What are we thinking so far?
I tried Qobuz streaming but for a product that advertises discoverability it does a very poor job of it. Bandcamp has far better discoverability UX.
Music purchases on Qobuz on the other hand are chef’s kiss. They have almost everything apart from the rare artist who ONLY distribute through Spotify for whatever reason.
I am NOT advocating for violence. But I know that the moment the child of an elected U.S. representative dies by gunshot is the only way this country will ever ban guns.
Whee!!! Let’s gooooooo!!!!
I see how it could be uncomfortable. From one internet stranger to another, I hope you know it’s appreciated. That kind of empathy already goes a long way. It might not come out that way but I see it from here.
Some real advice for situations where you’re not quite sure how to address the ethnicity topic: you could just ask if they grew up in . If they say no, they might tell you where they grew up. If not, let it pass. Not everyone wants to talk about where they grew up. 1st generation+ Asians can be all over the place on comfort with their identity.
Also, if the vibes aren’t there, they might just not want to talk. That’s fine too.
They’re about even. Offline, people can obviously tell I’m Asian so it doesn’t make much sense to say “I’m Asian”. On the internet, I prefer a certain level of anonymity so I just go with Asian.
It’s super diverse in my city. So identifying with my ethnicity is generally an easy way to connect with others. They don’t even have to share my ethnicity. People love to ice break on ethnicity and I don’t mind that as long as they’re not trying to be weird about it.
I am Asian. There are Japanese restaurants in my city run by white people and I don’t consider it cultural appropriation. Cultural acceptability is a wide spectrum.
Appreciate this very thoughtful mod response. It’s easy to get too wrapped up on yes/no answers when reality is far more fuzzy and complicated than that.
As an AAPI, I didn’t see anything more to this than a funny little nod to the people who actually prepare ethnic cuisines in countries not of their origin.
The drama with PieFed this month was exhausting. Sorry you had to deal with that @Demigodrick@lemmy.zip. As always, appreciate the updates!
Hope a warm summer is kicking in nicely for ya!
Thank you for sharing names. Easy blocks and reports. The irony was clearly lost with this guy and his concept of “compassion”.
I’m very much in favor of naming and shaming. I think the average person can figure out that more than one mysogynistic idiot exists. And it would be a great public service to know who to block.
Good enough
Removed the boiler from my Gaggia Classic and it was a humbling experience to learn just how much scale can build up even on RO water.
Ultimately wasn’t able to get the boiler looking squeaky even after 2 hours of sitting in descale solution. Is that probably fine? I just rinsed and brushed it until I didn’t see any more visible scale flakes coming off. Flow is back to normal as far as I can tell.
