Bullshit! I wanna buy cheap fishing gear for a tenth of the cost at Dicks.
Better get some rods and reels en route before this goes into effect.

The mods decided political posts without jokes can fly here.
It sucks, I know, and it’s only gonna get worse as the US election draws nearer.
I’m not sure why they allow this, there’s plenty of places for political focused content, not sure why it has to swallow up this community as well.
Tangentially, whose idea was it that the day starts and ends at some arbitrary point in the middle of the night, not when the sun goes down? Like hello, sun is gone, day is over
Oh and no emails, boss, sorry, just like with Pesach, there’s a 4 drink minimum.
What’re you talking about? Hanukkah starts on the 25th of Kislev every year. It’s Christmas that shifts about all over the place! Luckily, this year it’s easy to remember as it also happens on the 25th of Kislev.
Though you wouldn’t know it’s one day from going to the stores! It feels like Christmas starts as early as the middle of Tishri these days!
Every single Jewish holiday is crucial to our faith and its the kind of disrespect I’ve become accustomed to that I have to be at work, today, on Mishuga Tuesday.
I understand political posts are just part of the time we live in and what not, I just think the ones postwd here should at least be funny.
I’ve gotten pretty good at making a hashbrown in about 7 minutes in the morning.
You grate the potato on a box grater, squeeze out whatever water you can, spread it over a plate, microwave it for 2 minutes with a paper towel over it, then pan fry for about 2 min on each side.
Preshredding does take out a part of that work, but it doesn’t seem worth it for the amount of potato I eat. I’m not feeding a family, though.
I wonder if you could get a good crisp out of the bagged shreds by similarly microwaving them. This part removes moisture and par-cooking them brings out their starches, which is what you need for a crispy hash brown.
Is this a meme?
A whole new kind of low quality, unimaginative, worthless crap is headed our way. Hurrah!
Is shredded potato a product you can buy?
Like preshredded in a wet bag?
That’s a damn good guess!
I was confused watching Reading Rainbow because I didn’t understand how a blind man could be reading to me.
Lil bonus, I know first hand why floppy disks are called that, but only because my dad had some old games.
They’re not a Russian operative, they’re using Nazi as shorthand for Zionist in an attempt to point out that Israel’s actions in Palestine are utterly abhorrent and the genocide happening there should be regarded with similar disdain as the genocides of Nazi Germany and Harris has taken a hardline stance of continuing US military support to Israel.
But it’s a clumsy shorthand, it’s ineffective in communicating to American voters, as it lumps two different groups of white supremacists together when there’s material distinctions that affect people living in America.
It’s meant to be glib against Israelis who would shudder at being compared to the genociders of their ancestors, but it isn’t Israelis voting in this election, so it mostly comes off as overly bitter.
It’s an easy trap to fall into as a leftist in America, as there’s so much abhorrently wrong with our political system, but that kind of vitriol isn’t often pragmatic and using disdainful shorthand isn’t useful in radicalizing the plurality of Americans necessary to revolutionize politics in this country.
P.S., For what it’s worth, treefrog, I largely agree with you, but you gotta meet people where they are, not where you want em to be. I think you’ll find that many people here are not folks who “just want to get back to brunch”, this was a far more applicable concept in previous elections, but rather they’re terrified of what harm could come from a second Trump term at home with regards to climate, economic (workers rights, etc.) and social policies targeting Muslims, POC, and LGBTQ people. What’s happening in Palestine is so utterly vile and it’s a gut wretchingly sad truth that no candidate that can win will make a significant difference on US policy towards Israel and the Palestinians. Harris should be called out on that. Lumping people who are going to begrudgingly vote against Trump for her as Nazi sympathizers just isn’t useful rhetoric.
I’d love to engage you in your point but that would make both of us sound like complete idiots.
Her smoking pot herself is irrelevant, it’s bad that people were prosecuted for using drugs.
The hypocrisy doesn’t matter, all politicians are lying hypocrites, I’m voting for the one that ain’t supported by Nazis trying to drag America backwards a hundred years.
Focusing on the materially changes a Harris or Trump administration would have on Palestinians is a great point.
I don’t know what material difference Harris would make, and vibes alone aren’t a good way make those kinds of decisions.
I do believe a Trump presidency would be worse for Muslims in America and I think that’s a valuable metric to consider, but, fuck, even if I think Harris is the pragmatic choice, I couldn’t wholly condem someone for being less than enthusiastic about voting for someone who will continue the genocide of their friends and family.
I’ve also become fairly pessimistic about progress in the US, but I think it’s incredibly important to buck against the rise of the right-wing authoritarianism in the US and unfortunately that means supporting the DNC this year.
I think you’re right about both the weapons being the primary factor and that neither party will stop shipping them, though I also think Harris would put more pressure on Israel to end the atrocities and push for ceasefire. It’s admittedly not nearly enough, but American politics never is.
That’s the challenge the DNC has, isn’t it? I wouldn’t relish that job since I think Harris’ position won’t change, the DNC being the institution it is.
I think if I had do, I’d argue that while the DNC is 100% wrong on Palestine, Trump is stronger in his support of Israel, he’s even less sympathetic to the Palestinians AND he will aim to make life in America harder for Muslims just as he tried in his first term.
It’s a pragmatic choice, not an enthusiastic one, and it’s hard to drive voters to the polls on pragmatism alone.
Buddy if I buy Panther Marten lures off Ali Express or from Dicks they come from the same factory in the same packaging at the same quality, but one costs $1.12 and the other $7.99.
It’s being manufactured in China anyway, I’m just avoiding the beak wetting Dicks and Walmart do to pay their shareholders.
Plus it ain’t like the US actually has any qualms with slave labor, just look at all the industries that take advantage of prison labor in the States.
