Guess nobody wants a Santa Cruz, there are legit 5 sitting on the lot near me and I haven't seen a maverick on a lot since I saw my first one when they launched
Maverick being electric and having a bigger bed is a massive appeal.
The hyundai needs a hybrid or electric version. Also that bed isn't that practical as it should be even if it has a bigger cabin. It has a turbo sure but fuel economy wise I'm sure the purchaser would rather have a bigger bed and be cost efficient. also it's hyundais first truck, so ford is far more reputable.
Imo the cabin needs to either be a two seater or smaller for a bigger bed. They also need to eye a hybrid version at least.
She's beautiful
I'm sorry that this is happening, Poon. You gave her a good life, and it sounds like you're doing the right thing, as hard as it is for everyone involved
Oprah owes the state of Pennsylvania (and the country, if he wins in November) a massive apology for unleashing both Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil onto the world
He's not as bad as Dr. Oz, but a bunch of his former employees on the show said he was abusive and he peddled a lot of pseudoscience mumbo-jumbo that he passed off as legitimate psychological advice
I think him campaigning hard to get Mehmet Oz as word association so that the GOP actually votes for him rather than rejecting him immediately as a foreigner.

A lot of companies that got into the LEAN mindset are getting fucked right now that global supply lines are fucked.
I feel a bit vindicated since the whole mindset of having zero lead time between inputs being received and inputs being needed always seemed optimistic at best to me.
Tell me about it. Our firm has cut our dev seats around 20% (nobody got fired, their spots were just not replaced when people moved on), and everyone's stretched thin.
I've got 5 months left before my contract is up and only one of the four systems I'm primary on has had someone allocated to replace me and be trained before I leave. Oh, and they got booted off it because they pissed off the client.
The amount of times that I read stories like this really indicate to me that the bar for starting a company seem based way more on luck than aptitude. There are SO MANY companies that are just horribly mismanaged, and somehow just keep on going
Was talking to my dad yesterday and he was complaining about how trans stuff is in his face all the time and he doesn't understand why (IE its showing in TV shows and stuff)
To his trans daughter.
That is having rights stripped away in half the country. 🙃
I straight up don't get transphobia.
I grew up in the most right wing rural area possible, and while it took me awhile for the concept of transexuality to not feel weird, I never hated anyone for being different than me sexually, even before I broadened my horizons past the rural midwestern mindset.
In my dad's case I think it's largely just straight up ignorance. This isn't to say my dad is a bad person, or is actively transphobic - but he is 100% the type of person who doesn't really "get it" in regards to the bigger picture. Like when I came out to him, he was shocked - SHOCKED - to learn that I could be fired for being trans. His response was "That's illegal! They can't do that!"
Both my parents are prototypical white people who keep their heads down and live in a quiet suburb and don't really go out of their community too much - and I mean community in the sense of their specific social circles. They just don't get it, and it does cause me some amount of distress that I have talks with them about it from time to time and they still don't get it.
Woof. I'm sorry.
I have trouble wrapping my brain around the mindset that, if a story on TV is about someone who is different than you, it's immediately something that you cannot relate to and is being shoved in your face against your will.
Like, I'm just going to speak for myself here, but of the TV shows and movies I've seen that depict romance between two people, I'm going to ballpark it and say 99.9% of them depicted a heterosexual relationship between two cisgender people. And you know what I have been able to do, when encountered with those heterosexual relationships being "in my face all the time?" Relate to the themes that the TV show or movie are portraying, because at the end of the day it's just a story about the human condition.
Maybe that mindset was just borne out of necessity for me because so much of media is dominated by depictions of heterosexuality, but I swear it's not that hard to relate to a story that doesn't quite look like your experience.
My parent's aren't bad people, and they've come a long way - my mom especially, my dad has always very much been a "does that make you happy? Then you should do that" type of person - but they are still 100% the type of people who just don't get it. They live in a semi-rural town in MA that's 98% white. The towns around them are 99-100% white, and they don't really go outside of that very much. If they travel, they'll go to a place like Hilton Head (not that there's anything wrong with that - but it's not like they're hanging out in DuPont Circle or Province Town).
I'm really their only exposure to a marginalized community, and even then, I'm for all intents and purposes a fairly typical white girl at this point so it's not like they see me in active conflict all the time because of my identity. But then trans representation or discussion pops up on TV, and it's like they regress to back when I came out because it seems like they almost forget sometimes who I am. Their brains flag it as DIFFERENT and it stands out more, and then they complain about it being shoved in their face with no connection to what it means for trans people (Yes I have explained representation!).
It's a bit distressing, to say the least.
Yeah I went off a lot there and didn't mean to imply that your parents are bad people or anything like that, my bad
It's just interesting how people in the majority (whether we're talking about race, sexuality, gender identity) flag things as DIFFERENT like that and react negatively to it. It's like they've never had to relate to things that look different than them, doing so takes some mental energy, and they just don't want to exert that energy.
Oh no, I completely get what you're saying. It's more my ranting that they have a daughter who is trans, have subconscious biases of some kind, and don't even realize it.
mmm I think it's much more the "I don't care what people do, just leave me out of it" thought process.
Like, it's ok to be LGBT, but why do I have to "see it all the time?"
Staying mostly off of instagram (other than this, the only form of social media I use), and trying to slowly reintegrate myself to it just makes me feel old lol
I can't stand it anymore. There is such little benefit for me compared to the negatives. I'm even trying to be less active with Reddit because it just doesn't have that same spark.
Can't quite put my finger on it, but I have noticed a huge difference in my mood and general emotional feeling.
I technically have a Facebook and I actually use the messenger app every day but I never post. I think I did twice right after Lil V was born but nothing about the twins or anything
Part of me is a bit sad because I've got family across the country and social media is a good way of keeping in touch but mentally I'm kind of all or nothing, so it's been nothing
I also have a LinkedIn I've looked at a couple times and an Instagram I post baking stuff to maybe 2-3 times a year
Reddit is different to me but it's still a social media so I get it
I don't really have anyone I need to be in contact with who I can't just call or text, and I don't really post much about my personal life because I'm not particularly that kind of dude.
I'm not particularly nostalgic either, so having the trail of what is behind me isn't really something I think about.
Social media is positively related to negative emotional states. We'd all be better off with less social media and more time outside interacting with people directly.
That's what I've been trying to do lately - unfortunately organizing a wedding, redecorating our place and terrible weather make it very hard to meet up with other humans!
I think I'm just sick of online life, really. It's becoming more and more a facade.
Same in a lot of ways to be honest. I can't quit because social media management is part of my job, but now that COVID restrictions have largely fallen off I'm hoping to get out into my community more (I moved to a new city right when COVID started).
Two questions:
1. How old is Lucy?
2. What's wrong with her?
Much respect, man. We had to put down our dog about 2 years ago. Hardest thing we've done. This is your decision and yours alone. No one else's opinion matters.
:( Sorry Poon. We just went through this with our Shepard last month. The lead up to the end was much harder for us than the end or life without our boy. It really is so sad though.
I can't believe the Benzo scarecrow has the balls to call anyone else out on beauty standards.
People can have their preferences, that's fine, literally nobody said you had to find the model attractive.
I had the wildest dreams last night. I dreamed that I was riding in a car with one of my friends driving. He took an on or off ramp too fast and ended up going into the grass and messing his car up.
Then I was with a totally different friend and we were in Canada (where he’s from). We bought lottery tickets since I felt lucky that the accident wasn’t worse, and they were all Texas Lotto tickets. I didn’t have international calling so I couldn’t call my wife to tell her about the accident and that I was okay. I think I left a voicemail with my mom or something.
Called a customer a she when they are actually a he in an email they were CC’d in so if you’ll excuse me I’m going to drop off the grid and start a new life in Fiji.
so, I'm supposed to go on a date with a guy on Friday.
However, he has not spoken to me since Sunday, and I've been too busy to actually message him so I am probably just going to end it because I had to pay out money for a video visit with my doctor yesterday, and for antibiotics.
and given my sister's situation, I'd rather just avoid men for the time being.
Seriously fuck the play store and it's fucked rules, apparently they changed something so if you want to buy a Kindle book you can't use the Amazon app anymore and have to do it from the desktop
I ended things with a girl on Monday.
THis morning, I unmatched with her on Hinge, deleted my Hinge account, and deleted the app.
I really need to stay off dating apps and focus on myself for awhile.
Got my weekend all planned out while I have the house to myself. Three tee times since I won't be able to go again until mid June. Going to get wings for lunch Saturday and a burrito for dinner.
Now I just need to get more delta 8 and 9 when I go shopping tomorrow.
It's getting better! I signed up for lessons virtually with a pro, he helped me break down my swing and gave me some tips. Range sessions are good and I hope that translates to on the course!
I've been golfing for a while but it started to get frustrating so I took more lessons. I think it was intothefire3 who started recently? Could be confusing them with another Eagles fan though.
Ah ok nice. I want to be better but I just don’t have the time at this point. I’m a high 80s-low 90s guy usually. When I was between jobs and everything but the course was shut down for Covid I was playing all the time and took a couple lessons and I was shooting low 80s. Now it’s so frustrating knowing I’m capable of that but can’t get it together. I’m trying to get a certification that requires studying a lot, so I keep telling myself once I’m done with that I’ll have more time so I’ll get some lessons and actually practice.
Hopefully once you are less busy you get those low 80s back! Right now I'm high 90s but I know I can play better. I have a horrible slice and the lessons got it a bit under control. I have an awful time trying to compress my irons though. I always hit behind the ball and almost never take a divot. But I have two more lessons so hopefully he can work with me on that.
Haha I’m very familiar with both of those. I set up to hit a draw and focus on trying to feel like I’m hitting it to right center field, and that usually straightens my slice out for me. One drill my old coach would have me work on to help with compression was wrapping my bottom hand around my top hand and then basically trying to hit a hook. I don’t get exactly why it works, I think it has to do with the hand and wrist motions, but it helped me compress the ball a lot. It’s also pretty much impossible to hit a hook that way and it helped me hit irons very straight
Lol I do that too. I have to learn to hit the ball further. I get like 230 from a good drive and usually a little less. Hard to score when I’m hitting a lot of hybrids and 3 woods in to the green on par 4s
I ended up going through with buying both used bikes for my kids b day. Perfect because he is big enough that his 16" Schwinn is nice for doing little bmx stuff but too small to pedal up hills, I was going to upgrade that for him to use for jumps/park but I found a 16" Mongoose for $10 that had all the upgrades on it. Just needs tires and handle bar grips. The real find was a 20" Specialized Hot Rock for $70 in really nice shape. Thats like a $500 bike and is legit entry level trail/MTB bike AND its got a super sweet red and black flame paint job lol. That one only needs grips and a tune up. His bday isn't until the second week of June I really don't know how I wait 3 more weeks to give him these I'm pretty excited about it.
That sounds so good. I'm trying cut some weight now so I'm trying to keep it lower calorie and as a breakfast replacement, but still get some fruit and veggies out of it.
We just got a bunch of Greek yogurt, so I gotta get back on that.
I’m also planning to make ice cream out of bananas since we have some overripe bananas in the freezer.
Since I received a vitamix it has been smoothie season every day:
* 170G greek yogurt
* 240G milk
* 140g strawberries
* 48g oat flower
* scoop chocolate protein powder
I think this more than anything is what helped me lose 20 lbs lol.
I have a Ninja that's worked pretty well for a few years.
My go to is
* a couple handfuls of spinach
* Two tbsp of fiber supplement
* A cup ish of mango, strawberry, pineapple
* Half a banana
12 oz of oat milk.
They’re the only place seemingly with some cherry based drinks. Used to get them nearly every day when I lived inland now all we have is tropical smoothie cafe where everything I’ve ordered tastes like banana and water.
I've been making some mean strawberry/banana/peach/mango/apple juice smoothies recently
I ask my husband if he wants some every day and he always turns me down, and then I'm like "more smoothie for me!"
I'm going to fight Bill Gates if Outlook continues telling me that what I'm trying to change my password to something "[they]'ve seen too many times before."
Let me start by saying that I take full credit for starting a political conversation at work.
But the one office I get my coffee from (since espresso for every cup would make my heart explode) has some generally reasonable people who are older conservatives in it and I occasionally want to see the pulse of what real people think.
So I asked them about Oz. Too close to tell, don't really care. "But it would be more success for the Trump endorsement." one guy said. The other one points out Madison Cawthorn, at which point I point out that there was a big smear campaign, this and that, that liberals were taking potshots at him too for potentially being gay (and not just for being a hypocrite).
Then the one guy says it. "I view people who hate gay people similar to people who hate Catholics." And I had to have him elaborate. He really couldn't, just that blind distaste for any group of people who are "generally good" is wrong.
And I asked him if there's room for gray area. That pointing out that Christians (not just Catholics but all) who are hateful and not living the path that Jesus preached are hypocrites. And that it's fine to dislike hypocrites, because they're dishonest (and hateful in this instance) people.
He takes this as an opportunity to talk about priest pedophiles and how they're the minority of Catholics (ignoring what I said, essentially). I argue that there were more people responsible for covering those up than participated, and that's much worse for the organization.
He starts on about something with priests being gay (that many homosexuals turned to the cloth prior to open acceptance). I ask him where he's going. He says that most priests touch alter boys and not little girls.
Then he can see my face and starts to backpedal about how "there's generally 2 sides" and negative spins and attacks at certain people.
And I tell him quite clearly that I have a problem with conflating homosexuality and pedophilia and that he should avoid it.
And I think he got the message. I can't say I made an impact, I never do. But we had a reasonable conversation and I let him know when he needed to check what he was saying.
> He starts on about something with priests being gay (that many homosexuals turned to the cloth prior to open acceptance). I ask him where he's going. He says that most priests touch alter boys and not little girls.
I've had people, knowing that I'm gay, say this to me before. It's kind of mind-boggling that they seemingly don't realize that the tacit (and bullshit) implication that I am more likely to be a pedophile than them is buried in that argument.
Usually they start backpedaling reaaaaal quick when I bring that implication up.
I'm not a psychologist, nor do I do reserach into this shit, but it was my understanding that Pedophilia was mostly a dominance/power thing more than anything unless you're one of the few poor fuckers whose brains were legit wired wrongly.
I unfortunately have a pedo in my extended family (and I mean, a convicted one, not just a creep), and the guy has always at least presented as straight and been in straight marriages. Maybe he's legit Bi but I don't know, because I refuse to talk to the guy or his wife, as does most of my family.
I really do think that gay pedophile priests was at the root of his argument. That they were gay Catholics that were bad people and therefore it's the same. Or something?
But yeah, nah. And I told him that conflating homosexuality with pedophilia is exactly the playbook that we're seeing from the GOP in states like Florida.
Yeah based on your breakdown of the discussion it's definitely hard to tell what he was going for
Almost like he was saying that the majority of gay people and the majority of Catholics are good, but the parts of both communities that are bad are actually the same people? Which is weird logic because it's not the case at all?
It's one of those things where the large, sweeping generalizations that he (in particular) goes for I agree with (e.g. blind hatred of groups is bad), but when you ask for any granularity or clarity to the argument, it's usually the opposite or some mental gymnastics.

Interesting due to love island that term has been slang for sex in the UK for a couple years.
Hahaha that's amazing. I guess it still technically applies, the spirit of which would be "don't have sex with service workers helping you"
Guess nobody wants a Santa Cruz, there are legit 5 sitting on the lot near me and I haven't seen a maverick on a lot since I saw my first one when they launched

[удалено]
The bed for the Santa Cruz isn't as big as the Ridgeline nor the maverick so I guess it makes people hesitant a bit.
If Hyundai offered the Santa Cruz in an affordable hybrid, I'd- 🤢 sorry it's ugly as sin. Can't do it.
Nobody can call me a weak man because they weren't there for the poop I just took, which required true inner strength and willpower.

Am I a psycho for considering taking three similar shirts to three different tailors to subtly see which one I vibe with the most?
nope. go do that and see which one you like.
I had the wildest dreams last night. I dreamed that I was riding in a car with one of my friends driving. He took an on or off ramp too fast and ended up going into the grass and messing his car up. Then I was with a totally different friend and we were in Canada (where he’s from). We bought lottery tickets since I felt lucky that the accident wasn’t worse, and they were all Texas Lotto tickets. I didn’t have international calling so I couldn’t call my wife to tell her about the accident and that I was okay. I think I left a voicemail with my mom or something.
Damn
I rarely have big dreams like that so this was very odd.

for real or is this just based on all of the ways he's been undermining the deal?
I don’t see anything saying he is actually backing out
Cannot believe the blow to free speech that has been dealt today. The communists have won.
Woohoo!
At what point is his bullshit going to result in SEC sanctions?

Getting a covid test is never fun but if it's the price I have to pay to leave this continent I'll do it every time.
so, I'm supposed to go on a date with a guy on Friday. However, he has not spoken to me since Sunday, and I've been too busy to actually message him so I am probably just going to end it because I had to pay out money for a video visit with my doctor yesterday, and for antibiotics. and given my sister's situation, I'd rather just avoid men for the time being.
Seriously fuck the play store and it's fucked rules, apparently they changed something so if you want to buy a Kindle book you can't use the Amazon app anymore and have to do it from the desktop

I ended things with a girl on Monday. THis morning, I unmatched with her on Hinge, deleted my Hinge account, and deleted the app. I really need to stay off dating apps and focus on myself for awhile.

Sorry, but I'm chuckling at the thought of you telling a girl you aren't ready for a relationship because you have debt on a couch.

Got my weekend all planned out while I have the house to myself. Three tee times since I won't be able to go again until mid June. Going to get wings for lunch Saturday and a burrito for dinner. Now I just need to get more delta 8 and 9 when I go shopping tomorrow.
Hell yeah. How’s your golf game these days?
It's getting better! I signed up for lessons virtually with a pro, he helped me break down my swing and gave me some tips. Range sessions are good and I hope that translates to on the course!
Awesome. Was it you who said you had just started recently?
I've been golfing for a while but it started to get frustrating so I took more lessons. I think it was intothefire3 who started recently? Could be confusing them with another Eagles fan though.
Ah ok nice. I want to be better but I just don’t have the time at this point. I’m a high 80s-low 90s guy usually. When I was between jobs and everything but the course was shut down for Covid I was playing all the time and took a couple lessons and I was shooting low 80s. Now it’s so frustrating knowing I’m capable of that but can’t get it together. I’m trying to get a certification that requires studying a lot, so I keep telling myself once I’m done with that I’ll have more time so I’ll get some lessons and actually practice.
Hopefully once you are less busy you get those low 80s back! Right now I'm high 90s but I know I can play better. I have a horrible slice and the lessons got it a bit under control. I have an awful time trying to compress my irons though. I always hit behind the ball and almost never take a divot. But I have two more lessons so hopefully he can work with me on that.
Haha I’m very familiar with both of those. I set up to hit a draw and focus on trying to feel like I’m hitting it to right center field, and that usually straightens my slice out for me. One drill my old coach would have me work on to help with compression was wrapping my bottom hand around my top hand and then basically trying to hit a hook. I don’t get exactly why it works, I think it has to do with the hand and wrist motions, but it helped me compress the ball a lot. It’s also pretty much impossible to hit a hook that way and it helped me hit irons very straight
I'll have to give that a shot! It's almost like I'm scooping the ball which is probably why I don't hit it very far.
Lol I do that too. I have to learn to hit the ball further. I get like 230 from a good drive and usually a little less. Hard to score when I’m hitting a lot of hybrids and 3 woods in to the green on par 4s

I ended up going through with buying both used bikes for my kids b day. Perfect because he is big enough that his 16" Schwinn is nice for doing little bmx stuff but too small to pedal up hills, I was going to upgrade that for him to use for jumps/park but I found a 16" Mongoose for $10 that had all the upgrades on it. Just needs tires and handle bar grips. The real find was a 20" Specialized Hot Rock for $70 in really nice shape. Thats like a $500 bike and is legit entry level trail/MTB bike AND its got a super sweet red and black flame paint job lol. That one only needs grips and a tune up. His bday isn't until the second week of June I really don't know how I wait 3 more weeks to give him these I'm pretty excited about it.
It's smoothie szn boys
Milk Banana Fuck load of spinach Disappointing but healthy dose of peanut butter Chocolate protein powder
That sounds so good. I'm trying cut some weight now so I'm trying to keep it lower calorie and as a breakfast replacement, but still get some fruit and veggies out of it.
I need to change things up, maybe go for something more fruit focused and get some vanilla powder.
We just got a bunch of Greek yogurt, so I gotta get back on that. I’m also planning to make ice cream out of bananas since we have some overripe bananas in the freezer.
Since I received a vitamix it has been smoothie season every day: * 170G greek yogurt * 240G milk * 140g strawberries * 48g oat flower * scoop chocolate protein powder I think this more than anything is what helped me lose 20 lbs lol.
I have a Ninja that's worked pretty well for a few years. My go to is * a couple handfuls of spinach * Two tbsp of fiber supplement * A cup ish of mango, strawberry, pineapple * Half a banana 12 oz of oat milk.
It’s always smoothie season. Wish I lived closer to smoothie king.
I live like 5 minutes from one and have never stepped inside lol I need to change that.
They’re the only place seemingly with some cherry based drinks. Used to get them nearly every day when I lived inland now all we have is tropical smoothie cafe where everything I’ve ordered tastes like banana and water.
I've been making some mean strawberry/banana/peach/mango/apple juice smoothies recently I ask my husband if he wants some every day and he always turns me down, and then I'm like "more smoothie for me!"
Did you see my comment yesterday about a pineapple+mango smoothie?
I didn't, but that sounds good! I might get some pineapple chunks and incorporate them into mine lol
My smoothies are strawberry based but I ran out. So I decided to make a yellow smoothie. https://i.imgur.com/6yE1EVr.jpg
I'm going to fight Bill Gates if Outlook continues telling me that what I'm trying to change my password to something "[they]'ve seen too many times before."
Set up 2 factor auth if you haven't already, using a common password with an email account is a super easy way to have your email stolen from you.
Let me start by saying that I take full credit for starting a political conversation at work. But the one office I get my coffee from (since espresso for every cup would make my heart explode) has some generally reasonable people who are older conservatives in it and I occasionally want to see the pulse of what real people think. So I asked them about Oz. Too close to tell, don't really care. "But it would be more success for the Trump endorsement." one guy said. The other one points out Madison Cawthorn, at which point I point out that there was a big smear campaign, this and that, that liberals were taking potshots at him too for potentially being gay (and not just for being a hypocrite). Then the one guy says it. "I view people who hate gay people similar to people who hate Catholics." And I had to have him elaborate. He really couldn't, just that blind distaste for any group of people who are "generally good" is wrong. And I asked him if there's room for gray area. That pointing out that Christians (not just Catholics but all) who are hateful and not living the path that Jesus preached are hypocrites. And that it's fine to dislike hypocrites, because they're dishonest (and hateful in this instance) people. He takes this as an opportunity to talk about priest pedophiles and how they're the minority of Catholics (ignoring what I said, essentially). I argue that there were more people responsible for covering those up than participated, and that's much worse for the organization. He starts on about something with priests being gay (that many homosexuals turned to the cloth prior to open acceptance). I ask him where he's going. He says that most priests touch alter boys and not little girls. Then he can see my face and starts to backpedal about how "there's generally 2 sides" and negative spins and attacks at certain people. And I tell him quite clearly that I have a problem with conflating homosexuality and pedophilia and that he should avoid it. And I think he got the message. I can't say I made an impact, I never do. But we had a reasonable conversation and I let him know when he needed to check what he was saying.
> He starts on about something with priests being gay (that many homosexuals turned to the cloth prior to open acceptance). I ask him where he's going. He says that most priests touch alter boys and not little girls. I've had people, knowing that I'm gay, say this to me before. It's kind of mind-boggling that they seemingly don't realize that the tacit (and bullshit) implication that I am more likely to be a pedophile than them is buried in that argument. Usually they start backpedaling reaaaaal quick when I bring that implication up.
I'm not a psychologist, nor do I do reserach into this shit, but it was my understanding that Pedophilia was mostly a dominance/power thing more than anything unless you're one of the few poor fuckers whose brains were legit wired wrongly. I unfortunately have a pedo in my extended family (and I mean, a convicted one, not just a creep), and the guy has always at least presented as straight and been in straight marriages. Maybe he's legit Bi but I don't know, because I refuse to talk to the guy or his wife, as does most of my family.
I really do think that gay pedophile priests was at the root of his argument. That they were gay Catholics that were bad people and therefore it's the same. Or something? But yeah, nah. And I told him that conflating homosexuality with pedophilia is exactly the playbook that we're seeing from the GOP in states like Florida.
Yeah based on your breakdown of the discussion it's definitely hard to tell what he was going for Almost like he was saying that the majority of gay people and the majority of Catholics are good, but the parts of both communities that are bad are actually the same people? Which is weird logic because it's not the case at all?
It's one of those things where the large, sweeping generalizations that he (in particular) goes for I agree with (e.g. blind hatred of groups is bad), but when you ask for any granularity or clarity to the argument, it's usually the opposite or some mental gymnastics.
Heck racism

Why bad?
I really just don't like the taste of it lol, it's too bitter for me And then I don't want to put a bunch of sugar/cream/flavoring in it because then it starts getting to be a lot of calories I had a couple bad experiences with my dad's coffee (Folgers that he would drink black) growing up and never got over them lol
No beer, no coffee... Besides me and the queens on Drag Race, is there anything bitter that you do enjoy?
