Huh. That's a hell of a lot faster than what most would expect.
A family friend worked down there. 9 months on, 3 off. He met his wife there.

It's reasonable to not know whether Putin had Navalny murdered.
Saw a story about this in the Houston area not long ago. The squatter noticed a home was empty, and so they moved in, changed the locks, brought furniture, and claimed to be the owners. It was surprisingly difficult for the real owner to prove they were trespassing. It's one of those situations where civilization rests to a large degree on agreement to act sanely.

The ol' "back and froth" between me and jon-nyc. That's what she said.

I think in the real world the numbers are small and even then your typical social interaction wouldn’t reveal enough to trigger any negative reaction.
The checkout line or any customer/vendor interaction is as small as one wants to make it. I'm more talking about situations a step up from that. Dinners or parties or walking groups or workplace or family interactions. I guess you can claim that such interactions aren't precarious as they edge into politics or social issues, I mean you can write that if you want.
Didn't anybody ever tell you not to talk about religion and politics at parties?
I've had business meals where people started going off about politics. One guy I was meeting just before the 2016 election said Hillary was a communist, and I'm ashamed to say I LOL'd. I was definitely in the minority at that particular meeting as my boss is a Trump sympathiser, however he clearly saw the funny side. The other guy, not so much, but he'd already made me sit through grace before dinner, so I figured enough was enough.
It's not me that ever brings it up.

Here's one of my own. So far I've tried this with pancakes, french toast, ebelskivers, indian curries, cookies, mac & cheese and muffins. Worked right out of the gate on everything but the muffins and cookies, but with some adjustments to the amount it now works great for those, too:
Use kefir instead of milk.
2."I add frozen berries directly into my hot oatmeal to defrost the berries while simultaneously cooling the oatmeal to the perfect, edible temperature."
How is this a hack? It's just common sense.
No wonder they are so angry.

Around here random social interactions aren’t remotely precarious unless you wander into the south Bronx.
If it will help to interpret my point charitably, you might concede the political polarization of our culture and the huge numbers of people who will full stop not share space with those who are on the opposite side of the issues they find to be of extreme moral or existential importance.
