Yeah her book on him was insightful

Oh shit that first link is exactly something I’ve wanted for years. I’ve been linuxing from gui for a while and would like to know more, especially as I fuck around with my home server

She always reminded us of a vulcan

Idk I feel like some Oklahomans disagree

Religious studies is comparative. This is theology, and honestly probably C work at best in that.

It’d be so much more believable if she didn’t get bombarded with racism by their side

What if we insist that a circus clown on crack can’t be president. Like we’ve already got some coked up clowns, and so long as we find one that only speaks Canadian French and only cares about Quebecois politics it should probably be fine. And I’m sure someone from cirque was born here.

Vienna or Vienna with the eiffel tower though? And can’t sleep on Sydney, Canada, and Nancouver

Wait til you hear what the Latino republicans want, and the gay republicans… Turns out the bigotry party has bigots of all flavors

Hey, 28 year olds, you like that slop don’t ya, piggies.

A private business keeps accusing you of operating a meth lab using city water, now they get to sue the city water provider for not cutting you off. That’s basically what this is

Trump, losing manufacturing jobs? Unthinkable, what does he think this is? 2017-2020?

Yeah I work in manufacturing, Biden was good for business, Trump has been awful for it both times.

That’s fair. I’m in manufacturing so I associate it with physically difficult trade labor, low paid administrative labor, and low paid repetitive and boring labor. Some uneducated people develop plenty of skills, that said, my degree was a shortcut to skills and a direct path to a good career. The deal has gotten worse over the past few decades, but we still need people who have traditional educated knowledge. And I fear that we may face serious problems if education rates plummet.

The general education also had a drastic positive impact on my personal development as well, but I’m not rich enough to pay tens of thousands for that.

Give fresh a try. Canned green beans tend towards mushy where fresh have some crispness. A lot of people who like it swear by some trick, and I really think that upgrading the beans is the best strategy, upgrading the soup is risky with good payoff if you do it well, and upgrading the onions is something that I always see people suggest whenever fried onions appear and it’s a crazy increase in effort for at absolute best, very little improvement.

But what do I know I’m the cheese and potato casserole/mac and cheese relative.

Yeah I went to a cheap state school for an engineering degree. Sure I still haven’t paid it off yet, but it was definitely financially worth it. Even more worth it if you consider how much I don’t want to do uneducated labor for a living.

Ooh thanks, I’ll have to check it out!

I think it depends on size and relationship. Nobody brought anything to my grandparents (either side) until I started to. But it was always 10-11 people. Except when their same age siblings came, they’d bring something (much younger great aunt was never considerate of oma and opa). At my in laws’ we cook a dish. If we lived in town I’d probably bring a casserole, but even before we moved far away we still were hours away and you don’t want to leave a casserole for hours.

Friends though, always bring a dish except for the ones friend who has made it crystal clear that she doesn’t want people doing so because she’s insane and shows her love through elaborate meal planning. For her we just try to keep her liquor and wine cabinet overstocked and demand she let us help her with anything she wants.

Yeah they scale very explicitly in a nx line

Eh stovetop stuffing is popular enough that it’s reasonable to ask someone to bring it.

That said, general rule is requests can be like “dessert” or maybe a “cheesy casserole”. If someone has a dish they’re good at for potluck it’s reasonable to request that. But if you want specific dishes you should be doing a volunteer sign up

As the potato casserole aunt, you bet your ass it slaps. It had to unseat homemade painstaking mac and cheese to be my Thanksgiving dish
