Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

Because nothing is more American than having the government regulate thought.

I’m no longer sure if the above sentiment should be interpreted sarcastically or not.

thoughtcrime doesn't entail death. thoughtcrime IS death.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Ever try hot apple pie with a slice of cheese?

It tastes like apple pie with cheese. I still don't get why it's a thing.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

gotta use the right cheese. the people who did it with shitty cheddar, that's a prank

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Oh sure, with goat cheese, Gouda, or gruyere, I could totally see magic happening. But that's not what people serve. They serve a cheese single, plastered on some shitty crust.

i just have this image in my mind. the local coffee shop makes up this whipped cream cheese that is divine and i want some on a slice of blackberry pie as soon as i get a batch of ripe berries. hell yeah.

but of course i'm going to have a sleep paralysis nightmare and the hat man is going to force feed me a pie with some kraft single with the plastic still on it tonight just you watch what did i do to deserve this
