  • I've eaten bear. It's gamey as hell. Tried it multiple times and prepared multiple ways. The cooking methods that make it the most palatable are the ones that take forever like slow roasting and smoking. It's a very tough meat so it takes a lot of tenderizing methods. Large predator meat is typically not great eating.

    Before everyone jumps on me for being a hunter, I am a native Ojibwe. I don't want to dox myself by revealing much more than that.

  • I'd like to block entire instances like the ones where I can't read the language, but I can only block individual communities. Nothing against other languages, and I could stand to expand my scope from 3 languages, but seeing 6 posts flood my feed in a language I can't even identify is a bit uncomfortable

  • Damn I forgot about lamb, goat, and their cloven hoofed friends like deer

    Lamb is readily available in the US, but we (excluding farmers and active hunters) tend to eat it selectively like duck or veal as a delicacy or a meal for a special occasion. Normal everyday people don't eat lamb, veal, or duck when cheaper chicken, beef, fish, etc is available. Americans have an aversion to eating cute animals.

  • The Dems are unlikely to straight up just ignore SCOTUS rulings. With all that's happened in the last 6 years, I believe the Republicans absolutely would ignore a SCOTUS ruling, and they would be FAR more likely to just ignore SCOTUS altogether if the Dems ignored the SCOTUS student loan forgiveness ruling.

    What is more likely, would be the Dems/Biden reduce payments to some minimal amount like $1/mo and place all student loans at a negative interest rate, since the powers to set payment amounts and interest rates were confirmed by the SCOTUS ruling.

    The end result would be something like 'If you've paid the principal balance, you're done. If your loans have lasted 10+ years, you're done. If you cannot afford to pay, pay us the $1/mo and eventually your balance will get to $0 because it has been set to a negative interest rate, so you're done.'

    This strategy is a long term play by the Dems, because the public will be made extremely aware that the next Republican president or Republican majority Congress will force them to pay those loans, with interest. The voters will know instantly they shouldn't vote Red. Even if they were raised Republican, if you knew voting Red would mean you owe the government $10,000 as soon as that person takes office, you're unlikely to vote Red. That would be a grand slam Dark Brandon move.

  • I don't know about shit storm. Student loan forgiveness was clearly within the presidential powers in the HEROES Act of 2003. Loan forgiveness is also overwhelmingly popular with the voters on both sides of the aisle. Since the SC has no teeth to enforce rulings, Biden could just wait until a month after reelection and do it anyway, with near-zero consequences. Nobody is coming for him for making them not owe $10,000, especially since the plaintiffs in the SC case were unwilling, unwitting, and could not prove any harm.

    I say that under the assumption Biden wouldn't lose to another candidate, and the Democrats retain at least one of the Congressional Chambers. In this fucky timeline, who knows what the USA will look like in 2 years

  • If we could get some of the awesome subs like askhistorians and the like to bring their content over, Lemmy could become home to many more users. The sad fact is Reddit is still a treasure trove of niche information

  • They can be. I bought a Galaxy s22 with a broken screen for $150, and my carrier just gave me an $1100 credit for it on a new iphone. I don't need an iPhone, and I will be selling it to get yet another cheap phone and pocketing the money, but it goes to show just how much phones do not cost to the people producing them
