Hello United States citizen. Believe it or not, there are English speaking countries other than the United States. Not only is this true, they also use the same English words to describe different things.

In the UK, jam refers to the typically fruit based spread you eat with something like bread. Seeds? No seeds? It’s all jam. Jelly refers to a gelatinous gelatin dessert, commonly known as Jell-O in the United States.

Marmalade is a jam made using a citrus fruit and its peel. Shockingly, it means the same thing in both countries and would be referred to as jam in both.

In the United States, jelly is what you stated. The same thing but with the entire fruit, which you incorrectly dubbed preserves, is called jam. Preserves, specifically fruit preserves, refers to either as it is specifically defined as a preparation of fruits whose main preserving agent is sugar. Jam, jelly (in freedumb speech), and marmalade are all fruit preserves, as are fruit chutneys and conserves.

Tl;dr: you’re on the Internet. Before authoritatively and incorrectly correcting someone, consider using it to verify that you’re actually correct first.

Gelatin, also known as hydrolyzed collagen, is made from primarily pig skins which are acid treated to break them down.

I’m a tot? No, uratot!

Baby steps toward making Idiocracy a reality.

Oh please, I’m hardly the only one that ghosts people on these sites. Half of the time, the other person stops talking and ghosts me instead.

Looks like you need therapy for your lack of empathy. “At least half of the other people are assholes too” is a piss poor excuse for being an asshole yourself.

Your whole post is a big, glaring, flashing red flag. It makes it pretty clear that in a potential relationship of two people, only your feelings are important to you. Definitely not good friend material and you sure as shit shouldn’t be raising children.

What people choose to associate themselves with in public is exactly fuck all of your business. Don’t be like the meme guy, tend to your own garden.

Fact checking is left wing! I saw INTERVIEWS and, as everyone knows, anecdotal evidence is the best representation of what’s really going on!

ROFLMAO

Sources or STFU.

This you?

I’ve come to prefer waiting. When a new game comes out, what I tend to see from the scene is the initial release, then a few updates/patches, a lull where updates/patches are missed (unless it’s pretty popular), and eventually a rerelease with the now final updated version.

Waiting for the last means no figuring out why cracks don’t work, wrestling with weird performance issues, etc.

Do you realize you’re on the Internet? You can use the Internet to look up if things are true or not. Like how what you’re insisting is true actually isn’t.

This regurgitated propaganda brought to you by the same minds who fabricated “partial birth abortions”.

This is all assuming that most of this isn’t political theater, and I’m really starting to wonder how much of United States politics is actually genuine. So often the Democrats have had the opportunity to do something drastic, if less drastic then that frequently done by Republicans, to counteract the erosion of personal freedom and democracy. Yet they always seem to find a reason not to, typically with the justification that they don’t want to push the envelope like the Republicans do, despite the fact the Republicans will continue to push the envelope to their benefit when back in power.

I’m starting to think a lot of this is bullshit.

My buddy and I were just talking about this. Juggalos get a lot of shit, but my experience is that they are one of the most accepting groups around. It doesn’t matter if you’re a PhD or are stealing copper out of abandoned houses, if you show up with some clown makeup and fire poi, juggalos are down to clown.

GTFO of here, this is Reddit Lemmy. Anyone providing anything useful for free must be subjected to intensely unfair scrutiny or the whole system falls apart.

But really, this place is increasingly turning into Reddit and it’s depressing.

You’re got to be kidding. The post is about right to work laws. It includes a summary of what that means, plus links for more information. So you downvoted because OP didn’t compare and contrast two unrelated laws or write a dissertation on how right to work laws vary by state/county/city. Laws that by definition literally only do one thing. This shit is why people don’t post more.

To highlight how ridiculous your comment is, I’ll help OP out and provide what you found to be so lacking. I know this is going to make OP look pretty bad, so I’m sure they’ll provide at least a partial refund of what you paid for their post.

At-will employment: you can be fired for anything not protected by law.

Right to work laws: employees in unionized workplaces cannot negotiate employment contracts which require that non union employees must pay union dues.

Compare: they are applied to employees Contrast: neither does anything similar

Ackchyualllllly, it’s ineffective and immature *adjusts glasses before slurping the filling out of a Hot Pocket*

Pretty sure Farmfixit here needs to fix themselves.

I already have one: telling people to go back to Reddit. It’s fun and satisfying.

Can you describe the extremism left of spectrum?

Honest question, not JAQing off, and I won’t jump down your throat no matter what you say.

Fuck off back to Reddit
