I've watched tumblerinaction peak over the past year. They've always made fun of "sjw" stuff, but I remember a few years ago trans topics were almost untouchable on there, and comments defending gender ideology would be highly praised and upvoted. Almost all of the people they've peaked used to be "allies" or supportive.

i think of all the reddit subs, that was the easiest and first to peak outside the old r/ Gender Critical and maybe some of the lesbian subs (wouldnt know on the last one. not a lesbian, wasn't my space so didn't tread where it would be kinda silly for me to go).

TiA has been..really on the trans topics lately and they get some troll TRAs who pretty much get shut down and hard. it's fun to watch. tbh.

I'm still on reddit for nosleep and the Elder Scrolls related subs, and every so often I go to TiA to have fun shutting down TRA trolls. One of them got mad and told me to get fucked because I told him that sex-based stereotypes hurt women. lol Nice username, btw. Turkish coffee (and tea) is the best!

Thank you! :) I'm a coffee lover so. r/coffee and some hobby forums are still relevant to me. But i'll launch at the "i'm going to fix TiA" posters who show up there sometimes too for shits. I'm not actually familiar with turkish tea i'll have to look that up , but i have made coffee almost every way i know of (haven't tried the dalgona thing) and turkish is up there as excellent. Kurdish is too. And espresso with a machine i cannot afford but got to take a class on. ahh. if i was rich....i'd own a coffee shop post-covid. but..anyhow.

A friend was gifted a Capresso EC 50 espresso maker but didn't want it so gave it to me a while back. It is now pretty cheap (like < $100 in the US) because the model is old. I am by no means a coffee elitist, so it does the trick for cappuccinos. Very easy to use and I love it.

I have a cheap little espresso machine I got a few years ago during a sale. It's only big enough to make one shot at at time, and has a tiny steamer attached to it. It still turns out pretty well, in my opinion. Have you ever tried Vietnamese-style coffee? That's one of my favorites.

Oh i have a dehlongi espresso machine, but i'd love to own a coffee shop and a simonelli class machine. the dehlongi does just fine for me being the only coffee drinker in the house.

And yes! my boyfriend bought me a vietnamese coffee maker as a surprise and we made that one day and vietnamese egg coffee another. Didn't have a hand mixer so chucked a whisk into the cheaper of the two drills and had at (it works great). I like both, but to be utterly truthful prefer vietnamese with some milk and sugar. :)

Hmmm if only other groups of people would realize where it would be silly of them to tread....

It didn't hurt a bit, did it? To just not insert yourself into those spaces.

R/stupidpol is for the most part sensible on this as well.
