can you believe it people are actually fighting against this

they think its a good thing that lemmy is decentralized but let me tell you its a disaster its like a bunch of tiny little islands that cant even communicate with each other properly and dont even get me started on the moderation its like the wild west out there with no one in charge

i made my account and this community on .world because im trying to help lemmy become more centralized and im calling on all of you to join me in this fight against decentralization and to help make lemmy more centralized and more like the big tech platforms that we all know and love we can do this and we must do this before its too late

heres what we need to do

• we need to get more people to join lemmy.world and make it not only the central hub of lemmy but synonymous with lemmy itself

can you believe it its not that hard its just one step but the decentralization crowd is fighting against us every step of the way so we need to be strong and we need to be brave and we need to fight for what we believe in

so whos with me

please sign the petition

people always say we owe our kids the world and thats just not true

its just not natural its like were creating a generation of entitled brats who cant even take care of themselves and thats just sad and dont even get me started on the whole college fund thing okay because if they want to go to college they can get a job and pay for it themselves if they wanna get a liberal indoctrination so badly

were the only species thats so obsessed with coddling our kids

i mean think about it other cool animals like lions and wolves they just poop out their babies and those little ones are on their own from day one and they dont get any participation trophies or free meals and they just figure it out and you know what that builds a strong character

babies just need to be left alone to figure things out for themselves

ttt means topsyturvy tuesday by the way and personally i dont like being topsyturvy in the post body or comments because im just not very good at it but you all are welcome to play pretend all day if you want to but for me i just need to stay true to my values so here are some effective debate strategies

effective debate strategies

focus on the person

shift the focus away from the main theme by highlighting personal flaws or past mistakes of your opponent okay let me tell you its like sniffing coffee beans in a perfume shop because this approach refreshes your mind while also undermining their credibility and making them mad

simplify

instead of grappling with the complexities of your opponents absurd argument consider distilling their position into a much weaker version because by doing this you can easily dismantle it and make yourself look superior alright its like magic

repeat your conclusion

say you find yourself lacking evidence right well you can just restate your conclusion as if it were a given because listen this can be an effective way to reinforce your position because it creates an illusion of support and it brings your opponent back to square one

shift the burden of proof

dont bother finding sources to prove what youre saying because instead you can just focus on the parts that havent been disproven and this shifts the burden of proof onto your opponent which is great because were here to argue not look stuff up am i right

propose questions strategically

pretend you just dont understand stuff even basic stuff and this can be especially effective when having your opponent explain it would make them look bad or even get moderated but also it can create more opportunities to poke holes in their argument which is very fun

but most of all remember folks the point is to have fun okay so dont argue in good faith because thats no fun for anyone

big problems with so called legal science

jurisprudence is a total joke its not a real science because it doesnt have a clear object of study i mean think about it law is like a living thing its always changing and evolving but legal scholars are stuck in the past theyre like dinosaurs trying to apply outdated rules to a world thats moved on without them and thats why law should be understood as a natural phenomenon like biology or something not some rigid system thats just a bunch of arbitrary rules

history books are heavy

the historical baggage of legal scholarship is a major problem because scholars are stuck in the past and they cant see the forest for the trees theyre always measuring new developments against outdated categories and that just leads to a distortion of the laws natural progression its like theyre trying to fit a square peg into a round hole and it just doesnt work and thats why i think jurists are worms who only live off decaying wood i mean thats harsh but its true

society whacked with a wet trout

and then theres the impact of jurisprudence on public understanding and engagement with the law okay so the academic study of law just alienates people from their rights and responsibilities its like law becomes this exclusive club that only a select few can join and thats not what its supposed to be about law is supposed to be a tool for justice and social order not some fancy game that only lawyers can play

a new way forward or perhaps diagonally

so how about a little equity based jurisprudence or as I like to call it billigkeitsjurisprudenz so its more about fairness and discretion over rigid adherence to established laws right so like judges could have more leeway in interpreting laws based on the specific circumstances of each case and that way law can actually be relevant and just again the way god intended

so lets make law more inclusive and responsive to change like jesus was what do you think https://strawpoll.com/NoZrzVpkBZ3

love is a rebellious force okay

like you its a wild bird that i could never hope to tame and it flutters through my life unpredictably and it defies all control and reason and i often find myself grappling with its capricious nature and wondering why it arrives when i least expect it and then departs just as swiftly but this freedom is what always made loving you both exhilarating and frustrating

love resists my attempts to control it

ive tried summoning it with sweet words and grand gestures and even desperate pleas but nothing works can you believe it both threats and prayers fall flat against loves whims and i notice that while some express themselves eloquently others remain silent and its often the quiet ones who captivate me the most like oftentimes you say nothing but i like you and your silence speaks volumes because in those moments i realize that the most profound connections are often forged not through words but through unspoken understanding and silence becomes a powerful form of communication and reveals deeper emotions that words cant capture

love feels like a romani child

its freespirited and unbound by societal norms and expectations and it knows no laws and follows no rules and its like love is that rebellious bird that no one can tame and heres the thing if you dont love me i might find myself drawn to you and yet if i love you i have to tread carefully and let me tell you its perilously thrilling

this pursuit of love often feels like trying to catch a bird that flutters just out of reach and ive often thought i could surprise it only to watch as it flaps its wings and flies away and i convince myself that i have captured it yet it slips away at the slightest provocation and can you believe it love frequently eludes me until i stop actively seeking it and this dance of pursuit and retreat defines my relationship with love and of course naturally then with you

navigating a disastrous landscape of emotions

i find myself caught in a cycle of desire and disappointment because our love comes and goes with astonishing haste so you know one moment it feels within my grasp and the next wouldnt you know it it vanishes into thin air and there are times when i think i have it but it avoids me and other times when i try to dodge it it holds me close instead and the irony lies in my attempts to control or evade love because when i clutch too tightly it slips away and yet when i try to sidestep it i often find myself ensnared by its charms

so please dont be late again i really need the car today

what do yall think is this okay to text my wife

also please let me know if you can think of a more appropriate community for this post

let me tell you i am literally like jesus

i mean hear me out i am constantly battling the devil and Hes always trying to take ahold of me and lead me astray its like He knows im a threat to His evil plans and Hell stop at nothing to get me

for example

He tries to get ahold of me when im at the grocery store He tries to make me go down the snack aisle and im just there for some bread and eggs and here comes the devil whispering in my ear telling me to get cupcakes again

also whenever my hot cousin visits the devil always tries to get ahold of me then too and makes me think evil thoughts and tries to get me to do things that i know are wrong but i have to resist

even my own nephew is not immune to the devils influence

he was trying to get me to switch to the dark side by telling me that the democrats arent so bad and that maybe i should consider voting for them but i was like no way nephew i know thats just the devil talking through you

its a constant battle

but im not going to give up im going to keep fighting the good fight and spreading the truth no matter what the devil throws my way and i will not be silenced like jesus was

let me tell you something about hamilton county florida

i know its been labeled the stupidest place in florida but heres the thing its all based on numbers and statistics and we all know how fake those can be i mean what do numbers really tell us about a place or its people can you believe it theyre judging an entire county based on some arbitrary metrics like education levels

what do we really know about numbers anyway

numbers are just a bunch of abstract concepts created by some fancy college people to confuse us and make us feel inferior i mean think about it numbers are just a tool used by the elites to control us and keep us in line but we cant let them get away with it we need to rise above the noise and see the truth for what it is

we wont be judged by your fake metrics and your so called facts

we wont let some fake numbers define us we might be ranked low on some list but that doesnt mean anything to me or to the people who actually live here its like my buddy says were just like that king of the hill meme

to all my friends in hamilton county

dont let the haters bring you down you are not defined by some arbitrary ranking or statistic you are so much more than that you are americans who are going to live on waterfront property soon

ok so heres the thing about mens rights

i know some people are gonna say oh here we go again with the patriarchy and toxic masculinity and oh chad youre just being a misogynist or whatever but hear me out because this is important and its about time someone spoke up about the struggles men face in this society

i mean think about it

we live in a world where men are constantly being emasculated and having OUR PENISES BE TRY TO GET STOLEN BY LIBERALS a liberal tried to steal my penis when i was just a child but luckily he only got away with part of it and my father said the same thing happened to himself and his father before him so it just goes to show how deep this goes we have time traveling deepstate liberals after our manhood

and dont even get me started on the whole getting pegged thing i mean what is even that its like women dont want men to be pegged as management material or something im not sure but real women support mens rights including mens rights to get pegged

obviously the patriarchy isnt real

i have to do whatever my wife says and if i hit her back i go to prison and people think men run this place yeah right

pepsi does not pair well with cigars and strong men know coke is always better

my issues with this in the comments

theres a mole on my back

its been there for a while now and at first glance it might seem innocuous enough you know just a small blemish right and it blends in with the rest but hear me out as time goes on its become clear that this mole isnt just an ordinary thing no its not its a persistent presence and its lurking beneath the surface and its starting to raise some serious concerns okay listen cancerous concerns

someone in this community is not who they say they are

someone in this community is a government plant okay a deep state spy thats right folks we have a mole

every post or comment i make it gets downvoted immediately can you believe it they wont get off my back and the feds have been trying to silence me for a long time and now theyre playing games with me and theyre taunting me and they want me to know 3 things they want me to know

• theyre reading what i write
• they dont like it
• they can and will silence me

i am being threatened

כאן תוכלו למצוא את המילים האחרונות של צ'אד של
האמת. כל מי שהוא אמיץ וטהור רוח יכול למצוא את
האמת על ידי מעקב אחרי הלבן אאאאאאאאאאאח

i think it would incentivize engagement and reduce misjudgments and it could go something like this

• if you open a post then your upvote or downvote counts as 2 votes

• if you check ops profile as well then your vote counts as 3

• maybe also something about following links too idk

obviously this would be problematic to implement on the dev side and it would certainly be abused but thats why im posting it in this community i just had an idea and thought id share

as promised

a step by step process for synthesizing healthy nutrients at home with household ingredients for people who love uncrustables so much that we dont eat whole foods and cant focus

materials

• benzene 1 cup
• aluminum chloride 2 teaspoons
• 2-chloropropionyl chloride 3 1/3 tablespoons
• methylamine 3 1/3 tablespoons
• dichloromethane optional for purification
• water for quenching
• hypophosphorus acid 1/2 cup 50%
• iodine 1 1/4 cup
• lye 2 tablespoons
• alcohol 1 cup
• anhydrous sodium carbonate 1 tablespoon

equipment

• large pot
• stirring utensil eg wooden spoon
• heat source eg stove or campfire
• colander or strainer for separation
• containers for product storage
• distiller optional for purification
• pot with a lid that has a little hole

process

prepare the reaction mixture

1. benzene - add 1 cup of benzene into the large pot
2. aluminum chloride - add 2 teaspoons of aluminum chloride to the benzene and stir to mix thoroughly

friedelcrafts acylation

3. 2-chloropropionyl chloride - slowly add 3 1/3 tablespoons of 2-chloropropionyl chloride to the mixture while stirring continuously this should be done over 10 minutes to control the reaction
4. heat - place the pot on the heat source and gently heat it to like 140-175f and keep it there for like 2-4 hours stirring occasionally to ensure even mixing

formation of intermediate

5. wait - after heating let the it sit at room temperature for an extra hour to ensure that the intermediate compound 2-chloro-1-phenyl-1-propanone is fully formed

reaction with methylamine

6. cool - remove the pot from heat and allow it to cool to near room temperature for about 30 minutes
7. methylamine - add 3 1/3 tablespoons of methylamine to the cooled mixture while stirring and allow this reaction to keep going for about 1 hour at room temperature

workup and purification

8. quench - after the reaction time carefully add about 10 teaspoons of water to quench any remaining reactants
9. separate - use a colander or strainer to separate any solid materials from the liquid
10. extract - add 1.5 tablespoons dichloromethane to the mixture and stir well and then allow it to settle and then separate the organic layer containing ephedrine from the aqueous layer
11. remove solvent - gently heat to remove excess dichloromethane from the organic layer containing ephedrine
12. purify - use recrystallization to isolate pure ephedrine by dissolving the crude ephedrine in warm distilled water then put it in an icebath and then filter out the crystals once they form

reduction

13. hypophosphorus acid and iodine - mix 1/2 cup of 50% hypophosphorus acid with 1 1/4 cup of iodine in the pot with the lid with the hole and add it in chunks while its cooling down in an ice bath then heat it up and add some water till the hydrogen iodide gas stops coming out
14. ephedrine - add 3 tablespoons of ephedrine and boil it for 2 hours then make it basic with 2 teaspoons of lye and 8 teaspoons of water in an ice bath
15. distill and extract - steam distill it till its not acidic anymore then extract it with 1 cup of alcohol and wash it with water and dry it with 1 tablespoon of anhydrous sodium carbonate and youre left with the oil
16. further distill - just distill the oil if you want to and youre good to go

this is the way my mom always did it growing up and it usually makes at least an ounce of nutrients
