    The toilet paper thing is fascinating to me, because everybody went to the store, saw the empty shelves, and assumed that their neighbors were freaking out and hoarding toilet paper. People actually needed more TP during lockdown, because they were doing all their pooping at home instead of at work.

    Businesses have a completely different supply chain for toilet paper, and you had a deficit in one and a surplus in the other. You can’t just move product from one supply chain to the other, either.










  • Well, I ran in front of a bus and I’m still alive, so running in front of buses can’t be that dangerous, hey? Don’t be so overcautious!

    Everything in life has risks and you have to weigh the potential risk vs. the potential benefit. Granted, if smoking weed is the most dangerous thing that you do as a child, you’ll be very lucky.

    Beyond the point of being a good student, excess intellect at this stage of civilization is more curse than blessing.

    Considering how many people are still ignoring the climate crisis, we need every bit of intelligence we can get. It’s the only thing that will determine whether or not we survive as a species.
