Here is my intro thread 🧵 since I ended up on a couple of starter packs. So, Hi! My name is Daniel. I typically post about two things:
Toxic Christian Theology
Fermenting things, typically beer and wine

I don't know what Zoomer dating rules are. But most people act weird about how me and my wife started dating. We kind of knew each other via friends. Had a wild one night stand. She said never again. I respected that. She liked that. She pursued me later. It became a weekly fling. We fell in love.
Sorry but my parents were autists who met through a very pragmatic dating ad in a newspaper

I browned the chicken I seasoned earlier today after dredging in flour, and then made a creamy, Parmesan cheese sauce with garlic, Pinot Grigio, sundried tomatoes, and chicken stock. I simmered the chicken in the sauce to finish the dish.

Making a simple dish with sauteed orzo pasta, rice, vegetable stock, and spices including paprika, tumeric, and whatever else sounds good. Little bitter and olive oil into the saute and then cook like any other rice dish.

One of many reasons they hate cities is that a basic requirement for people to function efficiently at that density is getting them to accept that a lot of people are doing a lot of things in close proximity to you that are nevertheless not about you and not your business.
It's also an easy trap to fall into. I'm sure people have seen posts or heard people lamenting about people wearing slippers or comfy clothes in the grocery store. It becomes racist really easily when people dress in a way that doesn't match the majority's standards.

This may sound odd, but this is just fascism. Fascism is obsessed with appearance as a symbol of economic stability and prosperity. It's putting a uniform on the public for the aesthetics of the state.
Trump's Transportation Secretary on how to improve air travel:
"People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly... We want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season, help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

Today's tips: Salt meat you are going to cook 40 minutes to 24 hours in advance of cooking. You'll get better flavor and texture. Plan ahead. Meal prep is best when you think a day or two in advance.
Also, Invest in the growth of others. The strongest arm is the one that lifts someone up.

Elon made an AI powered fleshlight that anyone can use on him in public, but he never stopped to think what people would put into the fleshlight first.

Hand is tipped when it comes to 2028 and maybe even 2026.
The President of the United States is literally threatening opposing lawmakers with death for a video they made encouraging service members to refuse unlawful orders.
Trump posts again about Democrats, saying their behavior is “punishable by DEATH!”

Working on a presentation and I found a graphic about how using AI for everything is wrong, but using it for the right job is the correct application, and they used AI generated graphics to compare and I want to find the person who made this and toss them into the sun.

CAUTION: If you find AI in your IPA, you’re in immediate danger of being exposed to two of the most toxic forms of mansplaining in the English language! When combined, they are almost always FATAL!!!
I saw this same ad on the highway, so blockchain really is over in marketing. Guess this is what we’ve got now

Anakin Skywalker built a useless AI, then ended up betraying everyone and everything he loved after becoming one of the most evil people in the galaxy. Just saying.
Everyone wants "AI" to be R2D2 but is just C3PO. Shiny, often wrong, delivering messages, gets in the way, and on its best day, just translates things people haven't taken the time to figure out on their own.

Me: *drinking a glass of water*
Wife: How was the event?
Me: Cold. I couldn't find my truck jacket.
Wife: You mean the jacket abandoned in the truck? I hung it in the closet.
Me: But, why?
Wife: It's just clutter!
Me: No it's...where did my glass go?
Wife: Dishwasher. You were talking not drinking.

Courts are working so hard to keep their rulings protected from allowing SCOTUS to hand Trump a win they are going to start writing things like "...and if this ruling struck down, then Roberts will be immediately taken into custody and dropped headfirst into a bottomless pit."
Note: The court ruled that Texas violated the 14th and 15th Amendments by discriminating on the basis of race when drawing its new Republican gerrymander. So this opinion will not be fatally undermined by the Supreme Court's impending blow to the Voting Rights Act; it has an independent rationale.

I want one journalist on these live interviews to ask Bovino a couple of questions on air when he makes statements like this.
Ask him "If your motto is 'Honor First' why do your agents joke that it's 'On her first'?"
Ask him what the word "Tonk" refers to.
Then ask about his own criminals in BP

FOX: Here's a viral video of landscapers who were being addressed by a CBP agent. What do you say to people who say that falls outside the purview of getting criminals out?
GREG BOVINO: Martha, do we know the criminal records of those so-called landscapers?

My wife is not much of a flower person. She doesn't like the idea of gifts that die within a few days. However, my daughter loves flowers. Fortunately, they both love Legos. Compromise has been reached.

Since I've dealt with them for most of my life I'll try to explain:
1) Most are from, or stationed in the Southwest. They like tacos.
2) They think that folks will cower and give them what they want.
3) They love to whine and plot revenge when they don't get what they want.
4) They are very stupid.

I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served.
F that!
