Like Eisenhower said, “Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.”

Think of it as paying $100,000 for a photocopy of a Mark Lemke baseball card that everyone already has and they’re still giving away for free in packages of Big League Chew, and the only thing “rare” about it is the certificate of authenticity confirming you paid too much for it.

To the person advising everyone to not buy real trees (that I can’t reply to for some reason):

Never mind, stupid Kinja.

WTF are you on about? Real trees stay in the ground for 3-15 years depending on the variety and height, and are immediately replanted the next season. They don’t require fertilizer, do not require pesticides and are usually sold hyper-locally (certainly not shipped from China). They can be recycled into mulch and are…

I’m sorry, Mariah Carey might have more album sales and I’m very happy for her, but that does not make her the queen of Christmas. That throne has been occupied since 1963.

These pork patties + these pickles (sliced thin) + chopped onion + the cheapest hoagie rolls you can find = year-round McRibs.

There is an interesting intersection between racial justice and mental health/disability awareness here.

The biggest one: remove the law that says you can claim self defense if you shoot someone who reaches for your gun making you “feel threatened” - even if you are the aggressor and pulled your gun on them first.

Nope. Was thinking it would be a pretty cool project.
For someone else.  

OK I know it’s possible to make gravy beforehand, it was more of a joke, thinking you have no turkey in your turkey gravy. Of all the things you could save time on, gravy isn’t one I’d prioritize. It’s literally 20 minutes of time with 5 minutes of actual work; two minutes for the roux, 3 minutes stirring in the…

My whole family is the “leftovers taste better” type, so I make my dressing the day before and put the pan in the fridge, covered. Same with the mashed potatoes. I get half-way through the mac and cheese recipe (cooking noodles, making the rue base and melting the cheese in, mixing into the noodles) then put that in…

I use an enzyme-based drain maintenance liquid once a month and have never even had a slow drain, even in the kitchen where our grease discipline isn’t the best. I really like ZEP products; this and a good trap on the shower drain even keeps the tub clog-free with four people with very long hair in the house.

So he’ll be back out there “protecting property” again during the riots tonight since he didn’t do anything wrong, right?

Also, now that gun nuts believe they’ve been told that “they were coming right for me” is a valid legal defense for murder, how many of them are going out with the express idea of “shooting up some…

So Consumer Reports is relying on subscriber reports via surveys?

THANK YOU. Now I feel less weird about having screamed at all the children abusing their privilege by coming up to my door on Halloween dressed as Squid Game characters.

I never forget to buy them but the one thing I do seem to forget every year is putting rolls in the oven. I get so worked up over the other, more complicated dishes (timing them so they’re done around the same time, not letting things burn, adding ingredients at the right time) that when I finally put everything out…

Meijer (Kroger) has their store-brand turkeys for $0.33/lb. with no minimum purchase. Got a 15 lb turkey for ~$5, that’s good enough for me. If you’re feeling like a millionaire, Butterballs are $.99/lb; no reason to sweat for a “free” turkey by spending a ton of money on other things or giving away private data on…

Their consciousness expanded so much that their brain fell through the cracks.
