This guy and his name calling lol. What grade is he in?

“I won the Debate.” - lol, what?? There were no points. No one won. It was merely a chance for each candidate to appeal to the voters.

“Everyone knows this” - No they don’t. If everyone knew that, he wouldn’t be saying it just like he’s not saying that we’re on planet Earth because everyone already knows that.

“KAMALA SHOULD FOCUS ON WHAT SHE SHOULD HAVE DONE DURING THE LAST ALMOST FOUR YEAR PERIOD.” - She was the Vice President. Her role is basically to break ties in the Senate and go to social gatherings to fill in for the President.

“THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!” - Cause he saw how much it affected him in the polls. If the debate had helped him, he’d be calling for more debates. It would make no sense to be losing but declining debates because it helped the polls.

He must have seen how stupid he looked up there. She was laughing at him with his stupid pet-eating rant. The dude tanked his chances with that part alone. The “concepts of a plan” was just a bonus.

Yes, of course! Let’s share to make the world happier 🙂

Ingredients

• 2 cups of basmati rice
• ½ cup dried black beans
• 1 cup dry white cooking wine
• 1.5 garlic heads peeled (I’m a garlic head).
• ½ green bell pepper plus two strips
• ½ Spanish/sweet onion
• 5-10 pitted manzanilla green olive (I use the ones with pimiento in them)
• However much lard you feel comfortable with. I use about two heaping spoons full.
• ½ cup of olive oil
• 1 bay leaf
• oregano to taste
• parsley to taste
• a slight pinch of paprika
• salt and black pepper to taste
• cilantro to taste (if you like cilantro, ofc)

Steps

1. Get half a cup of olive oil, and press half a full garlic into it. Set it aside for later.

2. Soften the beans using your preferred method. I use a pressure cooker. Add the two strips of green bell pepper to this process.

3. Dice the onion and leftover bell pepper. Chop the olives in half.

4. Use a garlic press and sautee a garlic in the lard at a temperature just enough to make it sautee. The lower, the better. This gets the lard tasting like garlic oil. We want to make sure we don’t overcook the garlic and so that it turns brown. I like to do this in a cast iron pot so I can make the rice in it later.

5. Once the lard looks like it tastes like garlic, add the diced onion and rest of bell pepper. This mix is called “sofrito”.

6. Once the onion is translucent, strain half of the beans using a spatula against the pot and sautee them with the sofrito. You can also add half of the rice to this mix. Get the delicious oil into the beans and rice!

7. Once you feel that the beans and rice have enough juice in them (probably around 5-10 mins), we’re going to make the arroz con gris. Place all of the rice, beans, and sofrito in a pot.

8. Add 2 cups of black water leftover from the bean softening process and 1 cup of cooking wine. Sometimes, people will use half a cup of cooking wine and half a cup of vinegar.

9. Add the herbs: oregano, parsley, and an optional small amount of paprika. It’s hard to put too much oregano, but be more careful with the parsley. Don’t put too much paprika it can be overpowering. We want just a slight barely noticeable hint of paprika. Add salt and pepper to taste. If you’re unsure of the amount, use less than you feel comfortable with because you can always add it later when you’re eating it. Also, add bay leaf.

10. Set the stove to high and get the mix to boil, and as soon as it does, lower the temp to a low simmer (like 1-2 on my stove), and close the pot with a lid. Set a timer for 20 mins. Once the timer goes off, check it. If it looks wet, it still needs to cook more. If it looks dry but hard, you might need to add ¼ more black water and this means the temp is too high. If it looks almost done, then turn the stove off. After ~5 mins, take the top off, and mix it with a spatula. It’s almost done! Note: The more often you lift the lid to check the rice, the more you will need to add water because the steam escapes.

11. Once it’s fluffy, it’s time to serve. Yay! Serve the con gris onto plates. Use a spoon to drizzle as much of that garlic/olive oil mix we made at the beginning as you want. I like using a lot because I’m a garlic head. I’ve never said, “This is too much garlic.” Also, raw garlic is good for your heart, medically speaking. You can add cilantro now too, but not earlier because it will get cooked and change the flavor.

12. Eat it! If there are leftovers, place them in containers and freeze it in case you’re hungry in 6-12 months 😜

13. Tell me how it came out.

ITT: people who have severely underestimated Mozart’s musical capacities and contributions.

Mozart is a musician that is studied by nearly any professional musician. There are historians, musical scholars, and museums dedicated to him. He’s a household name across the world. He established a period of music. As a teenager, he deciphered a 12 min choral piece with multiple groups and solos after hearing it once and by memory wrote it down later that night (he heard it a 2nd time a few days later for minor corrections). When he presented the score to the clergy, they said he got one note wrong. After investigation, Mozart heard it right. The musician’s score was off by a note. Could any popular musician mentioned here decipher just a 6 min song of 4 instrument band after hearing it once with pen and paper ready? Imagine telling any music legend now, “Hey, you’re off by a half a step on the 3rd note of bar 28 of your own song.”

Comparing an awesome popular singer, guitarist, or band to him is like comparing your friend that got a job at NASA to Einstein. There is no modern Mozart. There have been greats since Mozart, but there haven’t been any Mozarts since Mozart. I say this as a Beethoven fan. Mozart was the only Mozart. He was so good, that his name became a title for great musician: Mozart. No one listed in this thread is anywhere near being a Mozart.

wow, they’re barely different. thanks for sharing the stats 🙂

They might have been worried about their image. I’ve heard that narcissistic and psychopathic personalities are common among surgeons.

i haven’t seen that show. what’s up with “The Todd”?

This strikes me as a smart Biden-style political move. It causes an interdependence between Ukraine’s sovereignty and weapons manufacturers in the US, which would encourage further support for Ukraine.

😮 ive never seen that!

I started and moderate !autism@lemmy.world and was invited to moderate !audhd@lemmy.world. It can be a lot of work. The main tasks are (1) figuring out and implementing ways to grow the community, (2) finding other moderators that will be a good fit, (3) addressing suggestions and complaints made by users, (4) creating rules that discourage toxicity while trying not to limit freedom, and (5) deciding on mod interventions.

Luckily, these communities have been great. The users are just awesome people, and my fellow mods are amazing. Still, of those, 5 is the most taxing for me. I try to be as considerate and fair as possible, so it takes a lot of energy to make those decisions. Also, I’ve been dreading it even though it hasn’t happened, but from what I’ve heard, having to deal with troubling posts such as child sexual assault material, gore, etc.

Tips:

1. Make sure to recruit a good mod team. It helps to have others to discuss mod actions with. Also, some days, I just don’t have the energy to mod.

2. Treat your users with respect and compassion. I’ve seen lots of subs and communities where the mods are on some power trip or treat their users as subordinates. It reminds me of jaded cops. This creates an antagonism between you and your community.

3. Be kind to yourself. You’re doing your best, and no one is perfect, even if the users insist on perfection.

4. Frequently take time off from moderating to recover.

5. Network with other relevant communities for growth and insight opportunities.

Fun fact: South Africa didn’t give up nukes based on some moral objection. They did it because the apartheid government was disbanding, and they didn’t want people of melanin to have nukes. Racism for the win?

Becoming upset with and threatening punishment of dissenting voices is usually a sign of dictatorships. Why’d the go and support the claim if they didn’t want people to believe it?

The code states that “male students’ hair will not extend, at any time, below the eyebrows or below the ear lobes,” CNN previously reported.

Why do male and female students have different dress codes? WTF does the school system care if boys have longer hair? Apart from safety issues like being in a workshop class, why does anyone in the school system think they have the right to control who can and can’t have certain hair lengths?

Yo, is anyone else getting really sick of this overreach of power and authority? I’m not referring to the economic and political relations. Those aside, I’m talking about this crap where people are starting to get involved in personal matters of appearance, medicine, gender, and even straight bs crap like a high school band finishing a song. This is getting way out of hand. Our culture is rotting with power and control issues at the expense of individual liberties.

he didn’t bribe the right people

Please stop trying to rationalize with them. Please stop tolerating their hate. These people don’t care about logic or morality. The guy in the photo at the Nazi rally with the tatted face and meth teeth blames his problems on Jews. They only understand power. That’s all they know. That’s the only way they’ll be stopped.

With that said, can some of y’all come down here to Florida? We’ve got a Nazi problem that’s getting out of control and can use some support. They’ve been here this whole time in hiding, but since the government has recently been tolerant of their intolerance, they’re coming out in pride. They’re cowards that blame their own issues on vulnerable people. They don’t blame their problems on dominant peoples or cultures in power, just the minorities. So, with enough show of strength, they’ll go back into hiding or move away to Argentina.

Look at their little insurrection attempt. One Capitol officer misled them due to their lack of organization, and another officer fired one round. All it took was a distraction to jack up their plans and one shot for them to tuck tail and run. A coup failed due to a deception and one bullet.

Imagine if the real Nazis would have been stopped before they built their war machine. That’s where we’re at right now. Things can get soooo much worse if we allow them time to gain more power.

Fuck me too.

You eventually left, and now you advocate against them. Don’t be so hard on yourself for being compassionate and giving them the benefit of the doubt. It’s what good people do.

same! bump me if some explains how

I’m using Pixelffed to get replace Imgur and IG at the same time. One, it’s federated image site I can use to share image links on Lemmy. Two, while I haven’t found any of my social circle on there, it let’s me see all pictures posted throughout the Pixelfed fediverse while a lot from Mastodon. I like this feature because it helps me expand my exposure to users and images I wouldn’t have seen otherwise on IG.
