  • Having a belief system is different from having a religion. Organized religion likely came about out of the need to legitimize power structures (otherwise, why the hell would the populace, which outnumber the ruling class, not fight back against their injustices?)

    You are right that the San seem to have a classless (or, as wikipedia describes it, egalitarian) society. So it works as a counter-example to my claim that “nothing predates classes”.








  • Can they enter a room or home with no specific owner?

    I assume the permission you gave them to get them into that scenario to begin with doesn’t get revoked once you die. Or does it? Vsauce theme Does the permission pass to your heirs? Can your child or spouse just show up and evict the vampire using that logic? What if the vampire doesn’t just kill you but turns you?

    More important question though we’re all missing here: can vampires even cum? You assumed in your comment that they can maintain bloodflow by using the blood of their victims/consenting partners/wtv. but that logic wouldn’t extend to sperm production. Unless they sucked a ton of cock beforehand and absorbed that as well.








  • Yep, I’ve dabbled in Guix before but was put off by the smaller/more outdated repository (according to repology, it has improved a lot lately but it’s still nowhere near nixpkgs) and the official non-support/second-class support for non-FOSS software (which, as much as I try to avoid it, is still a necessity in my day-to-day). The ecossystem being smaller is also an issue, but I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty and contribute some of the glue myself if necessary. Something else is FSF’s reliance on mailing lists and IRC; I get sticking with FOSS, obviously, but aren’t there more modern/ergonomic FOSS alternatives that suit their needs? The move from Savannah to Codeberg for the repositories was a welcome one and I hope they would follow with the rest of their platform, but oh well.

    Regardless, the time has come to make the jump. I can no longer afford to keep supporting a distribution being blatantly hijacked by far-right defense sector actors (for a far-right regime and their far-right allies). I hope Guix will treat me as well as I intend to treat it. :)

    And I seriously pray that it is more resilient to hostile takeovers by fascists, since, to my knowledge, there are no other Linux distributions in the “declarative, reproducible, immutable” family/paradigm. It’s just NixOS and Guix. So Guix it is. I got too comfortable with the guarantees this model gives me to ever go back to more standard distros, I’m afraid.

    But basically, the electrolyte balance that’s healthy for a horse is quite a lot higher than what is healthy for a human (due to body mass differences, among other things). The magnesium in the horse electrolyte is actually over the lethal dose for a human if taken as written. You could theoretically take it and be fine if you calculate the proper dose yourself, but by that point you’re better off just buying human products, I guess.

    EDIT: I was thinking of manganese, not magnesium, but that’s 1500% of the daily intake, not necessarily lethal dose. Sodium, though, is over the lethal dose.
