- Comment on Introverts of our era spend their time on their computers, but what did introverts do before? Like when literacy rates were lower (pre-1950s)? Or before the printing press? 5 days ago:
Humans are social mammals. In many important respects, it makes no sense to even think of us as individuals.
I suspect that in the past people with higher levels of social anxiety probably just spoke a little less than average, and noticably less on the much less frequent times they met strangers.
But i think it's its probably very inaccurate to imagine anyone who we'd recognize as an "introvert" in the much more collectivist cultures that dominate history.

Yes, fart with pride! Always compliment public farts.
- Comment on You never missed anything important 5 days ago:
We're social mammals and we will always spend large amounts of time engaging in social behaviour.
It maintains relationships, strengthens bonds, makes it easier to obtain aid, helps reinforce our positions within our identity groups, etc. etc.
Even when the words being shared are complete nonsense, conversing is never nonsense.

It's the I-don't-care-who-started-it injustice.
Often people in authority will see injustice and respond as if the real problem was that everyone else disturbed them, failing to even attempt to actually understand the situation first.
This is because power has been shown to cause changes in the brain that make you less capable of empathy.

It is an objective truth of our reality, not subject to opinion or reasonable discussion, that peanuts are subpar on average and average at best.

The peanut mania that grips this nation and blinds people to objective fact has you in it's tentacular grasp.
- Comment on Discuss 1 week ago:
This is so undeniably, objectively true.
Peanuts end up in everything because they're very cheap, not because they're that good.
Peanut butter is ... fine. That's all you can honestly say. PB&J is edible at it's best, and then only rarely. Reese's is a testament to how easy it is to sell coagulated sugar and salt. Bougie peanut butter cups are just polished turds.
Thai is the only cuisine that knows what to do with peanuts.

Imagine trying to restart agriculture and all you find are some weird preservative-laden disks that are somehow oddly bitter and sickly sweet at the same time.

BLM ... Meaning still unclear
During a really bad wildfire season here in OR a few years back there was a story going round that police reported Black Lives Matter activists had set up check points in rural, fire-stricken areas to harass and intimidate honest, trump-loving oregonians or maybe even because they were the ones starting the fires.
This misinfo came from people listening to police radio frequencies, but not understanding that BLM meant Bureau of Land Management.

- Comment on Halloween is coming up, folks. So here's your third idea for a costume 3 weeks ago:
Disney capitulated to the regime's demands to axe kimmel because he stated basic facts that contradict their lies about the kirk shooting having anything to do with the left.
They relented to public pressure, but I think when you have taken action to support the lies of fascists, you are a fascist collaborator.
Not mention, you know, walt himself.

Omg never do I get so many downvotes as when I point out how unnatural a white wall of american teeth look.
To me it's like neck rings or cranial deformation. Intellectually I understand it's a cultural practice that must display worth to those within the culture or they wouldn't do it. But that's not the effect it has on me.
- Comment on Halloween is coming up, folks. So here's your third idea for a costume 3 weeks ago:
I would not encourage anyone to dress as characters that earn money for or promote fascist collaborators like disney.

Yet another problem that wouldn't exist with a properly unionized work force. If your boss tells you to work when sick, there's only one person who should be shat on.

Ah, could be. There's non-homogenized milk that we get sometimes here but it's nowhere as good as I remember that UK milk being. Maybe it's just distant childhood memories being incorrect.
- Comment on it's just science, i guess 4 weeks ago:
Raw milk is way tastier though. The clearest memory I have from visiting the UK at 9 y/o was the milk from the milk rounds being unreasonably delicious. Like so much better i wasn't sure it was milk.
It's obviously not the right choice to fulfill the nations milk needs, that's a public health disaster. But I wish it was available in limited, risk-minimized contexts like in most of Europe.
- Comment on 'Pure Incitement': Google Allows Israeli Sponsored Propaganda Aimed at Global Sumud Flotilla 5 weeks ago:
Google has allowed the government of Israel to purchase sponsored content spots so that online users searching on the Global Sumud Flotilla will be shown inaccurate, propagandized content accusing the flotilla particpants as being allied with violent, terrorist elements.
Like every youtube ad, google is once more foisting objectively false bullshit on the public.
Maybe next they'll claim that bombing peace activists is ten times more effective than ozempic?

I had two friends who were in a choir and they would rickroll people live at parties - sneak up behind people and start singing the entire song.
- Comment on My Bank Recently Changed Their Interface to Move Money Between Accounts 1 month ago:
Choosing the source then the destination is the correct order. The money moves from X to Y, of course you should choose X first and then Y. Destination then source feels inherently wrong to me too
- Comment on The planet still belongs to the dinosaurs. 1 month ago:
Except dinosaurs weren't taken out and some species like chickens probably have more biomass than ever.
I think that's the more horrific scenario anyway - we cause a massive catastrophe but like the end of a slasher franchise, we're still around to do it all over again.
