Its very funny getting a window into just how incompetent an operation infowars is. The episode about alex's dad's deposition was very interesting, he's a slightly more slippery kind of bullshit artist than alex it turns out. Dan is quite literally the world's foremost Alexjonesologist; indeed, he might remember more about Alex Jones than Alex Jones does. He also fully acknowledges that extended direct exposure causes brain damage. which is part of why he takes regular breaks from Alex coverage

I've gone back to Pratchett's later books, since a rewatch of Shaun's video about Harry Potter piqued my interest about Snuff. God, it's difficult going. I know why, obviously, and I don't hold it against the guy at all, but it's so badly written. Everyone speaks in long, complex monologues, the kind that the pre-symptoms books would save for the emotional climaxes, and the narration is about the same but with far fewer commas than there should be. It's genuinely difficult to take any of it in.

Someone once told me that in the middle ages, turnips were considered animal feed and inedible to humans. So much so that a bunch of monks resorted to cannibalism rather than eat them. A decision I can 100% understand.

Or else it was some older cultivar that hadn't been bred not to taste like poo poo, idk. And that lobster thing is a fascinating bit of historical irony - but every time it comes I viscerally imagine being served prison lobster that's been out of the sea for over a week in a time before refrigeration. Mmm nah

People thought that tomatoes were poisonous unless cooked into ketchup, and potatoes were only declared safe to eat in the 1770s. I guess if you lack empirical and statistical testing then it's probably best to err on the the side of caution rather than eat a mushroom that makes you piss your liver out two weeks later, but there's such a thing as too cautious. (And too chauvinist, if you eat nothing but maize then your skin will fall off, unless you listen to the guys who have been growing and consuming it for millennia and nixtamalize it first. Some people would rather avoid a vegetable altogether than talk to a foreign though, as we are seeing.)

Cookie Cutter posted:It's the same kind of talk I've heard to dismiss those things in favour of a more simplistic narrative, if I'm mistaken in that then it's my bad, either way it is not a very good post. It's this. I was making the same point, that the west would use the Oh They've Always Been Like That as an excuse for everything (made-up words like whataboutism and reverse-whataboutism as a deflection from crimes closer to home, which is itself true - it was a tactic - and also itself whataboutism, it's fractal, heck the US alone has people that still cope and seethe over the embarrassment of Sputnik 1 and Luna 9, so you better believe they were itching to bloody the nose first chance they got), and encapsulating it with the true fact that shock doctrine itself is a historical factor. A factor that happened, in history. The opposite of dismissing. This is UKMT after all. Also this little box has a 50000 character limit, so I have to be succinct. Brevity. Soul. Wit. I try, most times I fail. Mea culpa. Dabir posted:I took that as them having the opinion that shock doctrine was responsible but being too cowardly to express it for some reason. Sincere thanks for getting it right  in my absence but I really don't think it was necessary to backhand it with cowardly.Anyway, bygones. Let's leave it here, it's Poker Face time.

Reminds me to go looking at the Horns of Venus again. And the Galilean moons. And decent dark sky spots in general. And the angles of latitude, but some still say that's just because the Jesuits and Jews invented trigonometry and protractors

Guavanaut posted:People thought that tomatoes were poisonous unless cooked into ketchup, and potatoes were only declared safe to eat in the 1770s. I got extremely sick from potatoes when I was a penniless post-grad. I had bought a bunch of spuds into uni to do in the microwave when I had to be in at lunchtime and kept them in my desk drawer. Anyway, they started sprouting but I had paid good money for them so I ate them anyway. Fortunately my bathroom layout had the sink very close to the throne. Got me out of a 9am fluid dynamics lecture the next morning though (mind you as the only student in that class my absence was noted - I did phone in!) I've taken to watching Naked & Afraid late evenings (to get survival tips for the apocalypse) - tonight they were so desperate for food the woman killed a snake and the managed to cook it on a fire and munched it. The main learning point from several episodes is you must get warm dry shelter. Yesterday one got carted off to hospital with near-fatal hypothermia after days of unrelenting rain and cold and the other was going hypothermic by the time the medics insist he stop. Tonight's took days before they got a fire to light and took some time building a shelter and were also edging hypothermia. Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 03:21 on Feb 24, 2023 |

Before I knew what the smell was I'd been sitting in the living room (the kitchen was a cooker on the stairs just outside the living room) sniffing the air going 'what's that awful smell?' until one of the other flatmates shushed me! Oh and how could I forget 'smelly fish holiday' in Egypt - "Sham Nessim" on Easter Monday (Coptic Easter which isn't usually the same as Western Easter). They cook this horrible smelling fish thing. I stayed home that day. https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20170323-the-deadly-dish-people-love-to-eat Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 03:30 on Feb 24, 2023 |

Read about The Turnip Winter here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnip_Winter The Turnip Winter (German: Steckrübenwinter) of 1916 to 1917 was a period of profound civilian hardship in Germany during World War I. quote:... And we're not even at war! Even supermarkets on the Ukrainian front line have tomatoes & other fresh veg in them.

I love how the press announce veg is scarce and the entire country starts eating the same diet as a guinea pig. Swiping it up "just in case" Which speaking of, is really loving annoying because getting veg for my guineas is going to be really hard for a while, the only thing resembling a green grocer we have is Lidl
