Yeah… Neither of those disprove my comment. The first article is about temporary legal status being given by a previous administration. Key word there being temporary. I’m not going to argue the morality or legality of that whole situation but those appear to be special exceptions.

Second article just proves that ICE is being racist and doing their jobs of checking peoples legal status. I did only skim the article but it didn’t appear to report that any of them actually got deported. Just detained and questioned.

They get “lost” in boating accidents.

It’s crazy how many guns are at the bottom of every lake and river.

*illegal immigrants.

We still have many immigrants coming into the country legally every day.

Number 2 spot is Germany. All of the immigrants they have ever had would need to double while not a single soul immigrated into the US for the next ~30 years.

Does America have racists and dumb people within its borders? Absolutely. What country doesn’t?

Is America the most racist country? Absolutely not. Is it the dumbest country? Also no.

Nowhere is perfect. Despite all its flaws America is still the number 1 immigration destination so clearly we must be doing something right.

99.99% of the time I am a function over form kinda guy.

I just do not like the shape of the first couple generations of the Prius.

The newest generation I actual think looks pretty good.

I can’t deny they do run basically forever. My dad got one to replace his minivan once all the kids had moved out and he is able to take him and his wife to gigs with his whole drum set comfortably in the back.

I drive his Prius occasionally for various reasons and I just don’t like it each time. I find it unsatisfying to drive and unpleasant to look, but I cannot deny it’s utility and reliability.

If only it wasn’t one of the most hideous vehicles ever made.

Same way you can buy a car and it can be remotely disabled by the company that made the car if they want to.

Always online always connected products are never truly 100% yours to own and do with what you please.

This is why the early 2000s Honda Civic will continue to be the pinnical of cheap transportation until the end of time

Electricity is pretty much just very directed fire if you think about it in a sorta abstract way.

Thats why ATLA was objectively correct that fire benders could also handle lightning.

Whenever I want to listen to someone eloquently rant about basic home appliances and the science behind how they function he is my favorite guy to listen to.

His personal hunt for the right “feeling” led Christmas lights I totally connected with. I miss the warm glow of the older energy wasting bulbs but the LED ones always looked/felt wrong. He pointed me towards a brand that does a pretty damn good job of replicating the color temperature of the old style colored string lights without the energy costs.

It’s the internet. Not much we can do. They will read the comments and do whatever it is they are gonna do. Nothing we can do to stop em.

You sound like you need some help. Like therapy help.

Based on the way you told the story and your responses to other peoples comments it seems like you might have some undiagnosed condition making you paranoid and aggressive at what seems like fairly normal neighbor behaviors.

Best of luck.

I should probably ask my mom to write down her recipes for posterity sake at some point. I think my sister knows some of them .

I think my mom’s recipe is all in her head. I do know that she tends to add some lemon peel zest into the dumpling mix which gives it just the faintest citrus smell/taste prior to the butter and brown sugar being added at the end.

Bed of luck. Let me know how you like em.

Nothing really.

Some of the greatest racecar drivers built their own cars. Some of the greatest race car drivers literally had no idea how to build a car.

Do your thang and have a good time.

She responded immediately. It’s called “Quark Klöße” according to her.

Looks like the specific ingredients and prep are a family thing, but that’s definitely what it’s based on.

Now I can rest easy. It was gonna drive me crazy if I couldn’t remember the name of the food. Haha

That Hungarian dish looks visually the closest but it was definitely made with wet cottage cheese.

I am absolutely going to butcher the name/spelling but it was called “cvlockclusa” in my house. I’ll ask my mom how it’s spelt.

My mom makes these cottege cheese and bread crumbs dumplings that she boils until they float and then you cut them in half and drizzle melted butter and brown sugar on them.

I could never pronounce or spell the name of the dish but she claims it’s a traditional German dessert.

I tried explain it to chat gpt and it had no clue what the hell I was talking about. It kept telling me about Turkish dishes that have the right ingredients but look nothing like the baseball sized dumplings she would make.

Now I’m starting to think that getting banned from reddit and them not telling me why and instantly denying my appeal was just a test. What a garbage website and moderation.
