It’s a small countertop convection oven that doesn’t heat up the whole kitchen

I grilled hot dogs and watched a baseball game on TV. Then we watched Civil War which was a great 4th of July movie. Perfect day.

I guess the language of it comes from the Internet, but for us (mostly my partner) the love of black cats goes back to childhood TV and we ended up rescuing a bonded pair of them. In reality we definitely don’t need to be doing cat phrenology

I think it’s mostly harmless though. Like, we say our cats have spicy black cat energy because it’s fun and makes us think of Halloween, but ultimately they are spicy because all cats are spicy.

Probably referring to this report

President Biden has told a key ally that he knows he may not be able to salvage his candidacy if he cannot convince the public in the coming days that he is up for the job after a disastrous debate performance last week.

The president, who the ally emphasized is still deeply in the fight for re-election, understands that his next few appearances heading into the holiday weekend — including an interview scheduled for Friday with George Stephanopoulos of ABC News and campaign stops in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — must go well.

White House has refuted this, and hard to trust NYT as well as its definitely sensationalized a bit.

The ‘left’ will go out and protest when Trump wins, or whatever else happens between now and November, and the state will be forced to massacre them. Damn leftists

I have been happily off Reddit for a month or so as I mostly am using hexbear for my cheap dopamine hits.

There are still some subreddits I go to, mostly for a couple video games and a sports team. Today I made the mistake of clicking r/all and the #1 post was from r/whitepeopletwitter, basically accusing the NYT of having…a pro-trump slant? Because they won’t call for Trump to drop out?

And the comments were…awful. These shiddiots have their heads so deep in the sand they’re about to hit bedrock. Thank you all for providing a beacon of…sanity?

Also, I just realized the general megathread rotates comms lol

In CAN every registered voter gets mailed a ballot, no postage required, weeks before the election. If you are uncomfortable mailing it back, staffed drop boxes are available for 2 weeks prior. If you forget until the day of, you have to go drop it off but of course I have never spent more than 15 minutes waiting at a polling location.

If anything Biden could’ve focused his first term on shoring up our broken election system.

Why not femboys

That’s mostly disadvantaged communities in red states, and its by design.

I’m sick at home with Covid and couldn’t play Xbox…

Also its a reminder that my Xbox series s is just a brick without Microsoft’s services, and when its no longer profitable for them to provide those services it will be a total brick once again and for all time

When I say “early christianity” I guess I basically mean the parts of Acts where everyone would join and sell all their possessions, and the “church” (still a small Jewish sect) was using the funds to help widows and other disadvantaged folks. At least, that is how it was described in Acts

Jesus himself - not a socialist really. I mean, some of his parables are based in capitalism (Parable of the Talents, Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard). He definitely became political, even if he didn’t mean to. Ofc, I don’t really trust the gospels as a historical account.

Fr. He could make one phone call and have the secret service poison Trump, and get off scot free. Probably impeached, but who cares? I thought his no. 1 goal was to stop trump (it obviously isn’t)

I don’t understand how over a millennia of one entity controlling the vast majority of the christian religion could have been twisted from a mutual aid society in the Levant into this? I mean there’s no history of any bad things Christians did before this

Also, fuck Paul. I grew up christian and still identify with much of Jesus teachings, but anyone who believes the bible is inerrant is a total dipshit

If masking is a personal choice, you also have the personal choice to not hang out with people who are inconsiderate.

We have a cheap elliptical gathering dust. I ought to just use that a bit every day. I’ve also got the old man back and hip pain coming in. A relatively tame weekend trip has left me exhausted

I used to like wargame and was considering warno in the steam sale. Ill avoid eugen games now though thanks for the info

Its such bullshit. He definitely exaggerated as well as referring to the Obama years, 10+ years ago. Bro would break his hip if he swung a golf club now.

Like trump baited him and he took it and stooped to trumps level. Just made himself look like a fool for no benefit

I somewhat resent getting put on lexapro so nonchalantly. Yes it really helped temper some dark thoughts and depressive episodes but didn’t make me happy either

I bought and installed it but still haven’t gotten around to it. The reviews are good though and CPP played it so maybe check out his lets play.

Also the new patch for C:S2 really improved things a lot with the second is simulation. It needs a lot more other things but its improving and might be better than the original in a few years if they keep it up
