P1: I cannot cope with the idea that my mind is a mundane physical process

P2: God is... wait, fuck we aren't doing god any more

C: It must be quantum

There's no outer edge of a gravity well. It just tapers off, infinitely.

Imagine a big frozen lake, with a post stuck up from the centre, and a rope tied to it. You've got big wet-iceblock boots on, but you have have hold of the rope.

If you're just standing still, then reaching the post is stupid-easy, you just haul on it, and you slide right on in.

But now imagine you're not just standing there, you're whizzing hell for leather round the edge of the lake at 50 MPH.

You haul on that rope with all your might, it doesn't get you into the middle; all it does is stop you flying out into the weeds.

You simply can't get there from here, your turning circle is too damn big.

That's orbit. That's how it works. If you're going past a thing fast enough, you can't turn hard enough to hit it.

Keys, wallet, phone, shopping bag. That's it.

Sex work is work.

The people that do it deserve respect, and all the social and legal protections that attach to any other kind of work.

Your own preferred attitude to sex isn't the point.

Untoasted multigrain, throw in some salt and pepper and maybe some parsley or chives.

This trick is to go light on the mayo.

1: "oh, pretty"

2: carry on with my day

3: Casual eye contact, casual smile of acknowledgement.

My cholesterol ratio was becoming of-concern a couple of years back.

I replaced most of the animal fat in my diet with olive oil and the like, and a year later all my levels were acbsolutely fine.

Low-fat cheese is horrible, tbh. It's like eating slices of vinyl eraser, and does not spark cheese-joy. Cardio-risk-wise it's like getting healthy by smoking half-length cigarettes: everybody loses.

There's no good alternatives that fill every niche, but humnmus is a damn good start. It's got (good) fat and protein and it's salty and umami, and feels like you've actually eaten something.
