- Comment on Vegan drink Oatly can’t call itself ‘milk’, judges rule 2 weeks ago:
some places called nut-based milk “mylk” to avoid this legal complication.
they could probably start doing that.
- Comment on How the Fuck did Trump Actually Win - F.D Singifier 3 weeks ago:
when people ask me how Trump won, I explain that Americans care so little about women as a group that they’re letting them die in front of hospitals rather than allowing them to have health care.
“allowing” them.
so the party hoping to elect a woman president is at an extreme disadvantage.
I also think domestic and international election interference election interference plays a much more significant role in American elections than people think and in hindsight and future history textbooks, people will be shaking their heads, not just at the electoral college, but at direct election interference securing Republican victories.
people don’t think election interference is important because we hear the word gerrymander or social media bias or “Russian troll farms” and since they’re omnipresent, they’re dismissed, although they have direct practical influence on campaigns and election processes.

it looks like mom’s fried rice is a separate dish that has more ingredients, you can add mushrooms and meat and a bunch of vegetables, but the recipes for this “kids” mom’s fried rice only have egg, rice and cabbage, plus sauce:

- Comment on Is there any word of the how the tariffs or taxes that will be imposed by next USA government affect consulting from external countries? 5 weeks ago:
that’s basically what’s going to happen again.
US companies will use less consulting because it’s more expensive.
- Comment on I have been told ever since I was a little shit that when you die you go to heaven first wait in line for St Peter to judge you at the pearly gates? Is this in the Bible? I thought god did judging 5 weeks ago:

- Comment on Why is the word "expat" a thing? 5 weeks ago:
I hear the word expat all over the world, I don’t think it’s regional.
“immigrant” gives the impression that you are traveling to get to someplace, while expat implies that you are traveling to get away from someplace, as I’ve heard it used.
- Comment on How do I get over fear of cooking? 5 weeks ago:
get a rice cooker.
One button.
there are recipe books about how to use a rice cooker to cook all sorts of stuff (rice, curries, hot pot, soups, pasta, steamed anything)
with that same one button.
after you get comfortable heating up food so that you can eat it, you can try a pan or a Crock-Pot, whatever strikes your fancy.

I’m sure the room is real, but that is not the average.
That is a very nice Swedish dining room.

- Comment on Whats the best search engine that looks similar to google 1 month ago:
do you mean it doesn’t correct your misspellings as you type or it doesn’t correct your search terms?
mine corrects my search terms if i type colude instead of collude or something,
" is am a pronoun" gives me “am is not a pronoun”.
there are a few results under that mentioning that “am” should be used with pronouns, heavily implying that it isn’t a pronoun itself.
that’s a tricky search because “am” is such a small and common word, I get more direct results (after the direct answer from duckassist) If I put quotes around am, like
is “am” a pronoun?
sorry it didn’t work out for you, are you trying other browsers or reverting to the googs?

- Comment on Is Batman a Scientist? 1 month ago:
I’m not sure how those two questions are related, but Batman’s very knowledgeable in pretty much all sciences, and extremely technologically talented, so I don’t see how he could not stop a runway monorail.
- Comment on What are the next steps for Americans to help prevent the worsening of genocide in Palestine? 1 month ago:
this genocide is The conclusion of a 50-year crusade by the Israelis, and Trump said he’s fully on board with Netanyahu finishing his attack on Palestine.
and dumps is going to be in charge of The US military in a couple months.
so there isn’t much you can do
this will be one more concluded genocide in the books.
- Comment on Can Trump pardon himself even though he did criminal stuff outside of office? 1 month ago:
yes. The constitution is vague enough about official presidential duties that the official duties of the president that are immune to prosecution can literally mean anything.
Trump is functionally immune from any legal consequences for any actions he takes.
- Comment on Did 70% of Wisconsin voters just delete their own constitutional guarantee to be eligible to vote? 1 month ago:
“Doesn’t this change the meaning of the statement so much that it’s no longer true that every citizen of age who is a resident is eligible to vote?”
yep, especially in a country like the US where gerrymandering is still legal.
“Can this new language be interpreted by courts and lawmakers such that anyone can be disenfranchised if such malicious laws can be passed in the state?”
oh yeah, this can handily accelerate voter suppression.

- Comment on Did Trump vote? Could he have? 1 month ago:
had to pay $100 million.
which is not nothing.
- Comment on Did Trump vote? Could he have? 1 month ago:
he voted in palm Beach because he hasn’t been sentenced yet.
after he gets sentenced, he’ll be ineligible to vote.
- Comment on How do Americans win their country back? 1 month ago:
progressive policies are annually more popular and conservative policies and election results like 2016 and 2024 are won mainly by the old guard funding and utilizing their careful network of voting interference and collusion.
Andrew Tate is a vile exception amongst younger generations, not the rule.

- Comment on America Hires a Strongman | This was a conquering of the nation not by force but with a permission slip. Now, America stands on the precipice of an authoritarian style of governance never before seen 1 month ago:
“strong”?
how?
Thomas is one of the weakest people I’ve ever heard of.
- Comment on How do Americans win their country back? 1 month ago:
No, there is a concerted effort by conservatives to use voter suppression to subvert the will of the majority in the US.
conservatives are clawing back the country right now by hook and by crook.
can’t go on forever, but I don’t know which is going to last longer: the country or the aging frightened conservatives willing to subvert democracy to hang on to control.

according to the National chicken council (glad I get to say that), that isn’t exaggeration.
Americans are eating 1.4 billion wings, and there are a few hundred million people all making individual grocerydecisions; there’s not some big super Bowl robot that goes around murdering chickens, regardless of how cool an episode of Aqua teen hunger Force that would be.
