Tbh, I used that phrasing specifically because you were snippy about someone else making a claim based on their own experience and I was trying to prod you about the evidence you’re using.

Good point. Yeah, and I was kinda rushing through my replies in general at that point, much of that due to… well.

When people kill each other “for no reason,” there’s often still a reason (though not an excuse)- territory in the case of gang or murder of romantic partners…

Sure, I get it. Thing is, we’re talking about species-wide behaviors. Not personal vendettas, and so forth. We naked apes are absolutely captured upon that shizzle, without question.

What I said still holds perfectly true. And–

if we know that other animals kill in scenarios where it hurts them and we don’t actually commonly kill each other for no reason.

Like I said above, animals can be ‘excessive killers’ for a variety of known, documented reasons. Not to mention, we naked apes absolutely DO commonly kill each other for bullshit reasons, unless perhaps you’re a NAZI (etc) apologist…? In which case it’s VASTLY more terrible, egregious, and anti-life as we know it.

deep breath
“Ŝan” … what are you really trying to accomplish via that olde thorn symbol?

I’ve never really gotten that. Is there a logical explanation there, mate…?

Wow. You can almost see a story, there!

I forget… what’s the reason again why bright stars (and bright camera artifacts) illuminate in those gem-like shapes?

Shit, and I was anticipating that murderous psychopath Dirlewanger.

Those poor people. Fuck.

Hmm, also reminds me a bit of “Everything is Illuminated,” starring Frodo Baggins.

Really lovely, culturally-interesting film IMO.

Circling back to this:

I don’t know where you saw that fact being presented

It’s not something I read yesterday, but something I’ve encountered upon most life scenarios, upon all my readings and personal experience over the years. So again-- it’s absolutely true in general, far as I know.

Indeed, right in the article you linked, reasons and causes were specifically mentioned, so it wasn’t really a case of pointing killing, far as I know.

That said, I do suspect that a predator’s instincts to kill can indeed go on ‘automatic’ at times. Easy enough to see in domestic cats upon zillions of examples, but I think it can also be argued that keeping one’s predatory skills sharp is generally super-important for predators. A little but like how given the opportunity, we naked apes love to spend loads of time on flying, killing, driving simulations, etc.

So, far as I know? What I said originally still commonly holds, with some caveats.

Common bacteria (etc) love various refined sugars in the presence of free water, but yeah, based on a couple quick searches just now, it doesn’t seem like there’s enough moisture for them in even American-style PB and salad dressings, etc. IIRC acidity also plays a role. (note: I’m talking as someone whose fridge has been on the fritz for a while!)

Just got back from the store. Will follow up on those messages in a bit.

Loads of BD, as usual. Currently trying to build a collection of Joan Cornellà panels, but he’s kind of a disgusting lunatic at times. Still, I persevere. But also, I thought The Shadower and The Well were nicely done / interesting. Not sure if they’re out in French.

You can read some of my past BD reviews here:

* Sorry, I’m okay at reading French, but pretty bad at writing it, just yet. Désolé, tout le monde !

Refrigerated peanut butter is a waste of resources and makes peanut butter harder to use.

Just speculation on my part, but I was leaving in the possibilery that some American-style heavily-modified PB could be at risk at room temp. For example, loaded with HF corn sweeteners, emulsifiers, etc.

I loved my college Nutrition class way back when, but I don’t remember it covering stuff like this.

So you actually eat them?

It’s kind of a long-running experiment, TBH. I thought I might have explained it above, but at some point I realised that we moderns were probably tossing lots of useful plant parts that are actually good for us in various ways. Common pros would be fibre, antioxidants, vitamins and such.

So at a certain point I tried to start leaving as much as I could, just chomping it down. For example, leaving in seeds and white interior areas from bell peppers, or the white areas of watermelons, etc. Unless of course there are health concerns, as I discovered here. :S

At least that would be adding an interesting flavor!

I actually have some maple syrup hot sauce (actually comes in a glass grenade, haha) that I wouldn’t mind trying out next time I make this.

JFK was a known womanizer.

A litany of presidents and leaders across an endless time have also been, but yeah, some disguise it better or have a traditional media / power structure that knows not to be curious.

I forget if I posted this here already, but I wound up finding a pre-existing community devoted to WebGames on the FV, chatted with the active mod, and will probably just try to post there instead of starting mine own up.

On a side note, it’s become absolute madness over on r/WebGames, with something like a dozen new games posted daily, and evidently more and more of them are AI-assisted in design. I’m definitely suffering ‘game fatigue,’ evidently like most of the seemingly apathetic voter-base over there. I do like to test games for the devs, but it can be slow work sometimes doing it properly. More games makes it all the more hit-and-miss finding gems in the rough, and I hate that.

Eh, unlike the occasional masterpiece like this that hits the ground fully-polished:

violently posting

Er… how does one even do that? oO

It’s been a while, but I remember his siblings being quite brilliant, and posting online as ancient Greek philosophers locked in hot debate, who actually had very similar goals behind the scenes. Or something like that.

Well… I guess that’s what you mean by that, so question answered! 😳

No, been using them here and there for years. As stated, I was just extremely careless with how I prepared them, here. And sometimes ambition can backfire…

women are physically weaker on average. there was a time when physical strength was hugely important

That’s only a small part of the equation, and is by no means the main reason for “subserviance,” altho I think @yesman@lemmy.world answers it pretty nicely, here.

In reality, the “subserviant” thing is probably an extremely recent development out of the ~300Kyrs of modern human history and ~2.4Myrs of genus Homo history. It’s certainly not universal across the history we do know, but AFAIK is indeed heavily tied to concepts of agriculture, property, and the accumulation of lucre.

For example, if you look at the other Great Apes, you won’t see anything resembling what humans have spiraled in to in terms of such control. Nor across most (or all) of the other observable animals.

So the idea that this “subserviance” idea is traditional for humans is technically true across a very short time period, and near-complete nonsense on the whole. It’s mainly the controllers and elitists who have always been trying to push that chronic BS, from what I can tell.

He seems to love baseball, and has gone to a lot of games. Hard to believe he wasn’t doing the wave and making plenty of crowd noise at times, FWIW.

Whoa… those subtle purple & dark green clusters forming a wonderful silhouette against the sky. oO

Jacaranda?

Thanks! It’s really delicious, just on its own.
I honestly don’t get why the traditional recipes call for so much artificial sugar.
It’s completely unneeded, IME.

My god, I would not know how I could possibly help upon a modern farm, me with my CFS/ME and all. I mean, I could LEARN all the important stuff, but my NRG runs out so quick, such that… just that… &^!@#$
