Random hot take but so much of the Critical Role fandom miss the entire point of Veth as a character. And even hotter take I blame Matt Mercer because he clearly didn’t want to go there with her and it completely undercut her arc in a way that continues to make ppl misunderstand her character

The very same news sources also partially determine how much these things will matter electorally and it creates this sort of incestuous feedback loop.
I legitimately think one of the absolute poisons of American political discourse is how “but will this matter electorally” has become the only metric used by basically the entire non-partisan media for assessing a story’s importance

“Hi. I am [Name] and my zip code is [ZIP]. I am a longtime supporter of [SENATOR] but am calling to express my disappointment at [SPECIFIC THING]. I would like the Senator to do [OTHER THING] instead. Thank you”
This isn’t rocket science

Y’all, don’t be fucking dicks to staffers, it is neither nice nor particularly productive
You ever call a senator's office and ask the staffer who picks up what it's like to work for someone without a spine?
10/10 recommend.

I think American Test Kitchen or some other place needs to do a how to cook on high heat with an induction stove because I just find that it’s too good at staying at high heat and so it will burn unless I turn it down a bit

Random canned fish review, but I had Iberia's Sardines in Tomato sauce with a mushroom, bell pepper, onion stir fry and it was just ok, the sardine was kinda dry to me. It's an extremely cheap can but yeah sometimes you do get what you pay for.

There just needs to be a lot more education. There are bad actors in ml/ai and things that I personally don’t support but I think it’s bad that people are treating Natural Language Processing as the devil
