I’ve trimmed literally tons of meat. You don’t know what you’re talking about, slightly dull is better.

Pay attention in school, kids, lest you miss learning what a king is"

~ defender of kings prior to their overthrow.

“Pay attention in school kids, lest you miss learning what an autocratic dictatorship is”

~ Cuban Batista defenders prior to the revolution.

“Pay attention in school slaves, lest you miss learning what a slave master is”

~ Southern slaveholder prior to the abolition of slavery.

I don’t get your point, those are all very good things to know.

You will not defeat the system from working within, you need to build external power structures.

What does that look like in your mind? And how does that conflict with slowing the slide in the meantime while you build the off ramp?

I’d much rather a slow march to fascism than a fast one. When more than 15% of voters start showing up to primaries, we can start talking about marching the other way. As for now, your options are fast fascism and slow fascism. Stomping your feet and declaring that slow fascism isn’t good enough doesn’t change the options.

Basically anything that you can’t really go without, but has a high barrier to entry for providers. ISPs, health insurance, transportation, etc.

Yup. The only real exception is trimming connective tissue from meat. A slightly dull knife can perfectly peel it away without wasting much meat, a nice sharp knife will cut straight through it and make way more work for yourself

Pungency is volatile. The first cuts either need to happen right before as garnish, or go into something before all the good stuff evaporates.

Maybe? I’ve watched a lot of YouTube videos. I spent several years working in a kitchen, which is where that knowledge comes from.

The more you cut, the more you break cell walls, and the more pungent the onion becomes.

Yup, all boils down to faith in the currency. For something like the dollar, it’s backed by faith in the US government. For something like Bitcoin, it’s backed by faith in the resilience of the blockchain and the value buyers place on it. Emperor Norton minted his own currency which was accepted all around San Francisco based purely on the fact that people accepted it.

That ain’t working

I’ll have you know I’m quirky and unique. I slap the bags of rice at the grocery store, who else would do that?

The correct answer

I’m up to 2x on anything that isn’t already pretty fast to begin with. 1x is exclusively for music content.

Extreme strictness is a form of abuse. These symptoms are particular, though not individually exclusive, to strictness. As long as you “behave” you avoid the material effects of the abuse. Other forms of abuse typically have fewer “rules” that can be used as safeguards.

Thanks, I curated my vibe to repel basic-ass bitches.

Huh.

I wanted to be a mechanical engineer growing up, I was always playing with Lego and building little mechanisms. Then I had a physics teacher who got into the subject of physics vs engineering. He told the class about his brother who was an engineer for some electric motor company, and how his team would spend 18 months fiddling with the parameters of a motor, and they’d throw a party if they increased efficiency by 0.5%. I couldn’t disagree with his assessment that that sounded boring and soul-draining.

It sounds like the perfect job for a certain kind of person, and I am not that kind of person.

I kinda feel like kids these days are exposed to weird shit earlier than we were. I’d worry less about him being too young and more worried about the psychic damage you’re gonna take when he thinks it’s boring.

I’m a Nerd Man now, I can’t say.
