    And the enemies always attempt to leverage their perfectionism against them.

    Even if a liberal or progressive or leftist does something, there’s always gonna be some asshole that jumps out and is like, oh yeah, but did you think about this thing? Unfortunately, you are not perfect, therefore you are entirely invalid and should be derided.

    We’ve been watching the literal play out of the perfect as the enemy of the good for the last decade, and almost nobody has picked up on it, and we still have all of these stupid-ass divides when, in general, our goals align and we could worry about perfectionism after we’ve gotten rid of the cancer.



  • I’ll be honest with you, did not read the whole thing because of the subject matter.

    The main thing about writing is to write, so obviously you can write.

    But you need to think of things that people want to read and write that.

    One of my favorite childhood authors, Brian Jacques, wrote a book called Redwall, and the first 80% of the book you could tell by reading the writing that he struggled with every single step along the way.

    It was tedious reading what he wrote. But once he had written the first 200 pages or so, it all gelled together, and he found his stride, and all of the rest of his books zoom and flow.

    If you want to see if you can be a good writer, write. If you reach the point where your text flows and zooms, then you’ve got it.












  • From the 50s to the 90s, the US was in a massive wealth and growth cycle, and people demanded value for their money because the consumers had the power.

    That value was provided by large portion sizes for low cost, which normalized the idea of eating a large amount of food for every meal.

    Now we’re just sick and obese and used to it even though the nutritional quality of the food has dramatically plummeted.


  • They would still get jail just for getting caught planning it. Conspiracy to commit murder is a crime.

    Committing murder is a crime.

    Convincing other people to murder is a crime. All of the things associated with murder is a crime, and it does not matter what your circumstances are, you would still go to jail. If Stephen Hawkings had done any of the things you’re talking about and got caught, they would have put him in jail.



  • I am a huge fan of Bragg liquid aminos

    For some reason it tastes, to me, the way that I always wanted soy sauce to taste.

    A little bit salty, a little bit umami, and it’s a great thing to add onto meat dishes or soups.

    It’s also very good for sauteing mushrooms, just saute the mushrooms in butter, throw in some braggs, and then once the mushrooms are cooked, pour in a little red wine to deglaze the pan, and then cook that down until the red wine has evaporated.

    Makes the most delicious mushrooms I’ve ever had in my life.
