They want freedom from accountability, like King Leopold’s congo free state.

They want to conserve hierarchies, but only certain ones, and will work to create them if they do not already exist.

Religion. Creatureliness and givenness is a direct reference to creationism and is meant to be a conversation ender. No matter what it is you want, they can say God didn’t intend it and that’s the end of the conversation unless you want to discuss your hatred of God instead.

Of course it’s only certain people who only speak from self serving intuitions who get to decide what is natural and what is the creators will. Somehow it’s always something that serves their own ego, imagine that… almost like God is some bullshit they made up to distract from their lack of good arguments.

Seems like a slam dunk contingency case

I’m reminded of their support for that random Democrat from Hawaii. Turns out she was anti gay and pro intervention.

These people don’t have to be told a damn thing. They suspect the worst of the best, the best of the worst, and when it comes to ‘others’ they have nothing but scorn, even if it’s completely baseless. It seems to be a kind of narcissism.

“Good people can’t be good because I look bad by comparison. Bad people are good because I look good by comparison. Other people don’t look like me at all and so we must assume the absolute worst…”

To be fair though, I don’t know how we can sustain illegal immigration of low income workers.

Why does god? The vast preponderance of abortions happen in the same window as the vast preponderance of miscarriages, which can happen to 87 percent of fertilized embryos in the case of in vitro fertilization, and some other smaller but also shockingly high number for in vivo fertilization.

Also if you don’t want ‘innocent babies’ to be killed why have such a hard on against prophylactics and plan b, especially since it takes 24h for sperm and egg to actually merge DNA and form a new organism? Why have an issue with birth control or porn or premarital conjugation and why make it everyone else’s issue?

If women are getting abortions in the same period that God randomly gives miscarriages, I tend to think they are actually part of the same thing and that the feeling the prospective mother has about her future child being unwanted is just one final ‘God given’ protection against creating something broken.

And yet they are inconsistent on companies that pollute air food and water. Somehow when corporations do it knowingly for the profit motive it’s God’s will despite causing miscarriages and birth defects en masse.

I have a Thai uncle and I’ve never heard of this -but to be fair he is only an uncle. I have had his cooking though and never encountered any inedible spices.

Inedible spices should be picked out and removed

Cores pits and stems are removed from cooking, and honestly I do like to nosh on the marrow from bones

To be fair, not every Chinese restaurant knows how to slice duck properly. The proper way slices the meat and skin off of the bones, so that each piece has a bit of meat and skin, and presents the flesh separately from the bones.

Some places though just hack into the carcass so that every piece has bone. They say it’s ‘fun.’ I as an ethnic Chinese say it’s ridiculous. I have had it done right and I have had it done poorly and surprisingly the price point is the same! Some places really skimp on the seasoning too, at the same price point.

Other dishes tend to be fairly similar across different restaurants but it seems like with duck you can really tell who gives a shit / was trained properly as a chef.

I mean writing letters to the man directly. Even if he has someone else write back, the fact that he’s being contacted about this will keep him from forgetting about it.

Don’t like the news? Don’t click on it.

This is entirely different from ranting about Obama under a recipe for peach cobbler

The EPA is an executive agency right? Maybe if we raise enough hell to Biden himself, he can stop this shit.

7 percent of the people who eat fish will get cancer? Fish travel and their nutrients travel. Absolutely fuck this shit.

Yes? He has to make his nonprofit look legitimate so how better than to invest in otherwise unprofitable industries?

Also he could just believe in the idea. It’s not unheard of.
