    You’re thinking of bigotry. White people don’t experience systematically unfavorable outcomes from the perception of their skin color.

    The difference between the right word and the almost-right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug.




  • Fruit juice has vitamins and other micronutrients, but it doesn’t necessarily have that elemental salt profile.

    Blackstrap is the good stuff, it’s got potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium, iron. Because of how it is produced, it has lots of the impurities of the sugar concentrated in it. Sorghum molasses is okay but not as good for this as blackstrap is. Take a look at the nutrition facts, and you’ll see a bunch of quantities for stuff that’s on the periodic table. I suspect various other concentrates might have similar properties.

    Typically I add maybe 20g molasses per liter of water, with another 10g of iodized salt or baking soda or cream of tartar (potassium hydrogen tartrate).

    I had a health condition for a while that had me carrying salt water on my person for a year, just as a precaution.













  • 60-65% of households in the USA are homeowners, either outright or through a mortgage. 80-90% of households in Eastern Europe are homeowners. It’s pretty clear that people who are perennial renters are mostly people who cannot clear the financial hurdle of a down payment. I don’t think the “some people don’t want to” line is a solid argument. It’s the exception thata proves the rule.

    The repairs and property taxes and mortgage all add up to a total that is less than the rent, on average. Otherwise, landlords would have a disincentive, and every landlord would be operating at a loss.

    The points you made are points that landlords use as justification for their occupation/position. Are you a landlord?





  • It would have been on a state-by-state basis, which is what we’re coming dangerously close to anyway.

    We don’t go around campaigning specifically to discourage people from voting. Our project is to get people to see beyond the seesaw spectacle.

    When someone offers you two poor options, the right thing to do is to create a better option, even if you take the less bad option in the short run. Voting a Democrat into office and then congratulating ourselves on doing it is how progress slips and how we lose sight of what’s needed.
