crazyminner, in What do you like about socialism?

I like working and feeling like I’m helping others or working towards a larger goal without the constant ever present exploitation of myself and others.

Brkdncr, in What are your best air fryer/oven recipes?

Brussels sprouts.

Chop up a potato into chunks, boil for 5 mins. Drain, add butter salt, any seasonings you like, mix it together until the chunks softened.

Spread it out on a tray and air fry at like 350 for 25 mins or until it’s crispy. Tastes great.

Deconceptualist, in Who are your favorite overlooked historical figures?

Rosalind Franklin maybe. Folks have been coming around to recognizing her though.

shinigamiookamiryuu, in What do you like about socialism?

It addresses the crudeness of the hand that deals some people, rather than assume equal opportunism is automatic.

Witchfire, in Corporate Censorship Bring You Here?

I got banned for saying riot police should quit their jobs en masse following RvW. Then I turned until the API shit hit the can.

jordanlund, in Are there any people who were offended by Norm MacDonald's comedy? Was he controversial, or nah?

I think the only person offended was that one NBC executive who was buddies with noted double murderer OJ Simpson.

jopepa,

Isn’t it weird that we can hear him say that in our heads so clearly but imitating it is impossible.

Rhynoplaz,

You know who CAN imitate it? Frank Stallone.

sin_free_for_00_days, in Are there any people who were offended by Norm MacDonald's comedy? Was he controversial, or nah?

Most of the people I know who seemed offended were more offended that they just didn’t find him funny. I always felt, and still feel, bad for them.

Don Ohlmeyer for one. He’s the NBC executive who had Norm fired as SNL’s Weekend Update anchor because he wouldn’t stop mocking Don’s friend, famous double murderer, O.J. Simpson.

LemmyKnowsBest,

Oh yeah I remember that now, Norm Macdonald was fired from Saturday night live “for not being funny,” and he found it odd when he was invited back a couple years later to give the opening monologue.

LordOfTheChia, (edited )

The worse thing about that whole ordeal was the hypocrisy.

stewie3128,

It was great when Ohlmeyer went on Colbert Report and got mocked for saying NBC was going to lose money on the Winter Olympics. Colbert did a fund drive to help, and presented him with a giant check for like $5.08

It’s also great that he’s been dead since 2017. Conan was right when he called him one of the silverback gorillas running TV.

DwightAllRight, in What is the goofiest Christmas present you received this year?

A bottle opener that captures and shoots the bottle caps out. Fun little gadget.

kometes, in Lets start a new Lemmy holiday tradition. What's a song you've been digging lately?
@kometes@lemmy.world avatar

“Spiral City” – Carr

shinigamiookamiryuu, in Who are your favorite overlooked historical figures?

Oddly enough (because we’re in the last few hours of Christmas right now), Saint Nicholas. People go at depth with their kids about the existence of Santa with many not realizing there’s an actual Saint Nicholas who not only has delivered actual gifts each year but was an explorer in his mortal years who was said to have control over the weather (which served as his “miracle requirement” into sainthood) and fought corruption in the Catholic church.

raynethackery, in When you go home for the holidays, do you ever stop feeling like a kid?

My father died when I was 25. That’s when I stopped feeling like a kid at Christmas.

just_ducky_in_NH,

I’m so sorry. It must be hard.

Alexstarfire, in Lottery winner

Could probably buy enough congressmen to pass a few laws. Not sure what the best ones would be.

fsxylo, (edited )

Except scum recognizes scum and only does deals with each other. That’s why you hear the prices are so cheap, it’s practically a formality.

AlfredEinstein,

This is absolutely true about corrupt people seeking each other out.

A disembodied force of pure evil exists in this world, and its minions are working together.

Well unfortunately he used his final special to spew transphonic trash. Basically any time he wandered his way into politics it was never good, but he had some amazing jokes when he didn’t.

LemmyKnowsBest,

Hooked on phonics

Illuminostro,

Pholitics.

feedum_sneedson,

He was great all the time.

Fenrisulfir,

I must’ve missed it then. Got a timestamp or link to an example?

kvadd, in What's your automatic vacuum's name?

Robert and J Edgar Hoover
