  • Absolutely, I also forgot to mention. Over sanitation, to the levels mentioned very— extremely, I cannot stress enough how brief of a mention it is—briefly on the quoted article are more of a concern for surgeons. Doing 25 surgeries on a day means scrubbing as many times. Sure, these doctors do develop skin issues due to over sanitation of hands. But your average Katie and Joe are not scrubbing to chirurgical sterile conditions when using some alcohol gel a couple times a day. They’ll be fine.

    Gut microbiota? That’s zero percent to do with washing hands and 100% with what you eat. Just eat a healthy, balanced and mostly fresh ingredients based diet. Get a ton of yogurt in there if you want to support your gut team. Not washing your hands will not give you good bacteria, but it will give you parasites that will absolutely fuck up your gut microbiome.

    People, just wash your damn hands.


  • Recent synthesis? From 2018?

    The study quoted doesn’t say anything of what the headline suggests. It’s a lab study on nitrate walls on a petri dish. Also quotes a study linking correlation (not causation) of higher anxiety with over sanitization of hands…during covid, when everyone had heightened anxiety. And the difference is not statistically significant.

    Sorry, but this one is a dud. None of the sources support the thesis of the essay. Just wash your gross hands.




  • The channel hat always been disingenuous. It’s not the first video they have where they develop a well written essay that has conclusions that make no sense with the information presented. It’s the theater of research without any of the substance. The editors just do whatever they want, under the expectations that the writing team will support their preconceived notion.

    They’re an entertainment channel, not a science communication channel. They have said some awful, totally not fact supported stuff in the past.


  • Uh, lots of really great painters have aphantasia. It’s very prominent in the population and 100% not a medical disability. Art is a skill. There’s people without arms that paint. Deaf people who make music. There’s blind people drawing. There’s this cool japanese girl without an arm that plays the violin. There’s all sorts of people who make art, because humans can’t not make art.

    Are you going to win prices and sell work for millions of dollars, or feature at the MOMA, or play at the Superbowl half time show? Or achieve any of the inane arbitrary goalpost that people like to set for calling stuff real art. Most assuredly you won’t. Because less than 0.1% of all the people in the planet will achieve any of that. But every single child has and will be born an artist. Every child draws, sings, dances and plays spontaneously. All that is art.

    If you think only people born artists can make art, congratulations, you were born an artists, every human is, go do your art. If you think only specific people with extraordinary characteristics get to make art. I’m sorry you were hurt so bad to develop such bleak worldview and poor self image.

    If you do art, you’ll get good at art. If you don’t do art and instead make the slop machine manufacture expensive Styrofoam for you to chew on, then you’ll never get good at art. Regardless of your biological makeup. Being shit at doing something is the first and mandatory step for becoming good at doing something. Do it poorly until you can do it decently, then do it some more. Art is the experience of doing art. Even bad art is superior to mass consumption generated pixels.




  • Part of the point of so many of Batman’s villains is that, to quote joker, it’s not about the money but about sending a message. Or holding power in many cases. Many of the most corrupt villains are not only bankrolling bribes, they are also blackmailing tons of people and many more live under threat to loved ones. Wayne just waltzing in and saying “I’ll pay you triple to be good” does nothing. Because if they don’t do the villain’s biding they will get murdered and their family will be slaughtered. Hence the need for a vigilante to disrupt the corrupt system with direct action. That’s the whole arc of Harvey Dent, for example. The system took him down in the worst possible way to shape him into another morally bankrupt psycho.


  • Because then you’re just describing Audacity. The concerning feature has to be intentionally activated by the user. And if you download and build it yourself then that part of the code isn’t even accessible. You have to modify the code to activate it before you build it. I’m actually glad with the way they handled it. They listen to the user base and if you follow tantacrul he regularly consults changes with the users.


  • Ok listen. That is the way governments want you to think in order to get away with erasing your right to privacy. It’s the old “I have nothing to hide” argument.

    But here’s the thing. You have a butthole. I have a butthole. Everyone in the planet has a butthole. Having a butthole is nothing to be ashamed of, it is not a crime to have a butthole. No one will prosecute you for having a butthole. But that doesn’t mean it is ok for the government to see everyone’s butthole. That’s your right to privacy.

    If you want to protect children, you turn to social scientists to understand the problems and identify the ways in which to catch and prosecute offenders. Weaponizing surveillance on everyone in order to catch a very tiny percentage of population who might be committing a crime is hurting everyone.

    Privacy is not about empowering pedos, it is about protecting everyone’s rights. Erode one right and you erode all rights. Once the system is in place, then political surveillance to destroy democracy and install fascism is what follows.

    Ironically, the global fascism is currently run by pedophiles.


  • You were raised right. What you are describing is the “fundamental attribution error” bias. As an interesting side point, you are doing it with this post right now.

    All humans tend to judge others more harshly than we judge ourselves. It is just the way our brains are wired. If it wasn’t that way, then your parents wouldn’t have needed to be so insistent on you being responsible and accountable. The fact is that, it is not a moral failure in itself. Everyone does it spontaneously and it takes a good deal of life experience and maturity to recognize it in oneself and to correct for it.

    This is a different point from institutional and cultural patterns that you identify as hypocrisy or irresponsibility. Corporations are not individuals so they can’t have morals. At most they can have ethical codes and people willing to police and enforce them. This is different from individual human morals.

    Setting a boundary is not an offense on others, nor is it judgement. Only entitled people feel attacked by other people protecting themselves. Being understanding and kind doesn’t mean being a doormat. Just because a boundary upsets you doesn’t mean it is ok to trespass it.

    I assure you we could watch anyone and judge them for their inadequacies and shortcomings.

    Why would you want to do that? that sounds mean and cruel.

    Just because everything is fucked and shit right now doesn’t mean we have to add to the pile or jump into the pit. When I feel cranky I don’t attack my friends, but instead I share with them that I’m feeling cranky and they usually help me by extending patience and understanding. It’s not judgement on my part to extend the same courtesy. Tell me when you are off, so I can help you. But being hungry doesn’t include a pass for becoming an asshole to everyone around you, that’s unacceptable.



  • I also tried tailscale in a docker container as a subnet handler and realized I was out of my depth. Net engineering is abstract and hard. There’s a reason there are pros making bank just doing that for big corps.

    Followed a way simpler setup. Now tailscale runs on the server bare metal and podman handles the routing automatically. I just use the magicDNS address given by tailscale and everything just works as intended. All my services are available, and apps run no issue, no matter where I am as long as I’m connected to tailscale. I will make the setup more complex as I learn more and acquire the need for more features. But so far this has met all my expectations.
