intensely_human,

I’ve done this. It never crossed my mind other people didn’t. You have some butter nearby and you’re eating crackers? You put the butter on the crackers.

It’s like finding a thread where people are going “Try butting butter on the toast. I know it sounds weird [no?] but you gotta try it.” and others “Oh yeah my grandma used to do that”

intensely_human,

“I kinda like it actually”

“Shut up, Nart”

“But —“

“It’s a horrible life”

intensely_human,

I just realized I’ve never tried butter on an apple. Butter on fruit generally.

intensely_human,

What’s the best analogy or wording you’ve found for conveying the nature of the problem to people?

intensely_human,

They are ILLEGAL, DANGEROUS, and NONEXISTENT. Get it straight!

intensely_human,

One of my biggest disabilities is my inability to throw a game I’m playing. I just can’t do it

intensely_human,

I have this problem with the board game Go.

It has a perfect handicap system, and the game sucks if you don’t use the correct handicap, but I simply can’t get people to play me with a handicap because they think it’s shameful. They want to play me without a handicap, then I mop the floor with them.

But we can have a really good game that’s really engaging if we use a handicap.

intensely_human,

God I wish I could do ranked sex, and always be placed with opponents my own level.

You and me, baby. Bronze 3 division.

intensely_human,

ABC here

intensely_human,

Eddie Gordo wins again!

intensely_human,

“Uh actually it’s pronounced Gilbert. Get it right you dirty bitch. Gil, Bert. Just like that”

intensely_human,

Ugh. Nothing is more tone deaf to human culture than telling a person there’s a room down the hall dedicated to telling jokes.

intensely_human,

I only step on certain points on my floor because of how creaky the boards are

intensely_human,

Pretty sure sound isolation is a factor in LEED rating

intensely_human,

The problem is the information isn’t available. There’s no place to leave reviews of apartments. That seems like a no-brainer to me.

intensely_human,

Perhaps LEED should be replaced by a bunch of smaller certifications, each covering only a tiny subset.

It is nice to have one logo you can stick on a building, instead of lots of them. But after a little pushing it could be normalized to have a spot for multiple plaques near the entrance of a building, showing which certs it has earned.

Then you have a lower bar for entry and owners can choose a la carte what they want to strive for, and disregard the rest.

Like, a sound isolation rating on an apartment building would be a huge selling point. Have a certifying company that brings in big speakers and microphones and tests room-to-room sound conduction. Then you get a certification for the soundproofing.

I guess the nice thing about private cert authorities is anybody can just do this. It would take a while to get recognized but you could solve the two-sided marketplace problem pretty easily.

People buried at 'mega' stone tombs in Spain were defleshed and their bones fractured after death (www.livescience.com)

Archaeologists in Spain have discovered evidence that ancient people defleshed and dismembered corpses around 6,000 years ago. But these aren’t clues to an ancient murder: Instead, the bone injuries are more likely related to funerary practices that occurred just after death....

Probably cannibals taking advantage of the bone marrow

intensely_human,

Before they had saved game state they had “warp codes” that you’d enter to start the game at a later point than the beginning.

People, not the climate, found to have caused the decline of the giant mammals (phys.org)

For years, scientists have debated whether humans or the climate have caused the population of large mammals to decline dramatically over the past several thousand years. A new study from Aarhus University confirms that climate cannot be the explanation....
