Arm the fucking things and let them fight back autonomously.

No, you don't understand. Trump has promised to do away with regulation to reduce consumer protection and increase profits. The wealthy are going to loot the US while destroying it then hope that the poor don't murder them and take everything back.

Removing the debt ceiling would allow them to transfer unlimited money to the wealthy at the expense of the future of the country.

Arguing with an idiot makes you an even bigger idiot.

"The earth is flat!"

"That's nice."

Go on with your life.

He was being a massive dick, got spanked, and now he's pouting? Am I reading this correctly?

This time he had made it clear that he's for sale. He's put oligarchs with grievances in charge of departments with the intention of dismantling those departments. None of this benefits the American people. The wealthy are going to destroy and loot and the people will suffer. This is how capitalism ends. The wealthy make their play and the people rise up and murder them and takes their money back.

If he wants a shutdown let him have a shutdown.

Tech companies are NOT our friends. We need to have adversarial relationships with them or we'll all end up with fascist oligarchies like the US of A.

It's their circus and their monkeys, now. Let them shut down the government and own the consequences. Letting Trump and his GOP sycophants destroy the US economy may be the best way to save the country in the long run.

Coming soon to the US if RFK Jr. gets his way.

 

Seriously? There are Christmas lights and nativity scenes all over the place. Christmas decreasing and Christmas trees. Fucking Mariah Carey.

These right wing propagandist pearl clutching concern ttrolls are a fucking scourge on Canadian society.

 

To the surprise of no one who doesn't have their head lodged firmly in their ass, the Ford Government has committed another massive grift at the expense of Ontario tax payers.

I had a craving. I made char siu and my wife whipped up some delicious curried noodles.

We make our own green curry paste. The makrut lime leaves, Thai green and red chilis, lemon grass, and chicken are from our back yard.

 

I liked the contrast between the yellow bedspread and the black cat.

This is probably my favorite ice cream shop. It's located on Fairmont Avenue at Gladstone in Ottawa, Ontario CANADA. They make awesome ice cream including a large vegan selection. You can buy it by the scoop in cones or bowls, as ice cream based treats, in pints, or my favorite, in milkshakes.

I had a delicious chocolate milk shake this afternoon and it was absolutely delicious. It's not one of those nasty extruded frozen treat things you get at fast food restaurants. It starts with three scoops of hard ice cream and milk and they mix it right in front of you.

If you're in Ottawa please go by and check them out. They're good people and make great ice cream.

So much ice cream. (lemmy.world)
submitted 5 months ago by MapleEngineer to c/icecream
 

I've been making ice cream. My son's softball team plays in a tournament in a couple of weeks. We have what we call the cake challenge where if they do any one of a number of things (hit the fence, score a home run, get a double play, get a bunt double) I'll make a cake and bring it to the next game. I've done it three times so far this year. I Decided that for the tournament I would make ice cream.

So far I've made:

No Nuts

22 x Vanilla

17 x Aztec Chocolate

12 x Smartie

11 x York Peppermint Pattie

12 x Oreo

Almonds

12 x Milk Chocolate Almond Crunch

24 x Skor Bits

12 x Skor Bar

That's 122 x 125 ml cups.

I hope that's enough.

Oreo Ice Cream (lemmy.world)

This is just my standard vanilla ice cream base (500 ml 35% cream, 1 L 10% cream, 300 g sugar, 15 ml vanilla extract) with chopped Oreo cookies. I put 12 cookies in each batch and each batch makes twelve 125 ml cups so each cup has a full cookie in it.

I went looking for an ice cream focused community in the lemmy.world federated fediverse and couldn't find anything so I created one.

The Ice Cream community is focused on ice cream. Homemade ice cream, recipes, pictures, stories, good commercial ice cream, your favourite ice cream treat or favorite ice cream shop.

I make homemade ice cream and am in the middle of a run. I have made vanilla, (Canadian) Smartie, and milk chocolate almond cluster so far but I have a few more to make before I'm done.

I've posted my favourite ice cream base recipe and a recipe for spicy Aztec Chocolate Ice cream.
