Wait is that shopped to make his face bigger?

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.

And also he defined that term very specifically. He said only that Trump is acting in the best interests of Russia. When someone normally uses that language, they mean they are in the employ of a country, like a spy.

So, it’s meant to be inflammatory and spur action on the part of the US and Europe.

I feel like this is shooting themselves in the foot a bit. During covid, maybe you could argue Dems were more likely to mail in vote due to there being a pandemic, but now? It’s old people doing most of the mail-in votes. Old people are more likely to be Republicans.

5 point scales are dumb because there’s too much ambiguity with 2s and 4s. Since everyone has an inconsistent definition of what those mean, they don’t really mean anything. Knowing that intuitively, people spam 5s and 1s because those are unambiguous.

3 or even 2 point scales are better. Dislike, Neutral, Like / would not recommend, would maybe recommend, would always recommend or just removing the middle option to push people off the fence.

Me, a socialist: nationalize critical industries

Also me: wait not like that

Death’s Door on switch. It’s a cute little soulslike where you play a crow who reaps souls. It has good gameplay and a nice style.

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.

Are they making fun of how she looks? Yeah, sure. But they’re really making fun of the fact that she chose to look like that. It’s about the freakish nature of all the people in Trump’s orbit. They’re like the fucking godhand from Berserk - evil, inhuman, freaky looking, etc.

Its a whole spectacle that I think media is afraid to talk about (sure Trump = orange, but… why?) - it’s worth interrogating why all these people get super obvious plastic surgery/fake appearance related things. Trump’s crazy bad spray on tan and shitty toupee, giuliani’s classic bleeding hair dye, all the various women in the Trump admin with their fake everything, gaetz with his crazy botox and facelift… the list just goes on.

“What’s with that?” Is a super valid question

That’s a very good point. I still prefer air poppers because it prevents burning the kernels, but a pot would totally work.

Breakfast: oatmeal

Snacks: popcorn (air popped, buy kernels. Need I recommend an air popper, but they’re like 20 bucks. Then you can eat cheap popcorn forever). Bonus tip: if you can get your hands on a cheap electric coffee/spice grinder or want to grind seasonings by hand into an extremely fine powder, you can make popcorn salt that coats the popcorn really nicely. E.g. curry popcorn (salt + curry powder), lemon pepper, ranch (get ranch dressing powder). Spritzing with a fine mist of water can help the salt stick.

Lunch/Dinner:

• Fried rice (egg, whatever meat/veg, I like doing soy sauce glazed canned sardines with it for a cheap meal)

• Red beans and rice

• Chicken & sausage gumbo over rice

• Enchiladas, rice, beans

• Rotisserie chicken tacos

• Collard greens and cornbread, you can add bacon or other cheap cuts of pork to add protein.

• Pasta bake (chicken, spinach, pesto, white sauce, little cheese, optionally dried tomatoes - dry them in your oven to save money or buy canned for a little more)

• Korean rice bowls. Chicken, gochujang (like $5-8 but lasts a long time in the fridge), red pepper flakes, ginger, garlic, vinegar, sesame oil. Marinate overnight. Cook on stove or in oven. Serve on rice with side dishes: carrot and cucumber banchan - just get some matchstick carrots, combine with vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, chili flakes. Cucumbers: slice thin, salt, drain. Combine with sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, red pepper flakes. Assemble.

• Filipino style Chicken Adobo (potatoes, carrots, chicken, onion, garlic, ginger cooked in a vinegar soy sauce based sauce)

• Make like 200 pierogis for like 20 bucks (and several hours) and freeze them for later. Boil or pan fry and eat with a sausage and some saurkraut. For fillings, I like a little ground meat with onion and mushroom and saurkraut - 1 part meat, 1 part mushroom, 1 part onion. Even cheaper is potato and cheese - typically this means mashed potato mixed with sour cream and cheese.

• Cabbage rolls. Head of cabbage, rice, ground pork, onion, garlic, a couple cans of tomato soup. Cook rice, mix with ground pork, diced onion, and garlic. Dunk cabbage head in boiling water for a minute or two, peel a leaf off, stuff with pork mixture and roll. Put all rolls in a baking pan on a layer of the tomato soup, top with tomato soup. Bake covered mins or until cooked (165f internal temperature)

• West African Peanut Stew. Lots of recipes online. Contains a mix of peanuts, peanut butter, sweet potatoes, collard greens, chicken/veggie stock, and optionally chicken. Very filling, calorie dense, and cheap. I make like 2kg of soup for <$20.

In general, if you want cheap food then look for cultures with rich food traditions born from poverty. Also look for more plant-based recipes or find ways to stretch your meat using fillers like cabbage and onion.

Examples: Louisiana Cajun, American South, India (at least the more modest dishes without lots of meat and cream/butter), Eastern Europe, Central and South America, even provincial French food & British “food” (I jest, but bubble & squeak or bangers & mash have fed many a hungry family)

Staple foods should include:

• Staple Starches: potatoes (sweet potatoes and normal potatoes), rice, corn, beans, lentils

• Chicken (whole raw or rotisserie) - benefit of a whole raw chicken is you can use the whole carcass to make stock and get enough meat for 2 people for a whole week. Rotisserie is the same deal, but precooked and not best suited for all applications.

• Filler vegetables: basically all of your cruciferous vegetables, onions, root vegetables

oh no why shreks dick in the toothpaste

I dont think they will accept his gf as a return though

Yep! I have a container of it to make otherwise non-melting cheeses melt smoothly.
