Maybe it'd be better if you put a chicken in this meme.

At least 1 english language cookbook from before 1982 has the word "ciabatta".

[-] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 hours ago

My grandma, aunt, and a former boss. Admittedly not great sources, but ask any boomer who toured or lived in Italy during that era if they had a ciabatta back then.

A google books search for pre-1982 books brings up at least one cookbook https://www.google.com/search?tbo=p&tbm=bks&q=ciabatta&tbs=,cdr:1,cd_max:Dec+31_2+1982&num=100

I don't believe that, tons of people claim to have been eating Ciabattas in the 60s and 70s.

They can't all be misremembering.

If there was one or two, sure, but 200+?

No, the Good Samaritan Act says free food doesn't have to be inspected as long as it's given "in good faith apparently wholesome food or apparently fit grocery products to a nonprofit organization for ultimate distribution to needy individuals"

https://www.usda.gov/media/blog/2020/08/13/good-samaritan-act-provides-liability-protection-food-donations

All fifty states and the District of Columbia have additional food donation statues that limit food donor’s liability—these currently vary widely, such as by who (i.e., donors, nonprofit organizations), and what foods and food products are covered.

state laws may provide greater protection against liability, but not less

The point is that it's a self-imposed handicap. If a party has 50%+ in both houses and the presidency, they have the ability to pass whatever they like and choose not to use it.

You only need 50%+ of the senate to change the rules that allow the filibuster.

There is some irony in that every time I talk to conservative friends/family about the things I loath Biden for, they're reasons they should love him, if only the media reported on it.

He's weak on the border? The one he tried to close, but was blocked by republicans, so he went around congress to illegally kick out refugees?

There's too many brown people? He's deported more people than Trump did.

He's left Israel out to dry? He sent everything that was allocated to them, and more, and even bombed Yemen to support the genocide of Gaza.

Abortion? Who exactly is letting Roe lie dead?

Welfare? He ended covid protections, child poverty skyrocketed.

Do you remember the PUMAs in 2008? More Bernie Bros were willing to vote Hillary in the general than PUMAs were willing to vote Obama.

But we're getting distracted, you can't blame Bernie supporters because the politician chosen by the DNC had the blood of millions on her hands, and was just generally unlikable.

You run a politician that offers the people fuckall, of course they're not gonna take a day off work to vote for you, they'd rather have the money.

We've been saying from day one, that if Biden doesn't move to the left and use every tool at his disposal to improve people's material conditions, Trump's going to win in 2024.

Biden didn't just not go left, he tried to outflank the republicans from the right by facilitating genocide, ending covid protections, and passing the most draconian border bill since like the 40s.

This is the closest thing he could have done to handing Trump the presidency, short of appointing him VP and stepping down.

Yall need to learn some history.

The liberal SDP split with the communists, supporting "centrist" Hindenburg in the name of unity.

The communists campaigned on "A vote for Hindenburg is a vote for Hitler is a vote for war"

Hindenburg won the election, getting more votes than either the communist or fascist candidates.

Hindenburg, the liberal candidate, then proceeded to make Hitler the chancellor and staff positions of power with nazis while purging the government of communists.

The nazis then barely had to do anything to assert complete control.

The nazis didn't get in power because communists stayed home, they got into power because the liberals would rather work with fascists than communists.

Among other changes to immigration law, the measure would make it more difficult to gain asylum in the United States and increase detentions and deportations of those crossing into the country without authorization. It would also effectively close the border altogether if the average number of migrants encountered by immigration officials exceeded a certain threshold — an average of 5,000 over the course of a week or 8,500 on any given day. The bill also would give the president power to close the border unilaterally if migrant encounters reach an average of 4,000 per day over a week.
