  • How do you intake caffeine and how much?

    Jump

  • I drink anywhere from 24-72fz of tea a day. I don't really keep track. Every year I take two weeks to get completely out from under the addiction, but since I enjoy tea it gradually creeps back. If I could find a decaffeinated tea that tastes good I'd put caffeine in the rear window completely. I abhor the idea of being addicted to anything.

  • What is your oldest living presence on the World Wide Web?

    Jump

  • My livejournal account, my email, and my website are all of an age, though the website is oldest. But my submissions on Z2 are my oldest artifacts on an active website.

  • What is your favorite kind of fidget toy/stim toy?

    Jump

  • I want to say clicky pen, not just for the clicking and spinning but also dis- and re-assembling them.

    But the real answer by time spent is probably cocktail tray.

  • Married people, do you have a wedding ring? Do you always wear it?

    Jump

  • Yes; and no: I take it off to type, play videogames, wash dishes, swim, or shower. And since I spend the majority of my time at home washing dishes and playing videogames, I often just put it back on as I leave the house in the morning.

  • What are some good stories about anti-heroes?

    Jump

  • blows all his money on isolation tanks, as I recall

    that's some rich people shit right there

    Jump

  • poor? Isn't he some hotshot lawyer?

  • Does anyone else feel like fediverse (particulary Lemmy) is getting more and more quieter?

    Jump

  • Nah, I'm just checking it more often, which is a sign I need to take some preventative corrections towards my mental health now that I think of it

  • How's everyone's gas prices?

    Jump

  • great here in Chicago, at least for bicycle commuters

  • Have you ever played this string game thingy?

    Jump

  • we called it "cat's cradle" and yeah, we 'played' it in the American Midwest in the 80's and 90's

  • How do we prevent QR codes from containing swastikas or similar?

    Jump

  • I upvote if I want to see the answers regardless.

  • Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong?

    Jump

  • you're speaking my love language

  • Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong?

    Jump

  • Avcados need salt and acid to be good. Next time try in a salad with a sharp dressing; or just cubed with lime juice, chili powder, and salt. It's amazing added to a bowl (but not the pot!) of chicken soup.

  • YSK Trading Card Game sleeves and binders can be used for some photocards. Usually you can protect many more photocards for the same price

    Jump

  • Should I know what a "photocard" is?

  • Is "dark humor" generally acceptable or is it just my parents/culture more sensitive towards jokes?

    Jump

  • It's only funny if they're in on the joke.

  • What are your views on homeschooling?

    Jump

  • You've got a bit of circular reasoning going on there: Homeschool is inferior because it leads to lower income averages but then income matters so much that an education that doesn't increase it as much must be inferior.

    Look, I'm not a homeschooling stan. I just don't like bad logic or incentivizing antisocial behaviors. We probably agree on, like, 99% of this and my nitpick about half a sentence is a blip comparatively.

  • What band/artist have you seen live more than once, would gladly go see again, and what keeps you coming back?

    Jump

  • It was the tour for Earth vs. the Pipettes

  • Do libertarians and anarchists have a similar world view?

    Jump

  • Both have a somewhat idealized view of human nature, specifically vis-a-vis power vacuums.

    But there are in fact both right- and left-libertatians. Right-libertarians more-or-less see people as a kind of business and think the government shouldn't get in the way of businesses unless they're engaged in unfair anti-competitive practices, because competition is the highest good. Left-libertatians see corporations as more-or-less hostile but useful entities that should be yoked to human interests, and that this kind of regulation is the role of government while leaving human individual behavior completely unregulated, because human liberty is the highest good.

    Whereas anarchism is pretty much orthogonal to any economic axis. Ideally, there's no entity to regulate economic forces and there's no central currency, so who gets regulated and for what reason is an absent question. Corporations can't exist under anarchism because they're so clearly a predatory hierarchy that frankly I'm surprised we even allow them in regular society.

    So, uh, teal dear long-story-short, no, they're incompatible world views because libertarianism presupposes power structures abhorrent to anarchism.

    Edited to fix a typo that significantly changed the meaning of a sentence.

    Jump

  • Being poor sucks. But above fairly low baseline, income level signifies antisocial tendencies more than hard work, education, or intelligence.

    1986 saw the release of both the Henson / Bowie film Labyrinth and the Ravensberger board game Labyrinth. What was going on in the zeitgeist that created these two seemingly unrelated classics?
