The wealthy already got their Christmas bonus from the US government months ago

Nightmare? … I thought it was the American Dream … either way, you have to be asleep to experience it

Can I come too? Do you have room for uninvited guests? I won’t talk to anyone or bother anyone … I’ll just eat :)

Once you do enough cooking, you start to realize that most recipes can be rendered down to a few basic components and combinations … and it all depends on what region of the world you’re in, what culture, what foods are available and what you grew up with.

Cooking, preparing, cutting and serving a turkey/chicken is fairly simple if you stick to just the basics … and use a digital thermometer to monitor the internal temperatures

Gravy is a bit of a trick but do it enough times and you get the hang of it … if all else fails, have a packet of instant gravy mix handy (it makes gravy in about ten minutes)

Everything else with the Thanksgiving dinner is basically just boiled vegetables … if you plan on anything more complicated than this, then you are spending the entire day in the kitchen.

Dessert can be very simple or very complicated … depending on how masochistic you want to be … but it’s best to prepare the sweet stuff a day or two ahead of time.

Whatever you do … stay in the kitchen and pay attention to everything that is cooking, baking, frying or boiling … if it’s roasting for hours, stay nearby and be ready to act on it if anything changes or goes bad … in your off time when nothing needs to be done in the kitchen, wash the dishes and clean the space, because you’ll be making a mess again as soon as you start processing food again anyway.

If you’re not cooking, you’re cleaning. If you’re not cleaning, you’re cooking.

Its not a feature … it’s a goal

You don’t get a SIM

You become a SIMP

It’s not “Gmail can read your emails” … Gmail has been reading your emails for years.

I think they’re programming the ketamine into the LLM at this point

America: “… Fool me once, shame on…shame on you. Fool me—you can’t get fooled again.” … (weird George Bush snickering)

In the 70s and 80s parents were still able to be at home to make actual food for their children.

Since then, everyone is always on the run and everyone always relies on the cheapest fastest food that is available … ultra processed foods you can just pop in a microwave, heat and eat … or just plain old take out … and if you can’t afford decent take out, you buy the cheapest burger and fries you can find.

Do all that for 20 years and its a guarantee that you will have digestive issues later in life.

I have one friend who had a picky kid that he and his wife never really parented or seriously watched over. They were both busy with 9-5 jobs and they just let the kid do whatever he wanted from the time he was born. From the time he was toddler, all he ever demanded was fries and chicken nuggets - nothing but fries and chicken nuggets - always. I told them it was a bad idea and that it wasn’t good for the kid but its their family and all we could was watch. When the kid turned 11, they had to remove his gall bladder because of the bad diet and the kid has never had good health since.

I’m surprised it hasn’t happened more often.

This is what America wanted … to hurt the people they don’t like.

Only problem is, the government they allowed to take power hates them all

It also never seemed to matter if the predictions worked, were accurate or even came to be … it was just another farmer thing … a farmer thing to talk about it. Everyone I knew who read it or referenced it, either swore by it or said it was no good … and those same people would turn around and say the opposite the next time.

The best part of it all was just that it was there and always there.

That’s a bit sad … I used to pick up a copy every second year whenever I remembered it. It was always one of those things that was just always there and something that you thought would be around forever … at least during your own lifetime.

I remember my old neighbours talking about it, referencing it and reading it. I remember old farmers swearing by it. I remember old time hunters and trappers using it as a guide for weather … whether it worked for anyone or not, it was a mainstay that a lot of old time folks enjoyed.

It feels like the passing of another thing from our past.

Boomer logic … they have life so good that they honestly believe that everyone else of every generation should be like them. They have no clue or little understanding that times have changed and people are living with little or not enough but they just don’t care.

I gave up on blaming this shit on Trump over a year ago …

… it’s all on America at this point for putting up with this shit.

I used to get those when I was a kid in the 80s. There was always two or three people that would make them and give them out … definitely a Halloween treat that is lost to people today.

Haven’t seen or tried them in years.

Not officially banned … just a whole bunch of stuff from the 80s and 90s where everyone freaked out and thought strangers were putting razor blades, hyperdermic needles and metal scraps in food to poison kids … none of it was true (it might have happened in a few instances but not widely)

Since then, its recommended everywhere not to accept homemade treats unless you trust the people you get them from.

You are right … it isn’t banned … it’s just not recommended.

Parents walking Halloween with their kids will refuse receiving anything that is custom packaged or homemade … most if not all parents will only accept store bought official ‘halloween’ candies and chocolates.

Racism doesn’t flourish because of racist behaviour … the world will always have a few racists around

Racism flourishes when no one … or not enough people … stand up against it to say that it is wrong and to actually do something about it.

America isn’t devolving to becoming racists because of some dumb politician … America is devolving because everyone is just standing around doing nothing about it all.
