    This is so undeniably, objectively true.

    Peanuts end up in everything because they’re very cheap, not because they’re that good.

    Peanut butter is … fine. That’s all you can honestly say. PB&J is edible at it’s best, and then only rarely. Reese’s is a testament to how easy it is to sell coagulated sugar and salt. Bougie peanut butter cups are just polished turds.

    Thai is the only cuisine that knows what to do with peanuts.





  • If the seller has enough capital for a customer service phone line, you have no ethical duty to let them know about two pairs of shoes.

    The manufacturing cost of two pairs is negligible - there’s no way it can meaningfully affect them at all. Whereas an extra 4 pairs worth of retail price could meaningfully affect you. Even if you only spend it on yourself, you create more happiness in the world by not saying anything.

    If you feel guilty or really don’t need the money, you can always treat a loved one, spend it on fair trade or independently made shoes or clothes, or find an anti-sweat-shop group to donate to.

    BLM … Meaning still unclear

    During a really bad wildfire season here in OR a few years back there was a story going round that police reported Black Lives Matter activists had set up check points in rural, fire-stricken areas to harass and intimidate honest, trump-loving oregonians or maybe even because they were the ones starting the fires.

    This misinfo came from people listening to police radio frequencies, but not understanding that BLM meant Bureau of Land Management.
