Some recipes depend on the dough being mixed just until the ingredients are combined, and not any longer. Other commenters are saying that overmixing cookies can warm the butter too much. With some recipes, like muffins, mixing creates gluten chains that lead to chewey-ness and toughness. So in order to avoid that you stop mixing asap.

Baking is a chemical reaction and the quantities, order, and methods really do have a huge impact on the result!

What makes you think people are fine with it? ISPs have monopolies over service areas and can do whatever the fuck they want. They have monopolies because of corporate lobbying. No amount of voting gets these corrupt fucks out of office bc votes literally do not matter and there’s only two parties, they’re both to the right of center, and they’re both bought and sold. Just to really make sure, we’re all taught from birth that the US is peak civilization and all other countries are backwater shitholes.

Where did the siren sound come from? Are they making paramedics work double duty as dispatchers now?

Oppressed minorities are not required to be on their very best behavior in order to avoid being oppressed further. 🙄

The guy could be a serial killer and the dad would still be wrong for saying that.

That’s only a legal principle - he’s not in jail, is he? Individuals and organizations can do whatever they want. It has nothing to do with modern society.

I’ve only needed local anesthesia so far, but they also do general anesthesia there.

I fully believe the dental profession attracts a lot of sadists and freaks. Truly, I have had some horiffic experiences.

I think the previous generations were conditioned to accept it, because the technology and techniques were much more uncomfortable. My parents are impressed as long as the dentist isn’t intentionally injuring them, lol.

The best thing I did was switch to a practice for people with dental phobia, and they literally don’t do anything special except be very gentle, and make sure you’re well anesthesized, and communicate everything, and check in with you frequently, and give plenty of breaks. Like every dentist should do.

People should feel free to be picky about what kind of dentist they see! You can actually have comfortable dental procedures these days!
