served a good espresso. I’ve also apparently never had good espresso at work, because I swear every damn time I pull a shot for myself a client comes right in before I can take a sip :P

You’re incorrect, “expresso” in French is pronounced /ɛk.spʁɛ.so/.

I’m a snobby barista, so I stick to the more Italian-like prononciation even when speaking French, but the French word expresso is pronounced as its written.

NB has never been a safe haven for queer people, but the brazenness of homophobes and transphobes has increased dramatically since Premier Higgs’ attack on trans youth and policy 713.

I personally know quite a few drag performers in the province, and every single one of them consistently receives death threats and harassment on their social media.

If you vote conservative, fuck you. The rhetoric of the Conservatives (both provincially in NB and federally) is directly influencing the rise of hate crimes towards people I love. If you still support these political parties, you are either uninformed to a ridiculous degree (in which case, please educate yourself before giving your support to people) or you’re a shitstain on society.

It’s wild how conservatives constantly have the worst takes on absolutely everything. It’d be funny if I weren’t so worried. How they always end up having whichever opinion is furthest away from scientific consensus and/or human decency is actually absurd. You’d think they’d at least occasionally end up having a few reasonable, well thought-out views.
