Nah, a lot of us around the world just use The Four Ingredients, and prefer bread that is simpler yet tastier. Your numbers might be very regional.

You are a hominid. We are a troupe species. We are susceptible to social manipulation which can overwhelm our reasoning, because we survived based on trust.

Some of us have overstimulated amygdalas because of biology and various kinds of anxiety. This enhances the vulnerability to manipulation by another minority, the sociopaths.

For the species to continue to survive, we must keep the sociopaths from manipulating and the amygdaloids from falling into cults.

If you accept it, this is your mission.

Hm, I guess an encyclopedia article is more relevant than a dictionary definition, so sure. I was using the looser secondary definition... in this case an elision that references a dialect in order to call up regional relevance to the opinion expressed.

I dunno, cf. 1.b definition of idiom in the OED: dialect usage, and 2.a is dialect usage for effect. Maybe the definition is changing with the ages, or your usage is overly strict.

Well we can argue over the niceties of the word idiom, but as it's referring to the way the word is pronounced in specific regions of North America, it qualifies as meeting one of the definitions of idiom.

~~Elision refers more to the absence of an understood word, such as saying 'my bad'.~~

My bad, elision can also refer to slurring syllables together, so it's both.

In the English language, specifically North American dialects, this is a form of idiom.

It’s David Fucking Suzuki. He’s a bit of a turd in some parts of his personal life but on the environment he’s completely dedicated, and generally Not Wrong about science.

Yes, we call that "structural racism".

That's... a very russian attitude!

Yeah way to advertise that you're a mouth-breather, right?

Slept in. Talked about layers of post colonial identity over coffee. Worked on our resilience garden. Now working on all the little dishes for a mezze table for and cleaning up the BBQ.

Patriotism sucks and it’s particularly bad right now because it’s nose-holdingly necessary.

Happy not-fukan-amurrican day.

Going to add a few Iranian dishes to the menu in that spirit.

Can confirm, I live out in the countryside with only coax available, and a measly 1Gbit down 150Mbit up and 9 - 11ms ping. No caps.

Wait, that’s awesome and steady and reliable. Expensive sure but with heavy multiperson usage and no noticeable issues, I am wondering WTF you’re on about unless it’s some weird edge case?

Maybe you are referring to predatory business practices like oversubscribed lines? That’s not a technical problem.
