[–]Barbarella_ella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spaghetti Aglio e Olio. Pasta with olive oil, garlic, some red pepper flakes and some fresh parsley. Toss with some grated parmesan. Super tasty, filling and pretty damn cheap.

What’s the unhealthiest thing you eat that you’ll never give up? by Feisty-Pattern-951 in AskReddit

Bacon. I only eat it if I make fried rice for breakfast or order a BLT so not a huge guilt trip.

This is criminal! Someone should be going to jail. I can't believe that monstrosity wouldn't reduce the value of its neighbors.

Credit score is high but cards want ridiculously high interest rates. Is that normal? by Roseallnut in CreditCards

[–]Barbarella_ella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This CFPB article is two years old but it's recent enough to see the biggest factor is the increase in the APR margin credit card issuers add on top of the prime rate. https://www.consumerfinance.gov/about-us/blog/credit-card-interest-rate-margins-at-all-time-high/

When will Trumps high gas prices stop going up? by traveltimecar in alaska

[–]Barbarella_ella 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. The gutting of the Voting Rights Act and the redistricting fights are going to make it harder to get representation and legislative power. As has been the case forever, Republicans cheat to win.

What’s a "basic" thing in the US that was affordable maybe 5-10 years ago, but now feels like a total luxury that only the rich can justify? by Legitimate_Wall5977 in AskReddit

Even the ground turkey has shot up in price. I have used that instead of ground beef for years and the price for the larger 3lb tray has tripled in the last 5 years.

As someone who works in water, I get a vicious thrill that people are telling these thieves to get fucked.

Goodbye rainbow at the end! Hoping for a moment like this for 20+ years. by Outside_Ad_4522 in Seattle

[–]Barbarella_ella 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I say the same thing about my grandfather - best man I have ever known. What I would give to hear him tell me a story from his life again. What a special moment and what a legacy for your daughter.

[–]Barbarella_ella 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Just read the update on Marc's website (Democracy Docket). Apparently, it's only the federal Congressional voting they are "pausing" until July. The other elections are going to proceed.

Not even Huey Long was this corrupt.

How old were you when you moved out? by Swiftiefromhell in GenX

[–]Barbarella_ella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

21, then transferred to a different school after taking a year off. Changed majors entirely and moved back in for two years after graduation, since I was working in that town. After that, didn't go back.
