We’re very close in age.
I remember eating a whole box of those and everybody being very upset.
I don’t remember anything else about it, other than that No, they are not candy!

The second text message was probably “Sorry, I think you texted the wrong dude.”
Dude… One look at nearly any vegan and it’s pretty obvious it’s a moronic way to eat. Always angry… look like death… unstable…
My father was on the cutting edge of technology. He had a CB radio in his car in the 70s, and in the 80s he had a large backpack which had a “portable phone”, weighing in at ten pounds, that I doubt he ever used.

Yeah. I’ve had a few vegan clients and they always feel passive-aggressive about everything.
Insufferable. Smug. Condescending. Moral superiority complex. Frail. Angry. Weak.
You’re just describing the Marines.
But for the vegans it’s this wierd combination of of genuinely wanting to do better for themselves and the world as a whole, while feeling impotent to make those changes, so it comes across as . . . weaseley.

That’s the thing. Hard to tell which is the chicken and which is the egg.

*weird…
If it’s ackchually from a place of wanting to do better… how do they rationalize the killing of billions of “lesser” animal types?? They can’t because they’re intellectually inconsistent brainlets because of their numerous deficiencies. Love the irony though.

I agree. It’s protein deficency.
Carnitine too
Room for one more in the club?? When I was in elementary school, I would beg my Mom to take me to the library on weekends. By that, I mean she would drop me off sometime in the morning and then be back in the afternoon to pick me up. I always was in the nonfiction section reading about insects, automobiles, the human body, etc…either books specific to that or all the information about random things I found in the encyclopedias. I loved science involved anything.
The librarians there knew me by name and were all very nice to me, even hooking me up by allowing me to check out more than the allotted number of books whenever I would amass a really big stack to take home.
Let me ask ya’ll…are you both pretty good at Jeopardy? I’m curious as I watch that show and I will just shout out answers and not even have to think about it, it’s like my brain just zips through all of the random information I’ve ever gleaned through reading and out pops the answer. I’ve asked several people I have known who were voracious readers like myself and, strange coincidence, they too were pretty good at Jeopardy. My wife keeps telling me to try out for the show, but I’ve definitely got my weak categories e.g. classical music, art, British literature etc.

I’m pretty much the same way. My one girlfriend used to joke about that. Its like having a catalogue of everything you’ve ever seen, heard, or read available in an instant. Not like Marilou Henner (she’s a supermind!) , but really pretty interesting.
I can tell though, that my cognitive speed and processing has slowed down. I’m 52 now, and statins have had an impact on that too.
But!
They do get some prepping for the shows too, so don’t count yourself out.
Got 37 questions right once

A-ha! I knew that reading all of of that random shit in books [non-fiction stuff] did end up getting stored permanently in my brain somewhere and it appears I’m not the only one.
@marine77 37! In one show? That’s damn impressive!
What’s really odd about it is I can be doing something else, only paying maybe half-attention, but it’s like my brain still hears the question and if it’s stored somewhere up in my brain folds, my mouth just blurts it out. My wife says it’s really amazing and says “how in the hell did you know the plant reproductive organ, female, was called the pistil? Are you rainman?” I just shrug and say I must’ve read it at some point.
Last thought on this, instead of all of this sole focus on A.I and machine learning, what if scientists actually REALLY focused on figuring out how to get the average human being to access the other 90% of our brains? They say we only use like 10%…imagine if they could figure out either a drug or a procedure to make this happen? Shit could be really amazing! Maybe humans CAN communicate telepathically and we just don’t know how to access that? Lol, I watch too many movies.

Ok, let’s go deeper. Do any of you library people remember being in the GatE program growing up? You’d get pulled out or normal classes to a blacked out trailer with a special teacher, and have to listen to those headphones and try to predict cards, or draw states from a hidden image, or read a book with your eyes closed? No grades, but you also got to try to make up languages, or guess the weather tomorrow and stuff.
