I have some weird shit I got from 4chan about 15 years ago. I wonder what they’ll make of that.

What? I live in a traditionally Catholic region and I haven’t heard of anyone getting circumcized, now or in the past.

Also some flat earthers believe Antartica is an icy wall that surrounds Earth and the authorities claim the Earth is a sphere so that people don’t try to find out what’s behind that wall, for reasons known only to said authorities.

You made me burst out laughing.
- Comment on America 1 week ago:
No. She just says “in French” for the 24 hour system, and “in Spanish” for the 12 hour system, since that’s where she noticed the difference in our context.

My wife is from.Colombian and not used to the 24 hour system.

In my city, the overwhelming majority of convenience store owners are Chinese.
I should ask the ones near my house how they started.

Yea. It has always interested me, but I’ve never subscribed as I could only ever watch its documentaries alone, being the only person who understand English well enough in my family.

Also, it’s better to grow native plants than to provide a house. A house without food is useless.

I may not have been paying attention in school. Once adult, I read about it but wondered what it means “when observed”. Couldn’t find anywherw that explained it clearly. Figured it was surely related to a physical process necessary to get signals, but I couldn’t know what exactly. Now, I know.

Yea, gen AI is precisely suited to low-effort endeavours.
- Comment on Anon plays a game 1 month ago:
It’s been a long time I haven’t played One Hour One Life, but when I left it, it was very well possible to get a weapon, maybe a horse and some armor, and devastate a peaceful thriving community.
I loved that game. I only stopped because of the realities of being a full-time working dad.

Does that mean hunters also eat lead?

That’s pretty weird because I do see women’s nipples in US movies and series.

The water is really incredible. Makes me wish to go to the beach, makes me feel good, and makes me thirsty.

Same, never smelled ants.
And I’ve watched ants a lot when I was a kid. I still do sometimes.
I used to even bring pieces of food from the pantry to give to the ants.

Same experience here.
- Comment on Veganuary 2 months ago:
Generally, people who eat animal products several time per say don’t need to supplement with B12. But I remember reading that elders absorb it not as well and can’t rely even on animal products, and may need to supplement.
Yes, fortified nutritoonal yeast is a source too. One should make sure their nutritional yeast is fortified berfore relying on it for B12. If it’s not fortified with B12, it doesn’t contain any.
I use it in pesto in place of cheese and everyone, omnivores included, love it.

Protein: legumes (beans, lentils, peanuts, chickpeas, tofu and other solid soy products)
Calcium: enriched plant milks (convenient) or cruciferous leaves and flowers (healthy) such as collards, kale, or broccoli. Tofu is a good source too.
Iron: eat vitamin-C rich food with your meals, such as bell peppers, lemon/lime juice on your food, or drink orange juice.
B-12: you must supplement, either with gummies, enriched plant milk or processed vegan products (vegan sausages, vegan “turkey” slices, etc.)
A vitamin: carrots, cruciferous leaves and flowers (see calcium), squash, cantaloup. Eat with fatty food for better absorption. Eg. Minestrone soup (kale and olive oil)
Omega-3 : tofu is a good source. Flaxseed oil has enough in a teaspoon – it works well on salads. Some nuts are a good source too.

nutritionfacts.org is great too.

I like it. I like the aesthetic, and I like how it can fit the sound well.

On Bandcamp you can go on your feed page which shows albums based on the genres and artists you follow, and what fans you follow have bought.
- Comment on Metal on the inside, business on the outside 6 months ago:
For me:
Power metal or speed metal to start the day or complete a task really quickly
Death metal or epic heavy metal to push myself through tasks
Black metal to go through the day on a sustainable pace
Death-doom when I’m going through a lot of very small, context-shifting tasks for a long time and it’s driving me crazy
Atmospheric black metal or dungeon synth to focus on a complex problem, and also when I’m on latter part of the day and really tired.
Death-thrash to wake myself up when I’m sleepy.
- Comment on i enjoy high fructose corn syrup too 6 months ago:
The app allows you to take several photos, label those parts (“leaves”, “flower”, etc.), and then you get several results, sorted by correspondence according to the neural network. When you click on a result, you get photos of different parts of the plant, allowing you to compare to your plant and judge if they’re the same.
- Comment on i enjoy high fructose corn syrup too 6 months ago:
There are fairly similar plants, so make sure to do your research. I get similar plants each year in my garden but I know they’re not purslane.
- Comment on i enjoy high fructose corn syrup too 6 months ago:
If you have a garden (I recommend far from the street to avoid pollution), some wild plants will grow in it. It’s good to know which ones you can eat and to be able to distinguish them from poisonnous ones. This way, weeding can become a sort of harvest.
- Comment on Fear not, and enjoy this mere interlude to its fullest! 6 months ago:
I don’t know, that seems very similar to agnostic atheism to me. Is there any situation where you would act differently if you’d consider yourself agnodtic atheist instead of apathetic agnostic?
- Comment on Fear not, and enjoy this mere interlude to its fullest! 6 months ago:
Words like “atheism” or “agnostic” make sense as shorthands for everyday conversations or labelling, but if you want to be rigorous about it, it makes more sense to use 4 categories:
-
Gnostic theist: I know there’s a God, I’ve met Him, I feel it, I have faith, etc.
-
Agnostic theist: I don’t know if there’s a god or not, but I prefer to believe there’s one
-
Agnostic atheist: if we don’t know if there’s a god or not, there’s no reason to believe there’s one. Do you assume there’s an invisible giant teapot orbiting Earth because there’s no proof to the contrary?
-
Gnostic atheist: a god can’t possibly exist, the concept of a god is illogical, etc.
I’m agnostic atheist, but maybe there could a firm reasoning for the gnostic atheist position. I don’t know, I would have to read and think about it more.
