  • I'd grab a link from many of the other sources available, but I'm coming to learn that just like reddit, there's a clique on Lemmy that acts just like MAGAs. When they don't like a story, they'll attack the source, not the content.

    I get it though, being a commie in this society is hard. At least you have this safe space.

  • That's odd, mine actually has a "moist" mode. It has a little cavity where any juice that get sucked up go. You just have to empty it often if you're doing alot of meats that are juicy. As for soups, I do one of two methods, freeze over night in a Tupperware, then remove from Tupperware and Vac seal or ill just let it cool and vac seal, which might leave a small air gap, but I haven't notice it effect the soup like it does meat.

  • There's definitely an interesting demographic around here. I've been dog piled by tankies who don't like my opinion, but it's to be expected. I don't mind it. As long as my comments aren't deleted, I can take the downvotes.

  • If you have decent freezer space, there's no excuse to not use a vac sealer. I have so many friends that constantly complain about meat prices but don't take advantage of buying meat on sale in bulk. With a vac sealer, you can really get ahead. Also processing and preparing your own meat products (burgers, sausage).

    We also vac seal soups and broths!

    Also, on the topic of slow cookers, while not $50 and under, a ninja foodi is a pressure/slow cooker and air fryer combo. I literally use mine everyday. It gets more use than my microwave or stove.

  • So much this. I reconnected with my dad after 10 years. We both can be stubborn. And all it took was sending an email. It took some time and things were a little awkward at first. But since, we've really made amends. He attended my wedding and now it's to the point where we visit one another a handful of times a year. We talk on the phone at least monthly and text often. I'm really glad I decided to send that email that day. Can't imagine if I hadn't.

  • My province's official sub had essentially just become an echo chamber and literally was shadow banning and straight up just banning people who opposed the mods. It got really bad during the pandemic when they were simply banning people for even questioning some of the mandates and rules that didn't make sense (not activax stuff, simply pointing out flaws in the rules and mandates).

    Anyway, eventually an alternative sub was made. It got pretty big since basically everyone who was banned and everyone who didn't want to browse what had essentially become a /r/Torontoleftists migrated over. It got pretty big, to the point it had come under the targets of a few subs simply cause the sub allowed for discussions to take place, regardless of political slant.

    It was alot of fun. Users could actually explain why the felt how they felt and on occasion we'd even find ourselves conceding points or changing our stance on things after discussions.

    It was when this sub and it's successor were shut down by the neck beard brigade that I had already figured I'd probably take a step back from reddit and then the whole API bullshit happened and knew it was time.

    I've been real happy with lemmy tho! I'm not the average user at all, but I still have fun.

  • I used to work in the waste sector - been to a lot of dumps. Let me tell ya, public sector dumps were literal dumpster fires compared to their private counter parts. Inefficient. Years behind in technology. Weighted down by nepotism and typical government employees.

    It was such a relief when I knew I was assigned to a private sector dump where things just fucking worked because people just let it work.

  • Fucking Amen. I can't believe, especially non-religious people, still commit this barbaric and unnecessary act. But some people are still under the quaker influenced thinking that circumcision means cleaner, both my mother in law and my step mother think it's "gross" to leave a child uncircumcised, with my mother in law going as far as to say "it just looks bad".

    Cool, she basically admitted she's down to mutilate babies to satisfy a completely unreasonable aesthetic preference.

  • Sadly, I'm genuinely shocked at how many people have said things like "I got nothing to hide" when it comes to even basic intrusion of privacy by governments. It's that kind of thinking that makes authorities think such actions like this should be tolerated.

  • While doing nothing is good for some, I'm sure many are like myself and feel better keeping busy or at least doing things I feel are semi productive.

    My wife can watch TV her whole day off. I can barely sit for an hour and watch something these days, I'd rather clean and listen to a podcast, read or at the minimum - play some vidya.
