American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). They are the ones playing defense against fascism and violations of civil liberties by the US government. This includes immigration, freedom of religion/expression, lgbtq rights, abortion rights, you name it they’ve done it.they are responsible for getting nunerous illegal bills/acts/laws rescinded. They do great work. The sort of work that is foundational to getting the US government on track.
They’re better than cast iron for some things in my experience. Acidic dishes, eggs (scrambled always stick to cast iron for me). But cast iron’s heat retention is superior, providing a more even cooking surface on electric ranges - good for searing meat and most other applications.
Yes this. Literally just handwash with soap and water. Season occasionally (clean & then scrub with steel wool to get an even surface, very small amount of oil/lard spread over pan very thinly, oven at 260c/500f until totally dried/hardened, repeat a couple times).
Oven safe, nonstick, durable.
Yes. Although way fewer than I’d expect. Would recommend. Easy and cheap to grow yourself.
Nothing bad can happen. It can only good happen. But with Tylenol, don’t take it.
In the US, yes. It was more common before the mid-2010s when the r-slur was very commonly used.

Ad hominem fallacy. The person who has been exposed for various things, instead of trying to refute the argument of the accuser (e.g. “they’re misrepresenting the facts”, “I couldn’t have done that here’s an alibi”)
… they just make their own accusations to make others mistrust their accuser. All of the examples you listed were ad hominem attacks against your friend.
Wait is that shopped to make his face bigger?
Man the “miracles” he “performed” to get beatified are so fucking thin its ridiculous even for the church. Some kids were supposedly cured of disease after their moms prayed to him. Like…thats it. No jesus image on toast, no statues weeping blood. Just some ladies say they prayed to this random kid and one touched his shirt and their kids happened to get better from some illnesses.
That was my first reaction. Using LLMs is a lot like being a manager. You have to describe goals/tasks and delegate them, while usually not doing any of the tasks yourself.
Sterols. Lipids found in pollen. Specifically, yeast enriched with sterols.

Because Fascists don’t care about truth or reason
They aren’t saying anything, but here’s the context. The UK criminalized pro-Palestinian slogans in public a pro-Palestinian rights group called Palestine Action. They use several slogans, most notably the “Support Palestine Action” slogan. They recently arrested a bunch of people for peacefully protesting with this group.
This guy has a shirt that says “Support Plasticene Action” which, notably, does not reference Palestine at all though the words have an aesthetic similarity to the Palestine slogan. So the pigs are trying to see if they can arrest him for hate speech fucking terrorism (wow) or not.
Edit: got some important facts wrong, so corrected
Scar Jo. She’s just not a good actor. Same with Gal Gadot. Also Jack Black and Seth Rogen and the Rock, they don’t act - they’re just themselves in every movie.
Short answer: Many people support those governments critically or uncritically for various reasons.
Long answer:
Russia: Some people who oppose US hegemony support Russia as probably the most effective anti-US actor globally - I mean look at what they’ve managed (in part) to do to the US government over the last 10 years or so. They may also be sympathetic to Russian anti-NATO sentiment. People who support China may also critically support Russia since they are a strategic ally of China. Some people just full-throatedly support Russia uncritically - I don’t know why they’re quite so enthusiastic, but most others who have pro-Russian sentiment are still critical of Russia, but support them as a major power capable of attacking US hegemony.
China: China is the most successful communist country to have ever existed. Many left-leaning people may support China to varying degrees because they are an Actually Existing Socialist country and because their model of Communism with Chinese Characteristics seems to work quite well for them. Due to the West (broadly) attacking Socialist governments in the name of Liberalism & becoming increasingly more fascistic, China could be an important bulwark against fascism. Many people support China uncritically - they genuinely like the Chinese system of government and want their governments to be more like China’s. Other people critically support China - they believe China’s government is problematic in some way(s), but support it anyway as a bastion of socialism and a significant challenger to US economic & political hegemony.
As for support for the governments as opposed to the people: We kind of have to talk about these things at the country level, since governments are the (imperfect) embodiments of political ideologies and collectively act on behalf of the people within their borders, and “the people” aren’t monolithic. We often treat countries as avatars of political ideologies which is inaccurate but is an abstraction that unfortunately often leads to an oversimplification of the ideologies behind & effects of those governments’ actions while allowing us to create a comprehensible narrative.
I have 2 monitors at different resolutions, works fine and my desktop/icon theme/etc is very pretty imo. I do agree that mint out of the box is maybe equally/sliiiightly less pretty than windows - but as soon as you change the shitty default wallpaper it is prettier imo.
That is true about Adobe products. But fuck adobe. And if you need Adobe, then just dual boot.
Mormon Jesus made this deal too. LDS church gives tons of bibles to hotels worldwide to put their fanfic right next to the original boring version.
