We're not going to take this lying down
The votes were not rigged, more reason for us to be ready.
Going out on a limb and saying "Midwesterner spotted"
Chicagoan checking in- I love that beer
New Belgium is amazing.
1554 is one of my favorites, and I introduced my friend to the Voodoo ranger series and that's how he left the land of domestic beers.
Thank you for your service. 🫡
Ooooh I want to get into home brewing! I joined the Lemmy community a few weeks ago.
I moved the Chicago for the entertainment industry, and I was pleasantly surprised by the beer here. I would say the difference between PNW and Midwest beers are that PNW likes to go big and bold- high ABV and IBUs. The Midwest likes to make beers that you can drink a lot of (Alagash White is a good one)
There should be a beer equivalent to the movie "Bottle Shock"
75% in fact!
Full disclosure, I'm a Seattle born beer enjoyed so I mainly drink microbrews, or what some folks have told me is "fancy beer".
My parents moved to the PNW from California in the 80s, and they were amazed at the sheer amount of options. Back then it really was just Bud, Coors, and PBR, but even back then the microbrew scene was budding in Portland and Seattle. My dad would tell me how when they would go back to visit old friends in California, it was either amazing wine of shit beer. People's minds were blown when they would bring some stuff down from up north to the party.
I think this brings up another good point- some states do MUCH better than others. From what I've seen, the best beers come from the West Coast (especially the Northwest), the Mountain West, Midwest, and Northeast.
Someone here said they hated the beers in Texas and yea, like don't expect a great authentic taco scene in North Dakota. The worst beer I've ever had was from Florida.
In multi-fediverse theory, there are infinite fediverses where any and every possibility of fediverse exists.
Well that wasn't very Mr Rogers of them
Imo the old Macintosh design is the 1969 VW Beetle/ bus of computers. ✌️☮️🌼
Maybe we just call ourselves "antfash" and if they ask we are just really into dressing up ants?
Heaven is a peanut farm
One for you and me
With friends and music, banquets and balls
And a good man named Jimmy
.
Heaven is a peanut farm
Surely it's the best
There's a porch with a sleeping dog
One where you can find rest
.
They say there is a man out there
Who made sure every heart he would fill
When God said "it's okay, you can stop your work now"
He said "no, I don't think I will"
.
When you come to this peanut farm
You will be filled with this delight
Friends and family, we gather 'round
To wish Mr. Carter goodnight

Before this year, I was absolutely anti-gun. I'm a teacher, and it chills me that every time I enter a classroom I think "how the hell am I going to get these kids out of here if shit goes down". That's how I start my Monday's.
Owning a gun at home is statistically more dangerous to you or someone you love than to an intruder.
Most school shooters are taken down by unarmed teachers who work together.
But we aren't facing intruders or school shooters. We are facing the proud boys, Jan6ers, and now the federal government. I normally don't believe in violence and weapons either, but the context has changed and now we cannot rely on promises of public officials to keep us safe. We cannot rely on the police to keep us safe (as if we could before). We cannot rely on any market force to keep us safe.
Only we can keep us safe. This shit is getting real, and for those of us who are most likely staring down the barrel of a fascists gun, we can't just let that happen.
I hate that this is the reality.
I should never have to consider these things.
But in America, every conservative and their mom is carrying, and we in the cities have been complacent. Obviously you are not from America. You don't understand the sheer amount of guns here. Sadly it's creating a feedback loop and to sit unarmed is to be a sitting duck in a civil war/ genocide situation.
The time for the idealism of pacifism is done. If you are neutral you are on the side of the oppressor.
