feedum_sneedson,

I use the metric system for both, and I’m from the UK. I don’t even know my weight in stone anymore, but a stone is just 14 pounds, like how 16 ounces fit into a pound. It has about as much to do with a real stone as a foot in distance has to do with the foot on your leg. Or a metre with a parking meter.

feedum_sneedson,

IT’S GOING TO BE OKAY

feedum_sneedson,

For sure a good six months of perfect training and diet, plus the steroids, AND the water manipulation.

feedum_sneedson,

I give Brandon Sanderson a hard time for being a bit shit, but I enjoyed the premise of this book.

Fat shaming? On Lemmy? I expected better.

edit: better fat shaming, I mean.

Better to think of natural capital and human labour being the two sources from which all value (in the sense of productivity) is ultimately derived. The soil is natural capital, the fertiliser is both (i.e. a mined and processed mineral resource), the rotation is human labour. Then the knowledge to reproduce this process in the correct manner is also critical.

feedum_sneedson,

No, natural capital is - soil particularly.

feedum_sneedson,

Do you know, I’m not convinced that’s the etymology at all.

feedum_sneedson,

It’s in the username!

Apparently this is largely a myth, somebody did try it on a single occasion but it doesn’t actually work to spread smallpox. That guy was clearly an arsehole, but yeah, apparently it wasn’t a thing. I don’t know how important this is given the near total genocide of the Native Americans, but it’s funny how some things become “common knowledge” and some things never really get out. Soap made of Jews is another one - it was apparently an urban legend at the time due to the letters written on the rationed bars of soap. Again, more than enough evil to go around without the soap. It does seem that one insane commandants wife collected people’s tattooed skin and likely did make a lampshade out of human skin. People say that didn’t happen, but there’s a pretty convincing photograph out there of all the seized items at one camp. Can’t remember why I started talking about this, think I was trying to distract myself from a stomachache.

“That’s some act, what do you call it?”

“The Social Sciences!”

feedum_sneedson,

Yes, but that’s a different word. I just don’t feel it’s good enough. If they’d said something about having all your Basques in one exit, then we’d be onto something.

feedum_sneedson,

I don’t understand why this is a joke. You know a Basque isn’t a type of soup.

feedum_sneedson,

I thought he like, grabbed their necks and killed them while trying to stop himself falling over. I agree it’s unclear what is going on.

Virginia college students are running a thrift store for transgender and nonbinary people (www.advocate.com)

Transgender people looking to change up their wardrobes are often met with financial barriers. At a private college in Virginia, LGBTQ+ students are working to break down those walls with a no cost food and clothing pantry....

feedum_sneedson,

Binders and binders full of women. But you’d never know!
