King Arthur has pretty excellent recipes across the board. I'm pretty sure I've made the same biscuits myself as that's where I turn first when baking something new.

America elected this fuck - I'd rather not allow our executives to make judgment calls on whether to hand over the reigns.

The American people made this choice - much to Biden's dismay.

Damnit, funny it may be but if this flew under the radar Mexico would have a better chance at dodging tariffs.

And you didn't even get a fancy jet!

I agree, but I tend to use evangelicals because they are the worst and clearest example.

Recounts generally only correct for errors in vote counting - if different systems are used (i.e. electronic tally for initial count and by hand for recount) where one is cheaper and faster and the other is more expensive and more precise then it makes sense to trigger automatically if the vote is close enough that error could account for a swing.

However, recounting using the same system will result in the same outcome (varied by whatever amount of error is inherent in that counting system) with the single exception being suspected interference in the counting process.

If, for instance, there's a municipality suspected to be staffed by pro-Russian bureaucrats then it makes to recount the result using trusted actors as a way to remove possible error.

Mandatory recounts with the same system and participants don't get us anything particularly meaningful.

The beaver who can destroy the flow of the water is the one who truly controls it.

I agree that critical thinking could likely reduce the problem (though I think equal education access is difficult and religion is still harmful in communities that have been denied proper access to education). However, religious zealots purposefully create these education vacuums so if religion is tolerated then it will slowly deprive society from equal education access.

Religion just seems to inevitably make shit worse.

I do completely agree that this isn't limited to WASPs - psuedo-religious bullshit like crystals and fortune telling perpetuate the same issues... they tend to be less well organized but given time small faiths seem to entrench themselves. There is an excellent example of this in the meteoric rise of Scientology.

I am confused. Is the concern that the vote counting process was compromised or that voters were unduly swayed before the election?

I've heard grumbling about the latter (especially regarding TikTok) but a recount wouldn't remedy that.

Sir, I doth guffaw at Aldi.

Evangelicals literally couldn't give a shit about reality... they live in a fantasy world where the world will end next year and where the only moral abortion is my abortion because those other women were tramps or some other bullshit.

These people are fucking broken from having propaganda shoved down their gullets 24/7 and rather than treating Evangelicalism as a mental health crisis America decides to put them in government.

About twenty years ago, I was happy to live and let live when it came to religion... it's now clear that it isn't just the opiate of the masses. It's a poison to society. Some people find comfort from trauma in religion, and it legitimately helps them - but the cost to society is too great.

As someone who loves municipal markets.... can yall just like come to Spain for a week to see how much the better the world could be than Aldi's?

You know... as a fan of the elder scrolls I am deeply saddened at the namespace clash.

If it's a requirement, I'm sure she could manage something on the plane ride home.

Don't forget to tip your landlord!

We'll take his point as seriously as Trump promising not to enact Project2025.

Honestly, it may come to that... but if it does it's going to fucking suck - out ancestors would probably thank us at least.

You must be one of those goody two-shoes wizards... I'm going to be scheming - about orbs.

On Arrakis we had desert power but here, in Canada, we must use hydropower.
