Depends what's in season. Where I live: crabapples, blackberries, Japanese Silverberries. There's probably a ton more, but these are the things I feel comfortable eating whenever I find them at a park etc

Because they care about and represent landowners, not people. You should not be considered an "American" unless you own part of America, not just if you live there.
A single family that owns a 10-acre farm are "Real Americans". 500 people living in an apartment building don't count, because they don't own property.

There were not two states in Korea at the time, a "North Korea" and a "South Korea". There is one nation - Korea - and it's Southern half was occupied by a foreign force. Literally - South Korea was not liberated from Japan at the end of WWII, Japan transferred it's occupation to the United States.

Hmm I wonder who those "Other Pro-Palestine Candidates" could be, it couldn't be that they're avoiding even mentioning the name of one candidate in particular

This is reminding me of Parenti - to put his conclusions in my own words, Fascism is when the revolutionary rhetoric developed by the Left-Wing (whether that is Socialists or Communists or Left-Liberals) is used to advance the goals of the ruling classes instead.

I think some people are being a bit unfair - they're good people with (95%) good politics, just with poor organization and tactics. Even their national contact was enthusiastic about cooperation with the PSL and even participation in the campaign. And best of all, at least the people local to me are open and willing to learn more effective methods of organizing. It takes time and confidence to build organizing skills.
They're cringe, not evil or fundamentally flawed. Be nice, be tolerant, and be willing to help and teach. They are not doomed - they just need direction.

They aren't. Those are the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA. These guys are the Revolutionary Communists of America. Two completely different, unrelated orgs.
I'm in the PSL and I recently started meeting regularly with a couple guys from the local RCA. Their organization is not perfect but they have been friendly and enthusiastic about cooperation and I look forward to working with them. Here's some of what I've learned either from them or the PSL:
They're a continuation of a Trot party, Marxist International (that changed its name at least partially due to a sex pest scandal), but they claim to be "non-sectarian Marxist-Leninists" and not Trots. The local guys seem unaware of the history of their party, they joined two months ago along with the name change and believe that the party is new and was founded two months ago.
I've re-written this paragraph several times because I don't want to come off as too harsh, because they really are good folks who are doing their best, but: their organization suffers from a lack of, well, organization, and a focus on what I believe to be ineffective tactics ("agitation", selling newspapers on street corners, etc.). They are also admitted class-reductionists, and the local branch at least is seven or eight white guys and one of their girlfriends. They've read a lot of books but knew very little about the political struggles going on in their own city.
The only time I would suggest joining the RCA is if you've already tried to join your local PSL branch and haven't heard back.

With that much stone they should install drainage grates in every room so you can just spray the place down instead of mopping/dusting/sweeping

They do. I think some people in this thread are swinging too far the other way - yes, some cultures normalize eating cats and dogs. It is what it is, I'm not a vegan and I don't believe there's anything intrinsically wrong with it. A Burmese family in a trailer park near where I live got the cops called on them by the local Crazy Cat Karen for catching and eating strays a few years back.
The problem is not one of "barbaric" foreigners needing to be kept out; it's a failure to educate new immigrants on American customs beyond their ability to parrot jingoistic slogans, remember the names of presidents and holidays, and denounce Communism.

Depending on your definition of "Colonized or Controlled", the Ottomans never completely conquered what is today Saudi Arabia - they conquered Hejaz and parts of the Gulf province but never (as far as I am aware) Najd and other parts of the center and south.

The main problem is zoning laws - too much land zoned for single-family residences only, a lack of mixed-use zoning and walkability, and heavily restrictive laws on apartment buildings (height limits, floorplan requirements such as the infamous dual-stairway rule, etc ).
These laws exist because of NIMBY's - people with an existing stake in the community who don't want noisy transit, tall buildings being an "eyesore", affordable housing bringing in more poor people.
The solution, of course, is to [REDACTED] all the NIMBY's.

Is there any way to view all posts on a given instance (as if that instance was your home instance and set to "local"), and not just a specific community/communities you are subscribed to? Specifically, my home instance is Lemmygrad, but I'm interested in ttrpgs and want to keep up with ttrpg.network. This instance is relatively inactive so I never see their posts on my front page, and it's content is spread over several communities. I want to be able to see what's going on there while still using my Lemmygrad account.
Stovetop strip steak, roasted veggies and steak fries, mushroom and onion topping, and the best garlic bread I've had in my life. Measuring is for nerds. I just vibe. --- **Marinade (24/hr):** Mostly soy sauce Olive oil Worcester sauce Lemon juice Red wine vinegar Garlic powder Dried rosemary --- **Steak:** New York Strip. Boneless, because I don't like the hassle (and the boneless was on sale for $7.99/lb!) McCormick Montreal steak seasoning Fried in butter. I put some more on it at some point. Butter. After cooking, put some garlic spread on 4 min. on each side in the pan, 15 minutes in the oven Let it rest! --- **Topping:** Half a sweet onion Two 4 oz cans of mushrooms Two jalapeno peppers A garlic bulb (chopped) A lil bit of sweet red wine A spoonful of sugar, added near the end Fried in olive oil, like 10 minutes? Until the wine is reduced. --- **Veggies:** The other half of the onion Another garlic bulb (just thrown in there) Another jalapeno pepper A big ole' carrot A bag of frozen steak fries, forgotten about and added 5 minutes after the other veggies Cook for half an hour at 450 F. --- **Garlic Bread:** Two loaves of Italian bread The majority of a tin of garlic spread Seasoned salt A whole lot of Parmesan cheese, freshly grated. Italian seasoning 15 minutes at 450 F.
Here's the recipe: 3 sticks of celery One large carrot A bulb of garlic 2 Lbs. of chicken breast 8 cups of wide egg noodles 8 cups of chicken broth (+2 cups of water) Fried the chicken in olive oil, then the carrot and celery in butter. Added the chopped garlic then the broth, brought to a boil then added the noodles. After about 15 minutes of cooking added the chicken back in. Haven't tasted it yet, but I burned my tongue on the broth lol.
