Outside, against the wall, alone. At least that’s where I sat in high school. So, maybe with the wasps?

So lemme guess, sex outside of marriage should be illegal? Is that where you’re going with this?

It’s not easy.

Don’t smoke, don’t drink, don’t use recreational drugs.

No sugar, no processed foods. Make all your own meals from the freshest ingredients you can afford, mostly vegetables. Food is not entertainment, food is not reward.

Avoid antibiotics in your cleaning products and food, so when you need them to save your life, they work better.

Exercise, move, get up off your ass.

Pay attention to your body, don’t avoid doctors because you don’t want bad news. The longer you wait, the worse it gets. The older you get, the more issues you have. Doing the previous things above, makes this part much easier.

Put yourself first, if you don’t take care of yourself, you can’t take care of anyone else.

I was late to the Flat Earth thing, I assumed it started as satire for a couple of years after hearing about it, but didn’t pay it any attention. I was disappointed to learn that it was not satire, and too many (more than zero) believed it was true.

On the upside, I suppose, I now am more aware of just how fucking stupid people can be, and that’s good. Gotta keep your guard up when meeting new people, ya never know, ya know?

It’s a continuum, of course, like everything. Most people sit somewhere in the middle, with a few people defining the extremes.

No, most people are not horrible.

That is exactly how it looks. The timing is correct. I can imagine the argument, although, they might not have loved each other enough to even argue about it by that point.

My education system didn’t fail me, I failed it.

With bacon? It’s gotta have bacon, right?

The entire pyramid collapses if consumers don’t consume.

I’ll get rid of chairs. Ottomans, which are not chairs, would be arranged around the tables for some reason. My ottomans have a vertical panel for a foot rest. It’s definitely a foot rest and not a chair, though. Chairs were banned.

“STOP THROWING APPLES AT US! WE HAVE PhDs!”

Chat, is this true?

The other night, I saw a weird spider on the bathroom mat while I was doing my business. The bathroom was lit only by a night light, so I could barely make it out. It was larger than our usual resident spiders, and writhing around like I had stepped on it and hurt it. I finished, stood up, and turned the light on to see the spider better. It wasn’t there. Apparently, spider hallucinations are common.

Several years ago now, I was talking to my girlfriend at the time about an argument we’d had about a week earlier. She listened for a minute and then said, “We never argued about that, where were we?” I told her we were in my car in my garage. She’d not been to my house up to that point. I realized I had dreamt it, but I completely and fully believed it was a real memory, but it simply could not have been. I freaked out for a few days when I read that people often confuse dreams for real memories. I now question which other of my memories are just past dreams. Why would trust any of my memories now, when any number of them might just be old dreams?

Gabe’s company isn’t publicly owned, but he clearly made his billions putting his money into the stock market, probably hedge funds.

On my walk this morning, I thought about Vulcans embracing logic to overcome their violent, angry nature. I think we’d need to do something like that to be accepted into any rational space-faring society. Sadly, that is beyond our ability as a species. I think Earth will need to wait for the next intelligent species to arise after we kill ourselves off to have any chance.

How to play a scale on a Theremin. This is Carolina Eyck, she demonstrates her technique for playing a scale on the Theremin that she invented and which has become the standard way to play the instrument. It took all these years for someone to figure this out.

Sponsor Block–Skips some YouTube ads.

Language Tool–keeps me from making stupid grammar errors.

Cookie Quick Manager–you can lock cookies and other stuff.

So, like plain water, then?

Can’t put it science, they’ll gripe, “Why is this fluff cluttering up my feed?!”

It fits well enough in Science Memes, tho.

The guys who make appliance repair videos and sell the exact part you need, and you can get the part number and find it cheaper somewhere else. But, thanks for the video.
