stay the fuck outta my kitchen.

Uh, yeah, obviously.

I’d bet my car I can trim down a pork loin faster than you, with less waste, and less bullshit left on the meat. But who knows, maybe my “slightly dull” is the same as your “sharp”, and this is all a big misunderstanding.

Uh huh. How much meat have you trimmed? Tons? Slightly dull is sharp enough to separate meat from silverskin, but not chop into the meat or silverskin. It’s faster, more efficient, less wasteful. If you’re using a sharp knife, you’re either not being thorough, you’re being wasteful, or you’re taking longer than you need to. Full stop. A slightly dull blade is the technique.

I’ve trimmed literally tons of meat. You don’t know what you’re talking about, slightly dull is better.

Yup. The only real exception is trimming connective tissue from meat. A slightly dull knife can perfectly peel it away without wasting much meat, a nice sharp knife will cut straight through it and make way more work for yourself

Pungency is volatile. The first cuts either need to happen right before as garnish, or go into something before all the good stuff evaporates.

Maybe? I’ve watched a lot of YouTube videos. I spent several years working in a kitchen, which is where that knowledge comes from.

The more you cut, the more you break cell walls, and the more pungent the onion becomes.

That ain’t working

I’ll have you know I’m quirky and unique. I slap the bags of rice at the grocery store, who else would do that?

That’s part of the point. Destroy the government, and the public’s faith in it, so billionaires can do as they please sans regulations.

Yeah he’s an idiot and his party is stupid, but I see it as a net benefit. He’ll either peel votes off Republicans, or he’ll get RCV.

This country is an aircraft carrier, not a canoe, and the only way it drastically changes direction in a short time is if someone starts blowing holes in the bottom of it.

A perfect illustration. Politics is slow. It may seem like things are moving quickly in this administration, but the groundwork to get to this point took generations of propaganda and power concentration. Even if by some miracle, a leftist third party won the White House, they wouldn’t have the foundation necessary to actually do anything. The push to the left is going to be a slow process, and the first several election cycles are going to look a lot like milquetoast liberalism.

Extreme strictness is a form of abuse. These symptoms are particular, though not individually exclusive, to strictness. As long as you “behave” you avoid the material effects of the abuse. Other forms of abuse typically have fewer “rules” that can be used as safeguards.

Thanks, I curated my vibe to repel basic-ass bitches.

Even impoverished Americans have a relatively high standard of living, globally speaking. People are struggling, but they generally have a roof over their heads and don’t have to eat their pets. We’re not where we should be by any measure, but we’re also nowhere near the levels of desperation that push people to armed revolt.

Eh, bread and circuses. People are still relatively comfortable and complacent.

Huh.

Disco Elysium was so stress free for me, I didn’t really think the day counter did anything.

It didn’t bother me at all, because I felt like I did about everything I could every day.

They rest in the boxes they came in.
