Some of the stuff in the freezer section is pretty high quality. I recently got a shrimp entree on sale that could easily pass for restaurant quality.

Also, don’t sleep on frozen vegetables. The quality is second only to fresh and you can also get “restaurant” versions covered in cheese, butter, and even roasted.

Dr Strangelove saw one possible future and it had 10 women to each man.

This video (6:13) is about shrimp, but it has great advice for someone who’s not a seafood person but wants to incorporate that into their diet.

According to some psycho-annalists, you don’t have an authentic self. It’s just a Russian nesting dolls of personas and identities that we show the world, but at the bottom is not our true self, but instead another mask we show ourselves.

I’m not sure about all that, but personality, persona, identity, and self are all concepts we use to understand our consciousness. So it would be a mistake to try and reify those concepts as though they’re a real part of you like an ear or a leg.

This is dumb. If you don’t have any balls, how can you pee?

Hamburger Helper is one of the biggest rip-offs in the grocery. You get what? $0.50 of noodles and $0.15 of spices? You have to provide the beef and the milk.

I was a sucker for years buying those salad dressing packets before I figured out how to make my own.

It’s like every business is out to rob you if you’re not paying attention.

We learned about a study in Psych class where the researchers asked elementary school students what their favorite activity was. Drawing was the popular answer. So the researchers paid the kids $8/hr (even 6yo get better than Min wage) to draw. Then they would poll them again about their favorite activities. Guess what was on the bottom?

Scribes and the whole Priest class

Measles is the most infectious virus we know of. Contagion is measured by how many people the average patient will infect. Covid was a 4, measles is 18.

I lurk with an adblocker guilt free. Haven’t logged in since I joined here.

You don’t need IP to know what happens when mythologies are lost. Entire languages along with libraries of stories and myths go extinct all the time.

What do you care? If what you say is true, we’re already doomed to nuclear war.

I would open a text program and write: Dear self, why would you want to escape the timeloop? You’re functionally immortal and free from consequence.

And then every day would start with me opening the file and going “oh yea” and having another kick-ass day.

It’s strange how many people are eager to discover the “true name” of things. IDK if that’s the influence of Rumpelstiltskin, D&D, or just vestigial old-European superstition.

No, any platform that allows incels, nazis, and klansmen will inevitably become 8kun.

There are lots of people who commit crime without realizing that they’re doing something wrong. I know a guy personally who raped his date in college, and didn’t realize it was a rape until decades later. Was he innocent? What about drunk people? What about people who don’t “choose”? What if free will is post-hoc nonsense?

IDK what country your from, but in the US, mistrusting doctors and the institutions of health is the most rational thing in the world. That’s because our healthcare is capitalistic and runs on that logic. People die all the time because helping them would cut into profits.

The real insanity is thinking that the government, corporations, and the media would suddenly work together to benefit the health of the public… for free.

Antivaxers are not stupid, they just never lived in a world where Doctors and Hospitals cared about public health.

Sure but HBG is the only one who can make a viral 4 hour video.
