“The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.”

-Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

Some recipes depend on the dough being mixed just until the ingredients are combined, and not any longer. Other commenters are saying that overmixing cookies can warm the butter too much. With some recipes, like muffins, mixing creates gluten chains that lead to chewey-ness and toughness. So in order to avoid that you stop mixing asap.

Baking is a chemical reaction and the quantities, order, and methods really do have a huge impact on the result!

It’s considered unethical

Uh yeah and it fucking should be, jesus christ.

I’ve been with a number of people as they came out of anesthesia and they were “awake” and talking before they were really conscious of it. Same experience with my own surgeries; I have no recollection of eating a popsicle but apparently I did and tried to share it with the whole nursing staff.

I think your friend is full of shit.

Jim Croce. He died relatively early in his career and was already an amazing songwriter. What could he have written with more time?

No one denies that wars bring medical advancements. What is questionable is the claim that Nazi experimentation advanced medical science.

Can you give an example of how medicine was actually advanced? Cause I’ve only heard that claim made by white supremacists.

What makes you assume the person you replied to is a “hypocrite” (i.e. eats factory chicken)?

I see more and more men wearing fanny-pack-like crossbody bags where I am (Holland). Hopefully it will start catching on in your area!

Or being traumatized from being autistic and getting side eyes, snickers, giggles, eye rolls, scoffs, and bullying whenever you committed some social faux pas.

Definitely not true in all of Europe. We pay in the Netherlands. In fact, I decided to go to school here since I never got to in the US, and found out I can’t even take out a student loan because I’m over 35.

Don’t even get me started on the STAP budget!

I’ve only needed local anesthesia so far, but they also do general anesthesia there.

I fully believe the dental profession attracts a lot of sadists and freaks. Truly, I have had some horiffic experiences.

I think the previous generations were conditioned to accept it, because the technology and techniques were much more uncomfortable. My parents are impressed as long as the dentist isn’t intentionally injuring them, lol.

The best thing I did was switch to a practice for people with dental phobia, and they literally don’t do anything special except be very gentle, and make sure you’re well anesthesized, and communicate everything, and check in with you frequently, and give plenty of breaks. Like every dentist should do.

People should feel free to be picky about what kind of dentist they see! You can actually have comfortable dental procedures these days!
