  • Right, OK, one 12 hour day later, let's do this.

    Here's my plan, I don't want to write a novel, and that would make commenting tough because all y'all would be tripping all over yourselves as a single thread bounces from topic to topic.

    So I'm taking Stamets post one piece at a time and making top level comments for each piece.

    If I seem to go radio silent, it's because I'm reading, writing, formatting, etc. I likely won't reply individually until I'm done going through the whole thing. Stamets put a lot of work into this and it deserves a decent reply. If I stop to reply as comments come in, I'll never finish the thing.

    NGL, I might sneak in a dinner break too.

  • Sooo... I'm guessing the complaints are coming from people who didn't watch it? Because I can't put my finger on anything that was horrible or false or anything.

  • The brand I like is either an import from Italy or Argentina (they do both), so it's got to be related to tarriffs I'd think.

    I know Spanish olive oil had a bumper crop and the prices dropped, but that didn't help me. LOL.

  • Been a while since I bought olive oil, went looking for my usual brand. $48.

    I don't remember the exact price last time, but I want to say $27? $28?

  • As I said above:

    "This is going to require a more thoughtful response than I can give rignt now as it's coming right at the start of my actual paying work day, but I'll have something to say on it later today."

    I will respond, but I am not on your schedule to do so. I know it's hard to believe, but I do have better things to do than respond to a drama post right now.

  • This is going to require a more thoughtful response than I can give rignt now as it's coming right at the start of my actual paying work day, but I'll have something to say on it later today.

    I will say now the complaints of zionism are absolutely horse shit.

    The problem in World is there is a LOT of infringing content that happens to be pro-Palestinian. It's not removed because it's pro-Palestinian, it's removed for being hate speech, calls to violence, etc. etc.

    It's the nature of the World audience to be anti-Israel (and rightly so!) so when those comments go off the rails calling for Jewish executions and what not, yeah, I'm going to remove them and I'm not going to feel bad about removing them.

    Here's a good example just from today:

    https://lemmy.world/post/36003575

    If there were a significant number of pro-Israel posts calling for genocide, those would be removed too, but they just don't happen that often. If I were to pull a number out of my ass I'd say 20:1? 30:1? Pro-Palestinian vs. Pro-Israel?

    There are actually more actionable items being Pro-Russia in Ukraine or Pro-China with the Uyghur genocide than there are Pro-Israel.

  • We don't allow editorializing headlines. The OG headline here is "Israel says 'Gaza is burning' as it launches ground assault"

    You can editorialize in the body of the post or as a comment, but not the headline.

    (I'd personally lead with "no shit Israel, you're burning it!" but you do you.)

    Please revert the headline or we'll have to remove the post.

  • Comic book villain M.O.D.O.K.

    "Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing"

  • My biggest feather in my reddit hat was that they included me in their net neutrality filing with the FCC. I am actually pretty proud of that.

    What ever happened to them after that? 😭

  • Celebrate by honoring your second amendment rights? Go to the range and practice shooting at 200 yards?

  • My wife was telling me a story about someone who was recently hassled for wearing a Trek shirt that had "Kirk 0-1" on the back. :(

    Not sure of the context on that. You'd think it would have been "Kirk 1-0" on like the Kobayashi Maru or something.

  • Clock in at work. 34 minutes later I earn $40.

  • Left, but also: "attempted to kill Democratic Mayor of Louisville, Kentucky".

  • They have physical stores here that are great!

  • Looks like Thor 2 was so bad you completely forgot it existed and are calling Thor 3 "Thor 2". :)

  • Speaking as a former top 1%er redditor... figuring out how to do it and being willing to do it are two completely different things.

    Life would be so much easier if I lacked basic human ethics. :)

  • Penzeys has a couple of blends I really like:

    Pie Spice:

    https://www.penzeys.com/online-catalog/pie-spice/c-24/p-3079/pd-s

    "Hand-mixed from: cinnamon (China, Korintje, Ceylon, Vietnamese), vanilla sugar (sugar, vanilla bean), mace, ginger, nutmeg, anise seed and clove."

    Good anywhere you'd use cinnamon, but also surprisingly good on hot, buttered popcorn.

    Mural of Flavor:

    https://www.penzeys.com/online-catalog/mural-of-flavor/c-24/p-219/pd-s

    "Hand-mixed from: spices, shallots, onion, garlic, lemon peel, citric acid, chives and orange peel."

    Good on meats, sandwiches, but the surprise to me was adding it to chowders makes it taste like Chicken in a Biscuit crackers.

  • DF is who I'm waiting on, but from what I'm hearing, they didn't send reviewer codes so it's all delayed and that's never a good sign.
