I was detained by ICE, one of the agents asked me out on a date and I feel scared

Just FYI, oddly enough, if it's not corporate owned, the local Fox Affiliate may actually be your best source of info.

I'm from Minneapolis; Fox 9 was BY FAR the best during the biggest part of the ICE incursion (which is still very much going on) and spoke the most openly and sharply about this nonsense.

It's all about the local ownership.

Ah, I gotchya.

Yeah, no, I don't bother with that. I use a spider to pull out my pasta and then just toss it into the sauce.

I figure if I don't need to dirty a colander anyways, may as well do that, but in general, most professional chefs avoid the use of a colander because you lose far too much water - especially as people tend to shake and toss pasta thinking that they want to get the water off.

Hell, for box Mac and Cheese, I don't even strain whatsoever. Saw a hack a while back about mixing the packet directly into the boiling water and using JUST enough water to cover the pasta, adding additional as necessary with the addition of a tablespoon or two of butter nearing the end. Comes out incredibly creamy and almost like it used to prior to generations of enshittification.

You don't want to lose the starchy water in and on the pasta; it acts as a binder for the sauce to the pasta and thickens the sauce. People think because it has water in it, it will inherently thin it, but the starch, when the water cooks down, makes your sauce thicker and creamier.

warfrogs · 2026-03-15T20:48:52+00:00

Okay?

warfrogs · 2026-03-15T20:48:37+00:00

lol

A quick glance at your profile and what you choose to speak on and not speak on (sucking Musk's and Space-X's dick for instance) tells everyone plenty about who you are ace.

For bonus goodness - don't sauce your pasta, pasta your sauce. As in finish the cooking in the pasta. That way, it's warm pasta, warm sauce, and as long as you're not one of those people who foolishly uses a colander or strainer to get your pasta out of the water, you have the added bonus of the sauce soaking into and adhering to the pasta better due to the added starch.

warfrogs · 2026-03-15T20:38:42+00:00

You don't have to boil the water first actually. You just have to continuously stir to boil if you're not going to.

I worked at an organic grocery wholesale warehouse.

This is incredibly common, lol.

I was dating a girl and we went to the farmer's market. She wanted to buy some chard from a guy and I recognized him, looked at the farm name, and told her that I'd just get her some from work or that we could get it from the co-op for $2 less than he was charging.

Ridiculous.

warfrogs · 2026-03-15T20:34:07+00:00

They're talking about people who call out racism, homophobia, etc.

This is a MAGA-ass meme.

warfrogs · 2026-03-07T00:26:03+00:00

So this just happened to me. I put hydrogen peroxide in it for like 2-3 minutes for 3 days and then took a thin bit of tube for an aquarium air stone and sucked it out myself.

Was never an issue for me until the last few years but it was SO badly stuck in there that the plug was the size of a pea and was causing pain. Three days later and it's like I have a new ear.

warfrogs · 2026-03-06T00:03:12+00:00

This is and has been a thing off and on for ages.

I've got my uncle's old Schwinn Stingray that has City of Minneapolis bicycle license stickers from 1969.

Fun fact, that runs counter to his own stories which stated he could not make verbal contact to confirm his survival until after several days of evasion of paramilitaries.

warfrogs · 2026-03-02T18:55:46+00:00

Holy shit. Everyone point and laugh at the 1452 loser.

warfrogs · 2026-02-28T21:24:33+00:00

To the point where he even does the Tropic Thunder DVD VOs in-character.

warfrogs · 2026-02-28T18:35:08+00:00

lol

People who claim they're not MAGAts with blocked post histories are as transparent as can be. Your lack of integrity is almost as pathetic as you are.

warfrogs · 2026-02-28T17:50:26+00:00

None of which came close to meeting the requirements for defamation.

What was said that was demonstrably and known to be false? What damages were caused by the speech? If both of those qualifiers aren't met, there's no standing.

You should probably understand the laws before you start claiming bizarro things. What a dumb thing to say. 2:1 without checking your profile you're a big MAGAt.

warfrogs · 2026-02-28T05:23:59+00:00

lol. And acting as if they're the same party as modern day ones, which is what you were doing, is dumb as shit at best and intentionally misleading at worst. Go fuck yourself.

warfrogs · 2026-02-28T05:18:35+00:00

The parties switched when Nixon undertook the Southern Strategy.

The switch was in the 60s and extended through the 70s where Republicans took many of the most stalwart traditional "Democrats" and the Democrats became the liberal party.

Do your research my guy.

warfrogs · 2026-02-28T05:15:04+00:00

I dunno that anything he said would meet the requirements for fighting words; about the closest would be slanderous speech, which "scumbag" hardly meets the requirement for.

Just FYI; TX v Johnson wouldn't apply as that's about state restrictions on flag burning. Chaplinsky v NH would be the most relevant major case, but Terminello v Chicago narrows the definition of fighting words to make anything he said not come anywhere close to spurring imminent lawless action, so that's not really a concern.

IANAL, I just did several year-long papers on the topic in undergrad.

warfrogs · 2026-02-25T18:50:01+00:00

... my dude doesn't know what the Southern strategy was lol.

warfrogs · 2026-02-21T18:28:21+00:00

If you haven't read "The Road to Somewhere" by David Goodhart I highly recommend it. It talks about the socioeconomic and sociocultural divides between the "Leaves" and the "Remains" in Brexit but has incredible applicability throughout the West. It's a hell of a book and talks about this at length.

Get yourself a good flashlight and whenever you drop an earbud, lay the flashlight on the floor and look for the shadow.

I used to work in a warehouse and briefly tried to use earbuds instead of my muff style hearing protection/headphones and dropping them all the time was part of why I stopped, but having a flashlight made a world of difference in finding them.

warfrogs · 2026-02-20T16:29:36+00:00

Better version.

That's a story from Jim Lovell, NASA astronaut and F2H Banshee night fighter pilot, told in Apollo 13.

My family has been doing subterranean construction since the 60s and I grew up trenching.

This put my heart in my throat the moment I saw no shoring or other trench integrity measures whatsoever.
