- Comment on How does one figure out what to do, after getting out and done with high school? 18 hours ago:
My advice is think of a practical skill you feel comfortable with and learn it well. If it’s useful at any stage of technology, you will have a decent job secure for the rest of your life even if society advances a lot or falls to the stone age.
With that kind of foundation in place, you can then have fun (responsibly) or even afford to build a family with someone. Long term, it is what’s useful, though you might miss out on the dumb risks of youth (which are totally peer/social pressure) and cause you to do dumb crap when hit by middle age anxiety.

- Comment on Why do we assume paper towels are sterile, or at least clean? 1 month ago:
Impossibility is incorrect. Improbability is the better word.
- Comment on Why do we assume paper towels are sterile, or at least clean? 1 month ago:
Because they’re white. White = clean is decades worth of marketing into every aspect of our day to say life. You see white cloth, white paper, white paint and you automatically think “clean”.
The paper rolls themselves are variably clean or sterile because each company has its own level of ethics enforcement.
How it’s Made show had an episode on them, if I’m remembering properly, and their production involves washing and cooking them at high temperature, so there is that initial sense of sterilization for the most part. However, what happens after can add a lot of bad stuff. From how often they maintain their equipment, whether the packaging itself is clean, delivery and storage until sale, there are a lot of chances something nasty can hitch a ride along the way. More so if the paper is scented and attracts rodents thinking they’re getting a nice meal.
And that’s just the kitchen paper. There’s also recycled paper which tends to use all kinds of nasty shit from wherever and the recycling process simply can’t completely sanitize.
Anyway, paper towels have the perception of seeming clean because they look clean, but they usually aren’t.

Yup. Mostly because they don’t have time to vote and the parties are trying their best to make them unable to vote.

- Comment on Does it make much difference healthwise if you were to split your meal unti 2 parts? Have all your carbs at once then an hour later have your veg and protein? 1 month ago:
More recently I’ve been told it might be better to avoid eating meat or proteins in general for evening meals. Having to digest it through the night might also influence cancer chances due to the stress.
- Comment on Does it make much difference healthwise if you were to split your meal unti 2 parts? Have all your carbs at once then an hour later have your veg and protein? 1 month ago:
I’m inclined to say yes. Separating the types of stuff which needs to be digested makes it easier to produce the required acid. This reduces the chances of developing digestive issues. Theoretically.

Reminds me of those people who like their houses on the edge of a cliff or on stilts in the water. Like, sure man, that looks cool, but how safe is it 10 years down the line? And who’s gonna clean up the mess after?
Just seems like irresponsible decision making in pursuit of prettiness…

Not even slightly, but I don’t particularly feel like going on about how no human creation is truly original, waxing interminable over the distinction between symbols and concepts or, you know, defending a nazi right now.
But in a way, we kinda have to. I mean, are the nazis today the same as the nazis which started this movement or are they a separate entity and should be treated as such? Are all the nazi groups today are their own inventions and should they be granted the so-called ‘honour’ of having invented their particular brand of ‘doppelnazism’? Or should we reserve that for when one particular branch starts calling itself something else and only looks to have been inspired by nazism, but is something else entirely?
Yeah, history is a continuous chain reaction. And the problem with fixating on specific points as the start of something has the disadvantages of ignoring everything which lead up to it and disagreeing on which point to put an end to it.
With your point of view, nazism ended with the second world war and what we suffer now is something different. A new invention as you say.
With my point of view, the dude didn’t invent shit and just stole what was already there and now we’re dealing with more of the same, the major difference being there’s no new brand of terror to set them apart visibly.

I have really bad news if you think this wasn’t exactly what happened when they wrote the bible…
If you’re agreeing he didn’t invent shit, I’d recommend amending your comment saying that he did. No need to add legitimacy where there isn’t any. No pressure though.
As for gog, the deed is done and out in the world. Whatever they do from here on out, it will be with this burden attached.

He didn’t invent shit. He copied a rune and appropriated it diagonally. S, N, Z whatever, it’s the same damn thing. Sowilo.
Ppl keep praising his ass here like he wrote the bible or some shit when all he did was take what was already there and twisted it.
