| Topic | "Police free" zone in Seattle already resorting to violence |
| Phantom36 06/11/20 4:59:30 PM #32 | HiddenRoar posted... Abolish =/= Defund (or reform). I think to a lot of people, "defund" sounds closer to "abolish" than to "reform," this is creating much of the confusion. --- The Phantom has spoken! |
| Topic | "Police free" zone in Seattle already resorting to violence |
| Phantom36 06/11/20 4:44:18 PM #19 | TheVipaGTS posted... Yea, the police wouldn't have used violence. Its not like they ever do that. Honestly it's because the media isn't reporting on the majority, rational viewpoint. All over any news site headlines are like, "Calls to defund the police across the country" and of course the news loves to report conjecture and clickbait. --- The Phantom has spoken! |

| Topic | Celebs are being cringe about black people |
| Phantom36 06/11/20 3:04:19 PM #48 | TheVipaGTS posted... Yea a lot of fiction is being canceled for reality TV. Until you know a few police officers on a personal level, know who they are beneath the uniform. Know their wives, children, families, see them as human beings just like you. See them putting their lives on the line. If I were you I wouldn't label 100% of anyone in any group as anything, considering it could potentially be a tad ironic to do so. Police brutality and racism is real, and the system of law enforcement is certainly in need of reformation. But to suggest no cop has ever done anything good ever is an incredibly ignorant statement that wasn't thought out very well. Unless you were just making a goofy wisecrack, if that's the case then this post is actually kinda funny. --- The Phantom has spoken! |

Good on them for doing so, but even a majority of comments from any source are meaningless platitude strictly for PR reasons. The ironic thing this GameFAQs probably actually cares more than the generic Twitter statements from big Conglomo Incorporated or whatever. --- The Phantom has spoken! |

There are real issues to address rather than the cancel the fucking reality show that's been on air for 30+ years. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/09/business/media/cops-canceled-paramount-tv-show.html --- The Phantom has spoken! |

| Topic | Comedy shows involving blackface being removed from streaming platforms. |
| Phantom36 06/10/20 3:28:48 PM #5 | SpaceBear_ posted... We're supposed to be standing up against systemic racism and unlawful murder? What has comedy (or the attempt of comedy) have to do with anything. I get why, the comedy by today's standards isn't funny anymore. It's just that, the balance of focus is screwed up. There is all of this focus on removing old comedy, like even Jimmy Fallon's Chris Rock impersonation with blackface from an SNL skit 20 years ago, and not enough focus on the actual issues at hand involving police brutality and systemic racism. --- The Phantom has spoken! |

| Topic | Do you go to Starbucks regularly? |
| Phantom36 06/10/20 12:21:26 PM #15 | Get fresh roasted coffee beans from a local roaster, leave them whole. Grind them fresh right before you make the coffee. If everyone did this once in their life, Starbucks would probably go out of business the next day. I like to use a French press, which calls for a more coarse grind than usual (so a cheap blade grinder is OK for this, even though professional baristas will insist on a more expensive burr grinder, but that's unnecessary for this). Heat the water anywhere between 195-205F, very hot but not quite boiling (hotter end of that scale is better for lighter roasts). Pour the water over the grounds (about a half cup worth of grounds for about 30 oz of water, assuming your press holds 32-34 oz, adjust accordingly). Put the lid on, let it brew for 4 mins (take off lid and stir after 1 min). Press and serve. Any coffee you don't drink right away should moved to a thermos to keep hot, it'll get bitter after too long in the carafe with the coffee grounds. I recommend a medium roast if you like your coffee black, or medium-to-dark if you like milk. Really dark roasts like French or Italian roasts will be too bitter for this method given the extraction time, and lighter roast flavors will be too delicate. If you want a light or dark roast I would recommend a manual pour over drip using virtually the same info except a "medium" grind, not as coarse as the press grind. --- The Phantom has spoken! |

| Topic | Do you go to Starbucks regularly? |
| Phantom36 06/10/20 11:47:39 AM #3 | Nope. Terrible coffee. I guess I understand why they're so successful when it comes to their non-coffee drinks like their mocha floppaccino or whatever it is. But jeez a straight shot of espresso from Starbucks doesn't even have crema, and their pour over coffee is stale as shit. --- The Phantom has spoken! |
