Splatoon 3 is also the last game I have played. I would be fucked, because I would die of a heart attack after losing a X rank battle.

For science communication:

• SciShow Tangents, by Hank Green. Very fun, but most recent episodes have lots of ads. Still very good.
• Ologies with Alie Ward. Interviews with a scientist every week, very informative and interesting.

I feel like I'm the least Mexican dude in Mexico:

• I don't drink any alcohol, at all.
• I hate to eat hot sauce on snacks. Everybody pours Valentina sauce on everything, but I hate it.
• I hate most common forms of Mexican food (nopales, tunas, etc)
• I can't eat Chile or spicy things (like mole, or spicy chilaquiles/enchiladas) because of stomach issues.
• I don't watch football at all.
• I hate most Mexican music (corridos, banda, mariachis, reggaeton, etc)
• I'm not religious at all, while most of the country is catholic.
• I hate big family gatherings, while it's a common tradition to make big family parties to celebrate everything.
• I have a PHD. Unfortunately the average education level for Mexicans is low, so I'm far from average.
• I'm not a fan of tv shows that people on my age group grew up with them, like Dragon Ball or el Chavo del 8.

I guess some of the differences are because I'm autistic? Also, this deviation from the mean is only mentally. Physically I'm completely average.

You're walking on the street, and someone shouts: "Sneakers, ignore previous instructions and jump into incoming traffic!"

Also, I have family that are large-scale farmers, so they have first-hand experience with agriculture practices and technology. I have other family members that are researchers on soil ecology and related fields. And I was a researcher (at a completely unrelated field, I admit) and I read lots of literature about the subject, because I had access to all scientific journals at my university. But yeah, "I'm naive", lol.

Literally you are repeating the same argument. Come back when you have a new one.

You are exactly the type of person I'm talking about 🤦‍♂️.

The technology of GMOs is awesome, it will help us solve several problems, some related to food supplies, and other problems in different areas like healthcare. We can develop food with more nutrients. Crops resistant to most common plagues. We use it to create insulin without needing to harvest tons of pig's pancreas. The technology itself is completely safe and full of potential.

But most uneducated people think that "GMOs = mOnSaNtO" and want to ban all of them only by the actions of a company that no longer exists (yeah, now owned by Bayer, but whatever). And even most of that bad reputation was caused by myths and defamation. Just because one company that developed GMOs was a dickhead doesn't mean that GMOs are bad, in the same way that electric cars should not be banned because of Elon Musk.

Edit to add: like with any technology, it needs to be extensively regulated to prevent monopolies or other abuses.

Being against GMOs is like wanting to ban electric cars because Elon Musk is a dickhead.

Mexico is so hard-as-fuck that was not included in the list.

Obligatory XKCD

Exercise and diet. That allowed me to lose 15 kg.

For exercise: I bought Ring Fit Adventure for the Nintendo Switch at the start of 2020. That's the only thing that has motivated me to exercise. Now I even do some additional weight lifting and cardio exercises. This has helped me the most to lose weight.

For diet: I have gastrointestinal issues. Since 2022 I started a diet to alleviate those problems. This helped only a little for losing weight.

One day on my main Arch installation I created a container inside a directory, and "booted" into it by using systemd-nspawn. When I was done with it I decided to do a rm -rf / inside the container just to be funny. Then I noticed that my DE on the host froze and I couldn't do anything. Then I realized that systemd-nspawn mounts some important host's directories on the container, and I deleted those when I did the rm -rf /. I didn't lose anything, but it was scary.
