Yeah fair. But this is like Fox level stuff. Usually they were somewhat better than Fox journalistically.

“…cringeworthy heckling…” man CNN has gone downhill. Not even trying to appear objective

Good point. Better start saying AFAP to make it more clear

I’m in the same boat. I happen to earn more, but not really through my own education/merit/worth to society - just by virtue of the industry I work in and that I can also make computers go beep sometimes.

For a while, my wife did earn more than me, and that was fine. My job was easier, so I did more housework and took some of the stress off her.

Imo it’s wild to be upset that you are earning more as a team just because the person earning the most on the team is a woman. Patriarchy is a hell of a drug

Oh yeah for sure. I usually just cut that out if it’s a vein in the chicken or just scrape it off if its on the meat or skin.

Idk why everybody hates on burger king. They have probably the best cheap fast food burger of the major national chains and also some of the better fries as long as they’re fresh. Maybe I’ve just always lived around good burger kings, idk

Nope. The slimy stuff that comes off when you wash chicken is not fat and the pink liquid is myoglobin, not blood. The reason not to wash chicken is that it potentially sprays salmonella all around your sink. Basically, there is no good reason to wash chicken, but it shouldn’t affect the actual meat.

That post sounds like it breaks the terms of the previous settlements against him by Carroll. Grounds for yet another lawsuit

Sophomore literally comes from “wise fool” in greek. Sophos = wisdom, moros = foolish

If you’re talking about communism in the USSR, people having “nothing to strive for” and being “depressed and drunk” were definitely not the primary issues. That’s a seriously uninformed and sophomoric position, and you should read up on history a bit if you’re curious. There were serious issues relating to central planning that were the cause of the famines, their military logistics issues, and corruption at the local level. Not to mention the various internal and external conflicts that plagued the USSR. These did not relate to some vague notion of people being unmotivated, depressed, or drunk.

Bonus historical fact: Russia’s rampant alcoholism has roots in the Czarist period where the Czar decided who could distill and sell alcohol. At various points, this meant aristocrats only and then a state monopoly. During the czarist period, vodka sales to Russians made up like 20% of the state’s income - so the czarist state had a vested interest in maintaining the demand for vodka. During the communist period, the government tried to ban or limit vodka production and consumption numerous times (decreased worker productivity, made people bad parents, etc) - but that went about as well as prohibition has gone in other parts of the world.

OP’s irrational anger upon merely hearing Santa Baby surely relates to zer own zexual unfufilment. OP is angry because he vas not touched by Herr Santa… or by anyvon.

I’m not sure if diversity is Lemmy’s strong suit (yet - simply because being popular is not its strong suit), but acceptance/tolerance/being generally less shit than reddit definitely is. One main benefit of the fediverse is you can always block instances. So pick an instance you like that is welcoming, without trolls, and is defederated from instances you don’t want, then you’re good to go. Not that brigading/trolling can’t happen, but it’s harder to do.

Yeah scotus decided “meh not our problem. Plus, we love bribes” and dropped all Trump’s emoluments cases in 2021

Precedents. Have you heard about these? The radical antifa liberal communists have said that decisions from the past should determine laws in the fyoo-chure. Crazy. That’s cray-zy. We won’t let crooked Joe’s corrupt socialist judges decide what laws we can make. The founding fathers are dead. That’s what our failing public schools say. Possibly like Hannibal Lecter. Can someone in the crooked media fact check me?They love to fact-check me. I have the best facts. Is Hannibal Lecter dead? But the founding fathers. George Washington. Wa. Shing. Ton. What a man. 100% man. The ladies might need to cover their ears for this one, but George Washington had a tremendous hog. The biggest dick you’ve ever seen, folks. And he fucked, too. We love our founding fathers (turns around and salutes toward the back of the stage, does a stupid dance as he turns around again). George Washington wrote a little thing called the con-sti-tu-shun. You may have heard of it - crooked Joe doesn’t want you to know about it, but I love the constitution - it says that I should pardon all of the brave January 6 patriots. Many people are saying this. Democrats don’t believe in the constitution, so they won’t pardon them. Only I will pardon them. I have the best pardons. But Parton. Dolly Parton. Did you know the kids don’tknow about Dolly Parton…

That’s actually a major reason I switched to linux. Windows security update kept failing with no solution for like 6mos. Afaik there is still no solution.
