  • I didn't know donut or pho restaurants made their own dough. It probably varies by location, though. I've seen some donut places where the boxes of shipped ready to make product were stored where customers could see it. It blew my mind how much they had on hand in order to not run out.

  • Odd. I find it to be the exact opposite. If I want a real article, with thought put into it beside how to make it pop up as #1 in the search engine, I need to set the most recent date possible as prior to 2015 (sometimes even further back).

    I suppose it depends on what you're looking for. News articles obviously have to be recent, and it's relatively difficult to bullshit your way into an informative news piece. Advice or DIY instructions though? You better search waaaay far back.

  • I highly doubt the supreme court will care about breaking apart the way we think the legal system works. They'll just take another case that would have its handling changed, and declare that 'this particular instance works the old way, but that other one works the new way, (stick fingers in their ears) la la la la'

  • You forgot that before the Egypt thing, there was a Jewish-to-be man (Abraham) who randomly left his home (Ur) and extended family to go be a shepherd. Shenanigans ensue as he gets multiple wives (who hate each other), multiple kids (who hate each other), and does kooky shit with his new surrounding folks (and oh, they hate each other).

  • one of the few individuals who actually read through the bible

    What just dumbfounds me is that about every other year, my religious family start talking about how they're going to do some group thing where they read through the entire bible. I know how that goes... Even while they're reading through it all, they still cherry pick what they are going to talk about each week because there is just so many gosh dang words in there. Then they forget 60% of what they even talked about. Then they spew off as if they know everything ever about christianity while never having read any of the apologetics or philosophical underpinnings of even their creed, much less any other. It's a symptom of the last few decades, I think, where we accept the barest minimum of understanding of a subject as being enough to confidently believe we are knowledgeable. Dunning-Kruger strikes again, I guess.

  • If I was in texas, and I was forced to make the choice of whether to uproot everything and leave because of politics, or stay in a shithole...

    well, damn, I'd fight back pretty hard against any government that would put me in the position where I would have to make that choice. Abbot and his ilk are going to be screwed from every direction if they keep pushing this poison.

  • Which opinion? That the state doesn't care about whether a victim of a murderer is innocent or also a criminal? You can look up just about any criminal case and see that criminals are just as often victims of crime as any 'innocent' person. Literally, a compatriot dying while committing a crime with you will get you charged with Felony Murder.

    If you mean that the state doesn't care if it executes innocent people, well: https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/policy-issues/innocence

  • It's red meat for the base. The corporate overlords who fund the republican party love the cheap labor they can exploit, and they love it even more because the republican party 'otherizing' the illegal immigrants gets them all sorts of leverage they can use against said labor, since the populace won't care what happens to them.

  • I know that where I live, a doctor can do something that makes the driver's license folks have to hold a hearing on the individual. As far as I know, it's almost never done because the doctor is going to 1.) be sued, and 2.) be dragged through the mud by the dipshit and nearly every single person who knows the dipshit. For most, it's just not worth it.

  • so unless you hit the neighbor jackpot, the suburbs are a super lonely experience

    Everything else you say is right on, but this is the one that annoys me. I've had shitty neighbors. I've had neighbors that were constantly committing domestic assault and having the police called on them. Overall though, I knew and spent time with my neighbors because we all made the effort to be a community. I've recently moved to take care of a dying family member, but even in the few months I've been here there have been improvements in the relationship with the neighbors because we made agreements to have a block party once a month, have the husband/wife lunch every few weeks, and generally socialize. It sucks to start if no one on your block is talking, but most people are pretty happy to start building a relationship with their neighbors. You just have to put in the effort.

  • Pretty sure the Iceland thing proved that one. When they made extracurriculars like athletics or clubs mandatory (and obviously supported it so it wasn't a giant effort for the families), teen alcohol/drug addiction dropped handily.
