I want to believe that the kids mentioned in posts like this are playing along with their parents' delusions so they don't have to sit through another lecture about how the Federal Reserve is a Ponzi scheme and they're chemtrailing us with fluoride.
153Unfortunately I believed the whole states rights thing until at least early highschool but I'm actually not sure exactly where that ended. My childhood memories are full of holes and every time I manage to remember something I wish I hadn't so I mostly just leave them alone now.
41I wanted to dismantle the state for a socialist ideal in at least middle school. I didn't like punk until freshmen year of high school though, so we all go through changes even if my politics have mostly stayed the same.
Edit: thinking back on it I remember having an anticapitalist moment in 5th grade, Miss Hill's class so we'll scale that back to elementary school.
13They brought in a special teacher for my AP US history, straight from the Masonic lodge i figure.
Made the usual teacher, a liberal guy, take a sabatical year.
Thanks secret government assholes.

Haha you reminded me of a video of some poor young teen having to film his mother making chemtrails disappear by spraying a bottle of vinegar at them.
He was so unenthused.
Edit: I can't find it. My guess it was obv taken down .
12I mean technically the federal reserve is a ponzi scheme they charge interest on money printed requiring more money to be paid back than they printed. Ergo there isn't enough print money in existence to pay them back.
2Regular economic thinking doesn't work on the scale of nations. Just like a family having debt is not the same thing as a country having debt.
Pretty much everyone in the world has no full idea how an economy works and how to best stimulate it. It's like a trillion moving parts and smart asses always go "yea this pin over here? That's the one that's the problem / solution"
Pretty much no-one knows. We have ideas what's better / worse but anyone who tells you they've got it figured out, is lying.

Rice confirmed sentient and sapient. Vegans everywhere are in tears. International governments are drafting a Bill of Rice to ensure the rights of these beings. Churches are redirecting rice purchased for weddings to be given directly to their missionaries. Little do we know, the grains will soon band together and revolt, and the Rice War will be upon us.
140Oh man we'd be so fucked if all plants were sentient. We'd still eat, but we'd be doomed to commit plant war crimes to live
26They could be sentient without us knowing. But they live on a different time scale. Everything we do to them would happen very quickly in their perception. So don't worry and bon appetit.

When the
yogurtrice took over2And isn’t rice pudding just grain-based yogurt?

In these trying times, remember to not buy into Big Rice propaganda!

And this is how you fail in teaching your children science.
76One, day... some adult is going to think "that fucking cunt ass bitch lied to me about the rice".
58Is this like, some weird parent "lesson" thing you're actually supposed to fake? Like maybe you're supposed to put some vinegar in the good jar to prevent mold growth, and the goal is to make your dumbass children behave?
55No better lesson learned than being lied to by those in authority...
542 lessons in one!
25Yeah there aren't any lasting affects from that at all
Said the nearly 40yo anarchist

If rice has feelings, consider the unimaginable horror you're inflicting when you eat a bowl of it for lunch.
52"Words truly matter" but I can't understand for the life of me what these ones mean. Can someone help me out?
52Words have powers bordering on magic, I guess is the idea.
And for many people that's true, for as long as they are willing to believe that.So I guess what I'm saying is that placebos have powers bordering on magic.

Stupid people think they are profound thinkers.
43Pro found a new thing.

Huh, it really makes you think... some people have no idea how to run an experiment or about statistical significance.
41Nah, they actively avoid it. My mom was also like this, and when we did experiments as a kid and something didn't work "we were just doing it wrong".
20Sounds like my mom too.
She practiced reiki at one point and wanted to convince me it works by trying it on me. When I said I didn't feel anything at all her reply was "oh well that's probably just because you don't believe in it."
...I love you mom, but yes that is it and not in the way you think it is lol
19
n=2, highly significant results!
31>0 is clearly unrefutable

We've finally figured out how to develop an active sourdough starter in record time. You curse at it.
40So that’s why the dough is so sour.

Adversity drives growth?
40Those treated with kindness are better for eating.
36Maybe they just love segregation and hate culture?

Now I feel bad for blue cheese, must have been abused all this time.
37The more people hate blue cheese, the bluer it gets
12
So hate helped sprouting mold, therefore new life?
35All I can see is that this might be evidence that jars with green lids ate bad for storing food. Further studies are needed.
28Kind words
satanisesanitise & sterilise.24I think this is a wink towards the idea that your plants grow better when you talk lovey-dovey to them
21It is probably true though. Speaking to them every day, means looking at them every day and thus seeing problems immediately. Okay, so not true, but still effective.
14Yeah I've always found that silly, they just like our breath.

Eww after four days that rice is very much ruined. Freeze your rice and you can put the most vile words you want on the jar. Or not, because this is stupid and you're wasting rice.
15It’s really funny how the “bad” rice is photoshopped
15Even rice can read now?
13The wisdom, in a single grain of rice, my friend.

No mycelium on either one I see.
Next time I recommend staying silent and paying attention to the moment as you make your cake
10Homeschooling sure is... Something!
7More of that masaru emoto crap.
4Should....shouldn't the one with mold be the I love you one? Since that's what promoted the most growth and success of life?
3Reminds me of Ghostbusters 2
3So if I hate my rice it gets some peppers added to make it hot and spicy?
1There was a Japanese researcher/scientist that did this with water, his was a legit experiment. He would talk negativity to water then look at it under a microscope. Then give positive affirmation and look under microscope again. The results were insane. The positive affirmations were beautiful geometric shapes,the negative would look chaotic and even turn brown sometimes.
This person is an idiot and most likely contaminated the rice. But there is a scientific study that backs positive vs negative affirmation just saying for whatever it's worth you fucking idiotic god damn losers
Wait..... oh no my cells are erupting and my dick shot off like a missile, brown water is seeping from thine anus oh god what have I done
-6I just poked around the Japanese web. If you're talking about "messages from water" or something like that, it's complete bullshit. You can see here for example: https://www.gakushuin.ac.jp/~881791/fs/md/what.html If not, please cite your source.
14Do you have a source for that experiment that isn't trying to sell special water?
10Once I saw some amazing effect after talking positively to water too. I came to the scientific conclusion the acid I took was really good.
9Masaru Emoto's "experiments" are not scientifically legit. They are at best artistic photography. But his so-called science in regard to water/ice crystals is rubbish and does not stand up to scrutiny, it is not reproducible. He makes a lot of money from common people at his events.
