Dog movies that are not dog movies
Air Bud is a dog movie on the surface, but has a surpisingly well done underlying story of a boy struggling with the loss of his father.

What are foods that a lot of people dislike but you like?
Reply in thread
That is abnormal imo. Americans do not generally like "squishy" or "slimy" textures, which eggplant tends to have even when cooked properly. I've always thought of eggplants as being more popular among East Asians.

Eggplant (from an American perspective)
Salted Licorice

Indian Food is praised worldwide and celebrated in countries like the UK and Germany. Americans, why do all your comedy shows rag on Indian food?
Can you give an example? I know that some people have a hard time with the strong smells, but I honestly have never heard it made fun of in any demeaning way. Maybe at worst a character has a bad time on a toilet due to the Indian food being so spicy, but I can't think of how it would be made fun of. Seems well loved here in the States in my experience.

Gov. JB Pritzker points to Trump inconsistencies in deployment of National Guard to Chicago
Reply in thread
Pritzker has been seen around Chicago throughout this whole debacle, specifically at protests. Seems like he's doing a little more than chilling at his office. Even when he said "you have to go through me" he was at a protest. I'm pretty anti-billionare, but at least this elected official is not cowering from the fascists.

Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI'
Reply in thread
I think you have it backwards. Coding games is complicated, and that's why AI can't be used to code them effectively.

New York sees largest population decline of 50 states in 2023: census

Believe it or not, people might not always have abortion at the top of their list when they're moving. In fact I'm willing to bet cost of living is near the top of their list.

If someone asks, I'll offer to buy them food or other supplies. My wife hands out handwarmers during the winter. We used to put together care packages for people, but lost the habit. I don't give out money because I don't want to enable addictions. When you offer something other than money, you are able to more easily separate people who want a fix over people who want to improve their situation. Your resources go farther when you help the latter.
edit: One thing that helps people out a lot is buying them public transit passes. It gives them mobility to get to shelter/services they wouldn't have access to otherwise.

Software engineers should be a little bit cynical
I don't think engineers need encouragement to be cynical. More often engineers need to lighten up.

Does matcha tea need to be combined with milk or can I use water?
Matcha is traditionally made with water. Using milk, like in a matcha latte, is a newer trend. Look up a traditional match recipe using a whisk. Note, I know that most people do this with ceremonial grade matcha, but I'm not sure if people do this with lower grade matcha (for example, the bag you might buy at Costco). It sounds like you are probably not using ceremonial grade, so I can't vouch for how good it will taste. However it's still worth experimenting with.
"Cold brew" matcha doesn't really make sense. The goal of cold brew is to extract flavor from coffee/tea leaves over a long period of time using room temp/cold water. However matcha isn't really meant to be extracted, it's meant to be suspended in a liquid and drunk. If you want a "cold matcha drink" rather than specifically cold brew, I would try just throwing some matcha with some cold water in a mason jar, pop the lid on, and shake it up. Then just drink immediately.

Nintendo says users voluntarily paid higher prices, have no right to tariff refunds | Nintendo says Switch buyers got what they paid for, urges court to dismiss lawsuit.
IMO I think it's weird to focus specifically on Nintendo. The American government basically screwed over its populace and a ton of foreign companies (less sympathy for the latter though). I don't think it's realistic to expect these companies to reimburse customers, because logistically it'd be a nightmare. The only way I can imagine consumers getting their money back is if the government used the tarrif money to pay a portion of the federal income tax for its citizens, ideally the lower tax bracket. Unfortunately that won't happen.

Harris campaign releases new ad to highlight plans to build 3 million homes and reduce inflation
Reply in thread
There are plenty of homes already.
Plenty of homes where? In my city, which is a major job center, there are hardly any houses for sale. It doesn't really matter if there are plenty of houses 1+ hours away from my job.

A Trump Executive Order has paused federal payouts on the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs and Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, including allocated funds.

I wonder if even some red states would stop paying as a result. I can't imagine Ohio and Pennsylvania being ecstatic about propping up the Mississipi, Alabama, etc. after California, Illinois, etc. stop footing the bill.

my reason why you should use KDE+Krohnkite instead of WMs
Biggest con of KDE + Krohnkite (to me) is no text-based config. I really have no desire to pour through the GUI to set up all my keybinds. I've tried this setup before, and honestly I mostly like it. However anytime I want to change something I just hate having to click through a menu with my mouse. The search bar helps, but often you'll spend a lot of time guessing what the devs decided to name a setting. I went back to Sway and have no regrets. Though I'll admit I wish there was something that was basically Sway with the benefits you mentioned here.

Why do some people (i.e. white conservatives) think all Spanish speakers (especially native Spanish speakers) are Mexican?
I'm going to go against the grain and point out that these types of people generally live in areas where there are very few foreigners. The closest country with Spanish as their native language is Mexico. Given the lack of diverse exposure to people of different backgrounds, you can see whymany might default to Spanish speakers = Mexicans. That said, they are also likely to be undereducated as well...
