It was a burger I ate when the chef was going to kill us all.

Each and every one of the creatures we descended from, stretching all the way back to the beginning of life on Earth, has survived by killing before being killed. We are the final product of a string of millions of killers.

1·1 year agoTreat them how you would wish to be treated when you are old, forgetful, stubborn, deaf, and slower. Getting old can suck. It’s angering. It hurts. They are humans with emotions. Don’t forget that.
71·1 year agoMarketing and advertising. They show a huge, juicy, scrumptous nice quality burger. You go to buy it and it’s a cold, limp, tiny, frail nothing burger.
There used to be a law about false advertising. But it doesn’t seem to be enforced anymore. Marketing and advertising can lie straight to your face. Its not right and shouldnt be tolerated.
And Americans are so complacent about it, they say things like, “It’s , what’d you expect?” Instead of demanding what was advertised. It’s soul crushing. It’s like we’ve given up.
It isn’t like anything. One moment you are counting down, the very next moment you are waking up. Time does not pass for you. It’s one instant (counting down) to the next (waking up.) It’s very strange. Like you skipped through time. Like you magically moved forward in time instantaneously. You will never have memories from when you are under.
I like the last one. Interesting to think about.
You make choices, but in the end, choices really make you.
So for like 600 months. That’s 50 years for a decent house. When 50 years roll around, it’ll be far more than that so you’ll have to keep saving but you’ll never get there.
A lot of wealthy individuals “park” their money in things like real estate and art. For the art, they safely pack it away in warehouses. There’s a whole industry that’ll do it for you. A lot of them dont even see the art. It’s just a wealth parking vehicle.
Another avenue is starting one or more non-profits and philanthropy organizations for the money.
And another is a living trust, to avoid probate when you die, to maximize the inheritance for your surviving beneficiaries.
These are my favorites.
Daniel and Jorge Explain the Universe
- A fun-filled discussion of the big, mind-blowing, unanswered questions about the Universe. In each episode, Daniel Whiteson (a Physicist who works at CERN) and Jorge Cham (a popular online cartoonist) discuss some of the simple but profound questions that people have been wondering about for thousands of years, explaining the science in a fun, shorts-wearing and jargon-free way.
- Science, pop culture, and comedy collide on StarTalk Radio! Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist and Director of New York’s Hayden Planetarium, and his comic co-hosts, guest celebrities, and scientific experts explore astronomy, physics, and everything else there is to know about life in the universe. New episodes premiere Tuesdays. Keep Looking Up!
- Unexplainable takes listeners right up to the edge of what we know … and then keeps right on going. This Vox podcast explores scientific mysteries, unanswered questions, and all the things we learn by diving into the unknown. New episodes every Wednesday.
- A history podcast looking at the collapse of a different civilization each episode. What did they have in common? Why did they fall? And what did it feel like to watch it happen?
- With millions of downloads, hundreds of hours of soundtracked content, and an overall emphasis on the cultural history behind famous works of literature, Literature and History is one of the most popular independent podcasts on its subject. Starting with Sumerian cuneiform in 3,100 BCE, Literature and History moves forward in chronological order through Assyriology, Egyptology, the Old Testament, Ancient Greece and Rome, and the birth of Christianity. The show’s current season is on Late Antiquity (or 200-700 CE) and the dawn of the Middle Ages. A typical episode (they average about two hours) features a general introduction to a work of literature, then a full summary of that work that expects no prior knowledge, and finally, an analysis of the cultural, biographical, and historical forces that gave rise to the work in question. Original symphonic and ambient background music is woven throughout each show, and all episodes offer free full, illustrated, footnoted transcriptions as well as quizzes for purposes of review. The show has no advertisements, and its host takes pride in a professional approach that avoids chitchat and ephemera and gets straight to the educational content. You can listen to the episodes in any order, although most listeners begin at the beginning and proceed from there, as the podcast itself is chronologically organized. Doug Metzger finished his Ph.D. in literature in 2011. His chief scholarly interest, following his dissertation work, continues to be 19th-century realism and postbellum American philosophy.
I sometimes use this one called InviZible Pro on F-Droid. Have you ever used that? In addition to whole system TOR, it also has Purple I2P and DNSCrypt. Was wondering why one would use one over the other regarding whole system TOR? Just curious.
Good one!

What’s the difference between Orbit and Tor Browser? I always wondered why people download Orbot instead of Tor Browser?
1·1 year agoThat’s how I pronounce it, just to be weird. I also say ja-lap-oh-no and kay-so-dilla.
6·1 year agoSome perspective would always be nice, or a distance legend. Like, could you see a human from that distance? A football stadium? A banana?
