If only 5% of all bread in North America looked that good I would love it here. But nope, everyone loves soggy toast bread instead

FOOLS

The scarce availability of dark bread in most parts of the world is genuinely in my top 5 reasons as to why central Europe has the highest quality of living in the world. That being said I want to try dark bread in northern Europe. I've tried it in Poland, the Czech Republic and in Hungary and it was delicious.

Can you imagine that Korean bread, no matter what variety, always has huge amounts of sugar in it? There I was, minding my own business, crunching down on a baguette, and it tasted like a goddamn pastry. Even the toast is sweet. Luckily they have unsweetened flour so I just made this every day.

I actually never buy dark bread, I prefer lighter in tone crusty rye (or sourdough) bread where only the crust is darker. Which makes it harder to find good bread around these parts

My favorite bread is communion wafers. If you suck on em long enough they transubstantiate in your mouth into delicious jesus flesh.

Why not both?

Well, in practice, I'd say it's both or neither: the more accountable the government, the better it governs, because the more direct and immediate the consequences for governing badly. The less accountable the government, the less well it governs, for the same reasons.

But humans, as a species, tend to get hung on a hypothetical opposition between mob rule and enlightened despotism, because we get caught up believing that a "good" government would do X, Y and Z, and that the best government would be freed to do X, Y and Z without interference- which is to say, without accountability.

Point being, when we talk about being governed by a computer, we're rarely imagining an opt-in system.

What is this pizza only made with dough, sauce, cheese, pepperoni, and bacon??

That's my favorite pizza toppings!
