Respectful disagree on point 2. Seasoned wedges are too much for poutine (prefer a well seasoned gravy), and there’s nothing inferior about russets if you prepare them correctly i.e. brine, double/triple fry

That’s not common sense. That’s greed.

Apparently eating the cartilage on a chicken wing is weird in the USA. Everywhere else I’ve lived it was pretty par for the course.

Also keep in mind we use a credit system that’s tied to so many important loan related necessities. If you don’t open credit cards and get into debt and pay it back regularly you won’t be able to finance/get a loan for a car or a house.

Predatory business practices, lack of willpower, consumer culture, inflation

Why would you rather see that over graphene? Don’t know enough about either

Well look, I’m not advocating for this coming government nor am I an economic expert. But in a vacuum one could impose tariffs on imported goods, tank the cost of labor in your own country, and force manufacturing back here, right? And in the long run, would be beneficial for local manufacturing instead of being so dependent on China. If it weren’t for the local oligarchy here I’d say it’s even a tough but fair plan for the economy. Knowing what we know, things will only get harder with no observable benefit for the working class as whatever improvement we manage to make will be sucked away by the ruling class. But the plan isn’t horseshit in a vacuum. Someone please feel free to tell me why I’m completely wrong as I’m not really speaking with too much conviction tbh

Pretty sure the plan is to actively tank the dollar

Are you like a boomer that can’t understand you’re not talking to the same person with every comment? You know lemmy is the whole forum, not a user you’re replying to right?

And yet, you pay for her priviledge

Nobody’s hating Jews. We all say fuck netanyahus Israel and people like you say “hey you can’t be antisemitic” and very intentionally never fucking acknowledge the difference exactly as you are doing you damn hypocrite

It’s not even about the general populace and what they want. We the people do all the groundwork for progressive politics and in the end it’s our own party that ignores us and does us in. That’s why I’m demoralized personally. I don’t think I’ll ever get fired up again for this party unless there’s radical shift to the left.

“needlessly facetious comment from when I was in a bad mood edited to this”

Today, I feel misinformed

That’s a hilariously misinformed response to that comment

I mean, don’t deny that it’s a lot worse now, well, because of the actions of the current Israeli government. It’s not really comparable to before. Understandably so.

You guys just allergic to admitting her policy and campaign were shitty? She really didn’t propose anything progressive whatsoever. I’m a Bernie guy and I reluctantly voted Harris. I knew it’d be another 4 years of stagnation, not progress.

Magnificent campaign 🤣🤣🤣

Do you really expect everyone to vote in the name of altruism? How naive can you be?
