Anti-LGBTQ+ hate crimes reach record-highs in Los Angeles
In one of the friendliest cities for LGBTQ+ people, hate crimes based on gender identity reached a "record-high" last year.Ryan Adamczeski (Advocate.com)
I was curious about what the definition of bread even is, as in what are the requirements to call it bread. It sounds like the only absolute requirements are some combination of flour and water in some sort of mixture. I thought there would be a more involved definition.
Among the many painful subjects broached in the videogame Night in the Woods (#NITW) is the business of #college not being the "real world". The way it's popularly conceived, and the experience that a lot of college graduates still have (especially if they're the lucky ones) is that college life is...sealed off from the world, in a sense. It's a bubble Universe, its own thing. If you're right-wing and you hate #education generally, you might call this atmosphere "elitist".
~Chara
I myself don't think that this problem is unique to #college. A #corporation easily becomes a sealed-off private Universe, out of joint with broader reality. Many institutions are prone to become insular. But the college experience is designed to be more complete than that. The college becomes Home for you, for a period of years. That's not a small thing.
If you decide that you're going to live for a few years in houses or dormitories maintained by the college or university, you're placing the college leadership in loco parentis, whether or not you're aware of the shift.
~Chara
Now...correct me if I'm wrong here, but increasingly in #technology there's a move towards turning the high-tech startup or entrepreneur's venture into something similarly complete, a microcosm where the workers, I mean the employees, I mean the associates are expected not just to work but to live.
Imagine #SpaceX as your home rather than a dodgy military-industrial firm with a line in cheap rockets for putting up satellites. Imagine thinking that corporation wasn't just where you worked, but the place that contained the totality of your life: where you slept, where you dined, where you entertained yourself, whatever.

That seems to be an ideal, and therefore colleges and universities are now just competition for the attainment of that ideal. From the perspective of the ambitious and grasping parent, respectable #academia had their chance.
These high-status parents want someone to take their kids off their hands, at every stage of their maturation if possible. If "higher education" isn't doing the job right, then it's time to give the wizards of #technology a chance!

The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.
The Laurel, in its two varieties, large and small, is much used for spoons and combs, on account of its close grain, as also in medicine, but is never burned, as it is believed that this would bring on cold weather and would furthermore destroy the medicinal virtues of the whole species.

in reply to Jeremy Mallin • • •From an "Ask Culinary" post on reddit 13 years ago:
> The type of flour that is used and how they are put together.
> Bread - you typically use a type of flour with high gluten content and mix/knead the dough very thoroughly in order to establish long, tough gluten strands so that your bread is nice and chewy. Also, eggs are typically not required for your basic breads.
> Cake - you typically use a type of flour with low gluten content so that the cake *doesn't* get super chewy. You also use eggs and typically a lot more butter to provide the right sort of mouth feel.
So apparently it's more to do with gluten and fat and therefore texture than with sugar and therefore sweetness. Bread is made from dough, cake is made from batter. And apparently there are less sweet cakes and more sweet breads, too.
