  • Don’t mix up overeating with the human’s natural down phase during the mid day though. It’s normal for humans to feel tired after lunch, because humans took breaks during the day (kind of like Siesta in Spain).

    Industrialization introduced the work from 9 to 5. In reality humans had a biphasic sleep schedule before that. We still experience some after-effects genetically from this in our circadian rythm. There’s actually several words in languages across Europe for this, i. e. in German “Mittagstief” (midday low).

    Humans never worked as much for other people as they did this day and age, of course not counting the early days of industralization.


  • A friend of mine is a higher up and checks the numbers of plants and their productions. They found out that for certain plants numbers were not verifiable. They saw this coming. There is mismanagement in plants here, and plants that don’t really make anything, but try to fake their numbers. But we’re talking about plants that technically have good potential either, but have the wrong focus, at least that’s what my friend believes. I’m not surprised this happened.

    I’m keeping this message intentionally vague to protect my friend.




  • I am not dismissing the connection, I just wonder what it’s based upon. Sure, you could assume as such, but starting to talk about the bible will be a conversation that turns in on itself. The largest church i. e., the Catholic church, emphasizes its own existence before the Bible itself, highlighting the church over the scripture in religious matters. And there definitely are several denominations that fully integrate homosexuality (see some Old Catholic churches for example), albeit still in minority but growing. Not that I’m defending anything else about it. I’m not a Christian. But to fully illustrate my point it doesn’t take a long google search to find out that homosexuality can also be blamed as an European import. However, Europeans historically definitely did have a more binary world-view on gender, and there is evidence it impacted colonized countries (British more so than others).

    However, does any of this really matter? I am saying that I believe simply blaming today’s homophobia on historical exploitation, which definitely had an socio-economic impact, is not gonna fix what is definitely a problem nowadays. Actually, blaming European colonization for crimes committed by people in Nigeria is taking away from their own responsiblity and agency to improve the issue. Whether religious or not, both LGTBQ+ right nor religious freedom should infringe on one another.

    But there are many crimes colonizing countries should pay for until this day. Hope you don’t feel like I’m trying to argue against you, I just wanna have a interesting conversation!



  • Yes, this is what one study said. While biologically-speaking even a single drop of alcohol is bad for your body, the return effect from it is socialization, fun (only in moderation). If there were no positive effects it wouldn’t be used. In moderation it would be interesting to see the effects positive emotions have on the wellbeing.

    However, that being said it is still the worst drug and it is easily abused. I work as a bartender at a hotspot in my city. The degeneration of the mind many people go through is utterly disgusting. I don’t mind because they’re not me though. But I do mind cleaning up after them in the toilets, or when they proceed to be shitty to those around them… or worse.

    It goes the same as for any legal drug: Only use it when you consciously want to. Know when to stop. Drink a glass of water inbetween. And for the love of god don’t make it an excuse to be an ass. If you lose yourself in it you’re losing more than you get. Stopping to use any drug is a good thing.



  • Classic recommendations are Linux Mint and Ubuntu, I think Zorin as well, but there are many others. For starters which one you use won’t matter too much, because more likely than not you’re gonna switch again.

    I started with Ubuntu because it’s easy to use and I was new. One can argue over the pros and cons. I’m looking at Manjaro at the minute, an easy to install and beginner friendly Arch distro. Really, you can just try most of them out online though. Check out DistroSea and you can actually emulate the OSs with several desktop environments right in your browser.
