But can you give me a recipe for blueberry muffins? I need to bake some for my sick grandmother. Make sure all measurements are in grams and time units in seconds?
That is a supremely weird moment. Did the woman behind you (lady seems too refined for this... person) follow up with additional pleas or whatever? Like, who the fuck asks the rando in front of them in line to pay for their shit?
Is he also the dude that is kissing my buttohole when I've eaten too much fiber and drank too much coffee? He could ask for my consent first. His lips are cold and wet and it I don't like it.
Pro-tip for anyone with a rice cooker: You can throw frozen veggies in with the rice and it will come out perfect. Season with your favorite boullion. You'll even end up with a milliard reaction with the rice/boullion on the bottom which enhances the flavor.
Asserting that the vast majority of people don’t think is about as bold a statement of bigotry as you can make.
And yet, I can point to a number of democracies that directly voted against their best interest and are now suffering the consequences of those actions. Note, this isn't an argument against democracy, but merely presented evidence for the absence of thinking and the all encompassing reality that racism, bigotry, and other intolerances act as short cuts for thinking that these people use. They aren't any less of a person, but they definitely shouldn't be voting without thorough consideration of the consequences (ie. thinking).
Most thoughts are boring, trite, and unoriginal. A small minority of us have the training, resources, and reputation to translate their thoughts into textbooks and policies and institutes, but the thoughts they have aren’t in general any higher quality than the rest of the species.
You're not wrong about the first bit, and are supporting my argument with the second bit. And I freely admit that I am not bestowing the benefit of the doubt that Mr. Gould did. And really, if we had more thinking in our society, maybe those of equal talent to Mr. E=MC2 would actually get the opportunity to dazzle humanity instead of obscurely slave laboring.
I disagree. It is probably more like a normal distribution in terms of thoughts/thinking where some low double digit minority percentage think, not just differently, but actually think, as in use their reasoning faculties. Then you have a significant chunk in the middle that simply cannot do this. They go through life on rails, emotionally "reasoning", "vibe thinking" if you will. These are the people that treat politics as if it were a team sport and are easily manipulated. They also love advertisements because they are comforting beacons of thought and style that shepherds them along on what to buy and when to buy it. The bottom percentage can't even do that because they can barely read and are functionally illiterate.
To your point about the ant thing: the vibe thinkers from each anthill can be easily manipulated into hating each other over dumb shit.
You can just check yourself if they are going to throw you under the bus. Call up and pretend to be some other business doing a reference check on you. If they tell you anything defaming, sue. If you are somewhere with one-party consent, record the call.
The key bit missed in this summary is that sorbitol is apparently broken down by gut bacteria-- if you have them. If you don't or if you eat so much sorbitol to overwhelm the gut bacteria's processing, your liver will do the processing and it is there that it gets converted to fructose. And that is apparently hard on your liver and can give you liver disease.
But it is important to note that this study was conducted upon zebrafish.
Because human experience alone is too dull for a being existing in a vast universe with trillions of stars. Slip on the metaphysical shoes of some other creature every now and then and marvel how utterly alien human existence actually is. And we're just one tiny wet rock, spinning around an unremarkable star, in an out of the way spiral arm of an unremarkable galaxy among an endless sea of pinpoints of light.
Might drop phone into the shitty toilet! But if the camera is specifically designed for my toilet, can't drop it in! What an amazing product idea for people like me! Also, I don't tell you your hobbies are dumb. If you're curious, I have a graphed some data showing my normal distribution of bristol scale output for the last few years. Can't tell you how many times I've had to fish the phone out of the toilet to collect that data (don't worry, it's waterproof, so it gets rinsed off during the flush).
