E306 is the e number for tocopherols. Also known as vitamin fucking E.

E numbers mean this thing has been approved for human consumption in the EU and long names mean someone in a lab figured out what its chemical structure is.

You know what's easy to pronounce, natural and doesn't have an E number? Lead.

Companies who tell you their food has no E numbers or chemicals you can't pronounce in are preying on your ignorance.

They're just after your E175.

So, E300 is vitamin C. E153 is "I was cooking some toast and it got burnt". E500 is sodium bicarb (aka baking soda). E948 is got dam oxygen. E1510 is ethanaol.

(and E175 is gold)

I think this might be one of the most incredible, unsettling and symbolic photos of today’s America I’ve ever seen. I can’t stop looking at it. It’s perfect.

"just go to a food pantry"

"get a second job"

"start your own garden"

"stop buying name brand"

"don't get your nails done"

"learn to budget"

"live within your means"

Temporary individualistic fixes will never solve systemic issues! God forbid EVERYONE eats and not just me!!

None of these things are bad practices.

But they're kinda the same playbook plastic manufacturers took with recycling. (Honestly it's the same tack all companies have taken since like the '70s). But Coca-Cola makes like tens of thousands of times the plastic waste that you make annually.

We can reduce how much we drive, but the US Military produces tens of thousands of times of the carbon emissions that you make.

Sure, tens of thousands of us recycling everything that we can, and using our cars as little as possible, would be net positive for the world, but in the time it's taken to write this post, both organizations have done more damage to the planet than I will with a lifetime of mistakes.

It's not bad to save, garden, and budget. But like, we can have both. We can fight for systemic change while making our lives better.

Discussion about Types of Guy in tabletop roleplaying groups is always "the Rules Lawyer", "the Method Actor" and never "Guy Who Always Plays A Human And Invents New Setting-Specific Slurs For Their Character To Call A Specific Type Of Nonhuman Characters" even though I see the last one a lot more.

[prokopetz]

At some point you've gotta sit a player down like "okay, in our fantasy game you played a guy who hates elves and made up new slurs for elves; in our transhuman cyberpunk game you played a guy who hates robots and made up new slurs for robots; I think your actual goal here is just to be a guy who says slurs".

"what if someone regrets transitioning" if you are 18 or over in free country usa you can walk into any tattoo parlor and ask for a tattoo that will be on your body forever and ever and ever and they will give it to you with the understanding that if you dont like the result or you regret it later that's your fucking problem and not theirs
