  • The Blackfoot nation on which Maslow based his hierarchy of needs would actually have a celebration each year where they’d give everything they’d amassed away.

    The actual basis for the “hierarchy” of needs is essentially that a community takes care of each other so that all needs are met, and this is found not just in Blackfoot but along the majority of indigenous cultures. (I write in quotes because it was never really a hierarchy, it was more of a cyclical chain of getting needs met)

    There’s a really good read on what inspired the Hierarchy of Needs here. Most of the changes that Maslow made to his findings were actually due to him wanting to make it more palatable for his individualistic colonial audience.






  • I think the OP was originally about fried preparation of potatoes. Wedges at least in North America are usually fried, I think the only non-fried ones I’ve seen are in the UK.

    Also if we’re talking about the best preparation of potatoes in general, it’s mashed and there’s no argument there.

    Newer SVU episodes also acknowledge the issues and often essentially have the message that they (the very specific SVU team) are the only non-terrible NYPD team even within their own universe. I can’t speak to the other law and orders as I haven’t seen them.

    It is copaganda but they’re trying their best. SVU in particular seems pretty self aware that it’s pretty much fantasy at this point.


  • I waste my time on a website I found years ago on r/beermoney that pays pennies for installing and playing shitty games. Most of them are the garbage match 3 or dominoes or whatever. I figured out most of them still pay out even with my ad blocker on so I just dissociate with that instead of doom scrolling sometimes.

    It’s not the greatest thing ever and I know it’s bad for privacy and capitalism and for many other reasons, but I’ve made like $600 on it in the last 3 years so that’s been cool.




  • I don’t know what face scan as I haven’t flown into the states in a very long time.

    In Canada we have a machine at customs that takes your picture when you come into the country. This isn’t optional. I take the opportunity to make the absolute most ridiculous face I can every time and it brings me copious amount of joy. It then prints out a little slip that I give to the customs person at the gate who is usually chatting and doesn’t even look at it. I imagine those slips go somewhere, though I couldn’t really care less where.
