    Don't forget that the valuable peanut oil is separated hydraulically which fractures the peanut meal, and then they add back cheaper soybean oil.

    (Side note: That's why it separates, and that's why even organic peanut butter separates, it's because it's been hydraulically fractured)

    In my opinion, the only peanut butter that is worth a damn is fresh crushed from unsalted roasted peanuts.

    Think about how fast a point on the equator of the Earth moves relative to a point a few cm away from the North Pole.

    In one full rotation of the Earth, the point on the equator will have traveled 40,000 km, and the point by the North Pole will have traveled a meter.

    So... it's that it's a useless way to express rotation.

    Would I get a tattoo, no? Do I like them on others? Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

    I have never thought that they were particularly creative, if anything I always felt quite the opposite.

    That feeling was confirmed when I was invited to a tattoo expo with a friend, there were perhaps 70 exhibitors, and all of them had the exact same or highly derivative trendy designs, and I think two of the exhibitors had unique art. That really said a lot to me.

    I have no idea, it was one of the most vapid, least memorable movies I've seen.

    Edit: and I completely stayed out of the hype bubble for Avatar as well, completely avoiding all exposure to it unless completely inescapable. I finally watched the movie for the first time 6 months ago, I can honestly say it was among the worst pieces of shit I've seen in 10 years. And the CGI and overall design of the world was weak.

    I agree.

    Sometimes I wonder if it's the modern, absurd extension of the stage makeup concept, taken to the extreme.

    My ex-wife was a professional dancer, and her stage makeup made her look absolutely insane in person. But under stage lighting, it looked amazing.

    Sometimes I wonder if cosmetic surgery was initially incorporated as something that would bring more popularity or work to an actor, because it would make them look more striking under the absurd, unreal lighting conditions of tv and film.

    And that this has gotten completely carried away. Especially now, since nearly all cinema is greenscreen with scenery digitally added later. Which brings a tremendous amount of lighting incongruity, so we end up needing block-like, exaggerated, un-contoured faces, slathered in 42 layers of stage makeup, to look "proper" under these conditions.

    I don't know if this is totally out to lunch or not.

    Okay so I actually crushed an apple before I posted this which is what inspired the post. I just wanted to inspire casual conversation, ridiculous goal setting, and joking around.

    I was inspired by an American pro wrestler in the Midwest or Mid-South(?), I remember seeing him on TV when I was a kid in the late '70s and early '80s. His big gimmick to show his toughness was to crush an apple.

    I crushed an Ambrosia apple that was slightly overripe. I do not believe, based on my strength in that endeavor, that I would be able to crush a ripe apple.

    It's not an easy job being a moderator, no matter how egregious the behavior is, it's always a difficult decision.

    I think though this user has pretty convincingly revealed their underlying motivations, by way of their various posts and their behavior therein.

    I was checking the "strength" post in a weird voyeuristic way, just to see the downvotes and look at the squabbling.

    Each time I came back, I noticed that they had completely revised the entire post content, along with many of their comments.

    The entire thing reeked of bait, trolling, mean-spirited sarcasm... All blended with what seemed to be, at least to me, a very bizarre fixation and fetish-like fascination about a specific topic.

    For all the extremely valid criticism Reddit gets, at the very least one of the things they did rock-solid was giving moderators tools to deal with users who were acting in bad faith or outright abusively. For example, they made it extremely easy to automatically filter posts from untrusted new users until they had passed a certain threshold, or other ways to limit their exposure until they had established themselves as part of the community.

    I'm not sure how robust, or even what set of tools you have available on this platform.

    Whatever you can do to help us participants of this community, I know that I would personally thank you and appreciate it. Sometimes the answer is to ignore these people though, not necessarily bans, because in a way that gives these social deviants what they're after in the first place.

    I was just remembering the time my grandfather's girlfriend tried to give me 5 gigantic paintings

    They were both in their early 80s and had been together long enough they decided to move in together. She had 5 huge framed paintings (prints) that no longer had walls to hang upon, and she wanted me to have them. All 5 of them. Gigantic shitty prints with ostentatious gold-painted frames, featuring rose vases and fruit baskets and the like. I think we are all familiar with this kind of "old lady" art. It was popular among the same clientele who would purchase ugly mass produced china to keep and not use. Basically department store rubbish of their day. It was completely okay that she offered them to me. It was not fine that she would not take "no thank you" for an answer and kept on pressing. It was not fine when she would not accept my answers of "I do not like them" and "I do not want them" and "they are ugly" and "if you insist on giving them away, give them to a thrift store". It didn't feel particularly pleasant to me when she acted as though she was doing me a great favor, and insinuated I was being ungrateful by not appreciating their inherent value. Finally I cracked and said okay I will take one of the paintings, may I have that big rose painting at the front? Yes. It becomes my property, you won't ask for it back? Yes it's yours! I picked up the painting and out the front door I went. I leaned the painting up against the elm tree on the boulevard at a 45 degree angle and proceeded to kick a hole right in the center. I went back and said do you still want to give me those other paintings? Later that week when I was taking gramps out for lunch he told me that it was one of the funniest things ever, and he completely agreed that it was the right thing to do given how absurd her insistence had gotten. He also said he was made to suffer for my actions though lol - although he really did not lay any blame at my feet, he let the punishment roll off his back like he always did, good guy! I would of course never behave that way now that I'm an older man. I would just more insistently say that I'm not going to take them under any circumstances. I was inspired to tell this story based on something I read in another thread. People were delighted to tell their mom they're just going to throw her china in the garbage and relating how mom was freaking out, and they were relishing it!

    I'd like to find documentaries that are stylistically very different than the apparent norm.

    Perhaps I'm being difficult, but I'm not deriving pleasure from documentaries the way I used to. I realize I'm speaking in generalities, please humor me. I find the presentation of most modern docs so hyperdramatic and forced, it detracts from the underlying subject matter. I would prefer if documentaries tried their best to collect and present information in a fascinating way, and present it as *reasonably neutral* as possible, with some leeway for the author's voice. I don't appreciate it when the superficial presentation constantly tries to cue me emotionally. I really don't understand why I have to have violen symphony music playing like it's the eve of world war 3, and all the nukes are about to be launched, when I'm watching a documentary about snail parasites or particle collider research. Even though it's different auditorially, to me it's the same principle as applying a laugh track to a comedy show. I don't need it suggested to me when something is funny, and I don't need to be cued by string orchestra music that something is serious or worrisome. Please trust me to make these judgments on my own! I think all trends ebb and flow but this one seems to have taken root and it's doesn't seem to be letting up. I wonder if other people feel this way, or if I'm just watching the wrong things?
