You don’t like butter block?
Avocados aren’t really supposed to be sweet. More like savory, with that buttery texture. They’re really good on toast, no matter what the boomers say.
Others have made some good suggestions. Salt, pepper, chili sauce or sriracha. A fried egg if you want it. Top notch.

The end goal is probably a vat that billionaires can hook their brains into at the end of their lives so they never die.
That probably has something to do with their push for virtual reality and the ‘metaverse’ (fuck zuck for appropriating the greek language for his pet project; I used to use that word to describe a sort of hypothetical hyperdimensional multiverse where “spirits” inhabit 4D/5D topologies).
Oh and why they’re training AI agents in “environments” now (basically, 3D-scanned renderings of real life spaces).
If they can put all the pieces together before they die, then they can hook their brains into these computers and control a little avatar so they never have to die and can continue making our lives hell (at least as long as they maintain ownership of private capital, or until we seize the means of production and redistribute the wealth).

We do not, in fact, know enough to say there’s no consciousness at that level.
Anyone who tells you that is being intellectually dishonest.

That’s fucked up though. What happened to bioethics and review boards?
We don’t understand enough about human consciousness to say that those cells aren’t sentient. We have no idea what sort of experience, if any, they’re perceiving.
This is not okay…

I think they sense the temperature of the metal, so after it plateaus at boiling point it knows when all the water is absorbed because the temperature starts rising again.

If you wash on cold it doesn’t matter. Warm wash might matter if the colored fabrics are new, and depending on the dye process.
Washing colors with whites on hot, especially if the colors are new, is how you get dye bleed

But it’s especially primes, cause they can’t even fit in a rectangle unless it’s 1×
- Comment on Just one more square bro 4 days ago:
Okay, but none of that applies to waffles. They said they wanted more squares for syrup, but they actually got more unused space on the waffle surface.
I guess I’m not the “figure out how to fit a prime number into a square” kind of autistic, I’m the “why would you want to do that” kind of autistic.
To me, square numbers are beautiful because of how harmoniously they can be arranged, and prime numbers are beautiful because of how unique and impossible to neatly arrange they are. Trying to treat one like the other feels like an itch that can’t be scratched…

Do I need to tap the sign?
You raised the packing coefficient by ⅝ to squeeze one extra square in with all that wasted space, so don’t argue that 25 squares has a packing coefficient of 5. Another ⅜ will get you an extra 8 squares, and no wasted space.

Literally already addressed that, but go off

My autistic ass can’t comprehend why anyone would want to arrange a prime number in a square pattern…
- Comment on Just one more square bro 5 days ago:
But you can fit 25 squares into the same space. This isn’t efficiency, it’s just wasted space and bad planning.

You think the russian federation isn’t a fascist and and ultra-capitalist oligarchy/kleptocracy?
Cause that’s what you seem to be insinuating when you suggest that supporting NATO makes me a fascist…
The entire world-order (Yes, including the PRC and the BRICS bloc) is capitalist. I can be against capitalism, while also supporting the defense pact that enables Europe to maintain a unified front against russian imperialist aggression.
Because economies and political institutions, although deeply interconnected, are two different things. And russian fascism isn’t any better than american fascism.

Political parties are based on commonalities of persuasion. Democratic Socialism is primarily a political persuasion, but there are some countries with Democratic Socialist parties, which are obviously based on the persuasion. It wasn’t unclear, unless you’re deliberately trying to muddy the waters.
Both of those things are different from a political system, though. Social Democracies can have multiple political parties of various persuasions, because Social Democracy itself isn’t an individual party but a whole system within which various parties interact. There are social democratic parties, based on the goal of implementing policies that resemble how a social democracy would run.
The majority of Nordic countries are part of NATO. It’s a nasty terrorist organization.
Fucking vatnik.
You pretend to be progressive, but fail to see true progressivism.
Oh, so I guess “true progressivism” is Lenin ordering the Bolsheviks to assassinate all the Soviet leadership and replace them with sycophantic puppets because… he lost an election to them?
Millions die due to capitalism every year
I never denied that, and I don’t support capitalism.
I’m not sure why you’re not bringing that up as well.
Way to flip the fucking script. I brought up the deaths under Lenin et al as a response to you failing to mention them while pointing out the supposed deaths Social Democracy is allegedly responsible for. I even acknowledged that some western countries have committed war crimes, but I guess you’ll just breeze over anything that doesn’t reinforce your predetermined narrative?
Also, do note that you’re now defending capitalism.
I didn’t do that, but believe it or not I can be against bolshevism and capitalism. Not everyone is trapped in your narrow, campist worldview.

What did I say that was rude?
Also, you’re assuming I’m a liberal and that I haven’t read leftist theory. I understand what tankies are talking about enough to engage with it critically, which is apparently more than they do.
The best of the Democratic Socialist countries are still ran by child murdering shitbags
Do you mean Social Democracy countries? Because Democratic Socialism is a political party or persuasion, not a political system in its own right. What country is exclusively Democratic Socialist?
There are countries that are Social Democracies, and most of them have some of the best human rights track records out of all modern nations.
But if you want to cherrypick the most egregious examples of western nations and lump every western nation in with them under some collective guilt, while ignoring the infractions, crimes, and atrocities of all the non-western and anti-western countries, then I suppose you could make the argument that Social Democracies are baby murderers. It wouldn’t be a very good argument, but that just describes the layers of distortion you would have to put it through to reach that conclusion.
But keep blaming the Nordic model for the crimes of the US, I’m sure that strategy will convince somebody, just not me.
Oh and by the way, do you want to mention the millions of deaths under Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot? Since apparently you’re juxtaposing “true” leftism against all the inferior or “untrue” leftisms as some sort of harbinger of moral superiority and respect for human lives?
