The fact that one side is a piece of shit doesn’t mean the other side isn’t also a piece of shit

The more I hear from this woman, the more I feel like there might actually be a decent heart deep down inside who wants to better her country, but is being hindered by an incredibly stupid brain that is calling the shots.

Um… yes??

Did you read the linked article? The regulation doesn’t define ketchup as a vegetable. It explains how that was a thing people concocted to attack the proposed nutritional standards as being too lax.

Not sure if you made the recipe already, but I recommend baking it for longer than it calls for, because the “pourable pizza dough” is really watery and will be undercooked otherwise. You should probably bake it for an additional 7–8 minutes more than it says to bake it for before adding toppings, and then keep it in the oven for another extra 2–3 minutes once toppings are added. I get that school pizza does not necessarily taste great anyway, but I think this change improves the flavour a lot.

The State will spend hundreds of dollars a day to keep someone locked up but don’t worry because they will make it back by skimping on five dollars worth of food and serving people mystery product #4291 instead.

The rectangular pizza is not actually that processed. It comes from a US Department of Agriculture recipe and you can make it at home using common grocery store ingredients, although the USDA recipe is intended to make 100 servings.

The recipe does call for something called “pourable pizza dough” but there’s a recipe for that too and it’s basically just very thick pancake batter.

Ketchup is not considered a vegetable in America. That is a myth. Some random school official essentially made the equivalent of a shit post (said something stupid in a meeting with no serious intent) and local papers ran with it.

That’s the dual state for you. The normative state applies to all actions by Trump and his goons, everyone else is subject to the prerogative state. This case is just the normative state being used to protect the prerogative state.

Wikipedia usually links archived versions at the Internet Archive instead.

I hear that people usually use a fake coin for unlocking the trolleys. But because they only have one fake coin people don’t want to lose it so the trolley is always returned.

In Oregon, all eligible bottles can be returned at any retailer. Large retailers are required by law to accept up to 144 bottles from anyone. The deposit is $0.10 here, so the amount earned by returning a large number of bottles is pretty significant.

The Supreme Court ruled that district courts can only grant relief to the parties of the case. So the district court is powerless to protect those who don’t file a case before it, with one exception, which is a class action. That’s why the DC public defender wants to change the case to a class action, because that is the only way they can get the board to stop enforcing against everyone.

More specifically, the Supreme Court ruled that the court can’t enjoin an agency from enforcing the rule in question, except against the actual named parties to the case.

So if John Doe and Jane Roe sue an agency and want an injunction, the court can only order the agency to not bother those two people. It cannot order the agency stop doing the thing altogether to all people, even in one area only. That requires a class action.

The Supreme Court ruled in Trump v. CASA that district courts don’t have the power to issue nationwide injunctions to enjoin government agencies from enforcing policies nationwide. Instead, they say that a case needs class action status in order for a court to issue nationwide relief.

In the US, some states have a similar scheme. But usually there are dedicated bottle return centres which have a machine that dispenses cash when you scan the receipt printed by the bottle counting machine. And at supermarkets, if you scan the receipt from the bottle counting machine at a self-checkout, it will count as an item with negative price so it will dispense “change” if you finish with a negative total.

Also, is 21,000 words really that many? The story I’m just about finished writing for fun is at 140K words. I’m starting my fourth read-through for editing. It’s not that big of a deal. I guess people don’t read anymore?

Allow me to poke some fun at this.

Also, is a 1,000 calorie cupcake really that many? The wedding cake I just finished baking is at 25,000 calories. This is the fourth one I’ve made. It’s not that big of a deal. I guess people don’t eat anymore?
