fatphobia and ableism in the romanticization of non-industrialized health outcomes
@ljwrites definitely a bit eugenics, but also it reminds me a bit of the fremen mirage (the idea that civilized society will inevitably become decadent and weak and then be overrun by manly men from less developed countries) which is notoriously both racist and sexist
so really its the whole trifecta
@futzle personally i’m hoping for ranked choice type instant runoff polls
@pastelsinmysky the kids seemed decently into it last year—I figure they’re getting enough candy from everyone else that a savory snack is a welcome change lol
@pastelsinmysky our neighborhood doesn’t have a lot of kids but it does have a lot of generous retirees so we have developed a reputation as one of the better neighborhoods to visit for trick or treating in the city
which is to say i bought two hundred snack bags of doritos at costco to give out and this is probably not enough
@pastelsinmysky yayyy! our fall decorating hasn’t been that extensive, but we DID change the porch lights out for orange ones at least
@Forestofglory that’s what cookie swaps are for i feel like
@everybodyvotes usually false dichotomies are at least plausible opposites, but i would never dip a room temperature (aka not right out of the oven) choc chip cookie in milk, despite being perfectly happy to eat one plain or eat them hot out of the oven *with* milk
@JessMahler @ljwrites @nev it is in fact well known that increasing capacity for car traffic does not actually reduce traffic — instead you just get even more cars on the road and thus more traffic (one citation, but you can find lots of studies on this https://ncst.ucdavis.edu/research-product/increasing-highway-capacity-unlikely-relieve-traffic-congestion )
increasing capacity for bike or public transit however, ironically, *does* actually reduce congestion, so these changes benefit even people who wish to continue driving.
so really the only people benefitting from getting rid of bike lanes are gasoline companies paying for all the fuel wasted on gridlock each day
@rowyn i didn’t realize the house could turn itself into multiple buildings? for some reason this is the point where i am now having questions about how sentient houses work 😂
@angelwood why is the S backwards?
@Lucy @wallhackio historically they looked much more like eggs we’ve just fucked them up w/selective breeding
@rowyn i suppose both the weird and the magical are currently unconfirmed, though the house rearranging itself part definitely counts as both
re: nonsense
@pho4cexa the pumpkins get VERY large and weird looking
nonsense
@pho4cexa isn’t this just what the people who feed pumpkins milk for giant pumpkin contests do
@pomological noticing how much more edible the red delicious apples in this painting look than their modern cousins i ended up reading up a bit on the history of the variety. somewhat unusually for apples it seems that the trade name red delicious has been used for over 300 cultivars!
so now i am curious as to 1) whether the original “hawkeye” delicious (described as “a round, blushed yellow fruit of surpassing sweetness”) still exists at all and 2) which of the many varieties of delicious branded apple varieties this is — it is perhaps too red to be the original?
Trans Cake Day report
@twistylittlepassages looks tasty!
@gnomon what is your spaghetti squash sales pitch? i have yet to see it prepared in a way i enjoy but i would be willing to believe this is just execution error
@Lady @wallhackio i agree but also sometimes it is better to just go for the site you can start using immediately first and then upgrade later
