10·1 month agoI haven’t had cows milk in years. Somehow all my sauces and things are still turning out delicious! Lots of plant milk is flavored or sweetened. Buying regular/unsweetened almond or oat milk will work for most cases. I am extremely partial to oat milk and I would honestly drink a glass of it
DO NOT DO THIS TO YOURSELF
I mean the Wordpress founder alone should be enough. I work a lot w people migrating from Woocommerce and I have not been impressed. API routes that 500 randomly, horribly messy data, etc. That of course is my biased view based on a subset of Woo merchants. I invite anyone looking to migrate from Shopify to heavily weigh their options.
idk people have to agree in some smoky board room on the correct message and policy and run it by legal or something. i mean there are probably lots of ppl involved
“All merchants are responsible for following the rules of our platform. This merchant did not engage in authentic commerce practices and violated our terms so we removed them from Shopify,” the company told TechCrunch in a statement.
mmm delicious bland corporate platitudes
because they told their front line support to say “no comment” on matters unrelated to Shopify stores? it seems like they took the store down, which really has little to do with the influx of support tickets and calls they likely got. I worked support for years – this is amazingly unsurprising and I think the correct move, if they did indeed take down the store that is.

5·2 months agoI leveled with him today and said that I was really disappointed about our conversation and I wanted to talk about it more. I approached them from a place of wanting to understand their position but also make sure they had all the information. I presented everything calmly w wide ranging sources from PBS to the Cato Institute. It’s just a straight up bad idea to deport these people. I showed him that the Heritage Foundation had no actual fact or statistics on their website to support their claims – just that illegals are illegal – he found that compelling.
He ended up saying he was not super informed and that there’s so much propaganda and information overload that it feels like we can’t even know what’s real. Everyone’s lying or has an agenda. I totally get it.
We both got a lot out of it. I think it’s worth it to try engaging with people who are actually willing.
I talked to a friend about the deportations and he said he “doesn’t care” because they “broke the law.” I showed how it will hurt us economically, how these people aren’t committing crimes, how it will hurt real human beings. He said he didn’t care. I don’t know how to deal with that. This action will only create pain for everyone, hell even the elites may be minutely inconvenienced by it… why are we doing it?
Some people are legitimately so simple that “no paperwork == deportation” even if it means death and suffering. Even when they know that the “right way” to come here takes a decade and is too costly. It’s like humans have forgotten how to feel empathy. If I sat these people at the border and had them talk to the desperate mothers and fathers and children, would they be moved? How do you reason with someone that legitimately thinks “I don’t care if people die over paperwork”
It feels like we’re gleefully goose stepping toward “just following orders” and it’s horrific.
I think that was a good read. I think the problem I have is that if I look back at my 20 year old self or my 23-year-old self, I see someone that was extremely self assured but had almost 0 real world experience or context for decision-making about very important things.
I think it is disingenuous to absolve them of all blame, but I don’t think it’s inappropriate to say that it’s not surprising that they are young men given how easy it would be for someone who should be a role model to influence them. Elon Musk’s team is young so he can control them
To make it worse, we spend almost nothing on it. They are saving pennies:
The U.S. is the world’s largest donor of humanitarian aid by far. It spends less than 1 percent of its budget on foreign assistance, a smaller share overall than some other countries.
Of course I agree, but I said I wasn’t sure his actions were strictly unconstitutional.
Reading further, it seems I’m wrong:

Listen I hate Trump and basically everything he stands for. However, the executive has wide latitude in doling out, dividing up, and distributing funds. Congress writes a check and it’s up to the executive to implement the plan. The executive is a gigantic sprawling bureaucracy that exists as a necessity because Congress writes laws in “broad” strokes and leaves the minutiae up to the many executive agencies.
is this horrific? Yes. Is it unconstitutional? I have significant doubt

I am a man and I am affected 0% by this meme. This meme was a chance to display some empathy and understand why it might be that the bear analogy strikes a chord with many women.
When I go to the grocery store, do I have to think about being snatched? My privilege affords me the convenience of not worrying about that. Do I need to worry about being sexually assaulted walking home? Statistically, probably not. There are a whole host of problems and horrific fates that befall women disproportionately, and very often at the hands of men.
Why would a woman feel safer with a bear?
The 750,000 black bears of North America kill less than one person per year on the average, while men ages 18-24 are 167 times more likely to kill someone than a black bear.
Most attacks by black bears are defensive reactions to a person who is too close, which is an easy situation to avoid. Injuries from these defensive reactions are usually minor.
https://bear.org/bear-facts/how-dangerous-are-black-bears
Since 1784 there have been 82 fatal human/bear conflicts by wild brown bears in North America. Yellowstone National Park has seen a mere 8 since being established in 1872, which is only one more than the number of people who have died from a falling tree.

Seems to me that even I would be safer with a bear than a man. Makes you think, doesn’t it?
I haven’t said anything to you. I’m not telling anyone they’re wrong. It seems to me the bear discussion revolves around the fact that many if not most women are distrustful of men because of violence, misogyny, etc. Your subjective experience doesn’t change that, but neither is it invalid.
What are we comparing here? Cyberbullying to r*pe? Social exclusion to being thrown down the stairs? Not sure if you’re attempting to draw equivalences or minimize physical harm but that is how I read this
The word in this context is “censured” 💗
