loaExMachina , to memes in CHEESE CAVES!

Idk, I’ve heard government cheese was mid.

All I know is that I long for it for some damn reason. As an Appalachian kid with too little to eat, that shit was heaven. I don’t know if it was just because I was hungry, but I was sad to see it go.

This made me think of something else too.

My mom used to stop at a gas station, send me in first with a food stamp dollar to buy a .05 cent piece of gum. My brother would do the same thing, then we’d drive down to the next station and do it again. Finally, at the third station we’d come to the car and give my mom the change. Once we were done, she could afford enough gas to go visit my aunt and my cousins.

Once the EBT card came out that was over for poor folks.

People would stand outside of gas stations and stop people, “hey bro, I’ll buy you two twelve packs of soda for two bucks. You can get a candy bar too.” They usually end up trespassed. The smart ones would sell the cards for half their value (smart? I know) so they didn’t get banned from stores.

Working in a gas station in Appalachia I seen a number of people open their wallets and have several EBT cards.

Thanks for the share! This is an interesting experience to hear about.

I still can’t believe they essentially proved telepathy works and used it for 20 atleast years for missions with collaborative evidence.

Telepathy. Obviously

was that enough accurate remote viewing experiences existed to defy randomness, but that the phenomenon was too unreliable, inconsistent, and sporadic to be useful for intelligence purposes.

Yep

I also don’t believe that

Me neither, but I’d be convinced if someone teleported the proof into my brain.

Me neither, but I’d be convinced if I saw someone flying around like Superman.

www.cia.gov/…/CIA-RDP96-00789R002800180001-2.pdf its quite unbelievable for sure

UmeU ,

Yeah, like they don’t know how to actually do telepathy, but they essentially know that telepathy works, for sure. /s

K0W4LSK1 ,
UmeU ,

Read this dude

The Stargate Project was terminated and declassified in 1995 after a CIA report concluded that it was never useful in any intelligence operation. Information provided by the program was vague and included irrelevant and erroneous data, and there were suspicions of inter-judge reliability.

If there was any evidence whatsoever that remote viewing or telepathy was a real thing which actually works, the world would be a very different place.

It takes just a few moments of critical thinking to debunk your pseudoscience claims.

Not even the CIA would be able to cover it up and someone would have collected their Million dollar prize

K0W4LSK1 ,

If you actually read the document their experiments contradict that statement.

And idk the CIAs word isnt very good historically so their statement of it being useless means nothing to me

Also scientists like Dean Radin have pretty much proved there is a sixth sense

UmeU ,

I feel like I am talking with a bot who is programmed to annoy the scientifically literate.

Let us all bask in the absurdity of your thought process:

You first say ‘the CIA says that they can perform telepathy’, and then you say ‘the CIA says that they cannot perform telepathy’, then you say ‘I don’t trust what the CIA says’, and therefore: ‘the CIA can do telepathy’

Despite this horribly flawed methodology, the concept of telepathy is widely known to be pseudoscience. The claims of telepathy do not hold up to scrutiny. Your theories are easily debunked.

Radin’s ideas and work have been criticized by scientists and philosophers skeptical of paranormal claims.https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Dean_Radin#cite_note-4https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Dean_Radin#cite_note-Stenger2002-5https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Dean_Radin#cite_note-Carroll-6https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Dean_Radin#cite_note-7 The review of Radin’s first book, The Conscious Universe, that appeared in Nature charged that Radin ignored the known hoaxes in the field, made statistical errors and ignored plausible non-paranormal explanations for parapsychological data.

You cite a quack who has a Wikipedia article that is 75% explaining how he is not a trustworthy source.

Lastly, if telepathy were a real actual thing that people can do, do realize how many other aspects of reality must also be of a conspiratorial nature? Its borderline paranoid schizophrenia to think something like telepathy is real and the CIA is covering it up.

Hopefully you can raise your standard of what constitutes evidence and apply a little more skeptical thinking when you come across wild claims that demand extraordinary evidence.

K0W4LSK1 ,

They aren’t covering it up but i probably am a paranoid schizophrenic and the the redacted experiments were meant to stay hidden. plus some if not most were destroyed

I dont see those theories being debunked at all just violently denied without actually properly testing the theories themselves

I am skeptical about everything What is perception? Can it be controlled? the CIA like to think so

UmeU ,

What do you think is more likely, that telepathy is real or that it’s just your schizophrenia talking?

K0W4LSK1 ,

More likely you are my schizophrenia

Linux users using Gnome Tweaks to make their PC look exactly like macOS.

When I’m not working on my Mac I enjoy the sheer simplicity of Sway

Why would you want that? Gnome is way better

Tweaking gnome to look like macos is easy. Turning kde to look like macos? Now that’s dope.

Cairo + global-menu and a little bit of taskbar rearrangement should do the trick

multicolorKnight , to coffee in How do you store your grounded coffee?

I drink it. That’s a nice tin, though. I have lots of beans, tea and mate that would feel honored to be in that tin.

Sunny OP ,

Thank you kind one :)

thayer , to coffee in How do you store your grounded coffee?

Nice tin. We grind a 1L Mason jar’s worth at a time and use a French press. One jar lasts about 2 weeks and honestly, I can’t tell the difference between a fresh grind and a 2-week grind, regardless of bean used. I’m sure some would disagree :)

Klordok , to coffee in How do you store your grounded coffee?

I store mine in a plastic container with an air tight seal. I prefer to use fresh grounds, but my grinder seems more consistent with higher volume. I usually grind 2-3 brews worth at time.

urata ,

I also store mine in plastic container, I actually grind roughly a week to two weeks worth of coffee at a time. The flavor difference after it sits for a while is less noticeable to me than the difference from when I get a new bag of coffee beans.

pooberbee , to coffee in How do you store your grounded coffee?

https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/a2bad1c6-a137-446c-9279-2a82b1cfc05a.jpegNot ground coffee, because I measure before I grind, but I have this jar that previously held instant coffee. It perfectly fits a bag of coffee, and I think it’s probably more airtight than the bag.

homesweethomeMrL ,

Also, it’s glass, which is nice.

DerArzt ,

Be warned about that grinder you have, the basket the grounds deposit into is two separate pieces and will eventually fail, spreading coffee grounds all over your kitchen on your dog while you’re hurrying trying to get ready for work and you overslept.

I know from… experience

pooberbee ,

I’ve had that grinder for about ten years now and I bang that basket on the knockbox everyday and it’s doing okay, but I get what you mean. The hopper lid has a crack in it from falling not very hard a while ago, so I think it might just be luck of the draw as to whether one gets a fragile plastic piece.

Watch, I’m sure the basket will shatter tomorrow, now. But the good news would be that I don’t think they sell replacement parts for it anymore, so I guess I’d have to upgrade.

@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

I was watching Top Chef the other day and one of the contestants kept talking about the “chocolate soil” he was making as part of his dish. He must have repeated that phrase “chocolate soil” at least 10 times because he thought it was really clever I guess. All it did was remind me that any time someone uses the word “soil” in the context of food all I can think of is poop. Like a soiled diaper or something.

It ended up really grossing me out

I don’t know why they wouldn’t just call it something else…

Don’t love it, also the vinegar/juice from pickled jalapeños is delicious
