Not likely to be helpful, but your feeling is normal and understandable. Didn’t wait too long to talk to someone.

Spaetzle is generally chewy. Similar to dumplings in effort. Prob not what you’re looking for.

My grandmother combined spaetzle with American chicken noodle soup. Made broth, thickened with flour, cut the spaetzle long and thick. It’s amazing.

I spent some time reading a significant number of the replies, so I’ll offer this as a suggestion for some of the repeated themes regarding overbearing political stance, decisive topics, etc:

• encourage and support people discussing matters from an open perspective, trying to take a less decisive stance, or being open to different sides

• encourage people and participate in conversation with people who show compassion or agree to disagree rather than write people off

• ask questions instead of assuming

• sometimes, opinions don’t have to be right/wrong

• opinions aren’t facts

I would appreciate more people discussing things with these ideas in mind.

Between the echo chamber sentiment, and people’s difficulty with empathy or accepting there could be other view points, it’s hard to maneuver around hot topics and learn anything.

The extreme left sentiment has been repeatedly mentioned, but I’m honestly still hoping to learn other people’s perspectives here.

Dude, I thought you were taking about spaetzle…

I appreciate that there’s users and news that’s not US. People here need more perspective than mainstream America.

This is what most of these people are talking about when they say viewpoints are critical and hateful.

People can have different viewpoints without being an ism/ist.

I don’t understand why people can’t differentiate or stop conflating opinions or perspectives with hate, violence, or something-ism.

Also, I am not advocating for hate, something-ism, killing, etc. Not everyone who doesn’t agree with you is a fascist, hater, genocide supporter, etc. Not ever opinion on a matter is propaganda.

I also wish there was more enterprise focused IT community.

The self host is not a replacement for homelab or sysadm.

I can’t even get good information security discussions @infosec.pub. I was hoping there’d be some security ninjas running around. Just a news bot.

I even think about mentioning enterprise Microsoft products, get evil capitalism lectured. I can’t personally change the business world’s IT paradigm. Business world…more lecture coming

I really enjoyed the clips of him on the apple show.
