I love how the trads and fascists on here always reblog the grainy ass doomer memes about microplastics in our blood and yet are vehemently opposed to every single policy proposal that would reduce microplastics in any way. just one of the little things that gives me pleasure.

them: our (((globalist))) overlords are turning men gay and effeminate with environmental toxins

me: should we maybe try to regulate what toxins you can put into the environment then?

them: no

The real challenge of cooking for one is that potato size takes on disproportionate importance. There are so many dishes where one average potato isn't enough, but two average potatoes is too much, so now I'm assessing diameters and ratios like a tuber phrenologist in search of the potato that's just the right amount of potato.

Try going by overall weight rather than size

Do I strike you as the sort of person who can reasonably be expected to keep track of partial potatoes?

consider: any partial potato can simply be boiled. miniature mashed potato for you

Any partial potato will be forgotten in the back of the fridge until the resulting mould culture starts developing a state religion.

HOOPLA, OVERDRIVE/LIBBY NOW BANNED FOR THOSE UNDER 18 IN MISSISSIPPI

This country just keeps getting more and more off the rails. I can't even think of any pithy commentary to add - I'm just tired.

The law states:
(1)  A public library may offer digital or online resources or databases to persons only if the vendor or other person or entity providing the resources verifies that all the resources will comply with the provisions of subsection (2) of this section.  (2)  A vendor or other person or entity providing digital or online resources or databases under the authority of this section must have safety policies and technology protection measures that:           (a)  Prohibit and prevent a person from sending, receiving, viewing or downloading materials that are:                (i)  Child pornography;                (ii)  Materials that depict or promote child sexual exploitation or trafficking;                (iii)  Obscene materials, as defined in Section 1 of this act;                (iv)  Inappropriate materials depicting or dealing with matters of sex, cruelty and violence in a manner likely to be injurious or harmful to a child; or                (v)  Materials that are sexually oriented, as defined in Section 97-5-27(2); and           (b)  Filter or block access to obscene materials, inappropriate materials, materials that are sexually oriented or materials that depict, describe or promote child pornography or child sexual exploitation.
The definitions of what does not meet the standards above refer back to a different Mississippi code, Section 97-5-27. It defines “sexually oriented” materials as: [A]ny material is sexually oriented if the material contains representations or descriptions, actual or simulated, of masturbation, sodomy, excretory functions, lewd exhibition of the genitals or female breasts, sadomasochistic abuse (for the purpose of sexual stimulation or gratification), homosexuality, lesbianism, bestiality, sexual intercourse, or physical contact with a person’s clothed or unclothed genitals, pubic area, buttocks, or the breast or breasts of a female for the purpose of sexual stimulation, gratification or perversion.”

remembering that time I explained on Twitter that Jews are 0.2% of the world’s population and control like 1.2% of its wealth

while Christians are 30-something percent of the world’s population and control 55% of its wealth

so, like, there IS a minority of the world’s population controlling the majority of its wealth

Christians.

and of course a bunch of utter walnuts were like “SEE??? this proves that Jews ARE disproportionately wealthy!!!”

which, like, sure

sure

we have $1.20 to Christians’ $55

but sure, individually we average out to having a bit more pocket change than the world’s average

a couple of things, though:

-those are AVERAGES—it doesn’t mean that every Jew you meet is wealthy, especially because…

-we are such a small population that the existence of *one Jewish billionaire* would skew the average, learn what an average is ffs, if there are 10 of us and 1 is a billionaire and the rest of us have $0 dollars, on average we each have $100,000,000 but in reality 9 of us still have $0 dollars

-y’all killed off a LOT of our poor people less than a century ago which also tends to skew the average

The minority group (in the sense of being less than half the population; they’re still the largest religion) controlling the majority of the world’s wealth is Christians. Sorry about your favorite conspiracy theory.

y’all killed off a LOT of our poor people less than a century ago which also tends to skew the average

i want to print that out and staple it to ppl's foreheads. a lot of the jews who fled extreme violence, genocide, and ethnic cleansing were only able to do so because they had the funds. those who couldn't afford to leave were killed. and those who were barely able to scrape by enough to escape usually were forced into assimilation wherever they immigrated because poverty doesn't give you much of a choice.
