  • 9/11 truther. Missile pods on military jets and fed reserve gold heist. WTC7 got me in. But I was also a welder and I’d been making thermite for fun since I was a teenager so I knew that jet fuel didn’t have to melt steel beams to significantly reduce its tensile strength, just several hundred degrees was enough to weaken steel. And I know the difference between thermite products and liquid aluminium pouring from the buildings, thermite looks like straight up lava, and in any case, you need way, way more thermite to melt through a steel girder than you might expect from watching movies. It takes at least half a kilo just to melt through the hood of a car, let alone and engine block like the anarchist cookbook would have you believe, I know because I did it.

    Ugh my bank keeps calling me and making me validate my identity by rattling off the card number and security code, to warn me that hackers have charged my card absurd amounts! It would be nice if they called before the hackers steal my money. That’s how I memorised it.










  • Food hasn’t been plentiful for most of history. It’s been scarce and expensive.

    Being fatter meant that:

    • You had access to more food than you needed
    • You could afford more food than you needed
    • you didn’t work a manual labor job that required you to not be fat

    It’s similar with pale skin and long hair. Pale skin (or powdered skin) meant that you didn’t work outdoors. Long hair (on men and women) often meant that you didn’t work with machinery (looms, mangles ect). In many cases, fancy clothing, hair and makeup for men and women that took hours to apply was its own signal - you could afford to waste money on the clothes and servants to dress you, and you could afford to waste hours every day getting all costumed up.
