> From Blanqui's assumption, that any revolution may be made by the outbreak of a small revolutionary minority, follows of itself the necessity of a dictatorship after the success of the venture. This is, of course, a dictatorship, not of the entire revolutionary class, the proletariat, but of the small minority that has made the revolution, and who are themselves previously organized under the dictatorship of one or several individuals. We see, then, that Blanqui is a revolutionary of the preceding generation.

Demand elected officials distance themselves from Gamaldi and the police union.

Houstonians should demand their elected officials take a hard stand against the antagonistic behavior and dangerous influence of Joe Gamaldi and the union he presides. Despite elected and appointed officials signing agreements with the Houston Police Officers Union (HPOU), our community’s government should not allow unions to syphon its special interests against those they are paid to protect.

Although the recent events involving George Floyd’s murder by law enforcement in Minnesota have warranted a countrywide scrutiny of police unions, I will be using the illegal Harding Street raid as the basis of my argument. The Harding Street raid exemplifies everything that is wrong with Gamaldi, the police union, and unchecked law enforcement.

Joe Gamaldi and HPOU defend the bad guys.

On January 28, 2019, Houston Police Officers Union president Joe Gamaldi stood in front of a hospital where four Houston

Peko Peko Peko I have VTuberculosis

Honorary this didn’t happen today but about 2 years ago but still the best story I will ever have for myself.

I come from a Mexican family and my father is a bit traditional and believes weed to be a gateway drug and to never use drugs. I got around this by buying edibles after obtainingi a medical marijuana card (in California). I had bought a dark chocolate edible that had 10mg in every section and would usually eat half of a section to just relax. One day my friend comes over and we go out to eat some Pho for dinner, then we come back and settle into my room to play some video games until I noticed something. The chocolate I hid in the corner of my room was gone. I had hid it, even though no one ever comes into my room, yet it was gone. So I asked my friend if he saw it and of course he said no and then I remembered that my father has a sweet tooth. HE ATE 50MG OF THE CHOCOLATE. I came to this realization and struggled to figure out what to do; do I tell him?? Or just let him

As of late I have seen a massive flood of people from all across the political spectrum coming here to escape the general craziness of other gun subs.

And I'm perfectly okay with that, in fact I welcome our brothers from the middle/right with open arms.

I feel that the fight that's brewing isn't going to be about (or shouldn't be) left or right, Liberal vs Libertarian vs Republican or whatever.

The fight that's brewing would be about freedom, protecting democracy so that we can figure out the rest of our issues calmly and without violence. The slow grind of democracy is what stops autocracy. And autocracy is the true enemy of us all.

Note; I'm not saying that some civil war or anything like that is going to happen, I think we're seeing a lot of anger and frustration mixed with fear of change and that it's a bad mix.

This question is mostly for those guys over 30 who don't do much physical activity. I've always been very skinny up to my late 20s, but as I got closer to 30 I started gaining weight and although I'm by no means fat, I now (31) sport a considerable pot belly. I've never been particularly active so it's not like my lifestyle has changed dramatically over the years, and it seems like every guy I know in his 30s and beyond who doesn't have a belly looks like that because he either goes to the gym or follows a diet. My question is: are guys bound to develop a belly (hormonally, genetically) when they get older and do nothing to shed it? I already know diet and physical activity can actively change it, but I just wonder if all the relatively skinny guys would also get chunkier if they stopped doing cardio / cutting sugar / moving around a lot because we're biologically wired to gain pounds with time.

Criteria:

1. I give them money, they give me a cooked, ready to eat pot pie.

• No grocery stores.

1. MUST HAVE CRUST ON THE BOTTOM. It should be illegal and punishable by death to advertise something as a pot pie if the only crust it has is on the top. that's not a pie, that's a creamy soup in an aluminum bowl with a hat.

• This rules out Boston Market, KFC, and Cheddars.

1. Bonus points if it can be delivered

Results TLDR:

• Pots and Pans - Check instagram for their daily menu. Some days the pot pies are frozen only. Online deliveries will resume after the apocalypse ends. This place is a winner.
• Illinois Street Food Emporium - Someone has vouched for them. Though only their catering menu mentions "Chicken pot pie" and says to look a the "Grab n Go" menu for more info, which does not make any mention. So I'm skeptical.
• MCL - They do not have it every day, so check ahead, but apparently good and "homestyle".
• Metro Diner - Limited time.

Where I live it’s not legal to smoke pot recreationally and I work at a non smoking hotel to preface. We have a strict no smoking in the rooms policy that guests must agree to and initial understanding of upon checkin (smoking OUTSIDE the hotel is fine), it says on the paperwork you will be charged $250+tax as well as we all tell people when they are filling it out so there’s no room for confusion. Suffice to say this doesn’t stop people who think they are the absolute sneakiest and weed couldn’t possibly be stinky enough when smoking for them to be caught! (Spoiler: it’s almost always without fail very obvious when someone is)

With everything going on in the world we have been having more locals staying instead of travelers and anyone who works at a hotel will likely understand that locals tend to be a bigger nuisance than travelers. As expected from the increase of local traffic we keep catching people who think they will get

The front-line medical staff did a phenomenal job preparing the Island for the pandemic. In the end, due to people heeding the warnings, the major influx to Island medical facilities of patients needing full-scale treatment for Covid-19 hasn't materialized. There is currently one person on the Island in hospital with it. At some point, the sirens and pot banging has outlived the intended purpose of celebrating and thanking the medical staff for their hard work. Now, it's kind of like playing the national anthem at sporting events, something done because it's expected but not with any real emotion.

Whenever i ask Americans what they feel is unique about America a common answer i get is that they are a melting pot of cultures and races etc. I mean i know outside of the big cities England becomes more and more white but ive always felt that when we do have lots of cultures and races in a certain place, like in London for example we tend to integrate more than in America. Like, whenever i go to a well known multicultural areas in the US, although i see so may people of different cultures and races, a lot of the time ive noticed they tend to stick to their own more and are more segregated, with maybe one or two token people of a different race/culture in their group. Ive always found it weird that I have more friends of different races in England than i do in the US.

Basically, is a cultural melting pot just having different cultures in one space but the people sticking to their own culture/race in terms of friendships and relationship or having the people within those cultures

The food is warm. The pot is already dirty. I live alone. Why dirty up a plate? Sure, I have cute dinnerware I use for guests, & I love to host and be presentable- but when I’m alone? Fuck it. Spoon in one hand, pot handle in the other. (Sorry I guess I need to add this only applies to one-course meals such as pastas and stir fries bc obviously I wouldn’t eat a steak, green beans, and potatoes out of 3 separate bulky pot/pans)

Just moving into my new apartment and every time I look at reviews on Amazon, they have 4 1/2 stars, but the recent reviews are awful :( )I already have a 12 inch (could be 10 idk!) pan that is amazing and a pan that is like, deep that I can cook pasta in. What other pans do I need? I loved to cook at home but hesitant to buy with all these bad recent reviews. The pot and pan I own are both from Contemporary Caffelon and even those reviews are iffy but I had them both throughout college so idk!

Also Mods, sorry I’m advanced if this isn’t an appropriate sub to post this question. I’m on my phone and couldn’t find any other sub! I didn’t search too too hard but yeah!
