You’re right, and I think there might be additional health benefits from adding it in, too!

I confess my comment wasn’t my real opinion, but I’m sure that’s what my grandmother would have said. She was always very concerned with appearances.

My actual answer: I have spent time in Dixie and drank a fair bit of chicory coffee. At that time I also smoked like a chimney so I wonder now how much I was able to smell and taste much of anything back then. I liked it fine but it was never my favorite go-to.

Since I quit smoking and live a generally more healthy life I find I have become a bit of a purist. I like my coffee to be coffee, as there is so much variety just within coffee that adding in other things seems to complicate the issue beyond what I’m willing to deal with.

But again, no shade at anyone who likes it.

Naw, that’s fo’ po’ folks!

I think intelligence/personality are about even for me. I think I would not have rejected my wife if she were average intelligence, but the fact that she has a science background, and the quick way she thinks are part of the package that I fell for. So I will say very important, but not the most important.

Thank you for your service.

Edit: I was going to try to add to the comedy but I feel like it’s not actually funny. I get the irony, but I started thinking how I’d feel if I had a family member or friend that died in such a dumb way.

Well he’s in the arms of Jesus now. If there’s any lesson here it’s use a damn holster, people, and take your safety training seriously.

You guys are making jokes but we can all be grateful he died free with his 2nd amendment rights intact. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Ok, but there like it used to be was better than there is now, and if here could be like there used to be now it would be better than there is now and its my opinion that if here now was like there then it would be slightly better than here is now and I don’t think thats too much to wish for.

Well it seems there’s a plan to take the white house no matter what the election results may be:

It kind of worries me that this could actually happen and people would be like, “Aw shucks, I guess there’s nothing we can do.”

The neurotypical flattening of self expression always was a tyranny, you just normalized it.

I chef kiss this sentence.

I think there are a number of thigs people generally don’t allow kids to have/do, not because it’s immoral but because it creates a hassle for you, the parent. Take sharpies or other permanent markers for example. If you give one to a 4 or 5 year old, not matter how much you teach them about “how and when” to use them, you’re still guaranteed to get sharpie marks on places you don’t want them, and while it’s not the end of the world it can be a drag.

Of course it’s up to you to decide when’s the appropriate age to have access to permanent markers, cans of spray paint and pocket knives.

The issue with swearing is that kids copy everything you do, so even before school age you can create hassles if your four year old shouts out at the wrong moment “Eat shit, ya fuckin cunt!” This might sound funny but it’s possible to unintentionally set your kids up with habitual patterns of behavior that create unnecessary drama -both for you and your child- that would have been a lot easier to avoid in the first place.

I’m interested and curious to see what happens with such a setup. I wonder if I will end up on the ban list as a result of mostly participating in the conservative community and being contrary.

Every little while ( more frequently these days) i hear the voice of Anita Hill in my head.

Should vulnerable members of our society be exploited?

You are wrong. Olives are great.

I confess I do believe in the right of nations to pursue socialism by different paths, dictated by the conditions, culture and social institutions of each nation, but I would not say I am 100% anti-revisionist. Mostly tho. I mean, don’t try to deny class struggle with me, because I am not having it.

I feel like a pour over tastes more “sharp” and the press gives a more “round” taste. I suppose you could say “bright” and “dark”, but either way these are poor metaphors. I prefer a press, but I wouldn’t want to leave coffee in the press for too long. For connection to the coffee it seems like making a lot and keeping it in a thermos is not as good as making 1 cup and drinking it immediately.

Everybody has to find the coffee and coffee method that’s right for them, so if you like pour over, stick with that. It never hurts to try new things, but I wouldn’t lay out a lot of cash for something different if you already know what you like. Do you know someone with a quality press maybe?
