Hey, so the 15 million thing isn’t true. That was the number before all of the votes came in. She actually gained votes in battleground states, but lost them in non-battleground states (states that didn’t really matter). Just a heads up. We need to be using facts here (not trying to attack, just trying to get that information out).

Yeah. It’s photoshopped. Good catch mate.

It most certainly should not.

Aaaaaaaaaaaand that’s exactly why the opening scene of Juon: Black Ghost/White Ghost made me scream like a child. The dread that rises up when something doesn’t feel right. There’s no build up to a scare…it just slams into you full force. Only movie I ever screamed while watching. Only happened once…but good God. We had to pause the movie and laugh for about 10 minutes as both me and my sibling both screamed.

I used it to write a kickass counteroffer for an internal job promotion. I was pissed off with the offer and wrote out what I REALLY thought. I asked GPT to clean it up and respond with and upbeat and positive response where I’m eager to work with them.

ChatGPT about to help me get an $18k raise.

Hey! It’s me! The CIA!

I used to do a shit ton of yardwork on edibles. Made it so much more chill.

… Always has been.

Yeah, sorta.

• 311 is a shit show. You have to pretty much get involved with your local government officials to get literally anything done, otherwise you can just live with your pothole.
• City officials have had a hard on for a minor league baseball stadium for fucking YEARS. They asked Richmond citizens for their vote on it, and every single time people said fuck no. It’s $110 million that could have been used to repair crumbling infrastructure, provide support programs, add additional affordable housing, repair our busted streets…noooo, why do that when we can go to a fucking minor league baseball game. Good idea Stoney. It’s getting built by 2026. That’ll for sure bring in money Stoney. Wonder what sort of kick back he’s getting as he’s only been pushing it for like 5 years.
• City officials also hard a hard on for a casino to bring in additional “needed money” that they planned to throw in absolutely terrible locations. No one wanted it. I think we had to vote it down like half a dozen times. Petersburg, a crumbling ruin struggling town is now voting to add it. Just what it needs.
• Look up the history of Jackson Ward.
• Shcokoe Bottome still has buildings were destroyed in the flood back 30 years ago that have yet to be revitalized (but a fucking stadium is fine, right?)

Thats just off the top of my head. Love it here though. Just…lots of annoyances.

Just realized the lemmy.ml is entirely leftist. ML apparent stands for Marxist-Lenonist.

Time to block a second entire instance. fml.

I get what you’re saying, it’s capitalism vs socialism, not Democracy vs socialism, however my issue is that they don’t even like our Democracy. I got banned for even supporting it.

They were slamming how terrible our liberal politicians were, so I made a few comments about it and I got banned for defending them. It’s frustrating…but whatever…

Leftist admins when you say anything remotely supportive of Democracy instead of circlejerking the leftist next to you.

Yes, please ignore the giant 15 lb bird in the room. Sure. Just act like it’s not there. Of course I don’t have 20 questions about the bird…

I read it the article, but why did the government pass something like that? They had to realize that there would be substantial pushback. And what’s with all of the violence? 110 deaths is absolutely insane.

What’s going on in Bangladesh? First I’ve heard of anything going on.

It’s me lol. And yes it is. I agree

Obligatory: Sir, this is a Wendy’s…

I just hit no tip and say thanks! And walk out. It’s not difficult.

What are they going to do? Make a scene? I pray they would.

I’m sorry, you tell me what fucking service I’m tipping you for? Do you tip your plumber? Do you tip the attendant at a roller coaster at a theme park? Do you tip front desk attendant at a hotel? No…pray tell, why do you think you need a tip for pouring me two-hour old hot bean water? Did you grind it by hand at my request? Did you personally see to it that I received only the very best beans at ye Starbucks roasteries? No? Then fuck off.

Bro, that’s not good Mac and cheese. You haven’t had good Mac and cheese. I promise you.

Check out how to use sodium citrate and what it does.

Them get yourself some of your favorite cheese.

For me, smoked Gouda and cave aged cheddar and a little pecorino romano if I’ve got it.

Roughly 4-5g of sodium citrate per 100g of cheese. Use water or milk, start with a half cup and add more as you need it, honestly there’s more than enough fat content in the cheese that it won’t make a difference. Shred cheese and add to simmering water. Keep adding cheese until everything is in the pot, and the sauce is perfectly smooth. There should be no lumps. Add more water or milk to desired consistency, and add some mustard powder, cayenne, and garlic. And salt to your preference. It’s the creamiest Mac and cheese you’ll ever have, and the depth of flavor is game changing. I promise you.

You can even take it to the next step with caramelized onions or shallots and some crumbled sausage. Finish with some bread crumbs, a little paramesian, and some smoked paprika on top, and toss it under the broiler for a minute to toast up.

For reference, the photo of the “Juneteenth” version is melted cheese with noodles. Fuck that. The recipe I gave you will look like the stuff on the right, and its so fucking good, you’ll discover God in that bowl of Mac and cheese.

Cause you’re tasting that sweet, sweet nostalgia.

I’d bet if you gave someone that’s never had Mac and cheese before Kraft Mac vs a good gourmet Mac, the gourmet will win by an absolute landslide.

Cheap Mac and cheese isn’t good because it’s good… It’s good because of the old memories attached to it.
