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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Neat. I'll keep a watch on it and pick it up on a sale.

I an avid, rabid RimWorld lover, but all the DLC have just added to much to the game for me to enjoy it anymore.

Rimworld in space?

So I can harvest alien organs and implant them into my crew? or sell them for enormous profit?

what is that, some successor to geocities? or is the naming convention purely coincidental

Wild and magical, where we..upon getting our first connection to this wide world of wonder, would just explore. Clicking every link with wild abandon and discovering magic behind every one of them. No need for caution, Viruses were rare, Malware didnt exist, just spread wings gliding over vast lands of unbridled discovery.. Not even realizing 16 hours had passed and you had missed sleep, the adrenaline of adventure keeping you going, wide eyed and focused.

God I'm depressed now.

the pesky linearity of time as we understand it.
