  • Assuming OOP does infact just microwave poptarts and relies on other ready-mades, I don’t think they have all the necessary equipment for baking.

    I just think it’s a tougher place to start in because while you get exact measurements, there’s more nuance and less room for improvising.

    I tried baking something (pigs in blankets) for the first time after having cooked for years. If you are not fully prepared for every micro-disaster that can strike during dough making, your life will be hell. Cooking pasta only has the prerequisite of knowing how to boil water, and reading the time for how much to boil the noodles.

    You can follow the instructions on bread, quantities and time to bake, and yet there’s still stuff you have to account for and know from experience.


  • Baking is the worst place to start for a beginner, because it reauires more precision in ingredient quantity and technique. There’s little room for error.

    Whereas with cooking a simple dish like pasta or rice, you have more leeway with quantities and cooking times and preparation. And wayy more room for error. You can easily experiment with more/less of ingredients because it won’t affect the overall dish and flavour much.

    Whereas with baking, dough for example is hell. You need an almost astronomical precision unless you want to glue your entire kitchen, or make it too runny, or too floury. Baking also becomes more difficult wihout measurement devices, whereas with cooking trusting something loose like a cup or just eyeballing isn’t catastrophic.

    counterpoints:

    This would only hold up if the person is using male/female and not man/female

    And assuming this still holds up, why not go with male/woman? The type of people to use this shouldn’t be bothered, i mean thry throw the term “alpha male” all the time

    Oh wait, i think the solution is to just use man/woman unless you’re in a very biological discussion

    Sure, sometimes it is discussed whether or not children can transition medically (p.s: it’s why they have to go through an army of doctors and psychologists), but to deny that the debate doesn’t revolve around if someone is happy or religion is ignorant.

    Countless times I have seen people make the argument that transitioning has a high regret rate, countless of times I’ve seen people invoke religion and try to say being trans is a sin (what with the whole bible quote about men not wearing women clothing).

    So when people debate about trans people, 90% of the time it is about someone’s happiness and getting in the way of it.


  • Literally the beginning of the article makes it clear Canada is refering to “certain states” and it’s repeated through the entire article. You just came here to crack a joke in poor taste and didn’t even bother reading the article lol.

    LGBTQ+ citizens are at risk when traveling to the US due to numerous discriminatory laws passed at state level, the Canadian government has warned.

    “Some states have enacted laws and policies that may affect 2SLGBTQI+ persons. Check relevant state and local laws,” the government’s website reads.

    Also as someone from outside the U.S., I’d understand it even if the advising was country-wide and not state specific. But it isn’t.
