Average forefinger and thumb grasps about 1-1.5 servings of spaghetti. Pasta in general, any shape, 1 pound serves 4-6.

"Pro-life" is the biggest lie ever. They're death cultists who just want more blood to spill for their imaginary blood god.

Forcibly for others is obviously unacceptable and has nothing to do with anything I said. I was talking about voluntarily disassociating myself from a violent and catastrophic species. You're deranged to suggest my words contained any other insinuation.

What common grocery item(s) is it absolutely fine to buy the cheap/unbranded version of? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

Honestly, i've always approached this question the reverse of how it's posed here. Pretty much every store brand whatever is just fine.
But, picking a few fancier versions of things as exceptions is nice sometimes.

Lately for me, Kingdom aged organic cheddar and Kerrygold butter have been my indulgences. I don't eat much dairy, so they last me a long time. They're loaded with flavor. And, it's just nice to have a few things that feel special.

My kids won't have this problem. Given the circumstances that have been obvious for 40-50 years I made the best and most responsible parenting decision possible. I didn't have any.

The people at the top don't want the people under them competing with them for bribes. They want to make sure all gifts come directly to them.

While they're both horrible and there's no good way to compare atrocities, I never expected to even briefly think the words: "At least the Nazis killed their victims first." Yet, here we are.
This shit is way outta hand.

Lemmy users where falsely accused of plagiarism, how did it happen ? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

If the teacher is going to basically plagarize the assignment and I've already done it elsewhere to the best of my ability, how the hell am I supposed to do anything other than resubmit the work I'd done for that assignment the first time?

That doesn't make sense to me. Even after reading the below referenced wikipedia section on self plagiarism, it seems a contested topic and kinda ridiculous.

From the Marion Record article:

Stressed beyond her limits and overwhelmed by hours of shock and grief after illegal police raids on her home and the Marion County Record newspaper office Friday, 98-year-old newspaper co-owner Joan Meyer, otherwise in good health for her age, collapsed Saturday afternoon and died at her home.
....
As her home was raided, other officers descended upon the Record office, forcing staff members to stay outside the office for hours during a heat advisory. They were not allowed them to answer the phone or make any calls.
....
Marion vice mayor Ruth Herbel’s home also was raided at the same time.
....
A Record reporter later requested a copy of the probable cause affidavit necessary for issuance of the search warrant
District court, where such items are supposed to be filed, issued a signed statement saying no affidavit was on file.
County attorney Joel Ensey, whose brother owns the hotel where Newell operates her restaurant, was asked for it but said he would not release it because it was “not a public document.”
