  • Gotta love how the republicans try to make it seem like theyre giving you freedom of choice. If they really wanted to lift the burden of paid insurance companies and offer choice they would offer a public government option to people.

    well said, & exactly what i was thinking when i first saw the headline & saw that this act was called “CHOICE” 🙄 it’s funny how the only time we see the words “freedom” or “choice” in a republican legislation is when they’re trying to take one of those away from us

    Theres also fear mongering about them taking away smokers, grills, and firepits which I cant find anything other than right wing sites mentioning it cause “california did it” but then when I google california they didnt lose their grills either.

    it’s seriously concerning how little the modern republican will do any sort of research before believing whatever article/post they’ll see. the last time i talked to one, i realized that ~75% of their perception of “leftist states” are completely false & just from random articles strewn across the internet. their perception of california is so unrealistic it may as well just be an alternate reality



  • i mean, i agree that we should do something about healthcare prices & that obamacare is not faring so well right now. but trying to make it easier to get junk healthcare plans without doing anything about decreasing the price of full-fledged healthcare plans will just make things worse, & lead to a situation where low-income people are priced out of even being able to afford a full healthcare plan & forced to either default to these “short-term”/association plans or not have any at all



  • sorry that happened, people suck :( don’t let it make you quit the internet, that person was most definitely in the wrong & just being an overzealous bully. you just have to remember with those people, they’re almost surely being abusive on the internet because they know they’d be absolutely ostracized in real life, that is if they haven’t already.

    anyway, to answer the question, i don’t. in the old days i used to argue back & forth with them but now i simply stay away from them entirely. i don’t even use sites filled with jerks anymore (or, if i do, i stay away from every user post or comments section in sight). in fact, the internet being filled with jerks is a primary reason i mostly stay on the beehaw bubble or just don’t come online these days







  • welcome! i created my account over a month ago but i agree, this is the most civil & “cozy” site i’ve seen in a while since small niche blogs & forums were actually a thing. places like this have been rare af since the late 2010s, so it’s refreshing to see such a place with this many users













  • Wasn’t there a Sriracha shortage this time last year too?

    yeah, there was also one in 2020, & a lot of people (myself included) had trouble getting it in parts of 2021 too. huy fong’s had supply issues for years now & it doesn’t seem like they’re ever getting out of it with how high demand sriracha is

    Because I bought a bunch of it and then realized the post-underwood Sriracha was not the same. It’s too sweet now with not enough heat.

    agreed, that combined with the insane prices & the fact that hf sriracha is spending more time out of stock than in is the reason i’m giving up on the brand & moving on to other sauces, the last 2 bottles of huy fong we had cost ~$40 a few months ago, & we all agreed it wasn’t really worth the price at all
