Guy may have been an asshole, May not. We don’t know why he poked her with it. I’ve been in plenty of nursing homes where I’ve seen staff that deserved to be hit in the stomach with a sharp and pointy knife due to how they denigrate and disrespect the residents.

Regardless, it does not entitle him to being brutalized by cops with fucking bludgeons, tasers, and chemical weapons.

Same police that do and defend this shit, then have the audacity to complain that the public doesnt respect them.

“He may have lost control of the vehicle, hence why he hit someone, reversed, then hit them again, with fatal results. Its totally not his fault for being an impotent little man waving around a 2 ton dick”

America is pretty much the only country in the world that has ever accepted the tired, the poor, and the huddled masses.

No other country will accept a bunch of poor anyones with no money, bad health, and no unique and valuable skills. Not in any significant numbers that matter, at least.

and thousands? moving to another country would take hundreds of thousands, minimum. The paperwork alone for moving to, and getting citizenship in the destination country would probably require a hundred thousand alone, between lawyers and paperwork, not to mention probably a year minimum of time. Assuming you would even get that far to begin with, given Americas reputation on the world stage at the moment. It’d probably be treated as well as Russians wanting to immigrate.

Hell, even moving to another state is an expense most americans can not afford. Especially with the absurdity of rent prices being, in some places, as much as monthy minimum wage is, if not higher. Not to mention buying grossly price-inflated properties if you want to go the ownership route… anything that would be affordable will probably still need massive amounts of work to repair and make suitable for habitation.

S’why it pisses me off every time when some ignorant dumbass just goes " well if you don’t like it, move! ", cause I can imagine everyone that says that probably has rich parents that have funded their every whim, because how else can just up and moving at a whim be possible for the average person?

no worries man. S’all good in love and cast iron.

“If I don’t know about it, then NO ONE can know about it! So Speaketh the grand arbitrator of all knowledge!”

Thats not really “re-seasoning” when you oil it after washing, its just rust prevention if you don’t have a good cure on the entire pan… I would only oil a pan down if I’m putting it into storage for a good long while… and that oil gets washed off before I use it, cause even the best cured pan always seems to develop some rust in long storage otherwise, and that oil will have inevitably collected dust and other unpleasantness.

My regular everyday cast iron pan just get washed, then put on a burner for a couple minutes to dry off any of the remaining water (after i towel it off), then pushed to the back of the rangetop for tomorrow.

Obviously don’t take your hot pan, immediately wash it in cold water, and put it back on a hot burner, cause… you know… thermal shock will turn it into a fragmentation grenade*

*(comedic hyperbole, for those that will inevitably take this too seriously)

edit

and on the topic of seasoning the pan… I prefer doing it on a grill, I give my pan a good, thin coating of lard, throw it on a scorching hot grill, and basically just leave it until it stops smoking. Then I’ll take it out, let it sit to cool off a bit (just a bit, don’t want it getting cold, just want it to not burn through your oven mitt and flash off the reapplied lard) before adding another layer of lard, and throwing it back on the grill, again, until it stops smoking.

Depending on the pan, if its old one I’ve had to go at with sandpaper/steel wool, I will do more coats to build up a good base… for an established pan that I’m just laying down a fresh coat on, I may only do it once, or maybe twice.

Don’t need to put 100+ coats on it and make it a mirror finish, lol.

are you washing it? Like with soap, hot water? and scrubbing it with something like a scrubbing sponge?

Have to ask, due to the prevalence of people buying into the whole “you cant wash cast iron!” myth.

Cause, with the sides and even the handle being sticky and nasty, it sounds ALOT like just spattered grease never getting cleaned off.

The “patriots” want nothing but the destruction of everything they claim to love and worship with regards to America, the Constitution, etc, etc.

All so they can put a emotionally unstable manbaby pants shitting pedophile and rapist on a golden throne as god-fuhrer.

and you’ve never heard of the American-180? Which is colloqially known as the swarm of angry bees?

on this subject… I’ve been using linux for like…7ish years now?

when do I get my choker and stockings? Do I have to fill out a form or…?

This is the exact kind of apologia and handwringing that I’m talking about.

Treating them like they’re some poor tribals on an isolated island whose only technology is fire and spear making who know not what they do.

They are not.

They are capable of asking questions. They actively choose not to, because they’d rather live in the comfort of the lie, then face the harsh reality of a truth.

Most of them have access to the sum total of human knowledge in their pockets (and in those slim minority of a minority of times when they cant, there are still other ways to access it all), which they refuse to use, because that would mean having to step out of their comfortable little sphere and face uncomfortable truths about the horrific things that they support and cant ever, in a thousand years, handle facing the harsh reality of.

Choosing to be ignorant is not an excuse, or makes them victims, or whatever other stupid bullshit people like you try to label them as.

No need to be so defensive there.

If you’re a gamer, Nobara is based on Fedora KDE with all the gaming stuff pre-loaded and ready to go.

Being a misinformed voter is a choice.

They are not poor victims.

They are lazy asshats that wanted to believe obvious but comfortable lies, over having to do 10 minutes of work and dealing with uncomfortable truths.

I’m sick and tired of this handwringing for the poor, willfully ignorant voters who couldnt be bothered to question a single thing, or listen to anything that challenges their preconceived notions.

Its how wages have stayed so stagnant for 20 years.

cause people cant fight or leave, cause their healthcare depends on it… especially if they have a very ill spouse/child

and they’ve taken so long to implement the 15 dollar minimum wage, that by the time its fully rolled out it will just be the new 7.25 with all the buying power it’ll have with inflation and everything else, so nothing will fundamentally change for anyone.

People are acting like this is the first time republicans have willfully ignored the results of an election.

until disaster hits your area.

And someone will shit on it because one rich person lives within 5 miles of you, and calling you a stupid fuck for living there.

and oh god will the tears of indignation flow from you then.

You can tell them until your throat is hamburger meat and your voice is nothing but bloody spatter.

It doesnt matter.

Because they don’t care.

Fox News/OANN/Whatever else will tell them its necessary to own the libs, and they’ll cheer. They will self immolate before they dare have critical thought.

Just like there is no war in Ba Sing Se.
