  This is a valid counterpoint

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come hypothetically if I make meth in my home. Knowing full well it could explode and take out my neighbors houses, why am I not charged with attempted murder?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What constitutes a murder vs manslaughter charge varies quite a bit by state, as do sentencing guidelines.

  Both Saharan dust and the overwhelming majority of tropical waves would pass well south of this island, imo

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That island would probably have amazing weather

  Pretty sure that’s the point

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.S. Pedestrian Deaths Up 77% Since 2009 & The Auto Industry Knew It Would Happen⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Daytime fatalities are up 26.5% on this graph. Not good, but not 40%. Population growth was 8.5% over that period

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨should I go back to my old job now that several people, some of them more knowledgeable than me have told me they don't understand my decision to quit it?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think what you can take away from this is that you’re good at your work and respected by your colleagues. You don’t owe them anything though, and they don’t control you. If you’re satisfied with what you’re doing now, get used to confidently explaining why, and thank them for their praise.

  Literally true

  Good question. How many upvotes does it have on your end?

  I’m going to go out on a limb and say none of those clearly printed suggestions were written on that extremely course wooden telephone pole

  Search engine algorithms drove people to write stories before recipes, unfortunately. Pages that just had recipes were deprioritized

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Slop Recipes Are Taking Over the Internet — And Thanksgiving Dinner | Food bloggers see traffic dip as home cooks turn to AI, inspired by impossible pictures⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I watch chefs on YouTube demonstrate techniques, and then make recipes up as I go based on the ingredients I have available (This does not work for recipes that require exact measurements, like breads). Finding recipes through search engines has been a nightmare for a looong time.

  Also - Madhur Jaffrey and America’s Test Kitchen cookbooks. Both go into detail on techniques you can bring forward into all your cooking. Madhur Jaffrey taught me how to cook Indian food and it’s amazing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m in no way opposed to anyone opening their marriage, however I think the number of couples for whom opening a marriage also saves their marriage is miniscule compared to the number of people who separate and are happier for it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dude sounds pretty miserable, I don’t know if opening the marriage is going to solve that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Divorcing doesn’t mean leaving them. It can be possible to separate amicably. You’re likely to be a better father to your children if you take care of yourself, too

  Dude. You had a very different class than I did, and I grew up in the South…

  The problem is that it’s genuinely a great song, therefore over here it’s played ad nauseum leading up to Christmas in every shop that plays music. And literally every chain store plays music
