Risotto isn’t complex per se, but 20-30 minute of stiring/babysitting isn’t exactly easy.

How do kids write? I know I will go back and forth over the same well formed letter to make it look scribbly.

I’m not trying to be argumentative. I am trying to eat closer to vegan diet for a variety of reasons. That said, its not hard to raise chickens and treat them well. My biggest problem is my daughters trying to hug them when they are clearly getting irritated.

37 !?!?!

So don’t attack the pawns, recruit them.

There are plenty of troops that just repair cars. Maybe those cars get used for murder, maybe they don’t. It’s a complex moral problem that is different for everyone at different levels.

By saying fuck the troops, you are falling into the trap the owners want. You are focusing on pawns rather than the kings they want to be.

Choice 1 be dirt poor or join the military

Choice 2 obey orders or get thrown in military jail

I suspect most adults have some coping mechanisms built up so its often harder to separate out the basic problems. Children offer a ‘cleaner’ study, so that is what they focus on.

I have to say my 6 year old has a lot of symptoms. I started giving her melatonin to help her sleep and a lot of the behavioral issues have gotten a lot better.

I’m not trying to say its a cure all, but I was surprised how well it helps her sleep, and how many (I thought) unrelated issues have improved.

I am very impressed about your directness and take charge attitude. Your approach of bring others in to help you accomplish your goals really speaks of future CEO material to me.

And (reportedly) 19 million more who thought, ‘whatever, I’m not voting’

Here’s an interesting video discussing how you might not actually even need chicken to make chicken broth.

I met a guy preaching the carnivore diet bullshit. He was actually a pretty nice dude, not a right winger just fell for the silly carrots are poison nonsense. I didn’t even bother to point out bioaccumulation / biomagnification, I was too preoccupied trying to understand where these insanely stupid ideas come from. I heard through our mutual friend he abandoned those ideas.

There is definately overlap with political chicanery. Super weird.

Oddly it was the first thing to pass through my mind too for some reason. How do you make a dip political ?

Garlic. Lots of garlic.

The weirdest one Im playing with now is an ugly hack to connect a raspberry pi to a lapdock.

not just sometimes. This guy should be suited up. Hello mesothelioma

yeah. I try to give him some grace as a scifi writer with him seeing the sexual revolution in the 60s based on the release of the pill and trying to imagine where the trajectory will end in 50, 100 years when you separate sex from reproduction. Still his take was kinda creepy and gross.

I think the worst example of him trying to write women was “I Will Fear No Evil”. It is an interesting story as it attempts to reconcile sex and gender written from a cis man in the 1970s, but its pretty messed up. I appreciate that he seems to attempt to bring these ideas into mainstream consciousness, I just wonder if he could have done some more research.

Oregon was founded as a whites only state https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_Oregon

Its been a LONG time for me, but doesn’t it get weird incestous and pedo at the end?

I have not seen that, I will have to check it out.

I thought stranger in a strange land would make a great miniseries. I loved that book as a teen. I read it as an adult some years ago and it didn’t hit the same way. Still, it could be adapted to an impactful story today. People would learn where grok came from and disassociate it with Musk’s racist piece of trash (pisses me off).
