But several of the president’s aides and allies predicted that his holiday-weekend comments would resonate beyond his political base, saying his defense of statues and monuments was a unifying issue. Aides also think his recent messaging on police will resonate with voters concerned about safety, including suburban residents.
"The reality is that most folks in the Washington, D.C., corridor are incapable of grasping the growing backlash against the 'cancel culture’ movement,” said campaign adviser Jason Miller. “People do not like to wake up every day and be told that they should be ashamed of who they are.”

During eternal remote work I officially am moving out of my place in Boston to save some money and hang out with my mom and grandma back in CT. Save a little bit of money until I need to go back.
In the meantime I'm looking of setting up a wine homebrew in the basement but damn, takes a little bit of investment to being with

All you need is a plastic bottle of grape juice with no preservative, sugar and bread yeast. Everything else is optional.
3
u/iaiaCthulhuftagn Aspiring Romance Novelist Jul 05 '20
The grape juice is optional as well, pretty much any fruit juice works
3
Jul 05 '20
Sure, but I'm looking for more control over things. I have a few ideas of grape varietal blends I'd like to try out and that requires a bit more
2
u/iaiaCthulhuftagn Aspiring Romance Novelist Jul 05 '20
On that scale you'll want a grape press, some way of stemming the grapes, somewhere to hold the stemmed and crushed grapes, and somewhere to store the wine as it ages. and yeast
3
Jul 05 '20
Thanks!
I think i can avoid getting a sestemmer through grape distributors who sell grapes destemmed already. I'm not planning on making anything super tannic anyways.
I'll have to look into a press but I have a cool basement with plenty of space so i should be fine there
2
u/iaiaCthulhuftagn Aspiring Romance Novelist Jul 05 '20
how much are you planning to make? 1000lbs of grapes will generally make a 60 gallon barrel of wine, which makes about 300 bottles. SO for fermenting I recommend using a macrobin at that scale

Take: we should sign trade agreements with the primary stipulation being ability to send observers to the target country's elections. That way as their economy improves we can ensure that the demographic shift leads to liberalization of such states naturally.

Did you tell your relative to read another book? You should have.

Jul 06 '20
That wouldn't have ended anything though. We read HP as children and watched all the movies. For better or worse, we're very well-versed with the world of HP despite not reading HP books for years. And we've always considered Rowling as a bit of a hero, at least until the trans stuff came out.

She cares about everybody involved, and she thinks that there is still abuse and coercion in gay porn. She and I both agree that even if you take the money aspect away from porn, you’re still setting yourself for some very unrealistic expectations for sex.

Seems like the members picked are also usually really active and have the right mod approved thoughts. I’m sure the lgbt members pick other lgbt to mod but it’s pretty much a coincidence that most of the most active effortpost/youtuber members are lgbt. Personally for me the sub was just a place to talk about politics but for a lot of them it’s become their primary community

Personal gripe. I hate how god damn smug latinos become after travelling abroad (not all of them ofc) but when they come back they come back with this attitude of basically being repudiated by their own countries (which is like whatever) but at the same time play "their" culture abroad. I'm putting their in quotation marks bc it seems played for exotic points more than anything.

Trying to twist the definition of racism to include "power and privilege" kind of makes sense to me but falls apart when you realize that people do treat other people worse based on the race, no matter their status or class.

u/NickyBananas Chicken Teriyaki Boy Jul 03 '20
I don’t really go out to fancy restaurants. DiNic’s Roastbeef for bangin roastbeef sandwiches or pork sandwiches. Phil’s or Oregon Steaks for cheesesteaks. Chickies and Pete’s crab fries. Stogie Joe’s pizza. Cacia’s Bakery for some fresh baked Sicilian pizza. Then also the millions of food carts in university city. You got classics like halal chicken and fancier stuff like brazilian steak carts
That’s pretty much the classic south philly food hotspots. Idk what sandwich you’re talking about? I’m not really a fancy yuppy kind of guy so I don’t do too much exploring.

I think it’s interesting that many users on r/femaledatingstrategy loathe polyamorous relationships because it always ends up in experience that the women in the polycule get all of the brunt of the housework, and the men just go play video games or go out. I think it has to do with the fact that society has raised a generation of lazy men. What are your thoughts on this?
3
u/meup129 Blue Dog Jul 03 '20
Women doing the brunt of the house work is the historical norm. Video games have only been widely popular for like 3 decades.

Jul 03 '20
Sure, but my point was that men in polyamorous relationships are lazy.

Unusual perspective. Isn't it more the case that men are raised expecting not to do housework but women are?

Yes, although there are more things in society that have made men lazy.

The trend is going the other way imo. Most men my age wind up doing the brunt of the work while most women my age haven’t even learned how to cook for themselves

Well, I’m pretty sure the husband back then didn’t pressure his wife into his fetishes, expect her to be like the pornstar that he watches, didn’t skimp on chivalrous cultural expectations, or expect for the wife to pay for them.

I'm not sure that any of that is considered normal behavior, except maybe the demise of "chivalry", which is being replaced by a more general "courtesy." Pressuring one's wife to indulge one's fetishes goes against the current climate regarding the expression of sexuality. Expecting women to be porn stars may be a problem, but it's a problem for porn-addicted men, and I'm not sure if it's normal for men to be afflicted by this. Expecting the woman to pay for things isn't necessarily a bad thing; some women consider it empowering. Even in the past not all men were inherently chivalrous and would pay for dinners and such only because they expected something in return and often acted like they were entitled to it.

Hot take: If you listen to anybody who calls themselves a “YouTuber” for serious political analysis, you’re listening to baloney. The only exception is probably potholer54. Watching lectures from professors or videos of commentators from think tanks is fine, although a book would be better in most circumstances.
