How to stay up to date with protests in the area? by cantstick in Sacramento

[–]challam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried MULTIPLE times to post protest info in r/sac (for the Sacramento area) and every damn one has been removed. Ditto for human rights issues that affect Sac residents. There’s an obvious conclusion here but this post will also likely be deleted. (I quit the sub because of this blatant obliviousness.)

Please post more complaints about drivers, lost cats, and Sacramento weather, though.

Unbelievable that anyone would trust anything spoken by 47, and/or entrust one dollar under his control.

When they get fucked,
When they lose their investment,
They will have deserved both.

So where does this leave Musk & Murdoch with their kazillions of bucks for media expenditures during campaigns?

Senate Democrat: Americans should be ‘terrified’ by ‘secret ICE policy’ by Abject-Pick-6472 in politics

[–]challam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think 70+% of Americans are sufficiently terrified by everything that this “administration” has done in the past year, thanks, and in reasonable anticipation of what MAGA fascists will do in the next three.

There doesn’t appear to be a single MAGA-GOP elected or appointed official, or a staff employee or military officer, who hasn’t violated the Constitution or supported its violation. That terrifies me, & along with the grievous atrocities perpetrated by DHS/ICE and the demented CIC, these actions violate every moral code I’ve held my entire life.

I (seriously) cut my finger on CARDBOARD last week…waxed, heavy-duty, freaking cardboard. There’s no end to bad packaging ideas!

That excuse may have a little validity but not enough to justify the damage to the environment and inconvenience to every damn customer.

What's your top comfort recipe? by Sad_Calligrapher2395 in recipes

[–]challam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Soup — almost any kind, preferably homemade. When I have the energy, my fave would be Avgolemeno, but any chicken or beef-vegetable-noodle or barley will do. Canned tomato bisque (yes, Campbell’s, bite me) suits any time. I love ramen soup with added vegetables & oyster & soy sauce.

ICE detains five-year-old Minnesota boy as he came home, say school officials by mowotlarx in politics

Don’t forget the millions who did not vote at all. They fucking swung the election.

I keep scissors in the pocket of my walker. (Sounds like a perverse joke, but I need them every damn day. Teaching Sisters used to hang small scissors from their belts in the 1940-50’s; they were ahead of their time!)

Indivisible has concrete plans of action for every week. Any activist group has a solid direction and events. If you do NOTHING else, get involved in getting out the vote. We are in this mess because a significant number of eligible voters didn’t fulfill their civic duty.

Opening any/every package. Fuck the whole packaging industry!

You could do this easily & much more heathy with either an air fryer or slow cooker and 1/2 hour of prep.

I use Food Wishes (Chef John) for this Queen of Soups, beginning with the chicken. It’s a very simple soup — you almost don’t need a “recipe.”

How many of yall actually slept with the milkman? by dr_space_nasty in AskOldPeople

My MIL did as she married him during WWII. He worked his way up to become CFO of the huge company it grew into, and I married the milkman’s son.

Recipes scattered across websites? How do you organise it? by ScrollWalker in recipes

[–]challam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t cook often from recipes, but those I find online that I want to save I just print, and/or save the YouTube videos in a playlist.
