@hey @Janne_O @mekkaokereke yeah, about 30% of America believes that any sort of federal ID is the mark of the beast and will sell their soul to Satan. A very significant portion of the US believes in a literal spooky devil that goes around and does shit.

@Rasp absolutely, one of the ways you know you've gotten decent at cooking is being able to go "whoops guess I'm out of that, oh well, this'll work" and having it still taste good. I tend to only adhere strictly to the recipe the first time I make something new, just to get a feel for what whatever I'm making is "supposed" to taste like, after that I'm probably not even close to the original recipe.

@aulia @thomasfuchs The trick is, votes D or leans D is most of America. The 50/50 both sides shit is an artifact of our broken electoral system, and the whole "land matters more than people, you get less say the more neighbors you have" thing, than it is a political reality. Like the D's are kinda everyone left of hunting the homeless for sport at this point. Biden's biggest problem was he had no draw other than not being Trump, someone with actual excitement behind them is far better off.

@mos_8502 I'm not sure what gender "turned into a mare to give birth to their father's steed" is, but I am damn sure it ain't cishet.

@annecavicchi @saddestrobots lots of them, you have to remember that cops don't just make whatever their listed salary is, they also make overtime and detail rate. Every cop you see directing traffic for road work or events is not an underpaid civil servant, but someone making ~$50 an hour extra on top of their base pay, and lots of those details are just sitting in a car at a certain place all day.
