I have shot and killed a deer with a flintlock gun. They're not toys or props. He committed assault with a deadly weapon and the whole word is just like "Oh, that's just wish.com iron man. You know how he is."

They told him to get fucked, so one of his chode toadies on xitter started a rumor that they added him to the game and then removed him in a patch.

is it impossible to have a balanced conversation about starfield in particular, or does the internet ad economy tend to exclude the middle of every conversation in favor of loud antagonism and engagement bait?

Did y'all know that "nimrod" didn't mean idiot until Bugs Bunny said it? Nimrod was a biblical king who was supposed to be a mighty hunter. In an episode with Elmer Fudd Bugs was like 'What a Nimrod we got here' or some shit like that. Nobody got the reference, but everyone picked up on the fact that it was meant to be insulting, and so we all just assumed that nimrod meant idiot and now it does.

The issue with scaling in baking recipes is often that home bakers are measuring by volume and not mass. Any commercial baker is going to go by mass because with ingredients like flour the amount that's in 1 cup can vary wildly based on how firmly packed into the cup it is. There are also issues with how long you need to rest 10 pounds of dough vs 1 to ensure it properly hydrolyzes and the fact that pizza dough in pro pizza shops often undergoes a sort of accidental ferment just by nature of the fact that it's made in large batches then stored.

holding the delusion that people are naturally good

Nope! Just recognizing the truth that I, within myself, can be better and that I can accept the idea of being taken advantage of by the occasional bad faith actor in exchange for being able to be part of a broader community of people who do the right thing most of the time.

Cynicism is laziness masquerading as intellectualism. It's the "step 1: give up!" of philosophies.

Dope! Let's do it in court where if you're right we can restore you to your rightful office and if you're lying you'll go to prison for the rest of your life.

We've gone from "we're not corrupt" to "you can't do anything about it". He's not denying the corruption at all anymore.

Stop assuming they're stupid. They're not stupid. They're monsters, they know exactly what they're doing and they're doing it because they want people to suffer.

Came here to say this. How many times are we gonna watch one of them "accidentally" quote Hitler in a speech, or talk about the benefits of slavery, or talk about how they want to make women second-class citizens, then pretend that they didn't? They gathered under a banner at CPAC that said 'We are all domestic terrorists'. When someone tells you who they are, believe them.
