  • “That’s not what I said”

    That’s literally what you said, that restricting bodily autonomy through legislation was a performance piece.

    If the religious extremists are going to restrict women’s civil rights and bodily autonomy, the rational lawmakers should also be restricting men’s civil rights and bodily autonomy.

    this is a very practical solution.

    “Two wrongs don’t make a right”

    that isn’t what’s happening.

    they are fighting fire with fire.

    they are backburning to stop the wildfire destroying civil rights because of religious extremists and oligarchs that have been elected or appointed.

    “Since you’re so sure this isn’t purely performative”

    it isn’t. this legislation prohibiting female bodily autonomy already happened.

    raped children are being forced to keep their rape babies.

    women are dying in the parking. lots of hospitals.

    they are being bounty hunted for seeking medical care.

    That’s not performative. those are real life effects of these people. you want to allow to steal civil rights, including basic human dignity.

    shame on you.





  • every way, haha.

    a few of my favorites are:

    1. I love to jerky heart, so I’ll cut it into very thin ~2-3mm slices, marinate it in soy sauce and brown sugar to taste for 8 hours and then put it on a tray over a box fan and air dry it, it is my favorite jerky.

    i bought a counter deli meat slicer just for jerky after I made so much, and it was totally worth it.

    heart meat is very flavorful but doesn’t have any fat running through it, so it’s really easy to get a lot of good, flavorful slices for jerky, because you can’t really jerky fat, or rather the drying process for fat isn’t worth it to me.

    1. Hot pot, ~1 mm slices(deli meat slicer), Just a big old plate piled high with slices of heart, throw a quarter or half block of Hot pot base into a rice cooker, get your other dishes, once The hot pot is simmering, enjoy.

    2. stir fry: cut as thin or thick as you like. I really like the flavor of the meat itself with heart, so I will slice pretty thick, ~6mm, Chuck it in a pan with some onions for a couple minutes, Cook to your liking with some beef tallow/oil, and then at the end throw in the flavoring and shut off the heat and mix it in. I’ve taken to pre melting a 1x1 in block of hot pot base and pouring that on right at the end mixing it onto the stir fry.

    this type of hot pot base, the brand isnt too important as long as it looks similar to this:








  • Heuristic processing, determination based on induction rather than certainty.

    let’s use “on the roof again” by as an example, a 90s pop punk song.

    ask your brain “who made this song?”

    very rapidly it goes

    music people!

    not all music people.

    and discards bands who definitely don’t sound like it: instrumental bands, classical music, slower love ballads, female singers (since the lead singer is a male in this case).

    and now there’s a way smaller pool to choose from, so your brain keeps going, matching broad strokes to the broad strokes you remember from the song you’re thinking of, until one band sticks out as the most likely candidate, and usually at the end you can stick that determination to a specific memory you have of looking at the album cover while you listen to the song, or some concrete moment in which a line struck you and that more concrete memory helps confirm your final answer.

    this is also why people can remember things “for sure” that turn out to be incorrect, because they’ve gone through the heuristic process and determined a most likely answer that may not be correct, because it takes much less processing power and time to heuristically determine an answer rather than specifically determining it answer, and heuristic processing does work well most of the time.



  • They aren’t!

    Two things:

    1: Americans are not actually very litigious relative to other countries, what you’re referring to is a culture projected by corporate interests violating the rights of individual Americans, interests invested in telling American citizens that they are too litigious, resulting in citizens who will therefore abstain from legally defending their rights when those rights are violated, which is happening constantly and to a degree that Americans should be far more litigious than they are.

    2: legal advertising became legal less than 50 years ago in the United States, because it’s obviously unethical and societally harmful. at this point, legal advertising is basically unregulated in the US.

    Because The US allows legal commercials and advertisements on billboards and very importantly, American culture is the salient exported culture globally, lawsuits seem wider spread in the US and US culture than they actually are.




  • “so if there was a smile”

    there is, as seen above and demonstrated in further detail below.

    “why did the edited poster have to have one edited in?”

    it appears they wanted a wider, more obvious smile and obviously wanted a different lip color.

    maybe she likes big smiles.

    and a different sky color for unknowable reasons.

    “She is not smiling in that photo.”

    Yes, she is.

    here is cynthia not smiling, a resting face:

    and here is Cynthia smirking with one corner of her mouth, a very obvious homage to the tilted animated smirk:

    maybe you don’t see a lot of smiles regularly?

    you seem unfamiliar with their properties.
