You do realize the student loan forgiveness that the Supreme Court struck down was Biden's initiative right?

What's the most expensive thing you've eaten? Was it worth it?
I've been to several Michelin places, usually around $300 - $400 per person without wine. Definitely worth it for the quality, creativity, and experience.
I've already had A5 Kobe at around $60 an ounce, and caviar around $250 an ounce. Both worth it for an occasional splurge.
I also had a glass of a 1967 Bordeaux (don't remember which one) that I didn't pay for and it was good, but nothing better than some $50 bottles I've had before. Granted I'm not a wine expert or anything so maybe it's quality was lost on me.

I'm going to miss finding old subreddits that are new to me and sorting by top. It seems your can do something similar with Lemmy, but there's just not enough content, yet.

What's your go to meal for under 2$ per person that isn't super common?

Add some furikake (Japanese rice topping) and a drizzle of sesame and chili oil! I do this every so often and it's great.

You're the one making absurd claims, so back them up. Oh yeah, you don't have any sources.

By your logic, minors wouldn't be allowed to confide in anyone they trust unless it's their parents.

Joe Biden to join picket line with striking auto workers in Michigan

What about the down ballot races? And honestly, your choice is trump or no trump. Not voting for Biden is pretty close to accepting fascism because you didn't get your perfect candidate.

How do people sleep on planes?
Ambien. Anyway, I have a Zzzband "pillow" that's essentially a large eye mask that has straps to strap your head to the headrest of your seat, great "travel pillow" I've ever used and I fly about 40 times a year.

The most Texan of all expressions - Y'All - is ungendered and therefore woke
Reply in thread
As a Texan, this is true. Traditional chili is based on the Mexican "chili con carne," meaning "chilies with meat."
Chili normally is a stew with 1 inch cubes of a tougher meat like chuck steak that's been stewed down until tender in a liquid (water or beef stock, sometimes even beer or coffee added) and a puree of reconstituted dried chiles (not chili powder) and other spices. Nothing else goes into traditional Texan chili. Beans are sometimes served on the side though. Adding beans is perceived as a cheap filter and skimping out on the meat.
This is the dish that started all of these other non-mexican versions of chili and you're missing out of you've never had it!

In my large city I've never seen anyone open carrying outside of some neck beard "protest."

A gay couple ran a rural restaurant in peace. Then new neighbors arrived.

I feel like the last paragraph is too abrupt. I don't understand why they didn't elaborate on exactly why they're selling the place. I mean we can guess that is about their terrible neighbors, but it could be health, finances, etc and it's like to hear it from the owners.

[meme] Trains are 100000x easier to electrify and automate than cars, so why does everyone keep talking about electric and driverless cars?

Especially since so many US cities are designed around cars.
