Then your judgment was entirely correct, my b

Imagine realizing you made the wrong call by hearing the screams of children.

Hard disagree about that being the wrong call, even though it killed him.

Just reading between the lines, mozkowski, one of the founders, was a member of a Jewish community organization and worked at the magazine until 1927. I’m guessing he was a moderating influence and things changed when he left.

Ime, Germans love shitting on other Germans’ English skills. I’m an English (and German) speaking immigrant in Germany, and I honestly think most people do pretty well, but nobody here finds it as impressive as I do.

Psychedelics can help you make connections that you would otherwise not have made, which I would consider to be better brain function, but it’s an inexact science (mostly because it’s hard to get funding to study psychedelics), so in practice they don’t always do that.

I’m of the opinion that humans would not be evil if they were healthy and educated about the consequences of their actions.

My dad is so, so smart in so many ways. Unfortunately, he’s completely incapable of some forms of introspection (thankfully not all). He believes that he’s even smarter than he is, and rejects anything that doesn’t fit his worldview.

I do understand him a lot more as time goes on, because my siblings and I have learned that our whole family is autistic and our parents were just dealing with that their whole lives. They did a great job with us, specifically in regard to us being autistic.

For example, my dad would warn me before he sharpened our knives, so that I could get at least two blocks away before he started, and they never cared if we wore clothes inside out to avoid tags, as long as they were otherwise neat. They educated us early about nutrition, so we could choose what we wanted to eat ourselves, but it had to be balanced. They most importantly explained that things don’t always make sense, but that sometimes people have an emotional connection to them or for seniority or similar reasons don’t want to hear us say that it doesn’t make sense.

Most effective for me specifically: my dad explained two things to me in exactly the right way for me to act in the way that was most helpful for me. He told me that I might be smarter than any given cop, but I’m not smarter than all of them together if I were to commit a big crime, and that if I kept stealing petty shit, I’d eventually get locked out of jobs where I might have been able to embezzle a lot more money. I stopped stealing and did eventually get a job where I could have embezzled a lot of money, but by that time I was better at thinking through consequences and no longer wanted to. I don’t know if that advice would work for everyone and frankly it seems like irresponsible advice to give a kid, but it absolutely helped me.

Autism aside, they were also both completely correct about how important caring for your teeth is.

Shrooms

The worst part: postpartum women have lower levels of microplastics than other adults.

Salt was not expensive for people living near the coast/inland salt mines. It got very expensive for people not living near centers of salt production, where ships don’t help much with transportation. It’s heavier than water by volume, because it’s a rock.

I was adding to your comment, because you skipped over the shipping costs, which made up the majority of the price for people not lucky enough to live near salt production.

It’s like mangoes today. If you live where they grow, they’re cheap as fuck. If you don’t, they’re expensive, but not impossible for most people to purchase.

It’s also because salt is heavy as fuck, so transporting it from coasts and places with salt mines was expensive.

Oh shit, I actually have ten on my head alone, good call.

Pssh, I’ve got seven on my head alone. Everyone forgets about the ears, but who doesn’t like aural sex?

I once wondered aloud how they get tanning beds to emit vitamin D. I then immediately corrected myself by saying that it was photosynthesis, which is technically correct, but doesn’t sound right in the context of animals. I did not feel smart.

Drivers also aren’t allowed headphones where I’m from. If the cyclist had a boombox strapped to his bike, that would be comparable to a car radio, but headphones block your perception of external sound a lot more than music from a speaker

My first thought: wow, the PPE for the people making road signs must be so involved!

My second thought: unfortunately, probably not at all.

If there were a crime which deserved the death penalty (there isn’t), intentionally poisoning more than 200 children would be it. It’s technically possible that they’re really negligent and stupid, but hiding the paint was definitely intentional and probably caused additional harm by delaying treatment.

I will always be hated for this but fascism is necessary. It is the whip of the owning class. As long as you have capitalism, you have fascism.

In more detail if you wish:

Normal society: Person make chair, person sell chair, person eat

Thats the “natural” way of things.

Capitalism:Person make chair, person get tiny cut of chair because [mArKeTiNg cOsT, responsibility, land ownership and other bogus excuses], person eat less, capitalist eat more.

People dont really accept this because it is not natural or fair. Therefore you need a couple of things, depending on the stage of capitalism:

the carrot (you will have your own house! you will buy cool things! you can be rich!)

the veil (propaganda, telling you why it is the only thing that works, why you just need to comply, because compliance will be rewarded…)

the stick (a militarized police force that will shoot you if you dont comply)

As you can see, all western states are currently going down the “military disguised as police” route. Why do you think that is? It is because the capitalists want more yachts.

And after 100 years of propaganda, we actually believe there never has been a better system.

Have a great day.

That’s the full quote, I really don’t see how you’re reading this and thinking they support fascism (or capitalism, for that matter). It’s not great phrasing, but it looks to be an indictment of capitalism on the grounds that it relies on deceiving and abusing the populace.

Was it edited or can you explain how you’re interpreting it?

Nah, I get background music because I don’t need “sound” for my thoughts. Generally it’s nice, sometimes it’s baby shark

I process thoughts visually, as typed text. It’s like a fucking ticker tape when I get going having random thoughts and I definitely experience shower thoughts.

Sorry
