Yeah, the life expectancies on a lot of those reservations are off the scale of that chart. Pine Ridge is the worst, with 48m/52f.

Bake don't fry. Healthier and ensures your home doesn't smell like poo poo.

Cut russet potatoes into your favorite shape. I usually do steak fry or thick traditional fry shapes. Toss with olive oil. Hit with spice blend. I am partial to Montreal steak seasoning. Put on parchment paper and get them in the oven at 400 for 40 minutes, flipping once after ~25 minutes. Cook to desired doneness.

You can also do poo poo like boiling them before baking but it's not worth the time IMO.

If you boil them for like 5 minutes before baking then they will cook in the same amount of time as sweet potatoes so you can do a yam-potato medley and have them all cooked to perfection. Top with a couple of fried eggs, green onions, and some Sriracha and you have a reason to get up in the morning.

Nearly all snacks are skyrocketing in price while having their packaging shrunk down and the ingredients/recipes changed. I got a box of Wheat Thins Bigs the other week to use for a dip -- it was like $5 for 8oz and the chips are half as thin as they used to be. I'm just not gonna bother anymore with pretty much anything processed.

I wish I could, but my dumb goon brain is addicted to ice cream and jelly beans.

I was going to make a joke about getting to know the local police that way (as plants) but you're absolutely correct.

I will also add that non-political community activities can be both doing good and doing yourself good: work with community gardens & food banks, meals on wheels, aid for immigrant communities, mentoring programs, cleanup days, literacy tutoring, etc.

Most volunteer organizations & activities are geared toward people who don't have a lot of free time and they require as little as one day a month or even once a year for special events.

That's only if you include non-discretionary spending which, at least for social security & Medicare, you probably shouldn't since it's basically a nationalized pension scheme. Military is a little less than half of the discretionary spending.

Funny how we hear both
* that social security & entitlements are the biggest expenses breaking the government budget and killing are economy so we have to cut it
* that social security "is going to run out of money" in X years so we have to cut it
from the same assholes.

Is it a pool of money that's going to run out later or a general expense that's breaking our budget every year? Well, it's whichever one makes you more scared!

the interesting thing about this for me is that we all know what you need already- good grades, extracurricular activities, regular charity work and hopefully international, national or local awards doing stuff

these people clearly got a fail child that did none of those things so theyre paying a fixer or rain maker to “help” smooth the application process / buy the dean a new house

here's a broad existential questions but what uh, what are we supposed to do?

like what am i as an adult supposed to be trying to do in this system? kids are out of the question, i likely won't ever be able to afford a house or at least not until im nearing 45/50. i'm constantly trying to pull myself out of a debt spiral only for the economy to poo poo its pants the second it looks like i might get on top of things. the political system is rapidly crumbling and we're a heartbeat away from throwing domestic undesirables into the same camps we throw foreign undesirables. i personally know about a half dozen people who've been shot during various mass shootings so that continues to be a large and ever increasing specter over day to day social gatherings. oh and the entire ecosystem is going to tip into a series of cascading failures in the next decade or so. im just completely at a loss for how to proceed anymore.

am i just supposed to run out the clock here?

I recently started replacing "mindless doomscrolling" with "mess around with a guitar and watch science videos", and I'm actually starting to suck less at guitar!!

Govt regs changed a while ago and drove the small farmers out of business. You have to have a climate controlled storage facility for them now instead of just piling them up in a big barn
I thinkt this changed around the end of Obama's term but just another way that good intentions of less rotting food meant more ability for the mega Corp to fix prices

this is hilarious because that's about the time whole potatos started rotting the instant you bought them. i guess they keep them longer before selling them because they're "preserved" but it doesn't really slow down the process

its definitely a mix. its reaching through appalachia and many of the white poor counties in the south. its probably entirely down to access (both physical and financial) and red states are more likely to kill medicaid and have shutdown hospitals. detroit being like the biggest red dot in michigan is pretty telling along with WV.

so basically its poverty +medical funding, its just america is racist about that.

Most parties are waging wars of genocide on the populations of the states they control, but red states are in the lead for points scored.
