Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Ok, honestly, is cast-iron really any better than a non-stick, stainless, copper (anything else?) pan?English
6·10 days agoSome answers here are close.
It depends on what type of person you are.
If you’re the kind of person who has a neat, clean kitchen who does all their dishes after every meal, go cast iron.
If you’re the kind of person who has a messy kitchen and you really only do dishes once or twice a week, go primarily with stainless, a nonstick pan for eggs, and a 10-12 inch cast iron pan for occasional use, like that rib roast.

politics @lemmy.world•Jeffries says not to expect Democrats to pursue Hegseth impeachment over boat strikesEnglish
10·15 days agoThe narrative here is that the people committing war crimes are also sending soldiers to your city.
It doesn’t matter if impeachment works. It needs to be said.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Hillary Clinton Says Young Americans Are Pro-Palestine Because They Watch ‘Totally Made Up’ Videos of Gaza HorrorsEnglish
71·15 days ago“It’s a lot of young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”
Oh they understand. That’s why they’re so unhappy. But, this is exactly the take I expect from one of the most out-of-touch people on the planet.

politics @lemmy.world•Jeffries says not to expect Democrats to pursue Hegseth impeachment over boat strikesEnglish
4·15 days agoIt’s also why both parties support Israel and neither will condemn their treatment of Palestinians. It’s too easy to pivot the conversation to what the US has done for the past 25 years in the Middle East. In both cases a horrible terrorist attach led to an incredibly violent over-reaction.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's an unscientific opinion that you firmly hold?English
2·23 days agoI fully understand that it’s correlation, not causation, but I believe some inanimate objects want to work well, and others want to work poorly. In that same vein, there are people that inanimate objects respect and work well for, and there are people that inanimate objects dislike or enjoy aggravating.

Explain Like I'm Five@lemmy.world•ELI5 What is the hate against socialism? I mean doesn't it mean a system where the people take care of themselves and neighbors?English
183·23 days agoBecause some of the worst dictators of all time said they were communist and socialist, despite dictatorship being fundamentally antithetical to both.
Then a bunch of idiots watched a dictatorship, the USSR, burn up their economy with a space and arms race, so now they think socialism kills economic progress. It wasn’t that the USSR didn’t invest properly in the populace, or infrastructure, or that they were fundamentally a kleptocracy with a massive military, it’s that they called themselves socialist. That’s what killed them.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Please help me under stand my spouse's gift and their hurtEnglish
1·30 days agoThere is a difference between giving some a gift you know they don’t like and giving someone a gift that they don’t like. It’s literally the thought that counts, and as someone who has been married a long time, it’s important to place the thought first and the gift a distant second.
If (when) I get another tie for Father’s Day, I won’t necessarily like, want, or need it, but I will still cherish and appreciate it. It’s nice to get things you like, but it’s much nicer to be loved and appreciated.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Please help me under stand my spouse's gift and their hurtEnglish
62·1 month agoGifts don’t have to be something you like, want, or need. It’s about the thought, care, and love that goes into them. Whether you like new things or old things, it doesn’t matter. Gifts have subtext. Your SO probably will equate your love for the gift with your love for them. Use them both. Love them both. Love the people who gave you both.

politics @lemmy.world•Jeffrey Epstein's brother stuns with response to email about Trump sex act with 'Bubba'English
8·1 month agoI, for one, completely believe that Putin has hard evidence of Trump doing something salacious.

I don’t know, it makes a lot of sense, in an asinine way. Many people are self-centered and incredibly selfish. Of course we all benefit from living in a world where children are happy, fed, cared for, and well adjusted. But for folks without kids, it’s usually indirect, rather than direct benefits, making it harder to quantify.
But, their property taxes that fund schools are easy to quantify, so the selfish get grumpy about it.
It’s like not wanting your tax dollars to fund cancer research, because you don’t have cancer. It makes no sense, until you remember the person talking is a selfish dunce.
