They said they have to buy them if they want fresh tomatoes, not just in general. ie frozen isn’t fresh

Michigan and Ontario both have Bois Blanc Islands. Michigan’s is “Boys Blank” and Ontario’s is “Bob Low”.

Can’t forget Noordeloos, Vriesland, Overisel, Drenthe, and Borculo. Been to Borculo a few times. Lotsa folks with Dutch/Frisian/Low German surnames in the area, including the (in)famously wealthy Van Andel and De Vos families of Grand Rapids.

Supposedly, the phrase “if you ain’t Dutch, you ain’t much” used to be common here, but I’ve never heard it used unironically. Likely died off with time.

Genuinely just dumbfounded when I got to the point in the video where the little popup blurb refers to Epstein with the memed “disgraced financier” title. Holy shit, just call him the “infamous child sex trafficker”, that’s what almost everybody who knows his name knows him for.

Not sure if logging in would “solve” it, but I’ve been unable to watch YouTube videos while on a VPN on desktop with FreeTube and on mobile with LibreTube for a month or so now.

Also, on FreeTube the recommended videos on the sidebar usually include a ton of unrelated news channels. I’ve got so many of them blocked now but they keep showing up.

Jello salad is definitely a thing in the Midwest. Source: every Thanksgiving I had as a kid

From context it just sounds like they were saying that a post with that link followed immediately after this one in their lemmy feed. Coming off unnecessarily aggressive.

To add on to what silverchase said, I played 2 first and got the gist of what happened. I do recommend playing Portal 1 if you can get it working, but you won’t be lost without it.

fwiw not an American thing. I’ve never seen pasta served with meat to the side like that irl.

Was expecting a photo of Sandy the Pony, a coin-operated ride at Meijer supermarkets.

fwiw “takeover” is a noun; “take over” would be the verb.

“Lookout” would also be a noun, though their example of “look out” is a verb, yes.

No. My high school was 6 55-minute classes with 5 minute breaks between to get to your next class, plus a 45-minute lunch. 7 classes if you elected to take another class starting at 7am instead of the usual 8am. School was just under 8 hours long with 7 classes.

Ugh. Yeah, my mom intentionally allows push notifications from Amazon, Temu, tons of fast food chains, and a bunch of other sources on her phone. It goes off like every thirty seconds.

I don’t get push notifications unless it’s a text or a 2FA email. And for that matter, I don’t understand how people get so many emails or, if they start to, why they don’t unsubscribe from or block all the spam. I get an average of maybe 3 emails a week on my personal accounts.

The Military Selective Service Act was passed in 1948 and registrees were drafted during both the Korean and Vietnam Wars to draft 1,529,539 and 1,857,304 individuals, rezpectively.

It’s the flag of Israel, specifically. He had ties to former Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Israeli intelligence services; apparently Mossad was involved in his island’s security and supposedly he worked closely with them. He also funded the IDF through the US nonprofit Friends of the Israeli Defense Force and other settler efforts through the Jewish National Fund. Calling out Israel is not antisemitic; Israel is a state, not a religion or ethnicity.

I tried starting an audio call (had a telephone icon) yesterday but it turned on my webcam without prompting. Didn’t see a setting for it not to do that, and that’s a wild default.
