Sad to see the history and culture of our great country being ripped apart with the removal of our beautiful statues and monuments. You.....

And the GOP will do nothing of substance. This I predict.

    The man is completely out of control. He still truly believes that the Washington/Jefferson comparison was actually a good argument. You can tell how proud he is of that one. So embarrassing. All of it.

    I'm really hoping this finally, finally silences the years and years of people making excuses for the GOP.

    Because really, if this isn't enough to be able to definitively call a spade a spade, what in the hell would be?

    Nothing. They believe that the alternative to their Dominion capital D is the triumph of evil and the reign of hell.

    This morning, over on the book of face, someone asked how they can hate the Nazis while also hating communism.

    It is that kind of ignorance that will keep this timeline alive for much longer than we can afford.

    Because extremism and crazy comes in many forms?

    It's more the implication that Nazi's and communism are the same thing.

    One is an economic system that is profoundly flawed in many ways, just like every other pure economic system in existence.

    The other is based on completely unfounded and irrational beliefs of one kind of human being's fundamental superiority over all others and is evil to its very core.

    Other than the contemporaneous rise in history, they are fundamentally two different things. This guy, in the substance of his full post, seemed completely oblivious to that information.

    Well, I mean, socialist and communist are the same thing and it's right in the name. #helping

    Just because one of the "s"s in USSR was socialist does not mean their government practiced proper socialism, or communism, for that matter, but that representation and it's vilification has been detrimental to any "socialist" program in our country for the last 50 years or so, including education, healthcare, infrastructure, etc., etc., etc.

    Equating social principles with Nazis and "the Red Devil" of communism is one of the most deeply rooted principles of fearmongering against liberal agendas. If the left is going to move forward, NOT separating the economic principles of one from the bigotry and hatred of the other cannot continue. And yet, it does.

    Just to be clear, that was #sarcasm from me.

    I figured as much, but that statement is said so often in earnest, it bears repeating sometimes. I guess I was probably on a bit of tear yesterday, at any rate.

    Totally fine, I forget how weirdly stuff reads when there's no tone or body language or facial expression to go with it.

TIL that some languages apparently have words inherently differentiating one's status as a citizen or resident of the entity versus a member of a particular ethnic or cultural group? I don't quite grasp the whole thing, although I heard the point being made. What's interesting to me is a) that there is such a thing, which seems very revealing of something about a culture that would need such concepts built into the language, and b) that there seem to be people who think it's inaccurate to interpret the word choice as meaningful. Firstly, since languages have all sorts of concepts built into them, many very specific to their primary culture of use, it seems reasonable that such a thing could exist. Not that I would have thought of it before, since I'm not from a culture where that sort of subtlety functions. Secondly, if that is, indeed, the subtlety of the word choices, where one essentially and inherently includes people, and the other excludes, then I'd kind o...

Took this canning class tonight because I was hoping to learn more about technical and scientificky stuff with canning. I unendeared myself to the instructor early on after they said that you had to use a sugar syrup to can peaches because it stopped botulism (multiple people wanted to know if you could just use water). Upon which I enquired as to the mechanism whereby it prevented the release of botulinum toxin from the spores? I mean, I actually would have liked an answer to that question because there seems to be some serious debate as to whether or not sugar is really performing any preservative function whatsoever in various foodstuffs of the long stored kind. Needless to say, I got a rather snappish and uninformative answer back. I've found a little info by looking things up, like 38% sucrose or 22% glucose solutions inhibit growth of the spores in a lab setting. Nobody sits there and tries to calculate out an actual percent refined sugar solution, though, when they make a si...
