    As an American, part of me wants to try to write a comeback to these posts since this isn’t even remotely what I and pretty much everyone I know personally wanted or voted for. But at the same time too many dumbasses in my country apparently did want it and I feel like we deserve to take our lumps. Sigh

      You know, this is one those situations where we make others laugh out some other’s misery. We shield ourselves behind arguments like “they played themselves into it”, etc.

      But I’m the one be laughed at. Me and any one seeing any humour in seeing another human being suffer because nobody took heed of what was to come.

      I sincerely hope you get rid of that dictator as soon as possible and in the most spectacular show of force you can devise. And don’t be afraid to call for help.

          Regardless of imaginary lines drawn on maps, we’re all human and we’re on the same rock, crusing through space.

    American here. A dozen eggs is 7 dollars. And I live in a poor area of the south. Fuck you mom and dad who voted for this. I tried to warn you.

      I’ve gone from a no-politics rule, instituted by me, with my mother, to outright accusing her of responsibility for every terrible thing the orange man does. All of this is by email with links to articles about his shitbaggery. My hostility is apparent and our relationship may not survive. I don’t care; she had the ability to learn who he was and didn’t take it.

      This is really strange to hear. I live in California, and the price is the same here. Everything here is typically a lot more expensive.

      Your neighbours keep their hens inside or are they allowed to roam free?

      Because chickens will gladly trespass, forage around, and casually leave an egg behind.

          Pasteurisation is only necessary when cows/goats are kept in unhygienic conditions or are bred in a factory.

            Yes hygiene is a major reason for it, but not all

            Kurt Vonnegut would’ve known that. My favorite literary character of all time that you’ve co-op’d would, too.

              With pasteurisation you lose not only “bad” bacteria inside the milk. You lose all of them.

              It’s safe to require it when milk is produced industrially and sold packaged in supermarkets, but your neighbour’s milk is likely safe.

              Source: I have lived in an organic farm. Drank unpasteurised milk.

              edit: the idea behind the nick was to honour Kurt. What I write is my own thoughts.

        I don’t think it’s that easy. You’re supposed to do it early, and milk burns and/or evaporates if you don’t do it the right way (I suppose bain-marie in a closed cooker).

      I wish.

      I have a small plot of land and got a few chickens to help clear the weeds. The creatures were lovely and at some point they just started to leave their eggs around. Ko rooster, no potential chicks.

      Then a stupid neighbour took the opportunity to let their hunting dogs into the chicken coop. Killed every single animal.

    Lol, you guys know we have eggs, right? They’re just roughly 60-80% more expensive right now.

    A dozen near me is currently $7, instead of $4.

      That is a basic human right. Let’s at least have a small sliver of respect.

      But Kinder eggs are fair game.
