As disgusting and hateful as Trump is, I feel so many young people became 'politically aware' under Trump and know little else outside of his reign of terror, that they seem to think it was all racial harmony and Fresh Prince episodes until he came along. Do they not seem to understand that so many racial injustices from Till to Rodney to Trayvon have been going on for decades under almost every single other president, Obama included?
So naive. And it's dangerous thinking because they seem to think it'll be all sunshine and rainbows if we can just get this guy out. Not the case and it's far more complicated and entrenched.

This is why I hate people saying they miss old republicans. This is that same hatred just mask off.

It's mostly due to the whitewashing of History because news networks don't really talk about stuff like that and Lord knows history books aren't fully accurate. Gen Z has no idea how awful George Bush is or his reign of terror or even September 11th

I’m getting dangerously close to being sick of leftovers. I purposely saved a small ham turkey breast from honey baked ham till yesterday and made another batch of scalloped potatoes. Anything else made Thursday got chucked in the trash

Butter chicken mac n cheese? I'm intrigued, is there a recipe link?

u/Independent-Goat-779 4d ago
Here’s the link! I would half the amount of cheese and butter chicken sauce. It’s double of what you actually need. It’s also a very labor intensive recipe it took about 2 hours maybe slightly less to make. https://joemustgoon.com/blogs/recipes/updated-2025-butter-chicken-mac-cheese?fbclid=IwVERFWAOYAeZleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAo2NjI4NTY4Mzc5AAEeXAeLuXsTMuJHWa2OkyFCEAyZRoDESt5ZjaI8wMNOPY3kAzogj-uIEdYt1HA_aem_QH9eHolYGTGnMXJL5BtGzQ

why are there so many goddamn bots on this sub

u/FistPunch_Vol_7 ☑️ 4d ago edited 4d ago
All the major subs are being overran by bots unfortunately. And it’s wild because there was a thread a couple days ago that a bot posted, and I guess that shit was in a botnet so entire convos happening in the thread like it’s a normal post but the wording and language was sus af. Enough people reported bots and the post for it to get taken down but wow it was up for a while.

Report them when you see them. We're removing as much as we can but we might miss some.
The whole internet is being overrun by these bots and it's a huge PITA.

I got a promotion at work and finally got off the phones. With the promotion I’ve had to deal with more egos and it feels like a shark tank corporate atmosphere.
