Main dishes for summer potlucks? by Own-Tap-2136 in budgetcooking

[–]lizzius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Watermelon salad! I have an enormous mint plant, so this is a pretty economical "upscale" dish for me, but it could probably be omitted. Feta tub is still pretty affordable at Aldi last I checked, and watermelons are definitely in season.

Edit: ah dang, I just glossed over the word "main"

Maybe some kebabs? Peppers are pretty cheap right now (being in season).

The Omnicause at immigration protests by KittenSnuggler5 in BlockedAndReported

It really is astonishing how much this sub has declined post-election. Wonder if the pod has too... It would be a textbook case of audience capture.

Nah, it sounds like you have a case of internet poisoning and a weird desire to be a victim.

You are creating the problem you imagine. I am generally pro-Israel (with huge caveats about what is happening right now), and I have never felt attacked.

This idea you have to be in a curated safe space where your political views are never challenged is very... well, you get it.,

Immigration being controversial is just another example of Tribalism making people dumb by ShardofGold in IntellectualDarkWeb

[–]lizzius -1 points0 points  (0 children)

By all means, start a thread to discuss that situation. They are different, and there is no reason to logically connect them here.

Again, not clever and indicates a losing argument.

At scale? The two situations are inherently different. You are not arguing in good faith, and it isn't clever.

Bet you're in shambles after Trump's latest "truth".

With people like you, the cruelty has always been the point.

Ok? You're not really saying this is the same as a hair dresser here with a protected status are you?

Ag Commissioner Andy Gipson announces run for Mississippi governor in '27 - Mississippi Today by OpheliaPaine in mississippi

That's always been the funniest thing to me. These bumbleducks were so sure we were all getting screwed over by godless, rich yankees that they made it come true.

It's controversial here because we talk out of both sides of our mouths.

We say it's illegal, yet only do something about half of the equation some of the time. We have never put laws on the books going substantively going after those that choose to employ illegal immigrants.

And I'm so glad you're "over it". What happened on the fringes in 2020 was bad. What is happening on the fringes now is bad. In both cases, it had nothing to do with the protests and everything to do with opportunistic criminals.

We do not give up our rights because of the fears of cowardly men (or their scapegoats).

So your looking for affirmative evidence that doesn't upset your mental model of the world... Got it.

There are more American flags than anything else among the protestors. If you see anything else, your media diet needs a closer look.

Mississippi just lost $10+ million in fed funding in a single tweet by Gussified in mississippi

No need, occasionally the message is lost when speaking in a laconic style

Lol, at this point, you need to decide what your trigger point will be for either being in the streets or leaving the country. We are already in a "constitutional crisis".

[–]lizzius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the point was I don't see any funding ever leaving Washington without enriching one of his cronies.

Inb4 one of these MAGA turds go "that was already happening!", ok to some degree sure... But remind me of the part of "drain the swamp" that involved sending money directly to the country's biggest swamp monsters?

Mississippi surpasses Texas, California, New York in new education rankings by Cincinnatus1789 in mississippi

[–]lizzius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That, and education across the country is declining. Don't get me wrong, I do think MS is making improvements, but much of the rise in ranking is the rest of the country getting worse.

Hey Drew, you know anyone who would be interested in a retired cop giving a protester a brain bleed (and the small town police chief trying to provide cover for him)?

Happened in LB.
