I've been making Alton Brown's seedy date bars. Not too much prep, and quick to snag and enjoy! Maybe 170 calories per bar

Currently reading Proof of collusion : how Trump betrayed America

I finished Rigged by David Shimer just before this one. I really like the style of delivery here where there is seemingly no bias. A lot of quotes in the one I am currently reading, with evidence based context around it. Kind of letting you draw your own conclusions.

I'm only two chapters in thus far, but I'm really enjoying it. I had to reach past Witch Hunt: The Story of the Greatest Mass Delusion in American Political History by Gregg Jarrett to get this one at the library, can only imagine the "facts" in that one.

In the halls of my middle school, I felt like a ghost, invisible to everyone except the bullies who made my life a living hell. Every day, they taunted me, mocked my appearance, and tripped me in the hallway.

I tried to ignore them, but the constant harassment wore me down. One day, pushed to my limit, I finally snapped. When the ringleader, Jake, shoved me into a locker, I swung back, landing a punch square on Jake's nose.

The satisfaction of retaliation was fleeting as the principal's office became my next destination. Despite explaining my side, I was met with a stern lecture on violence and the consequences of my actions.

But in that moment of defiance, something shifted within me. I realized that standing up for myself didn't have to involve fists. It meant finding the courage to speak out, seeking help from trusted adults, and refusing to let the bullies define me.

That night my dad came into my room and savagely beat with a set of jumper cables for getting in trouble.

People do? Or is it just the poor?

You'll never make it in politics with that attitude.

korny ,

The strategy seems all too familiar, why are we letting this person become relevant?

Haha, been there as well. Took advantage of unlimited overtime for an easy job, but no way is it sustainable in the long term. I was waking up and clocking in immediately, only clocking out to eat and sleep.

Good to know! I didn't want to miss out on @kolanaki comments, but now I won't have to worry about it.

Where do the rural homeless near you live?

This seems to be something people don't always give second thought to. When people talk about the homeless, the first things thought about are images of people on busy city streets in rusty clothes waiting around near allies. In there, the answer is quite static, because it can be I guess. But if that's the case, change the...

One of the best on the channel!

Admittedly, the measures in place did not seem to work as intended. The light should have gone red before the truck had a chance to enter the intersection, and the sign should alert the driver that their truck is too large to go under the bridge. However, that doesn't stop everyone: https://youtu.be/-VokezIMLKE

Not sure if anyone claimed it was going to solve the world's problems by reclassifying this in the US, but you are correct.

I'm sure he'll take this threat very seriously just like all the other ones.

Trump can't run

Hasn't been able to do that for a LONG time.

Lemmy is the best, thanks for taking the time to change the link.

I agree, I listen to the podcast this came from originally and they do some really interesting stuff. The one they did with Tom Brady was really funny as well and actually got a cease and desist from his lawyers, I feel like they did this one a little better in that regard at least.

I watched the special last night and it's actually pretty good and they're very open multiple times that it's not actually George Carlin.

I'm pretty sure there's a third guy in the room with them that is their AI voice, because his hand movements usually correlate to Will's stream deck camera changes
