I know a lot about Trust and safety after doing it for 40 years - 20 years of that working on dating sites doesn't help the nightmares.

#Brazil and #Vietnam are in #BRICS, they are #1 and #2 behind #Colombia for #coffee production.
Colombia grows Arabica, the price is already nuts because of a bad world crop. An additional 25% to 50% tariff on Colombian imports is insane and it will only hurt Americans.

John Roberts is very upset that the public has lost confidence in John Roberts and the institution John Roberts leads following a series of confidence-cratering actions by John Roberts and his colleagues, and therefore would like everyone to know that this is not John Roberts' fault, it's yours.

I spent a few hours today working out how to turn my Stella Lumens into real money and have finally cashed in the #free #crypto I got from #Keybase many years ago.
And so - Here's a free advert:
Hey everyone, use Keybase. It works sometimes (probably, I think?) and it once gave out free money.

Cassidy Hutchinson is one of the many people on Trash Patel's hit list.
Her "crime"?
She testified before the j6 committee. She was pressured by Trump's camp to downplay what she knew. She did not.
This is one of the many reasons Trash Patel cannot have any role in law enforcement.

I, like many of you, have been contemplating our predicament since election night.
We are in a losing war for our democracy and I'm not sure we collectively know who our true adversary is.
It's not the voting blocks...white women, Latinos, Gen X. It's not MAGA. It's not even Trump.

~400 compounds are found in raw ginger, including gingerol—a relative of capsaicin (chillies) & piperine (peppers)—which activates spice/heat receptors on the tongue. When dried, gingerol forms the more pungent shogaol, and when cooked it forms less pungent zingerone

As a European looking in, American #politics seems to be an endless cycle of voting in the guilty-pleasure white male power leader who makes them feel good. Realising the economy is broken so voting in someone sensible for a term or two. Then going back to another generic hateful snakeoil salesman.
