Continuing to Post Sint Maarten Notes
Starting to feel more real again to leave the Caribbean?! Still a while. Planning the remainder of the Dutch Caribbean...
Maybe in the future they'll genetically modify (or "bioengineer") rice so big that you just eat one huge grain of it at a meal. :)
Society nowadays (some societies anyways) likes to celebrate women who work, women who start businesses, women who perform sports or music, etc. Society should be fair then and also celebrate men who cross-dress, men who stay home, etc. :)
In modern society there are tons of methods to "make it". So I wouldn't worry excessively over any particular one, you can adapt later if you fail. There are some challenges in modern society but there are challenges anyways. Again I wouldn't worry excessively, just handle things as well as you can!
We humans have evolved from a long line of chimp and fish and other ancestors a tendency to be jerks. While I think there's still a place for occasionally being a jerk, I also think it often makes sense to override that instinct and share some love instead! :)
What's the best you can extract from the food you put in you?
Coffee is for overclocking the body.
Seems like the anti-drug states have supported a bunch of fascism in South America and maybe kind of deserve to have lost some of those large countries to the drug dealers!
Also seems like Colombia is maybe on track to become moderate wastrels rather than completely sunk...
Say what you will about the communist revolution in Venezuela, at least it's serving the structural-functionalist purpose of becoming the world's main drug distribution hub! :)
COVID minus a thousand years: "During these times, it was widely believed that Jews caused epidemics like the Black Death by poisoning wells. Jews were also accused of ritually consuming the blood of Christians." Humans were and are irrational, basically modified chimps.
Idea: chevre (goat cheese) ice cream. Probably already exists, but I don't think I've seen it. Bet it would taste delicious. Looked online, and yep of course it already exists. With some interesting ingredient ideas like fennel, lemon, honey, sea salt, cherry!
"Wait, did you say you loved your soulmate or your cellmate?" :)
Someone should make a funny propaganda image of "COVID pandemic" morphing into "COVID panic".
