Salt.

• Nearly every recipe uses it
• infinite shelf life (durable)
• cheap as heck.

There are a lot of ways to interpret this question, it really depends on the information and the people.

Hence why OP is asking for better ways to communicate.

:P

Books, not just reading but long form text. If someone doesn’t want listen, then they won’t even if they pretend otherwise.

So if a talented author puts out a message, the reader has to continually choosing to read, intake and process what is being communicated. It’s easy to tune out of conversation, videos or lectures without realizing it. But if you make it to the end of the page and don’t know what just happened, it’s entirely at your discretion to go back and reprocess. Infinitely repeatable while requiring constant buy-in without the concept of just waiting out the duration while thinking of other things. To my mind, if you want to understand a complex idea than books are easily the best method.

Does a performative obviously bullshit apology after he specifically set out to rub baby oil all over “comfort women” statues. Just like he did in Japan where he apologized, promised to stop streaming, left the country, deleted the apology, immediately went back to being an ass.

Turbo fuck him.

I’m the friend. Curiosity is hot, in every sense of the word.

These are the same people mad at “woke” games for not having white charcters. Their enormous amount of privliage has made them utterly blind to history or context.

I hate it here. 🙃

(as is most biologists) that we are omnivores.

No vegans dispute this. In fact that is a large reason we point that meat is not a necessity to a healthy diet like many claim.

But fundamentally I’m not here to talk about veganism. You are entitled to your own beliefs, I only wanted to provide a complete answer to the “hypocritical vegans” comment that appears in every thread paints feeling pain. While I personally think deciding that things are most “humane” when they are “efficient” for you regardless of the effect it has on others is selfish and motivated reasoning, thus unethical. But this thread nor community is a place to discuss ethics, I clearly illuminated why equating plant rights and animal rights is silly, so frankly I would just like to end the discussion there. Thanks.

If you think pigs, chickens and cows have the same level of awareness and perception as broccoli, tomatoes or potatoes than you’re the potato.

Humans have to eat and with the exception of a few minerals like salt, everything edible to humans is alive on some level. Vegansisn is making an ethical choice about reducing what causes the most pain fear and suffering in another. If I were to develop cancer, a tape worm or a virus should I also allow those living things to thrive as well or does “Uh, now what?” also apply to antibiotics?

Okay, so I like bummer movies.

The Worst Person in the World

Might be my new favorite. Tells the story of a womans life over the course of several years. I adore this format where you can see realistic problems unfold, how relationships were doomed from the start and how others can be repaired with time. I’m sure there are people who would say it’s boring and nothing major happens. But, isn’t that life? We all create our own drama.

I don’t think she is the worst person in the world. But I understand what she might think that of herself.

Club Zero

A slow burn horror about toxic flawed faith in extreme diet culture. Did you know that you don’t ACTUALLY need to eat? Companies just TELL you that to sell you more food. It takes legitimate criticism of consumerism well past what I thought was extreme. Fantastic yet tragically plausible.

August: Osage County

Lots of big names doing A+ performances, a brutal story of a strained dysfunctional family finally breaking when their father disappears. When your parents do nothing but sow discord and cruelty they’ll only reap chaos and heartbreak. The abject cruelty is hard to stomach at points, but it fosters the payoff as the family learns to stand up for themselves.

Which is totally understandable and justifiable, even if there was no sensitive info on this particular call. Zero tolerance is the reasonable stance, not trying to criticize the firing. Just sorta curious why anyone would bother to record and post it in the first place. Like, wtf were they even thinking?

Was the call noteworthy in someway? Like a prank or something? Or was management just worried about some breach of privacy?

Well then I have done good in the world today. Robin’s performance ALONE is fantastic but honestly the whole cast goes above and beyond. Enjoy!

Mafia and Goverment are the same thing at different scales, social order established from a central unit that enforces their will via violence funded by protection money/taxes Just as “cults” eventually become religion at a critical mass, then your fringe beliefs become legitimate church doctrine.

All the rules of the world are made up and only apply if enough people say and act as they apply. Justice is a point of view, not a inherent truth.

Death to Smoochy, my dark comedy about the mafia world inside of children’s TV show is utterly fantastic and I will not be taking questions.

Oh… sure, okay, done! My streak will remain at 0.

This was the easiest picket line not to cross.

I mean it’s a genocide, not a war. And Harris absolutely has not said she would cease arming Isreal, she is less outspoken than Biden but there is no indication she would end anything.

But Trump gave gift after gift to Isareal the first time and has said he would send more armaments. He without question would make things worse so Harris is the only sane ethical choice.

I agree it’s a simple choice but we need to be realistic that Harris isn’t some peace panacea.

It’s not hard to find a common thread in all Middle Eastern countries…

Sweetie, this was my point. Your link proves my point.

Please calm down and actually try to absorb what I’m telling you. This is basic history IF you care to learn it. I know it’s easy to fall in to xenophobia but the world is more complicated than just saying certain groups are universally evil.

It’s the US fault that Islamic extremists are the goverment.

I thought Islam was the religion of peace?

Most Christians are peaceful, but if an outside country destabilized the US democratic and republican party then placed the KKK in power, their version of Christianity would be what America lives under. Exactly as it happened in various middile eastern countries.

This isn’t a consisparcy or anything, it’s basic history of the region freely available on Wikipedia. Saying anything else is just ignorance.

The Iranian revolution (where fundamentalist Islam / Sharia took over the country) was a direct fallout from the Shah, (the US puppet dictator) losing power after exploiting his country for US interests (cheap oil) for nearly four decades. He died in exile while everyone in Iran accused each other of being secretly western puppets and then naturally the religious traditionalist were above these accusations.

This isn’t a conspiracy theroy or anything, it’s all extremely on the record but so few Americans know or give a shit. Simmiliar story everywhere in the region. Religious fundamentalist extremism wasn’t the norm for the longest time until US intervention.
