I have some news for members of the united states armed forces who feel like they are pawns in a political game and their assignments being unnecessary.

I fucking despise when things fake being higher quality than they are. I don't mean like slapping a slightly misspelled brand name onto an identical non-designer product for purely aesthetic reasons I mean like rivets or thread that are actually glued down rather than punched or stitched. Fake pockets on jeans that are actually just an extra seam. Heavy looking chain that's plastic or very soft flimsy metal rather than anything sturdy. I bought boots which looked like they had a stitched sole 8 months ago and lo and behold the glue holding the sole on is revealing itself by falling apart. You PUT a STITCH IN THERE. YOU HAD THE NEEDLE AND THREAD. AND YOU DIDNT ACTUALLY STITCH DOWN THE FUCKING SOLES. Oh it makes me so mad. Cheap cunts taking the aesthetics of durability or practicality while handing you a product that won't last you the year

Months after a viral haka was performed in New Zealand parliament, the controversial bill that sparked it has now been defeated. The Treaty Principles bill sought to redefine the which is New Zealand's founding document. The bill was brought by ACT Party leader David Seymour, who believed the current interpretation of the treaty gave more rights to Māori people than non-Māori New Zealanders. After two years of debate and nationwide protest, the bill was voted down by all but one party.

I hate how on Tumblr, a username like lisa486 is almost certainly a pornblot, while someone named solidsnakesasscheeks is almost certainly a real person

Another comment:

"Twelve hours is a long rise that will lead to the bread collapsing and becoming denser unless you put the dough in the fridge, in which case it will make for better flavor. If you don't have room in the fridge, just let it rise an hour or so, it'll be fine. Then punch it down, shape it into a loaf or a braid or whatever you like, and let it rise another half hour or so before you bake it.

Also, 450 for 45 minutes is too hot for too long, in my oven at least. 400 works fine, and check it after 30 minutes - it should be golden brown and the bottom should sound hollow when tapped.

If you want to make bagels, take this bread dough, let it rise, cut it into eight or twelve portions depending on desired size of final bagel. Roll each portion into a ball, stick your finger through it and stretch it into a bagel ring. Then bring to a boil about 2 quarts of boiling water with about a half cup honey, sugar, or malt powder in it. Put the bagels in two or four at a time, depending on size, and boil them one minute on each side. Then put them onto baking sheets, give them an egg wash if you happen to splurge and have an egg handy, then bake them at 400 for 20 minutes or so.

Soft pretzels can be made pretty much the same way except shape them into pretzel shapes, instead of sugar add a half cup of baking soda to the boiling water, and boil only 30 seconds on each side. Top with pretzel salt if you like."

Also, zest those lemons and limes as well. Never toss out an unzested citrus.

“So you are okay for paying more when you have money” I am not excluded from ‘fuck ‘em’ when relevant
