This caught my eye because the illustration matches the one on the front endpaper (think that’s what it’s called) in my childhood copy, which was handed down from my mother. She got it for Christmas in 1951.

Haha, it’s a big controversy. I think they’re all technically sweet potatoes, but typically yams are the long, orange ones (usually called yams when they’re canned) and sweet potatoes look like regular potatoes, but they’re sweet.

My New England family does traditional. My southern in-laws do “church picnic plus turkey.” While most of the food is good, it never feels special/like a real Thanksgiving to me. That’s what I meant by traditional is best. Didn’t mean to sound judgey. People should eat what they like.

Nope. I wouldn’t turn them down with syrup and cinnamon, but they would be sweeter than I prefer. Butter, salt, and pepper are all I need on sweet potatoes or yams. BTW, the only “sweet potato casseroles” (aka the stuff with marshmallows) I’ve ever seen were made with yams, not sweet potatoes.

American here. Sweet potatoes are awesome and are always a part of our thanksgiving meal. But I never heard of them with marshmallows until I married a southerner. Gross.

Absolutely. But she’s also a a self-serving opportunist, which—in this case—makes her a pretty good weathervane.

Ah, I was wondering what mental gymnastics the cult was going to go through to rationalize the evidence. Did not foresee changing the definitions of “legal” and “pedophile.”

Absolutely agree. It is chilling and what we should be focusing on—not the money because they are unlikely to see a cent. I meant to follow up my original post post saying exactly that, but got distracted. I am much more concerned about senators trying to put themselves above the law.

Oh, agree—that part of the bill (requiring phone companies to inform senators in the future) is definitely worth focusing on and being pissed about.

This is an extremely misleading quote. It’s limited to 9 senators and it’s not a bonus because they’d have to win their lawsuit first—and, IMO, it’s extremely unlikely they would (legal procedures were followed). There are a lot of things to be pissed about, but I don’t think this is one of them.

Oh, I think she’s the same self-serving, evil troll she’s always been. But, IMO, the fact that she thinks that saying the things she’s saying is in her best interest could be a sign that we’re getting closer to the day when the Rs in Congress finally turn on the dictator wannabe.

Not only that, but pizza is more filling and makes you feel full longer. I’ve tried to explain this to people for decades. From the perspective of the privileged, it appears that poor people make bad decisions but they are actually behaving rationally. Sociology classes should be required.

I WAS a taxpayer. Thanks to this administration, I am now a “tax recipient.”

You obviously don’t understand night owls. I’m not waking up before 8 am (and would prefer later), regardless of when the sun rises. So an extra early sunrise is wasted on me. But then I’m robbed of extra sunlight in the evening, so my window of being exposed to sunlight is very short.

This is exactly my problem and why it’s so hard for me to forgive and forget (though I do try). They were happy about other people getting hurt. All these conversion stories revolve around MAGAs suddenly being victims themselves. They still don’t really care about other people. They’re despicable.

From your own post: standard time “preserves morning sunlight.” Night owls don’t care about morning sunlight. We want later sunrises and sunsets, which is DST. I find it really hard to believe ANYONE likes it being dark before 5 pm.

Standard time is a nightmare for those of us who aren’t morning people. I could give a shit if the sun is up at 5 am because I am NEVER voluntarily awake at that time. But both morning people and night owls suffer when the sun sets at 4 pm. My gut says night owls were underrepresented. As usual.

Fascism is just a form of authoritarianism. To say one allows “even a semblance of resistance” and one doesn’t is absolutely ridiculous. His example of what happened in the USSR is a case in point. Protest isn’t tolerated under authoritarian regimes, no matter the flavor.

What the hell happened to you? I used to respect you but now you’re so hellbent on being superior that you’re putting up straw men. Grabbing political opponents off the street is authoritarianism. Grabbing people based on their identity (e.g, race) is fascism. YOU’RE. NOT. HELPING.
