  • Because of FPTP, that means that the GOP will have the presidency for a long time because the Democrats vote would be split.

    And if that is the case, you can be sure that no voting reform will happen, bringing back the two party system.

    It’s the natural evolution of FPTP system.

    The best case scenario would be for the Democratic party to prop up a political reform as one of their main issue, in the hope that the voters will give them the presidency, senate and house to do just that.

    But the DNC would have to follow through will all of that if they get to that point, which probably won’t happen.

    So yeah, it looks bleak no matter how you look at it.

    This is all excuses. The fact that Trump made it all the way as the primary candidate for the GOP means that Republicans were okay with what he said and what he did.

    For a normal person, it shouldn’t even take a second to choose Harris. But this isn’t the case. Trump won the popular vote and the presidency despite all the crazy shit because a sizeable part of the citizens voted him in regardless of the reason.

    And not only that, but Republicans won the senate and well on their way to win the house.

    It is about to get real bad, and Americans have themselves to blame for that.



  • Yes, but San Marzano tomatoes that are sweeter are still only 3g of sugar per 100g, and 2g of net carbs per 100g.

    And if you make a mirepoix for your sauce, the sugars in onions and carrots are higher.

    So for people that are afraid of sugar, a sauce made with tomatoes, carrots, onions and celery isn’t as scary as adding sugar.

    And the acidity isn’t considered as well. From experience, they are less acidic as well, so you don’t need to add sugar to mask that.











  • I mean, even as a sexual person, when you stop and think about it, it is indeed gross.

    But my reptilian brain craves it. And my logical brain just doesn’t give a fuck anymore about how it looks like. I mean, I change diapers full of shit and piss every day and I’ve seen my two children be born in an ungodly amount of juices. My threshold for being grossed out has become a lot higher.


  • Even though Facebook is a terrible inhumane corporation, they have the best product because it is lightweight, can be used without any base station and can be used without a pc-link.

    The fact that a VR set requires at minimum a 5x5 feets space with a computer within the vicinity is definitely hurting the VR market.

    So I just hope that we get something akin to the Quest but without the evil corporation bit.

    When I played Elite Dangerous with a VR headset, man was it magical. But I won’t dedicate a small room and a PC just for that experience.
