I think it's frustration with younger men falling for the right-wing BS and throwing their support behind those causes. My generation went apathetic and nihilistic, not right wing.

Tankies just want their own dear leader to oppress people under.

To shreds, you say?

But what if they hold him in contempt in El Salvador "by accident"?

It shouldn't be allowed for contracts of adhesion (take or leave it contracts for consumers). Mandatory binding arbitration should be limited to business to business negotiated contracts.

That's self-interest, not self-actualization. Part of self-actualizing is realizing you aren't the center of the universe.

I think it's a deeper disillusionment with the economy. Anyone who isn't truly rich is coming to the conclusion that it's becoming increasingly hard to get ahead in the economy over the long term, and the measures they use for economic health are becoming increasingly divorced from this reality. Things getting mildly better for some people over the recent past don't offset people's economic realities.

I've been there, it's pretty crazy. There are a bunch of anti-government rants in front of the entrance that you can't see from this picture, so this place has a pretty weird vibe.

A lot of gins can be categorized based on their flavor profile. Some common ones are juniper-forward, herbal, or citrus. A lot of the bigger names are more juniper-forward gins, and a lot of craft gins are citrus or herbal. The best way to figure out what gins you will like is to go to a good bar with a gin selection, and ask the bartender for recommendations that are similar to the one you liked. Also, learn to identify different flavors that you like or dislike. Often, you can find descriptions of different gins (and other spirits) either on labels or online.

Finally, don't be afraid to revisit something you didn't like in a few years. Your palate and preferences can and will change, and you might really like something you didn't enjoy before.

Now we just need a 6 hour hbomberguy video essay about Rajat Khare to really take this to the next level.

Isinglass is not used very much outside breweries trying to do really traditional British styles, because it's finicky and there are better and cheaper options. I'd say that the most common thing making beer non-vegan is adding adjuncts like lactose in milk stouts.

People should protest somewhere else and draw attention away from the parade, not add to it.

It's a poison pill to force strategic voting and push people towards candidates that are backed by money. Colorado turned down ranked choice voting, and a lot of it was due to a similar single-vote primary system being packaged with it to make it not work well for actually electing candidates the people want. Voting reform activists knew this and made sure enough people knew that ranked choice elections was a trojan horse for a bad single vote primary system.

There really isn't a legally defined way. Shaming and pressuring resignations are probably the best way that is legally unambiguous, but arguments could be made for things like blockading or other means of coercion

The Great North, if you want to watch a fun and wholesome cartoon.

It's because you have to use your water to keep water rights. Flood irrigating alfalfa is an easy way to use up a lot of water to keep the rights without having to manage more complex farms. The current way that water rights works creates perverse incentives.

It did what it was supposed to, which was distract from the Epstein files. The cost to us plebs is of no consequence to them.

It was combined with a top 4 jungle primary that was not ranked choice, which was why a lot of people who might have voted for it otherwise voted against it. It looked like a way to implement ranked choice while creating a system where less moderate candidates would be eliminated in the primary.
