@alpine_thistle what so its like an outsiders only fish fry?
@Cyborgneticz I do not have the gumption to haggle tbh
@Cyborgneticz makes sense
They can be kinda standoffish until they’ve decided you aren’t going to get weird about religion at them but they’re pretty cool after that
@Cyborgneticz that plus storage veggies & apples and some farms can sell produce all winter
@Cyborgneticz depends what he’s selling I guess? Tunnels should already have a good crop of winter greens & the beginnings of some early spring stuff like rhubarb
@Cyborgneticz oh yeah thats a thing! Moreso in PA than Maryland I think bc we’ve got a greater Amish / Mennonite population
@MicroSFF also, wonder what the atheists / agnostics on board think of the whole thing 😆
@MicroSFF eh its fine, he’s contractually obligated to show up at communion
@ljwrites and it starts so young they don’t even know the deal they’re making. It’s just the toys their grandparents buy them for christmas, the books their parents read at bedtime
@ljwrites I’ve thought about this before, in the context of movies & books about straight white men are advertised to everyone while a book about a woman, or a black person, is assumed to only be of interest to members of that group
Like, for some reason we’re training this particular fragment of society to deaden their empathy, that things are only relatable if there’s a literal stand in for them on the page. That’s gotta fuck you up

@rhiannonrevolts nice!
@netkitty *picks you up* hi kitten!
@platypus i usually don’t approve of individual responsibility framework environmentalism but that ones fair tbh
Maps, spatial orientation (& family)
@compostablespork i think i have a decent sense of direction but its very much not map based!
If you showed me a route on a map I’d probably remember like, the first three turns tops. But I can wander around NYC all day and know the whole time which way I need to go to get back to where I’m staying, like a compas needle or a homing beacon in the back of my mind

@rhiannonrevolts yeah oven temp gauges going funky at lower temps is part of why I haven’t attempted drying fruit myself. I hope it works out!

@rhiannonrevolts oh neat! What temp are you drying at?
Question about babies
@human_dude my understanding is that human babies are born comparatively earlier in the development process than animals that begin walking shortly after birth
So its not so much ‘is it beneficial for babies to be born with undeveloped coordination abities’ but ‘can we safely extend gestation to the point where they’d have that mobility’
re: cars as structural violence
idk I hate that I had to move to the most aggressively aggressively anti-pedestrian place I ever lived and I hate that everyone thinks this place is fine and normal, actually. And I hate that they’re right about it being normal even if its absolutely not fine because literally anywhere planned after the fifties is either exactly like this or worse
re: cars as structural violence
The frequency with which otherwise seemingly reasonable people complain about bikelanes or streeteries (park-lanes temporarily converted into outside dining as part of Philly’s COVID response, many restaurants put theirs in loading docks, aka not even legal parking spaces in the first place) because, bikes are *so* annoying & they’ve lost a few parking slots is unreal
