I posted this comment just yesterday and it fits perfectly here, so I'm copy pasting it.
How is that an insult?
In fact the only thing I would say is incorrect is the word 'failures', since I think they (the liberals, be it the Democrats or the equivalent in other countries) haven't failed at all, quite the opposite, they've played their part masterfully to bring us here.
And before the liberals around feel attacked, this is not a 'both sides are the same' comment. That's not how controlled opposition works. It's more 'both sides work together, even when they do very different things, to achieve the same goals'.
Just an example. While Trump's DoJ is prosecuting people only because they are political opponents, Biden's didn't prosecute actual criminals (specially an orange one) because 'they were political opponents, and it's a bad look'. They disguise their inaction as civility, when it's clear as water they're doing it to further the plans of the people paying them, which is the same privileged class that's paying the other side.
Even this side of the pond, without a 'first pass the post' system, with lots of parties, coalitions, and what not, it's still exactly the same play.
First, punk is where it's always been: in the streets, the boroughs, in the young people that are discovering how trashy this world and society are... I've been out of the scene for quite a while, but from time to time I do still go to some concert or other events.
Second, Edelweiss is not anti authoritarian, or anti right wing at all, even if it's meant as a 'fuck you' to the nazis. It's a nationalist song sung by a member of the Austrian military. For context, the Austrian right was divided on this matter, with the Austrian fascist party being staunchly against the Anschluss. Julie Andrews rocks, though.
It sounds like an alternative for vegans or lactose intolerant people... idk.
About the pureeing vegetables, I do that, but then I also add cream. Without it the soup thickens, but not in a creamy way, I don't know how to explain it better. But maybe that's just me, I love fats, oil, grease, lard, butter, tallow... still fit as fuck, tho! Mediterranean diet, baby!
You've probably not heard of like 99% kinds of pasta. They make it in all shapes imaginable, and any, even tiny, variation in size, length, curvature, thickness... seems to be deserving of its own name. If any Italian is reading this, don't get me wrong, I love you—ye are nice, funny, beautiful (they are gorgeous! don't know why, but they are), your food is incredible, your language is lovely (even the Italian accent when speaking other languages is the best)...—but the pasta names thing is getting a bit out of hand.
Thought the same thing. Instant ramen and mac&cheese gotta have more or less the same shelf-life and nutritional value than candies, probably less than a candied apple, even.
They always do, which was the point of my comment. When the 'good ones' are in power everything is impossible to do, 'civility' and 'decorum' being the usual excuses. But when it's the turn for the 'bad ones' to rule, magically, everything is very straight forward and promptly done, without any impediment from the 'good' opposition or even with their blessing in the name of 'bipartisanship'.
I, still, can't see how that use of the word 'liberal' was an insult.

Bit rude. When I'm visiting family or friends and the time to leave comes, it costs me nothing to be a polite guest and take some trash with me on my way out.
I think I see the problem, if I understand correctly the building of your desk. The dimensions are alright, I'm guessing the table itself is not very massive/heavy and, by what you said about the apron set back on the front, the front legs are, also, set back those 5 inches which already put the centre of mass quite high and to the front. Adding the monitors and stand worsens it, moving it higher and forward, barely to the edge of the rectangle formed by the legs. Also, you've mentioned the legs move slightly, again moving the centre of mass further to the front. This flexibility in the joints, and probably also the monitor stand, means that if it tips past a certain point it will tend to tip even more.
So the solution imo—given that moving the weight back is not an option—is to move and/or angle the front legs to the front, reinforce them in the shape of a triangle and maybe brace them better to make the whole structure sturdier, any giving in the joints will make it tipsier. The last detail that could help, but very slightly probably so not a solution by itself, is how well your chair rolls, and how fast you want to get closer to your desk.
I wasn't talking really about the law, as long as they don't ban helmets I don't care. The anti-helmets might have a point tho, if the helmets are what's keeping these idiots from getting out of the car and onto a(n e-)bike just let them ride without it, it's a win-win-win situation and spending resources trying to avoid it doesn't seem very smart. In the other hand, where I live is the other way around, illegal for motorbikes and mopeds but legal for bikes and scooters, but we have a public health system and I think if everyone is gonna have to pay for either brain surgery or a pack of ibuprofen a dumb personal decision can become a collective burden, so mandating helmets can make more sense. Idrk.
Glad you listened to the calls of brain to protect it! Helmets are cool.
Wear a helmet, kids! Doesn't matter if you're riding an e-bike, a motorcycle, an e-scooter... if you're sharing the road with cars, vans, trolleys.. and your head is what's going to take the hit in case of an accident, wear a fucking helmet! (Some hi-viz, or light saturated colours, or anything that makes you more visible and stand out won't hurt either)
Or don't, idk, given the state of the world I think Darwin could use a bit of help, so if you don't feel like messing your hair, or you find it a bit uncomfortable, you do you. Thanks for the organs, btw.
Don't the rest of the countries in the region use similar maps? South Korea, Australia, Japan...? I would expect that to be the case, it seems more natural.
As the other commenter said you can wait outside. Also, if you let the water run in the bathroom sink until it's hot it'll be just a couple seconds for it to get to the shower.
It might be that we are not more resistant in general, but that ads and propaganda are tailored for normative minds not for ours. If they made them specially for autistic people it could be the other way around.
