  im lost as to how you consider it slavery when it’s supposed to be a consensual and mutual legal agreement of partnership. keep in mind that in most cases, either party can exit the legal partnership whenever they want through the process of divorce.

  if either side does not want the marriage, then sure. but having a dedication to a loved one hardly constitutes “slavery”.

  So you’re saying that addicts fall back into addictions more easily than the general populace does?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do Americans measure everything in cups?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I do jot down the volume measurements that I use any time I bake (approximate, never exact, since I adjust little by little based on how sticky my cookie dough or how wet my pizza dough feels), and using that gives me consistent results already.

  There’s not enough variation in the ways I scoop my flour or salt or baking powder or sugar that would net me results that are noticeably different to my previous batches.

  I just find this method more fun. Perhaps people prefer to skip the step of cooking by feel and adjusting their flour amount based on how wet their dough is, etc., and just prefer to follow exact steps to get to an end result; I myself find the challenge fulfilling.

  You’re just putting words in my mouth at this point. I’m saying that being anal about precisely measuring my food sounds like a miserable time, nothing about scales or justifications for “how I do things” (which is how everybody here, where I am, does things).

  And while I applaud you for trying to be health-conscious and count your calories, I simply just do not care about doing so for myself. You do you, but so not preach it to me, for I have no need for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do Americans measure everything in cups?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m gonna be honest, being anal about exactly how much chicken I eat sounds like a miserable time.

  Sure, track salt intake and carbs as portions for those are more easily controlled without leaving awkward amounts of food trimmed off, but chicken?

  Like you demonstrated, just halve the pieces, in which case weighing the chicken is pointless as it’s already roughly where you want it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur's Gate 3 actors reveal the darker side of success fuelled by AI voice cloning⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel there needs to be more nuance to how this AI is used.

  For commercial settings (like streaming), permission from the voice actors must be given first, or at the very bare minimum monetarily compensated at their full rates for the amount of time those voice lines are used.

  However, if I want to mod Baldur’s Gate 3 for fun and add a new companion into the game without any expectation of profit, as long as my usage of the voice lines don’t stray from the established style of the game, I should be allowed to use AI to create those voice lines until I secure funding (either through donations or Patreon) to actually hire the voice actors themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do Americans measure everything in cups?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t see the point of consistent results outside of a commercial setting, but that is an entirely subjective view. I personally find more enjoyment in testing and tweaking and changing things up, even in baking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do Americans measure everything in cups?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Entirely agree! I go entirely by feel most of the time and only use cup/spoon measurements as a first step when I’m making batters or cookie or pizza doughs before adjusting based on how the dough is incorporating. At that point it’s less of a measurement tool and more of a scooping tool to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do Americans measure everything in cups?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Chicken breast is generally measured in “pieces”.

  If you’re measuring a whole chicken breast by weight, what are you going to do if a piece exceeds the weight called for in the recipe? Are you just going to cut off the excess bits? And where would those excess bits go? The bin? The freezer, perhaps, but which recipe would call for “just a sliver of chicken”? Would you rather not just keep that excess weight in and have a bit more chicken in your meal just to avoid all the fuss?

  I wouldn’t measure chicken at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do Americans measure everything in cups?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Unless you’re baking cakes from scratch for fun or trying to make aesthetically perfect macarons, I just don’t really see a reason to use a scale.

  With cup measurements, it’s scoop, level, dump. I hate having to fuss around with getting perfect measurements of ingredients; it’s the second-most boring part of cooking.

  I really subscribe to Adam Ragusea’s methodology of “cooking by feel”, and just so happens it aligns with how my own culture treats cooking as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's discuss: Tetris⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Tetris Effect and TETR.IO are unironically the best versions of Tetris out right now.

  Tetris Effect not only has amazing visuals, it brought a brand new mechanic (Zone) into the formula that made multiplayer matches suspenseful and exciting to watch again.

  TETR.IO is not an officially licensed Tetris game, so legally it’s just a block-stacking game. Still, it currently boasts the best multiplayer system out right now, with a consistently high player count to boot.

  That sounds like an underlying mental issue. I highly recommend seeking a therapist!
