  A discord community I’m in has been sharing 3x3 cover image grids of the games that “define you”. I’ll just paste my response from there:

  I’m not bothering to share an image because it would just be 7 Kingdom Hearts titles, Tribes 2, and Oregon Trail

  Your shitpostid is in the format of a North American phone number, with an area code in Quebec.

  Nothing implied by that, just couldn’t help but notice.

  This type of environment, and OPs reaction to it, is how people develop compulsive behaviors that are unhealthy. You can hear it in how they talk about even simple things, like their extreme disgust towards saliva deposited in a trash can. Revulsion towards saliva in a trash can is not normal. Saliva left on a surface? Or on their person? Sure, gross. But a trash can is an appropriate place for someone to spit. It doesn’t deserve the vehement disgust OP displays.

  I’m not diminishing how unhygienic and disgusting their family is. The photos make it clear that they live in a completely inexcusable level of filth. I just don’t want OP to continue down this path of obsessive, compulsive cleanliness. There’s a happy medium.

  So, based on your description and the pictures, here’s my take:

  Your family is unhygienic and gross. Water leaking from surfaces can pick up all sorts of gross stuff. Leaving food waste (I see banana peels I think?) out and exposed to open air leads to rotting and mold which can definitely make you sick. Used toilet paper with fecal matter on it left in an open trash can? HELLA gross.

  BUT

  Your reaction to this environment is going too far. Disinfecting your phone constantly? Concerns about people spitting in the trash? Not eating any leftovers or drinking from any container you didn’t open yourself? These are going too far. As others have pointed out, some contact with germs is important to maintain a healthy immune system.

  There’s a middle-ground that both you AND your family are missing.

  Wash your hands after using the bathroom and before eating, sure. Don’t leave things that rot out in the open, of course.

  Putting the garbage can next to the table while clearing it? Totally fine. Eating leftovers that have been refrigerated for a day? Totally fine.

  I understand why you’ve developed hyper-vigilence living in that kind of environment. It makes sense. But I think you’re probably overcompensating.

  You might benefit from learning more about the human immune system, food safety, and other science-based topics. Did you know that urine, for example, is sterile? You can literally safely drink human urine (with some exceptions). Feces, on the other hand, is total opposite of sterile.

  I’m sorry you have to live in such a gross environment. I hope you can find a way to convince your family to meet you in the middle.

  haha wow this comment is amazing satire! you really nailed the elitist, dismissive, generally toxic attitude of the people described in the OP!

  Your devotion to playing the part is brilliant. you didn’t even put a /s at the end of anything!

  bravo on your satirical masterpiece!

  My guy, Au-197 is what’s being created, as stated in the screenshot, and it is the stable isotope of gold. It’s the naturally occurring one.

  And the reaction doesn’t need to be especially stable on its own when it is a bonus byproduct of existing fusion reactor processes. The point is that we can take existing and new reactors, add this process, and immediately gain significantly extra value from the stuff we’re already doing.

  it’s like hybrid electric cars that charge their batteries using the brakes. You’re already breaking and losing a ton of energy as waste. ANY way to recapture and use that waste energy that yields more value than the materials required to capture it, is an immediate win.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alchemy is so hot right now.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The jewelry and investment industries name up 45-50% of gold consumption. Practical and industrial uses make up only 5-10%.

  As such, while flooding the market with cheap gold would rapidly lower value, is the amount of gold being generated from fusion reactors is orders of magnitude less than the global consumption rate from jewelry and investment, which seems likely, then the value of the generated gold would remain relatively stable.

  in other words, considering that the gold market generates something like $350bn USD per year, and the total market value of “above ground” gold around $25tn USD, even if fusion reactors generate $1bn USD worth of gold it would have a negligible impact on the price of gold while providing significant value to the reactor operators (incentivizing the growth of the fusion reactor industry)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do I have extreme anxiety?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nobody here can diagnose you, but what you’ve told us is more than enough to tell us you need to seek a professional opinion. 

  Find a psychiatrist who can see you ASAP about the anxiety, stress, panic attacks, etc

  Find a physician who can see you ASAP about the migraines/headaches. 

  If either continue to worse or more frequent, seek immediate care at your local Urgent Care or ER.

  Don’t gamble with your safety please ❤️‍🩹

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why isn't it considered vegan to harvest animals who die naturally?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s mostly about consent. We can debate when and where sentience begins, but it begins somewhere and vegans hold a moral philosophy that says using another sentient being’s work product or body without their consent is immoral.

  Note that I am not vegan myself but understand, if not agree with, their moral position.

  And as another reply said, most vegans recognize it as a “best effort” philosophy, as they appreciate the impracticality of an absolutist stance. They are focused on “harm reduction”.

  I’m feeling really prescient because I finally decided to sell most of my NVIDIA and gaming sector stock literally on Tuesday.

  Though it turns out even today’s correction just brings us back to where we were earlier in the week, for the most part. We’ll see how things go Monday…
