For what it's worth, wetting paper filters is usually done with near boiling water in the chemex, so it IS preheated with the regular process. Preheated steel also won't retain as much heat. I don't disagree with your post as written, it just doesn't match the reality of what's usually done

Counter-argument, this is all correct, but when the application is against shopping mall criminals it will work well enough. Not talking masterminds here

This sounds incredibly legit, but question: Could you not gain a shit ton of momentum sailing directly with the wind in a regular boat, then drop your sails and steer into the direction of it to maintain some amount of velocity for an amount of time? Feels like the same principle could be applied here, especially because they would swap between photon momentum and gravitational momentum

This is great advice btw. I know amateurs and pros who swear by the "paint/draw one small piece every day" approach.

Counterpoint, if this dude can't complete a bachelor's yet he thinks he has "multiple Masters theses" he could complete "if only the system would let him", he is definitely unfit to be any type of manager at this stage.

I have similar focus issues and it sucks, but literally everyone in their early twenties feels this way at some point. I would agree with getting a job, or just focusing to complete any BA, having to compare one's skill set in a specific consistent thing against other people is important for a reality check

Counterpoint: If my existence as a marginalized individual has already been politicized by conservatives, then I lack the privileged position to simply "Make the point and shut up", which is what you are effectively suggesting. When my identity as a human being (by blood, not beliefs) has been made a political argument, then no I'm sorry, my identity is also political... and that has been forced on me. Nothing about that invalidates the points I have to make to argue for my continued existence.

All I'm saying is, you act like identity is an abstract thing from politics, but for some people it can never be. Just being quiet means they are still people arguing for your death.

It's a cat so my guess is they really like to swat at anything in their owners hand

But you must understand, this is just a lightly veiled anti "liberal" shill post ;)

You're allowed to be an authoritarian, just keep your boot licking to yourself, children shouldn't be victimized for your ideological beliefs
