I rarely complain about voting, but it annoys the fuck out of me that this question is in the negative. It’s actually a damn good question, if poorly phrased.

But it’s true. Inbreeding takes generations to cause significant troubles if there’s no really nasty genetic diseases present already.

Even siblings aren’t going to crank out two headed monsters if they’re the first in the family to keep it in the family. And, once you’re past first cousins, the risks get even lower. Not non existent, just not anything to worry about in the first generation. Again, that’s unless there’s a known issue.

They do!

But it’s rare for multiple reasons.

First, both the listener and the speaker have to know the word, because otherwise there’s no reason to compliment it

Second, the listener (or reader, but I’m too lazy to type both every damn time) has to care about word usage, and it’s kinda niche.

Third, there’s a significant degree of anti-intellectual belief out in the world, so that segment is going to have the opposite response, and they’re prone to being obnoxious about it.

Fourth, giving compliments is not something everyone is good at, so there’s a segment that might appreciate it, but not know how to express it.

Fifth, a corollary to the fourth, it can feel awkward to give compliments, so it gets shoved avoided, which is partly due to sixth:

Sixth, as a culture, complimenting someone is a complicated social action. There’s all kinds of little unspoken rules around it, and that makes a lot of people just nope out entirely.

But if you hang around people that enjoy word play and vocabulary, you’ll see a lot more compliments :)

This is targeted harassment at me, and I will not accept it

Ahhhh, gotcha.

Yeah, they tend to have less connection because of all the process of going from hatchery to store, and the lack of interaction before they get bought. They’d be fine layers, but less fine friends.

And breed factors in too. The ones usually out for sale in a store will be bred for laying or meat, and that means no attention to more than bare docility. Some breeds though, they’re known for being friendly rather than just calm. We have a marans that prefers human company to other birds most of the time. Since she was also hand raised before we got her, I’m not too surprised she tends to amaze people with how friendly and loving she is.

I think if you get more, find a local breeder and you’ll have way better luck

Popular? For a given value of popular, absolutely.

You’re a high volume poster with a very distinct writing voice. Doesn’t take long to start recognizing the pattern, which will inevitably mean the user name is recognizable as well.

Me? I tend to really enjoy your nostupidquestions posts, even when I have no idea what in the fuck you’re asking. See, a community like this needs members that will essentially post whatever the fuck is on their mind with little or no filter. On reddit, there were subs where one or two folks like that made them worth dividing visiting because it opens the gate.

Even when you ask something that’s off the wall and barely intelligible, it spurs reaction, thought. Even when that thought/reaction is negative, it makes people think about what they wish would be posted.

And, on top of the gate opening, people that ask whatever the hell is in their head tend to ask things nobody else would. You have no idea how many times you’ve asked some off the wall shit that made me really think because I would have never approached the subject in that way. There was a guy on reddit in one of the niche subs that was the same way, and I always took extra time to consider his asks because it often led to me thinking something new, even if I couldn’t give a useful response.

Though, being real, sometimes I have no clue what in the hell you’re getting at lol.

You’re screaming against the wind of hundreds of years of language usage.

Besides, in English, if you’re referring to both continents, you say the americas, and use north or south if specifying one or the other

So, no, Mexico isn’t in America, it’s in North America by conventional English usage. Or it’s in the Americas, if you want to be all inclusive.

Those terms wouldn’t necessarily apply directly in Spanish, French, or Portuguese, and many countries in the Americas use terms in those languages to differentiate between the United States of America and the continents. Los estados unitas, el norte, etc. Depends on exactly where you are as to what gets used afaik, but my exposure is mostly to Mexicans, Nicaraguans, Puerto Ricans, and the occasional Guatemalan, and those two terms are what I’ve heard most.

But in English? America is the default when referring to the us, since it’s cumbersome to use “the united states” in both speech and print. America just takes less time, and it’s so common that anywhere you go in the world, if you say America while in context of a single place, they’ll understand what you mean.

All three of those have songs.

Ducks can do this strange little warble when in their own groups. Geese sing hymns to satan. Swans I haven’t been around enough of to have heard their sweeter sounds, but I’ve been told they exist.

But chickens? They sing. Even roosters, but hens in particular have multiple songs. Trills mostly, and the one you hear most is when they’re sleepy and letting each other know all is well. They can do this little purr when they’re feeling all lovey or wanting treats. They even chirp when surprised.

The bawks aren’t even singular. Depending on what they’re doing and what’s going on, it can be quiet like buks, loud and annoyed baaawks, friendly tuk-tuks when food is around, trouble boks when they’re after something and trying to be all stealth but can’t just not make sounds, outright squawks when complaining about something. They have a rich range of vocalizations. Maybe not as complex as something like a parrot or raven, but I’d say more complex than the budgies I’ve been around.

That’s not even getting into other sounds they make as a side effect of other communication efforts. Beak clicks, clacks, and snaps. Wing beats and feather ruffles.

Roosters gobble! Very similar to the classic turkey sound, though not identical enough that you’d mistake one for the other. They also make loud whistles, hisses (which hens can do, but rarely get scrappy enough to fight, so it’s rare), and screams.

But roosters also sing their version of trills and purrs.

Thing is, unless you really chill with your chickens, you won’t hear most of them. Day to day, they’re out hunting and pecking and buk-bukking, with the occasional bawk bawk when they find something interesting. But if you’re with them for a while, you’ll catch the others.

Yeah! I caught that episode, but didn’t connect it until you brought it up. Dang, that makes me more confident this concoction would be really good

This is one of those things where I suspect the vegan version may end up better than the dairy version.

It’ll exchange some of the dairy touch for that extra umami, and if the texture is even remotely close, it should be more consistent than milk curds. Not that variation in texture is a bad thing, but poutine has that a delightful squeaky spring that’s a hallmark, and not every curd has it.

Not that I’m a huge poutine guy; I like it, but I didn’t grow up with it, so it’s just one of those interesting things to enjoy now and then. But it’s kinda difficult to get decent curds here locally, so being able to do a tofu based one on those rare occasions would be super.

Yeah, he’s got that magic voice and laid back vibe. It’s a very rare critter that can’t enjoy it

Nah, the curds are as defining as the gravy

My dogs never watched. But both of them enjoyed Bob Ross a good bit, and were chill with music videos.

Yeah, I gotta go w with cranberries.

For chickens to bond, you gotta start really young. If someone else is hatching them nd you get them later, they have to put the time into socializing and helping the birds recognize humans as part of their “flock”.

An older chicken that hasn’t had the time put in will never really bond. They’ll get used to you, be nice even, but they won’t see you as part of their in group.

Oh, for Pete’s sake!

A great selection for sure, but they pretty much all have the same placement of things like enter and backspace, which heavily influences where the letters lie on the screen, and thus your swipe paths.

Broforce is ana absurd and delightful train wreck :)

Ngl, that seems like it would be great.

Lemon and cream cheese go well together, as to strawberries and cream cheese, and lemons and strawberries. With the cream cheese being cut a good bit by the other ingredients, it wouldn’t overwhelm the fruits.

Mouth feel could be a little strange with the cottage cheese in there, but it could also be unnoticeable, depending on how it all sets.

Not gonna try it any time soon, but if I was visiting someone and they offered it, I’d be eager to try it
