Appeasement has a slightly different interpretation among conservatives than it does among liberals. Both groups understand appeasement to be giving something as a gift or a concession to a competing power, in order to keep the opposing power satisfied.

Where conservatives and liberals differ is not in how they define appeasement, but in what they think a concession is. To conservatives, talking to the enemy is a concession. Why this is the case requires understanding their moral heirarchy.

This is a diary about toilet paper shortages in the United States. That's right, bare shelves, devoid of any material for wiping. Sounds horrible? It sure would be. As we've all read, major news outlets are reporting that Costco and Sam's Club are rationing rice. Is there a major toilet paper shortage on the way as well?

Making yogurt is easy and inexpensive. I've been doing it for years, and you can too. I started making my own yogurt after watching my mother in law strain home made yogurt in cheesecloth with cucumber and garlic to make tzatziki. She made it in the traditional Greek style which was taught to her by her mothers before her. She never used a recipe, and never needed to measure anything. I've made my own changes to the process because I like to tinker. Making your own yogurt at home is easy, inexpensive, quick, and most importantly fun. There's no reason to purchase all our yogurt from the grocery store. Let's reclaim this traditional food as our own, and make it at home.
