  • I used to be an experimental chemist in the bathroom sink after my parents fell asleep. On one occasion, my father told me that he had to throw out my concoction I had saved since the night prior because it had attracted and killed a few roaches. I accidentally made a roach attractant and poison as a kid using substances found in an ordinary home.


  • So the USBP doesn’t practically patrol regular routes at regular times? And the people smuggling $1.1 million in cocaine across the US-Canada border don’t know those routes and times? And the smugglers happened to accidentally leave that much contraband laying around and disappeared with miles and miles of woods while USBP is patrolling? And they left it on the route to be easily found by some government employee just doing their routine? And the USBP agent just happened to be paying attention enough at the right time to spot 2 black backpacks? And when they checked, they found $1.1 million worth of cocaine inside? And no one was arrested in connection to that much cocaine just laying around at a border?

    Yep, nothing else to investigate here. Pack it up, boys.

    In case you aren’t aware and interested in hearing an opinion on that statement, here it goes.

    A lot of people might find it offensive and dismissive. The obvious issue with it is that it is extreme by including “everyone” and “all their failures in life” and saying that one issue is blamed for it entirely. That is just not true. I understand that it could be taken as a figure of speech and that the reader is to understand that not literally everyone and all of their failures, but I disagree with even a figurative interpretation. In my experience, few people attribute most of their lifelong issues to ADHD. Out of that small set of individuals that do attribute issues to ADHD, many of them are valid, while some are likely removing any accountability from their own choices. Yes, it is likely that some people avoid taking responsibility and therefore seek unnecessary accommodations from others for their lack of effort by placing blame on a mental health diagnosis that they might not even have. However, it is my belief that the majority of people don’t do that. ADHD is a mental health condition/neurotype that affects every single aspect of a person’s life. A person isn’t ADHD in only school or work. They are ADHD when they complete daily tasks, socialize, read a book, follow instructions, visit the doctor, place their keys down, etc. ADHD truly does affect every area of their in a world that is designed for people that are not ADHD, so they end up violating cultural norms and performing subobtimally in comparison to their peers. When someone with ADHD states that their entire lives are affected by it, they are not exaggerating. Stating that everyone blames all of their failures in life on ADHD is dismissive of their difficulties and can appear aloof, insensitive, privileged, or malicious. Statements like that can drive away understanding, compassionate, and caring people, limiting your interaction with individuals that have those traits, leaving you more exposed to the kinds of individuals that would use mental health diagnoses to avoid responsibility for their failures.

    That’s only my opinion, so do what you like with that.













  • Should you put glue in pizza?

    No, you should not put glue in pizza. Here are several reasons why:

    Safety Concerns

    • Toxicity: Most glues, especially those not designed for food use, contain chemicals that are toxic if ingested. Consuming glue can lead to serious health issues.
    • Allergic Reactions: Some people may have allergic reactions to the components in glue, which could be dangerous.

    Culinary Integrity

    • Taste and Texture: Glue would significantly alter the taste and texture of the pizza, making it unpalatable. Pizza is meant to be enjoyed for its flavors and textures, and adding glue would ruin that experience.
    • Food Quality: Using non-food substances in cooking is not only unappetizing but also undermines the quality of the meal.

    Alternatives

    If you’re looking to enhance your pizza, consider using safe and delicious ingredients such as:

    • Cheese: Different types of cheese can add flavor and texture.
    • Herbs and Spices: Fresh basil, oregano, or crushed red pepper can elevate the taste.
    • Sauces: Experiment with different sauces like pesto, barbecue, or garlic sauce for a unique twist.

    In summary, glue has no place in pizza or any food preparation. Stick to safe and edible ingredients to ensure a tasty and enjoyable meal!
