I love the idiocy of the view that the poorest among us are eating like kings for free while we all suffer and toil for peanuts. I mean, how dumb do you have to be? I've got a steal of a deal on some property on mars you may be interested in.

I have MAGA family. The first thing they always mention about SNAP is how "welfare queens" are gaming the system, even though they were all on food stamps at one point. It's purely all about racism and punching down. They don't like the idea of black and brown people eating on "their" taxdollars. However, when my brother was on food stamps, it was out of "necessity" because he relied on SNAP to feed his step children.
Whole discussion is about " I can only afford 1/3 price generic mustard, but SNAP recipients are spoiled"
SNAP funds can also be used to buy cheap mustard to stetch limited SNAP budget.
If that’s all you can afford, you might need snap tbh
Let them eat French's™
Are poor people really gorging themselves on fine condiments? Of course not. Ridiculous.
Yes, we are. I have nothing to put them on though, I'm just pouring Poupon straight down the throat hole.
This made me howl like that one-too-loud audience member from a canned laughter cassette tape.
You don't fill up a kiddie pool and bask in it?
Maybe? An ex from NC introduced me to putting Sweet Hot Mustard on summer sausage + cheese + Ritz cracker, and damn. It added like, 3 points in tastiness (on a 10 point scale).
That's not the same Sunshine that's on Lemmy, is it? 🤔
Sunshine would never
My Twitter account was deleted ages ago under a different name. Mastodon fulfils all my needs.
Interesting, tell me more!

Oh yes, the classic “the poor people are secretly happy and that bothers me” argument. It’s like a cat call for stupid people. The whole point of it is to say “you’re not allowed to have anything remotely nice because I consider myself better than you.”
It’s mental illness made into a political platform.
Yellow mustard is not less fancy. It's yellow because it has turmeric in it. That's more ingredients and it's one of those fancy unique spices.
The reason it's cheap is because Americans like the flavor of turmeric in their mustard so some companies have made a cheap version of it.
Dijon mustard is yellow? Isn't it not only the classic mustard but also (if it's made as it should, anyone can make "Dijon mustard" IIRC) made without any special additives?
Sorry, maybe my post was confusing. Dijon is the one that doesn't have turmeric and isn't yellow, the bright yellow ballpark mustard does.
Not at all, I guess my dijon mustads yellow is a bit desaturated in comparison!
Oh I see, sorry I agree most mustard is a little yellow. I was just contrasting it to ballpark mustard yeah.
Plus, different mustards for different foods. I like a yellow with a lot of things, but on a hotdog is pretty classic. I like a spicy brown mustard with some chicken. And maybe a stoneground for a deli sandwich. Chinese mustard from some restaurants, like with spring rolls, is also quite the treat at times, if you like the spice level! I'm hungry.
A little bit of mustard can enhance many sauces, too. Key words "a little bit". Like a bean pot recipe I base mine off of called for either 125 ml or 250 ml ketchup and 5 ml mustard. But if you forget that teaspoon of mustard, it doesn't taste nearly as good.

They charge for the blue checkmarks? And...people do it? I haven't had xitter since years before nazi boy bought it.
Unpopular opinion but I think the blue checkmark as a way to show that you support the platform isn’t a bad idea, that it replaced a verification system was the actual issue.
Voyager shows usernames in purple when they are a contributor to their app.
Yes, it was one of the more contreversial changes he did. Before, you had to be "vetted" by xitter staff as being both notable and who you said you were. That wasn't a great system, and was effectively a nepotism/who you knew game, but you wouldn't see blue checkmarks for fake accounts.
It used to be a sign of trustworthiness.
Now anyone can get one for a monthly fee.
what I find shocking is that the website still exists and has so many users; I even know a user IRL who hasn't noticed it has gotten any worse since Elon took over ...
If someone using xitter hasn't noticed it got worse, it's probably because they don't think the Nazis are a bad thing.
Nah, it's probably because not everyone cares about the political stuff so if for example you only follow cosplayers or whatever, you never get to see the nazis. At worst you might notice more creeps leaving weird comments but I dunno, I don't actually use it. Maybe I'm way off.
he has been accidentally sending me fascist propaganda without realizing it's fascist, like that Italian sculptor's video that was making the rounds, the guys who made that controversial Joan d'Arc statue with government funds?
Oh, then yeah.. guy sounds clueless. Also what video? Trying to find it but nothing that matches your description.
