  • Until the punishments are targeting the people hiring undocumented workers, it's all just racist bullshit.

  • I listen to the Up First podcast every morning. Then I see what I see while doom scrolling lemmy. That's pretty much it.

    My wife leaves MSNBC on just about all day long, and it's rare she mentions anything I don't already know about.

  • Ok, this is interesting because this question just came up with my wife.

    I started playing the original Civilization game in college.

    I shifted to freeciv when it became available.

    If you consider them the same game, I've been playing that game about 34 years.

  • would you like a recipe?

    If you have a good recipe, I'd suggest that your question should be restated in a form that includes that recipe.

  • But the thing about that kind of concentration of power is it's not a matter of if that power will be abused, it's only a matter of when.

    I'm thinking it's more about how much of the abuse you can tolerate. It's not like the US has been all that hesitant to abuse our allies in the past. It's more like our allies have previously been able to convince themselves that the benefits outweighed the costs.

    Like the friend who's an asshole, but he's got a 120" TV and is happy to share his booze. When he gets drunk and makes an inappropriate joke, you might ignore it. You tell your wife that he's not that bad and you owe him for all he did for you in college.

    The US has reached the point of whipping it's dick out and waving it around at everyone at the party. It's time to leave.

    We just managed to get my wife's mother to use "people of color". Don't give her an excuse to backslide!

  • What mistakes did your parents make while raising you that you will be careful to avoid in your own parenting?

    Jump

  • I think when people think in terms of "my dad did this, I won't do that", they often miss what the real issue was. They end up being bad parents, just in a different way.

    My wife and I raised three kids, and I fucked them up in my own special way. Not anything like how my parents did me.

    If I were to look back over my life and offer advice, the advice I'd offer is: get some therapy. Have a disinterested, professional person to talk to every, single, damn week for the rest of your life. Being a parent will fuck you up.

    And that's coming from someone who doesn't regret having kids.

    When I was first thinking about having kids, I was thinking I didn't have the right personality. I spoke to my brother who had one child at the time, and he explained that when you have a kid you're so filled with love for them that nothing they do bothers you.

    I had a kid. From birth to about 18 months, he screamed. He screamed for everything. He would scream for hours about anything that bothered him. My mom worked as a nurse in a hospital nursery. She cared for her kids, friends kids, family's kids. She said that in her entire life she never heard a baby scream so loud. My MIL was also a nurse and worked in maternity. Same deal. She was amazed at how loud he was.

    I called my brother up to yell at him. He said I was right and he got it wrong. His first kid was easy. His second kid would get him so tight he'd have to leave the house to get away from her.

    Back to my kid: Everyone asks, "oh, was it colic?" No. Not colic. The instant he started talking, he stopped screaming. The screaming was just what he did to communicate before he could talk.

    I mention the story about the screaming because that was the easy part of parenting.

  • What are your favorite healthy snacks?

    Jump

  • No one mentioned it, so I'll throw it out here:

    Popcorn.

    I'm not particularly concerned about avoiding fat or salt, so I drown it in butter, but you do you.

    After one of my kids killed our microwave by putting a package of popcorn in it and turning it on for way too long and forgetting it, I banned microwave popcorn from the house and got an air-popper. The thing is awesome. I never liked the microwave popcorn, but the air-popped popcorn became my snack of choice.
