Thanks for the info! The hardest part is definitely getting the votes to actually change laws. Voting to cut off a money supply can’t be popular among the more selfish politicians. :/

News@lemmy.world•OpenAI says CEO Sam Altman's house was targeted with a Molotov cocktail
571·1 day ago“ChatGPT told me to do it!”
That’s what the quoted words mean…
I always understood dark money as donations made in a way that obfuscated who was actually donating so I was wondering if direct “contributions” from AIPAC were still considered ok since it’s just a “regular” donation.
You really didn’t see any of this on your own?
Not really to be honest. I’ve always seen the media as attacking Democrats when it’s economic policy that helps people and attacking Republicans when it’s culture war stuff. I didn’t notice a shift when the new chair took over, not to say you’re wrong and it didn’t happen.
Do they consider AIPAC “dark money” though, would be an interesting question to have answered. Do they have the resolution posted?

…oops two weeks passed and now the cease fire is over, we can’t testify now because we’re back in a state of war! Oh no! I’m so sorry! Just another 6 years of delays please!

News@lemmy.world•Hunter Biden challenges Trump's sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, to cage match
7·1 day ago“What do you mean we’re both not allowed to have someone else fight for us? That’s life, that’s how it works no? Someone else does everything for me and I get the results! Why is this different!? Communist!!!”
I start with the whole breast while cooking then shred after. I think shredding them and ensuring they’re mixed with everything right after cooking helps, but I never eat it right from the crockpot so it could just be reabsorbing the spiced liquid as it cools in the fridge that is doing the trick.
Edit: I also only cook on the “low” setting even though it says 10 hours, I never let it go much longer than 3 or the chicken gets too “well done” just gotta do your typical chicken testing whether with a meat thermometer or pulling it apart to see/feel the texture.
I have 2 that I bounce between if I ever do feel like changing things up.
2 chicken breasts, half a sweet onion/Vidalia sliced, 8 oz can of sliced mushrooms, 14oz can of mixed vegetables, 28oz can of “small red beans.” I don’t measure seasoning so all I can say is: one metric fuckton of paprika, sprinkle of cayenne pepper, 1/8 metric fuckton of curry powder, 1/8 metric fuckton of granulated garlic, decent sprinkle of garlic salt or regular salt, drizzle of olive oil
The other I don’t have the cans for this week so I’m not sure of the volume, but similar size to the beans just chickpeas/garbanzo beans instead, same vegetables, same mushrooms, same onion, similar size can of the vegetables but of collard greens. 1/2 metric fuckton of granulated garlic, 1/2 metric fuckton of dried parsley, decent sprinkle of garlic salt or regular salt, drizzle some olive oil and small drizzle of soy sauce. Same 2 chicken breasts.
I usually start beans on the bottom, sliced onion, then chicken and seasoning, then the veggies on top. For the chickpea one I pour the liquid from the can in there as well, apparently it’s a decent source of protein. Obviously you don’t need the collard greens or mushrooms if you don’t like them, I just made these recipes up they didn’t come from anywhere specific.
Edit: forgot to add, when it’s done I just pull the chicken apart so it’s “shredded” and mix it all together.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Do people in real life actually care who dates who and who is in or out of "people's leagues"?
1·2 days agoI can only say how I would feel. I’m not sure about anyone else, but for me I’d just see them and say “lucky motherfucker…” Lol
For me though I absolutely have this idea of a “league.” I’m the poor guy, the ugly guy, for myself the vast majority of women aren’t just out of my league, they’re playing a totally different game lol my 10 years on dating sites corroborates that theory.
A slow cooker and an ability to eat the same thing every day makes meal prep incredibly simple for me lol
Every Sunday I spend like 20 mins prepping the food for the slow cooker, pop it in, and then I walk away for 3 hours. Lunch for the whole week done!
That’s not far off to what my actual plan is, but for the sake of “humor” I wanted to keep it concise lol
I actually have an idea based on the assisted suicide pods that I’ll probably do. Just need to get an airtight head covering and a pressure relief valve to keep the internal pressure low enough that it doesn’t hurt and hook up a tank of nitrogen to the head covering.
Supposedly it’s the buildup of CO2 that makes your body freak out, so if you can keep expelling it from your body and the relief valve lets it out of the head covering while keeping the nitrogen coming in it shouldn’t be too unpleasant… Hopefully… Lol I still have like 20 years to figure it out though, not doing anything while my parents are still alive.

World News@quokk.au•Halt to Iran attacks means Netanyahu's corruption trial will resume on Sunday
10·2 days agoSo then there’s a countdown for new attacks before Sunday I will assume. No way he’s simply going to allow the corruption trial to ever happen. There will be perpetual war just to keep him out of prison…

…my guy. Sure I’m happy for you, but you’re literally stressing out to a guy who lives in a fucking garage and whos retirement plan is a shotgun in the mouth.

Femcel Memes@lemmy.blahaj.zone•At 23 years old… thanks shyness and introversionEnglish
161·2 days agoMaybe online dating can help? I only know it from the guys perspective (think: perpetually empty inbox) but from what I understand, women are usually inundated with likes and messages so you can be as picky and you like and only respond to those that stand out as someone you could be comfortable speaking to. Bonus that it’s just online so you don’t need to be shy in person and can choose how long you take to react.
There are 8 billion people in the world so it’s guaranteed that there are people that just don’t like you, which is fine because again there’s 8 billion people so it’s guaranteed that those people are just stupid. :P

politics @lemmy.world•Donald Trump says US military "loading up" for next conquest

politics @lemmy.world•Donald Trump says US military "loading up" for next conquest
24·2 days agoSo a Cuban “victory” will come with sanctions lifted, the closure of Guantanamo Bay, and South Beach ceded.
I wish, but I don’t think Cuba has any kind of leverage that would cost the US anything. I’m pretty concerned that this will actually be an “easy win”. :/

politics @lemmy.world•Trump promised to cut electric costs in half. Bills in energy-rich West Virginia now top mortgages
10·3 days agoTrump made lots of promises. That’s the thing most people don’t seem to understand about liars, they lie. It’s ok though let’s vote for the lying liar that always lies, he won’t lie to me because he hates woke too so we’re on the same team.

The most transparent administration ever right?
Most transparently corrupt…
