While I don't much like doxies they are a testament to the dog - human bond. They were developed to go down badger holes and kill badgers in their den. So, fierce, determined, nasty and scrappy. Nothing there about getting along with their handlers. But as pets they are loyal, affectionate, protective. Amazing.

do you have a brisket recipe you would like to share with the class? (lamb chops are gross and no one should talk about them)

Firstly, let me cook you lamb chops before you judge them.
Niflheim wouldn't like how I do lamb chops. You have to like lamb to eat lamb chops that rare.

This is a better recipe, no opinions just facts. Not brisket, it uses lamb, leg preferably but any kind of lamb meat will work.

Best to use lamb legs for this, half or whole works well. I use one half leg per person as a portion guide, or one whole leg for the hungry ones.
You are not using American lamb. Where do you get lamb legs that small? I want to shop there.

Oven slow-cooked lamb recipe
------------------------------

Best to use lamb legs for this, half or whole works well. I use one half leg per person as a portion guide, or one whole leg for the hungry ones.


* Pre-heat oven to 160C/320F.
* Wash lamb in running water, paper towel dry.
* Season with liberal use of salt and fresh ground pepper. If you have dry mint leaves, place a couple mint leaves with the meat. If you have cognac lying around, pour a bottle cap's worth of cognac on the meat.
* Wrap the individual lamb pieces with non-stick aluminum foil two times, meaning use two sheets of foil per piece.
* With a fork, poke holes on the top of the foil packets.
* Place wrapped pieces of meat on an oven pan, place in middle of oven.
* Leave to cook for 4-4.5 hours. Do not open the oven before 4hrs.
* After 4-4.5hrs, cut/open foil packets and remove meat, check to make sure no foil is stuck to the meat.


You'll thank me later.

Can also wrap whole potatoes in foil in the same way (don't make holes on the 'tatoes though) and put them in the oven next to the meat.
Final straw~! i made a IRL cooking thread

no one owes you anything because of your identity.

I don't want to argue with you because you're in a position of power, meaning it's an incredibly unfavorable position for me to even attempt. You have an unfair advatange in the form of leverage.

The fact that you think they're entitled for wanting to be respected and regarded with decency in public zones is psychotic.

But because of your own logic I will bite your bait. You don't deserve my respect as the mod when you liken someone's private health condition to a religious belief.

Asura.Vyre said: »
If you're looking to be a moral busybody/impose your beliefs, go elsewhere.

This signifies what I'm talking about. Trans identites have become so politicized that you think being trans is a belief like a religion or a cult rather that an person's private health condition because you don't believe they have a right to something as basic as privacy or respect. I'm not telling you to change because I don't believe that you can. I'm just opening some eyes.

One side cannot simply agree to disagree. They cannot tolerate trans people and openly express their vehement hatred for them without repurcussion. That's what a lack of decorum means.

It's not about being a social justice warrior. I don't expect to be able to change you anymore than you should expect to change a trans person. Identity is immutable. Not sex. Meaning if they're a bratty shitty kid, then they're going to be a bratty shitty adult. You want a definition of a woman? An adult human phenotype correlating to androgenic exposure, reception, and utilization. It's not XY chromosome or XX. Why? Well, why is it God the Father? Why is the holy trinity the Father the son and the holy spirit? Why is the lord's prayer the Our Father? If god was incepted before creation then he wouldn't have chromosomes as he was founded outside the realm of reality. God was considered genderless. It was Christians that decided God was Him. Evolution from Darwin is more accurate than creationism as it accounts for genetic mutation that could contribute to things like people being trans just as it accounts for something like a child having a cleft pallet or type 1 diabetes. That isn't to say that humans can't impact themselves either as they can give themselves type 2 diabetes from poor diet just as they can give themselves lung cancer from smoking. We teach evolution in school because it's respresentative of the realities of the world as opposed to creationism. The people that proclaim basic biology dictates a woman is simply an adult human female is a gross misrepresentation of the realities of evolution as it infantilizes nuance for the sake of palatability.

Obviously the argument can then be made that what you put into your body impacts it. Right? So one side of the aisle thinks transgenderism is ideology akin to a religious cult and believes that they're indoctrinating young people because they are ignorant to the history of trans civil and legal rights. Willfully ignorant. Willfully because they don't think trans people should have them. Willfull because people like yourself liken transgenderism to a religion rather than a health condition and in a secular society you aren't allowed to enforce your religion on other people. That's why it was only ever about tolerance and the main stream push for transgender visibility lost the plot by trying for acceptance. Some people will never be able to accept a trans person's identity. Never. The same as some people will never be able to accept gay people. Phobia's are't simply fears. That's an explain it like I'm five level of simplification. A phobia is an irrationally held belief that isn't founded in rational reality. As an example: arachnephobia. The fear of spiders? It's a bit more nuanced than that. Unless you live in Australia, your average house spider cannot kill you. Sure getting bit by one might suck, but you really have to agitate the ***out of it to get bitten. The people that panic simply lack control over their emotions. You can have arachnephobia and not freak out upon seeing a spider. It's a matter of control. Some people'll just kill the spider. Crisis adverted. They can't resolve their phobia of trans people in the same way that they can squash a bug. That's why we're seeing things become more heated socially with regards to the issue.

One side sees anything to do with trans as the woke liberal mind virus because they can't understand where these people get these ideas from. I can go into the history, but again. No political discussion, right? Well, if trans identities are political, then talking about them should be off the table as well.

It's not illegal to make fun of a person in a wheel chair, but you're an *** if you do so. If you think of a trans person like a person in a wheel chair then it makes more sense. Sure, a trans person might need specific accomodations just like a person in a wheel chair might. The Americans with Disabilities Act entitles them to accomodations (in America). I'm not saying you're not allowed to make fun trans people. You can, but if they punch back then it's your own fault. That's not saying all trans people are good people or angels or whatever because there's always bad apples in every group.

It's not my responsibility to educate you on trans people extensively just as it isn't my job to moderate the forum. You're entitled to your beliefs up until voiding the social contracts of others.

I primarily lurk the board as site traffic would tell you how frequently I visit without posting.

I can't stop them from ***talking trans people. I can report harassment to appropriate authorities and continue accordingly. If they want to sit on their discord server and rag on me all day, I do not care. I do not expect to ever be able to change that. When we're in public zones, mind you p's and q's.

If you want to be heralded as a neutral arbiter, don't chime in with your two cents that exposes your own underlying biases. I didn't ask the peanut gallery for commentary. Don't jade me.

"No politics" is the rule of thumb for RT. There can be exceptions, but in general that rule is there because people can't be civilized about it, which is why P+R got shut down in the first place.

No one is getting popped for what's already been said, but that's the end of it. There's a hundred social media sites for arguing about politics, and this isn't one of them.

My Sister was in a car accident just after my kid was born, she injured her shoulder, got lots of MRIs and they couldn't figure out what was wrong.

She, like the total klutz that she is, slipped getting out of bed one morning slammed her shoulder into the wall heard a loud pop and 90% of the pain went away. so idk the doctors were to busy looking around to notice it wasnt in the socket properly? any way point is that took her 2 years of not being able to hold my kid or her camera before she "fixed" it herself XD, so glad to hear yours has been a bit more smooth recovery

How one of my native traits can be related to politics?

Of course it makes sense. Politics is about separating factions. And factions can be formed by native traits. In fact, political factions are VERY often formed by native traits in life.

Light-aligned is an alignment, which makes you part of a faction.

You see me as evil, a different faction.

That's politics. Different factions.

In fantasy novels like LoTR, Light-aligned characters often team up and fight evil together and start a war. If this isn't politics, then idk what is!

Gotta side with Panta on this one
One only breaks the rules by engaging in politics. Native political alignments are not grounds for disciplinary action!

Just like how an antisocial person isn't a criminal just for existing, they're only treated as one if they break the law :)

Otherwise we'll have a Minority Report/Psycho Pass situation!

that's crazy, it was instantly obvious when I tried to get up that something was majorly wrong, I can't imagine going 2 years with it out of socket. I could move my fingers and hand fine, but any upper arm movement was out of the question. when the doc pulled it back in place it was very similar, most of the pain went away immediately. like I said, I consider myself very lucky. as with all things in life, it could always be much worse.

But he did engaged by posting Jesus with dino and condemn evil actions with it, effectively fighting the evil as a Light-aligned.

He also preached his Light-alignment by saying there should be more Light-aligned people like him. That's like trying to tell who to vote in the next election!

Let's face it, it's hard to avoid the influence of politics!

I think people give Panta's actions a pass because most of the people are probably Light-aligned or at least agree that being good should be encouraged. Us evil aligned villains are in the minority and people don't like us, so people ignored our human right and allowed lighted aligned do their things the way they want. UNFAIR! ;<

I need to find ways to grow my evil armies so we are not actively being oppressed by Light-aligned. The Force is not balanced.
