- Comment on What do you do with Nazi memorabilia? 2 weeks ago:
If it’s not of historic significance? Modify it.
Know anyone who does metal work? Ask them to change it to something interesting.
Got a Dremel? Buff away the Nazi bits until it’s smooth metal.
There are lots of different ways to change it!
- Comment on Back in the 1970s when we switched to unleaded gas, what did the vehicles that ran on leaded gas do? 4 weeks ago:
You can buy lead fuel additives to drop in your gas tank.
That’s what people still do, if they have a car that requires leaded gas.
- Comment on I struggle with depression and alexithymia. How do I write with emotion? 5 weeks ago:
That’s a really great way of thinking - “Understand the logic of the emotions, rather than the emotions.”
- Comment on I struggle with depression and alexithymia. How do I write with emotion? 5 weeks ago:
-
I hope you’re getting the help you need to cope long-term.
-
Focus on the tangible, objective details of the memory. And if you don’t have your own “why,” that’s okay! Focus instead on what the facts deem likely.
For example:
“I remember liking the woods. There aren’t really words for how I felt, but I’ll help you see it how I might have seen it: Sunny days shaded by the leaves. Cool, damp nights. The sounds of different birds. The sounds of rustling branches. Twigs and leaves under foot.”
Hopefully you can see what I did there. That’s all a linear statement of facts. You’re literally just writing the things that you, or anyone else, might have experienced while in the woods.
BUT - and here’s the important part - everyone else will form their own emotions around it, based on their own experiences. So the listeners will believe you’re sharing emotions. And it’s okay if you aren’t feeling them.
So just describe things from memory, maybe adding in extra likely details.
Also, if someone questions your word choice, it’s acceptable to say something like, “you and I may process emotions differently. To me, those were the right words.”

- Comment on How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house? 2 months ago:
I remember a few years ago, my feet started bothering me. Then I realized it happened after I moved to a house with hardwood floors.
Sanuk house slippers fixed me right up.
- Comment on if the bird flu started spreading between humans, how long would you need to stay quarantined before it was safe to come out?? 2 months ago:
True, that’s two pandemics when people refused to wear masks and quarantine. Makes for much better data to include that. Thanks!
- Comment on Do birds find it unpleasant to be out in the rain? 2 months ago:
Probably depends on the bird.
Many birds live all year round in cold, rainy environments. Their bodies developed to be able to handle it, so either they are kept warm by their feathers or they shelter in warm places.
Other birds, such as toucans, are native to tropical environments and would probably be very unhappy in the cold.

Hey, Fat Tony! You of all people should know Geno had it comin’.

She still owes me $10, the jerk.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
I agree with all of that, except for the part about people being focused on trying to stop the next one.
If anyone was actually serious about that, we wouldn’t average more than one per day across the U.S.
- Comment on Why can animals eat grass that they have pooped on, but humans would get sick? 3 months ago:
Yes, this exactly.
They finish off one field, do their business, then they… moooove on.
(Sorry.)
- Comment on Why are so many countries in the world “developing” and poor, while essentially only Western countries have a high standard of living? 5 months ago:
The “Western” countries pillaged the rest of the world for centuries.
- Comment on What's up with Epic Games? 5 months ago:
I don’t like when huge, rich corporations pretend that they are an underdog.
On top of that, I don’t like when a platform bribes developers to limit their game to one platform.

I like them.
- Comment on Can you take the lint from your dryer and make clothing? 8 months ago:
I remember reading about someone who tried that once. He wasn’t able to spend thread from the lint.
If I remember correctly, the fibers were too short and frayed to form into threads.
