I have always wanted to meet somebody that’s clicked a targeted ad and bought the product. Even if I got an ad for something I wanted and it was a good price, I’d find a way to navigate around clicking it directly.

GMO’s create a societal harm, not a physiological one. Patenting a cultivar of a plant is a slippery slope, and we have already had quite a slide. In theory, if somebody works very hard to breed a new cultivar, they deserve to reap the rewards of that work and protect their creation. Okay, that makes sense. But if I have all the ingredients to breed that same cultivar, and do all the same work myself, should they be able to restrict my ability to profit? A step farther, and this is the reality we inhabit. Monsanto has created an environment where their patented corn seed is the best bet for a profitable harvest, but farmers are required to sign highly binding contracts with ridiculous stipulations. Beyond that, if a neighbor farmer dares to plant non patented seed, and the wind blows his neighbors Monsanto pollen (corn is wind pollinated) into his field and it pollinates his crop, he is now in patent violation of a company he has no business with that is now going to aggressively come after him in court. This is actually happening in the American Midwest.

I had pretty serious behavioral issues as a kid, mom put me on an exclusion diet designed by a kind of woo-y Dr, but I do think it helped. I guess people have lots of food “sensitivities” that might be tied to childhood behavior? I didn’t eat gluten, corn, milk, potatoes, tomatoes, and a bunch of less significant things for 18 months, than was reintroduced to those things slowly via tincture for 6 months. As an adult I still don’t really know what he was doing because the diagnosis involved holding 2 electrodes like an e meter but it did seem to have noticeable benefits to my behavior.
- Comment on Find what you like and stick with it 3 weeks ago:
I have a reduced appetite as an adult because of medical conditions, so it’s difficult to tell because I have a hard time eating anyway. I don’t have any food aversions and if I’m hungry will eat most anything. But like the other reply to my comment said, it resulted in a lot of unpleasant dinners. I was on a behavioral diet most of my childhood as well so that had a factor in it all too. I think having a standard, boring “second choice” might be a good idea, but also definitely just communicate about what they like and don’t like, children are capable of reason just not always encouraged into the ability.
- Comment on Find what you like and stick with it 3 weeks ago:
Don’t take no for an answer. What’s for dinner is what you get or you can go to bed hungry. My mom just didn’t put up with my bullshit and let me not eat my food if I didn’t want it but absolutely refused to let me have anything else until dinner was eaten. If I ate my dinner I could have whatever I wanted (in the house, which was pretty much all healthy food).

American cities have limited local rail networks, at least some. Like New York and Boston and err, the other ones…
- Comment on If you pay attention to panhandlers 4 weeks ago:
As much as I understand that panhandling pays decently, it always really affects me to see someone who’s come to the point where that seems like the best option. If I had the money I would happily give them some, but unfortunately I rarely do. And I know that reenforces the behavior and I shouldn’t, but haven’t beggars always been a part of human culture? I’m not here to change that, I just want to be able to think I might have helped someone who needed it.

- Comment on Rent is theft 5 weeks ago:
Most of the people that I have rented from have been pretty kind, decent folks. I lived in one apartment building, that definitely sucked, and one 3 level that was section 8 besides us, and that landlord was on the scummy side, but didn’t argue about fixing things. Other than that, just people renting their first house that was too small after a point and they bought another. And I bought my house from the last one 40k under market because we were good tenants and had become friends.
Are the people that sold me their extra house 40k off evil?

In Maine greys are almost rare, and reds are an absolute menace. I can’t even count how many have become a problem enough around the property to warrant dispatch, and I really dislike killing things. One chewed the hot wire to my shed which although a pain to repair, was quite a show.
