- Comment on Wooden Cutting Boards Are the Best | SciShow [12:53] 1 week ago:
Apparently the best wooden cutting board for tight grain, and therefore no crevices are the end grain ones. They’re the ones that look like cubes of wood stuck together. When I trained as a chef, the teaching kitchen we worked in had a massive board for meat and they would clean it (I’m not sure exactly how the cleaning went, I dropped out before I progressed to that bit) but after cleaning they stored rock salt on it. I assume to draw out moisture and preserve any remnants that might remain. I’m looking for a good end grain board for meat, I haven’t switched that one yet.
- Comment on Why are expressions like "women artists" or "women writers" used? 1 week ago:
I think it’s more that woman is singular, in that context and female is plural. Usually when people denote gender in a description, because fuck the patriarchy, they’re referring to one person not a whole group of writers, artists etc.

Old school rules, you were supposed to drink flattened lemonade if you were sick. No idea why, probably was made using real lemons at some stage? I’m just guessing.
- Comment on When do we riot? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, that might have to happen. Historically it’s how things tend to go. And in the mean time, boycott everything you can, hit them in the hip pocket, find groups with listings that make it clear what’s owned by “the bad guys” unsubscribe, disengage and lock down privacy, they make money from you, by you just engaging. There’s a creator who led a boycott on Kelloggs after the ceo said, when asked about the cost of living, how people should cope, he said people should eat cereal (which had recently doubled in price) I’m retelling it poorly, but it drove people to gather and start a boycott. And it was big.
If we led instructors on how to unsubscribe, disengage and engage privacy, that would hit their hip pocket.
If we figured out who sucks the most, and targeted them, one by one, boycotting, they’d feel it.
Figure out and share reports on local candidates and politicians, because the news is owned by the billionaires.
Remember that they want you to believe change isn’t possible, they will fight you with big shows of how what you’re doing isn’t causing change and isn’t worth the risk, by putting people in prison for ridiculous lengths of proposed time, and filming their own atrocities to keep everyone in fight or flight, (in a head space where you can’t organise and fight back)
A lot of their warfare against the public consists of driving you into despair, driving you into fight or flight, etc. You can see that, in some of the ansers here. People who have or are giving up and exasperated, thinking what they’re doing isn’t making a change. A huge way to prepare yourself for the fight is learning nervous system regulation tools and practicing them daily. You need your faculties about you. Let the turkeys around you gobble all they want, keep on your path.
- Comment on Home prices fall across Australia as housing downturn takes hold 2 weeks ago:
Housing is supposed to have ups and downs, it’s supposed to be a long term investment, to be able to recoup. At least that’s what it was before capital gains and negative gearing, and many other policies that have been stacking the game. There’s supposed to be a buyers market and a sellers market, and you’re supposed to know which you’re in. Historically, even if you sold in a sellers market, you still made money, because Housing always appreciates, just usually slowly (until the game stacking). So nobody lost out, really. These same policies that stack the game, also cause an uneven keel for all involved. To even get back to solid ground, we’re going to need to let house prices stagnate for decades to catch up to the overinflation, whilst also increasing public housing stock. Neither of which are proposed any time soon.
- Comment on PSBLACKOUT (boycott of PlayStation) 3 weeks ago:
I don’t necessarily disagree with you. Depending on what your aim is there, which isn’t really explained in anything you have said.
I think we’re talking about entirely different things. And different wants for outcome. I don’t necessarily advocate personally for the efforts they’ve exampled, I just saw you didn’t seem to understand their logic. So I explained what they aim for.
They aim to let PlayStation see the numbers in agreement behind the want for physical media. That’s it. Just physical media. Stopping within a time frame, as a group, speaks volumes for that.
I’m entirely unclear on what you’re trying to actually achieve, though. You want to abstain from PlayStation forever, that’s it? I don’t see why you are engaging in discussion about it, if you’re just done, be done.
If you have a free week to sit outside some PlayStation headquarters, go do. I would suggest less people have that ability, than the number that have the ability to show, how many in numbers they are, by abstaining for a week.
I’m also not American and I don’t live in America. If you think your way is better, rather than sprout off, go gather numbers and organise.
- Comment on PSBLACKOUT (boycott of PlayStation) 3 weeks ago:
Boycotting with a small window, isn’t the whole war, it’s just one shot fired. It gives them an idea of the numbers involved, the amount of people who disagree with their policy, and an idea we won’t just forget and roll over. If they ignore the first shot fired, you fire more, and you get bigger with every shot fired. It’s got to effect their bottom line, or they will ignore it. People who entirely abstain are just measured as not in the argument at all. You don’t give them pressure by never owning a PlayStation. You just aren’t a customer. They count customers. It would even be worthwhile to create a PlayStation account, log in the day before the boycott, and log out for the duration, then log in again the day after the end, so you have a measurable voice in the movement. If you went to their offices, you would just look clinically unhinged, and they would just involve police, and ignore you.

Imagine how easy it would be to sew simple parenting classes into schools, but no, broken people are more profitable to capitalism. It’s not the parents fault. People have to scrabble to survive, what kind of parent does that pressure create. It’s not even the people, my friend. Compassion and empathy are how we change things in the world. Shaming helps nothing.

- Comment on The speed of light 2 months ago:
Different phases (colours of light) move at different speed, and have different longevity, I think. So how they always thought those pretty galaxy nebula photos, were red? Actually turns out that phase of light just travels for a longer time. Lasts longer. OK, now someone correct me, because I have absolutely no idea what I’m talking about. Just bring up vague floating memories from an article i read once.

I love my old psp! I still enjoy playing it. I feel like, in a time where things aren’t made to last, things that do hold up, really deserve reverence. So even though I’ve never stopped loving my psp, I gain more respect for it over time.

I got myself a mega blocks pirate ship, about 20 years ago, give or take. I still have it. All my kids and nices and nephews and now grandson has played with it (and trashed the shit out of it, but meh) I still rig it up as a nightlight on top of my wardrobe. It still makes explosion noises with flashing lights, and launchable cannon balls. (I should probably check those batteries…) Doesn’t look like mega blocks, looks like a ghost / ghoul type pirate ship model. Came with treasure, a heap of peg leg pirates, and a giant killer octopus. I still have the octopus. One of my top favourite possessions.
