Eh, Death of the Author is a thing for a reason–we don’t have to take authors’ thoughts as the end of discussion about a thing. Richard Adams is quoted as saying he didn’t put any meaning into Watership Down, and they were just tales for his daughters. Bradbury said that Fahrenheit 451 was mostly about people becoming isolated in society and watching too much TV rather than censorship.

I always find it interesting when comparing cuisine between cultures of stuff that exists in different places but only eaten in one (or a few) of them. Like ok, I get that if you’re not used to much seafood in general you maybe will eat some grilled salmon but you’re not gonna be eating the guts out of crabs or lobsters or whatever. But then there’s something like burdock root, which grows in the US, doesn’t have a strong taste, and is just like various other root vegetables we do eat (although not as sweet as something like a carrot). But the US doesn’t eat it while east Asia does.

Do you use as many conveyor belts as Josh does in Satisfactory?

I think we just don’t do as much critical introspection as we like to think.

It’s definitely true, and it shows that the stuff you learn as kids is even more ingrained than we even notice most of the time. Kids don’t normally have blood drawn, so it’s not like elementary schools were filled with a bunch of kids saying “wait a minute, that didn’t happen with my last blood draw.”

It’s not like it doesn’t have some logic to it. Blood carries oxygen throughout the body and then cycles back through the lungs to get more oxygen. So when you look at your arms and see the blue veins we just thought that was obviously the deoxygenated blood returning to the heart.

It made basic sense, so no one was running down to the library to check out a medical textbook to disprove it.

Disappointed the Midway code is MDW so you can’t call Chicago MID.

Like 40 hours I guess, ate lunch on a Thursday and then breakfast on the Saturday. Needed to make a weigh in on the Saturday morning that for some reason I can’t remember I was unprepared for–I think it was early in the season. That practice on Friday wasn’t much fun though.

Going to bed hungry isn’t nearly as distracting as trying to sleep when you’re thirsty though.

He had the shits iirc

At least he’ll be remembered for the award named after him

Oh noes, people are hating fascists! We shouldn’t let those fascist haters run the government, much better to let the fascists do it. Go lick some more ICE balls, you fucking rusty spork.

I think he’s gonna go on the toilet with an aneurysm while rage tweeting because no one likes him

That’s why they say you ain’t dead til you’re warm and dead

There was a law professor on a podcast talking about how courts traditionally lend credibility to the government as a default position, but it might have to change because of all the shit this admin is pulling

but if their fascist government fails, then they can go back to normal society of no one knows who they are.

It should be trivial for a theoretical subsequent competent government to identify these people, but I’ve just about lost all hope that anyone will face consequences for doing fascist shit.

Still blows my mind that space lasers gazpacho lady is the current voice of reason in the gqp
