that poll going around of the guy who thought "people only eat tofu as a bit because they're deranged vegans" or whatever really crystalizes something that i have never been able to precisely say - which is "a nonzero fraction of people who start picky-eater discourse just happen to precisely hate those foods which are not from north america and refuse to introspect on this whatsoever"

In contrast some people say "there aren't any picky eaters in Asia 🙄" but this is laughably untrue. I have a cousin in India who refused until his 20s to eat anything in a sauce. as you can imagine in India this was difficult. he basically had to pick things out of curry and wipe them dry

dont store a knife with the point facing down, it damages the blade. no, dont do that either. when you store it with the point facing up you might accidentally hurt yourself when you try to grab it. dont store a knife at all actually. your blade must never leave your hand, always ready, ruthless and waiting. you know deep down that ever since you learned the stench of blood you will never be able to cast it aside. or just get a sheath for it i guess.

I bet it feels so good to have antennae and wiggle them around and like touch and sense stuff with them

Also the pattern I've seen is that they go from abusive behavior to... zero boundaries, call it gentle parenting, and dismiss the whole thing as if they actually tried a parenting technique rather than straight up neglecting their kids for a week just to prove a point.

This is exactly what happens when you talk to people about police/prison abolition. They just can't conceive that the absence of authoritarianism could be filled by something better.
