This is a good example of how fascists and right wingers can ruin anything and everything. Bharat is a name with a shit ton of really fascinating history behind it. But let nationalists claim it as theirs and theirs alone, and it will eventually be just as ruined as the swastika.

I can't do the sugar into cold tea thing. It won't dissolve quick enough to work for me. But I've found sweet n low or Splenda work pretty well. Though generally these days I just drink water, due to the aforementioned foot loss phobia.

I can't make it that sweet anymore. We tend to use 1.5 cups, but I haven't made tea myself in a few years. When out, I'll order it half and half since I got the sugars. Don't wanna lose no foots.

Honestly, same. :/

You're back!

What is that, a 30 gallon trashcan? 2 cups of sugar per gallon of tea, that'd be 60 cups. Google says 11.5 cups per 5 lb bag. 5.3 bags, or 26.5 pounds of sugar.

We make ours with 1 and a half cups, so a little better. When I was a kid, though, my church used to host Wednesday night dinners, and they had a similarly sized dispenser for tea.

Oh, I do know him. Just didn't make the connection. Which was dumb of me. Lol.

Unfamiliar with Terrance. Splain?

This is the future we deserve. Everyone wears a ball gown, everyone can fuck anyone who's down. Transhumanist mushroom future is the future we need.

On my main account (this is my alt while startrek.website purges the intake manifold) I just blocked the bots that repost reddit shit, and I go to different instances, find their local communities and sub. My lemmy is fricking vibrant.

"No More Single Use Products"

Excellent rant! 10/10, please rant more! Thoroughly enjoyable, and educational!

Found the theories a few years ago, desperately hoping we find the reality at some point

Sometimes I wonder if they're the last sane people on the planet. Then I remember we have antibiotics, and my mom has a power wheelchair, and I wonder if there can't be some middle ground.

Okay, cool. I've been trying to log in for hours (using jerboa and connect) and for real worried. Haha. Had to log into my alt to come check things out. Glad to see all is okay. Geordie and Data will have things running in no time, I'm sure.

Know anything about running a community? I'd join! I'd offer to make it, but I pretty much exclusively use mobile, and I'm not sure how to mod via mobile.

Man do I miss r/Hinduism! Also the advaita vedanta sub and a few others. Have you found any good lemmy communities for Dharmic philosophies?

My mom is disabled and uses a power chair (that does not fold. Medicare won't pay for sensible things like that). Our choices were saving up to buy a wheelchair van, which is so far outside of our means that it may as well cost a million dollars, or buy a pick up truck and a set of ramps. We searched for months and months for anything small, and could not find it. Eventually went with a Nissan frontier, a 2012, so the larger model. I'd kill for one of these little things. Would be perfect for us.

It's very fun. Try it out on some people. Lol.

He wasn't even really a social democrat, to be honest. He bowed to the pressure of the socialist party at the time to prevent an actual fucking revolution (even if it would have been unsuccessful). Fdr understood that actual socialism would come knocking at the door if he didn't capitulate. Clearly the best president we've had (in economic terms) in the mostly modern era, but he wasn't as progress as people believe.

Edit

Also, tf is a "left" communist in this context? That's not generally a term used, and when it is, it's normally to point out the distinction between anarchists and Marxists, as in Lenin's "left-wing communism."

Is this chart claiming FDR was an anarcho-communist? Because... No. LMAO
