It’s like they’re relishing doing everything they can to show everyone they own the shutdown

The article is from Oct 29. I doubt the SNAP situation is news to many on the fediverse. I shared it more so because A) What a tone deaf headline, and B) To share the epiphany it caused me.

Whoever decided to pursue the charges was a real turkey

Any time the prosecution wasted on this is time not spent on something else

I’m sorry you had to waste your time, but thank you for your service sub sandwich guy 🫡

There has been discussion of using state administered escrow accounts to temporarily hold federal taxes revenue:

Sounds like you’re not the folks I was referring to then…

In before folks let us know they don’t understand headlinese

True.

Only been on one cruise years ago but pretty sure the fine print you agree to says, if your not back on the ship when it’s time to leave port you’re on your own finding your way onward.

Comparison is the thief of joy

Oh - THIS Jan 6th; not that Jan 6th. I was so confused for a second.

In 2017, when a fleeing North Korean soldier sprinted across the border, North Korean soldiers fired about 40 rounds, before South Korean soldiers could drag the wounded soldier to safety.

A vast majority of about 34,000 North Koreans who have fled to South Korea since the end of the 1950-53 Korean War came via China, which shares a long, porous border with North Korea.

So is South Korea’s policy to accept all North Korean defectors?

Huh - I was under the impression that they were basically teflon/pfas with raised ridges so your metal utensils wouldn’t scratch the coating.

That is not based on any fact I saw anywhere - just the assumption my brain made when I saw them.

I had heard they were expensive but then I’ve also seen some generic/cheap ones at TJMaxx. Could be completely different material, though, while just copying the “look”.

All I know for sure is my inside out omelets only work with teflon pans (from what I’ve tested).

I wish ceramic non-stick worked as well. I do think it’s improving so hopefully it’ll get there…

For a Billionaire

Damn. What a let down…

Honestly I’m a bit tired of responses like “cause they’re corrupt” or “because they’re fascists”.

I feel this so much. Not only is it not productive, it short circuits thoughtful discussion that could actually be productive. So much so it makes me suspicious 🤔

Is this a reference to something new somewhere I’m not aware of?

Totally. I was just steaming over three other threads with the top comment being typical Lemmy doomer BS.

I understand why it didn’t come across as a “yes, and” comment. I just find little to no value to commenting/replying to trolls where my reply probably would have made more immediate sense. I’d rather talk to you…

SpaceNoodle?

But if we surrender in advance things will be better for us…🤪
