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 politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted 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 another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. 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 a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple 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.

That's all the rules!

Thots and prayers, Karen. We've only known raw milk is bad for you since... EVER.

I wouldnt be surprised if this woman also smears shit on her face for exfoliation.

If they go after parents who let their kids walk to the shops, then they put her into the slammer and let her rot.

Did this person not take 9th grade history?

The ignorance and stupidity of people is astounding

Its what the experts call "natural selection". It makes the human race stronger when the dumb ones kill themselves off. We should thank her and her kind lol. Also thoughts and prayers or whatever

OK, I'm confused. I was in Haute Savoy on a road trip last weekend and picked up some cheeses from a little shop along the road, and 2 bottles of wine. Nobody is getting sick from cheeses in France. Is the real problem here just the usual horrendous food safety practices of the US? Should we be chlorinating American Cheese to be sure? Or is it specifically a pregnancy thing? What am I missing?

Some European cheeses are illegal to import to the US due to FDA regulations.

I can't speak to the cheese you bought but cheese is usually aged for a while so that helps keep bacteria levels lower or gives it time to fulminate so they know to toss it.

[–] bobo@lemmy.ml 7 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Do you think the French are making their cheese with unprocessed milk containing blood and shit?

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago

Have you seen American farms? There are reasons that the EU does not allow American beef and chicken over the pond. Let the Americans eat them, with all the other stuff already banned elsewhere, this does not make much of a difference.
