« on: May 28, 2024, 02:26:13 am »Democracy works ok when the people are educated. If not, well...What does being educated have to do with being unselfish? The problem isn't lack of education... in fact, the most oppressive are generally highly educated relative to the masses.
Are the most highly educated generally the most oppressive as a class, though?
Can we invoke historical precent?

General Discussion / Re: Gardening with herbal magicks!
« on: May 16, 2024, 10:52:14 pm »So, I've been introducing a friend to spicy food, and she's shown a remarkable tolerance for it (for a Norwegian), and decided to be pretty tough one day when she was out with some other friends, so she ordered the "spicy" curry option at the place they went to.
Turns out this place was one of only a handful in this country that makes actually spicy food if you ask for it, and she ended up with a dish that was not only far beyond her level, but that had a whole-ass Carolina Reaper pepper on it as garnish.
And, to try and "get back" at me for encouraging her to do all this, she got the dish to go and brought it to me... On a whim, I decided to try and extract the seeds to see if I could get anything to sprout. They're probably terminator/irradiated, but there was nothing to lose so why not? But after planting, all the pots were empty, barren... For weeks, nothing happened.
...until something did start sprouting in the one pot, which I figured might've been some other random seed/sprig/whatever that'd gotten in there.
Yeah, nah. Funny thing about Reaper plants; you can smell the capsaicin on the damn leaves.
A lot of chilis/similar seeds are sun-activated and might do better if you put them on the surface of the pot instead of in it

Middle one is almost directly overhead. Appeared to be about 10-15° off vertical, but I can't measure that objectively. Fluctuations appeared to be propagating from outside inwards around it. Really funky. Tried to take a video but it turned out grainy garbage, apparently this camera just can't do video in the dark
woah

I've always thought that the societal setup in Starship Troopers seemed like it was supposed to be an "ancient Greece democracy, but what if the future???" thing

They should just do what Astrid Lindgren did and write about death and disease instead. That's why she's such a beloved children's author!

I still think I have some form of grave adhd, even if the guys in charge disagree. I wish I had been slapped with a label, maybe then I'd actually be a functional person with a future.
