    You know, while there are places you don’t want to get lost in if you’re white, they aren’t as common as the racists make it out to be. Now, I’ve worked in a couple of those neighborhoods, but even then once the folks literally coming out of bushes knew I was there to provide care to someone, that was the end of it.

    Being real, my cracker ass grew up in a black neighborhood. You know how many times I got jumped by black folks? Zero. Wanna guess how many times I did by white folks? Well, only three, twice by the same assholes, but that’s still telling, aint it?

    My personal experience? Only time you’ll run into trouble for being a cracker is if its a heavy drug area and you ain’t buying. But those folks will be just as harsh to anyone, so I dunno if that counts or not.

    I disagree, and my rooster is an asshole.

    They serve multiple purposes, and can be good company.

    My rooster? Saved the hens multiple times. Literally broke a spur off in a dog’s ass. A pit bull at that. Ran that bitch off, and that’s after losing said spur, handfuls of feathers, and dripping blood of his own.

    Before that series of attacks by the dog, he was chill as fuck. He’d just follow me around, picking things up and putting them down so everyone would know it was there. Sometimes, he’d be in the mood and jump up to be held. He’d come inside sometimes and just sit on my kid’s lap getting petted.

    It’s why, despite him having gone full asshole after we lost hens, I still want him around. I’m hoping my current program will get him back to his old self. But even if he doesn’t, I want him.

    Every now and then, that old self peeks through, and we have little moments of mutual respect and affection, and it’s awesome.

    He’s not the loving companion my hen is, that’s not how roosters roll usually. But he was my buddy, and I hope we will be again.

    Depending on the thing you’re baking, that can work.

    Like, bread? While you need to weigh things if you want consistency between batches, as in reliable, predictable results; you throw yeast into wet flour, it’ll rise and you can bake it. So going by feel totally works as well.

    Where you can’t get away with it automatically is chemically leavened things. You gotta have a minimum proportion of whatever you’re using (baking soda or whatever) to flour, and if you go too high it’ll mess things up as well. But even there, you don’t have to weigh things, you can go by volume. It just comes with the caveat that your cake may be different enough to notice each time.

    Or, with cookies, how shifting proportions of one ingredient changes how they spread, whether they’re crispy or chewy.

    It’s all about precision, not getting something edible
