Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

It’s so disappointing to pick up a bag of Oreos these days and feel all the empty space. It was bad enough when I had to get the more expensive “family size” to get the same amount, but now I’m reminded of it every time I pick it up. My worst vice and I’ve resorted to leaving it in the shelf because feeling ripped off overrides my addiction
Thanks Nabisco? For helping me live longer?
If your schedule and living arrangements permit, learning to bake is awesome (though maybe not healthier…)
You can adjust recipes and add new things just for you (compromises may be needed if loved ones are sharing, but you can still veto now and then).
We still buy chips at the store, but making bread and cookies is so much better.
Actually I have been. I started cooking a lot more things from scratch at covid and generally kept up with it, including most treats. I’ve been making so many different styles from so many different cultures over the last few years to satisfy my desire for new experiences and to give my kids a much more experienced palate than most of their peers.
Bread is tough: I intentionally gave it up because I found that making it was so much better that I was eating too much of it. My intended use of bread is for sandwiches, which manufactured bread is generally very good at whereas the bread I made was just effing delicious
But then you get something like Oreos that are just so addictive …
So, I bake. one of the regular bakes is sourdough. (I do sourdough-something every week. keeping a starter is like that. But... popovers, waffles/pancakes, pizza crust also feature here.) Lemme tell you... there is no need to compromise. There is, however a need to keep your hands well clear of the loaf because the family will take a few fingers while they inhale it. the loaf of sour dough, soft butter. it's gone in seconds.
And don't even get me started about the brownies. I have no idea how my ex never got fat- she'd scarf a double batch on her own. My current GF is a bit more moderate until its snickerdoodles or peanutbutter cookies.
