Damping is a process that reduces the amplitude or oscillation of a vibrating system over time.

Dampening can mean to make something slightly wet, or lessen the intensity of something

Also the front-facing picture has ears covered by hair, while profile has a fully visible ear. Seems dubious the handcuffed subject tucks hair behind ear in the moments when asked to turn left.

No matter what anyone says, you’re worth more than your productivity. And “deserves” is a “spook,” as Stirner would say. Everyone deserves nothing and everything, it’s always a matter of perspective. Almost everything is, meaning either almost everything is irrelevant opinion, or opinions are relevant and we can/must decide which to have.

Almost all chewing gum contains plastic, and as such stands to be a big source of microplastics in your body (and the environment, especially when not disposed of “properly”).

In the US, companies are allowed to list “gum base” in the ingredients when the “gum base” could mean anything - but it almost always means PVA (polyvinylacetate; a plasticizer).

Some gum marketed to people who realize this uses chicle, as gum originally did, or some other non-plastic, but it needs to explicitly state this. “Gum base” = “not telling you” = undoubtedly chewing microplastics into your body.

The problem is that the “irrelevant” culture wars (identity politics, wedge issues) that don’t affect any given individuals directly are about important issues, and they’re being used by the rich as hostages. We can’t help but care about those issues, even if they don’t impact us directly, and the rich are using them as human shields while they take our watches and wallets and force us to sign over our properties

Highly recommend. Bravo for suggesting this book.

Well no to your last point, it’s long past suppertime.
