  • I just wanted to make sure you know that food poisoning happens even when all microorganisms are already dead. Some bacterial toxins are resistant to high temperatures and can still cause disease even after their source has been killed. That’s why cooking something that’s been sitting around in warm or room temperature doesn’t make it safe to eat, even though it makes of safer than not cooking it.



  • From my antifascist perspective, an Apartheid state killing children is what is truly absolutely unacceptable. If diverse sectors of that society are not OK with war, Apartheid and murdering civilians, it’s on them to mobilize to stop that, not on the rest of the world to refrain from criticism just because the human rights violations their state actually commits are similar to delusional bigoted tropes about their religion. Also, criticizing the actions of a State, even a religious one, is not hate speech.


  • I thought so as well. Maybe the other side of the protruding sausages were progressively squeezed out by the dough starting from the tip, and it’s probably due to the proximity to other rolls in the back, or maybe the center of the oven was much hotter and ended up cooking (and growing) the dough unevenly. That explains why the tip of the sausages looks popped.



  • I realized why your comment bothered me so much: I am kind of an antinatalist myself, so for me having children is always dooming them in some way, especially nowadays when our civilization is on the brink of collapsing, but I don’t judge these people to be more selfish than the usual. People with Li Fraumeni Syndrome have a 50% chance to pass down the mutation to their offspring, it’s no certainty, and the article is clearly showing current technology can detect cancer earlier so people can act upon it. You are calling these people, who have cancer or mostly certainly will, selfish, when you don’t have the faintest idea of what it means to live in their shoes. If it is selfish or not, that is something for their children to decide, not you. Passing shallow moral judgment on the reproductive decisions of disabled/sick people is very dehumanizing, not to say it’s one of the core elements of eugenics ideology. It’s not hard to see how your standing would enable a more extreme view arguing that people with Li Fraumeni Syndrome should be sterilized.
