Not Alimentary

And the thing is, most of those “food” items taste like absolute chalky garbage ape turds. And people still like them! Even people who can afford better. Just conditioning, I guess.

One time my partner and I were in the supermarket and a woman came up and inquired if we knew where the Pop Tarts were. I wanted to ask, “Why in the world are you looking for Pop Tarts?” But I said I didn’t know, because why would I know that. I don’t eat non-food and Pop Tarts are the most non-food item known to humankind.

I guess I am a food snob, but I didn’t like fare like that even when I was a poor North Florida hellraiser, and wouldn’t choke down a Pop Tart unless there were absolutely no other options.

The Cost

What I learned from the pandemic is people are much dumber and far less capable of handling complex information than I thought. And I didn’t have a high opinion in that regard before!

Was reading some terrible paper earlier where it was clear the person understood nothing at all about how aerosolization works, how fabric works, why masks are worn, how viruses are (generally) transmitted, nor the studies they were citing and their limitations. It was a total shitshow of the worst kind.

But it seems plausible. Kind of. If you don’t read any of the source studies, don’t understand the science, and have no idea how anything works. Which, I’ve discovered, is most people.
