Pork Baron @porkbaron.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Growing up in the northeast during the Kennedy "Camelot" era clearly influenced this. As an ex-New Yorker I remember the obsession with John-John and the other Kennedy spawn. "Landing a Kennedy" was a thing (see Cheryl Hines). I think these are the reason for the Kennedy Center obsession and RFK Jr. 020
Pork Baron @porkbaron.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Fleetwood BigMac. Or Fleetwood Mac and cheese. I take no credit for these, all my wife's ideas. 010
Pork Baron @porkbaron.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Same here. Left NYC 15 years ago, but still got New York as my main dialect. These colors don't run. 020
Pork Baron @porkbaron.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I never watched "The Wire", except for the first episode twice. However, according to my wife, I say word "shit" exactly like Clay Davis. Is that good? 030
Pork Baron @porkbaron.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Even with PBS still somewhat around, how many persons do get their news there, compared to cable news and the networks? For a public option to work it has to be totally independent of the government in power and be allowed to criticize it. That builds trust and is the main news consumed here. 000
Pork Baron @porkbaron.bsky.social · 20/08/2026This never works as long as the press is accountable to its shareholder and is forced by law to maximize return. Hard to be a "free press" with those shackles. This is why all strong democracies have public and open access alternatives. 110
Pork Baron @porkbaron.bsky.social · 17/08/2026That is unfortunately a movie myth. Water is a terrible conductor of electricity. 000
Pork Baron @porkbaron.bsky.social · 17/08/2026I can only agree, 18 months with a Polestar 2 instead of an ICE Citroen has changed my life. With solar cells a battery and some clever "grid rewards" programming, my total cost for driving so far this month is a negative $2. Not speaking of the superior performance... 030
Pork Baron @porkbaron.bsky.social · 15/08/2026LOL. I think sneaking out without saying goodbye should be acceptable to us humans as well! 020
Pork Baron @porkbaron.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Are humans the only species that say "goodbye"? We normally spend a minute saying "hello" and another one saying goodbye. Our cat Essie spends 5 minutes saying hello and then leaves without saying a word. 270
Pork Baron @porkbaron.bsky.social · 14/08/2026For Dunning Kruger to manifest, the person has to have *some* knowledge of the subject, like 101 level. That person may think they know more than they do, and declare themselves experts. A person with no or minimal knowledge is not having Dunning Kruger, thhey are just being an ignorant idiot. 010
Pork Baron @porkbaron.bsky.social · 14/08/2026This is how I feel trying to get things done in the office. 110
Pork Baron @porkbaron.bsky.social · 11/08/2026JoAnna is a much better host than Nick and Vanessa. She is keeping the peace and genuinely seems to care about the contestants; the Lacheys seem to want to incite conflict and cause drama. Am I wrong? 020
Pork Baron @porkbaron.bsky.social · 11/08/2026I bet door knocker recruitment religious groups would do a lot better if they brought pizza. 120
Pork Baron @porkbaron.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Well I'm a convert. Assuming this pizza trick works. 220
Pork Baron @porkbaron.bsky.social · 11/08/2026I would argue that agnosticism (defined as the rejection that knowledge exists) in reality makes it impossible to make decisions. If you still can't be sure it's raining when you get wet... it's a almost psychotic worldview. Act based on what's likely true, as far as we "know". 010
Pork Baron @porkbaron.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Sounds like there are bad atheists out there co-opting the term for their own purposes. I'm 100 percent with you. That's the way I always understood it too. 020
Pork Baron @porkbaron.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Assumption atheists are stupid. Anyone trying to build or boost their identity and self confidence on absolutes should be summarily ignored. 000
Pork Baron @porkbaron.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Oh yeah the will to live and get better I believe has great healing powers. Same brain, just the conscious part motivating the unconscious parts. 110
Pork Baron @porkbaron.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Very true. It's the rejection of the existence of knowledge, and about as far from science as you can get. Of course we will never REALLY KNOW the true nature of existence, but we have to act based on what science tells us it is. 000
Pork Baron @porkbaron.bsky.social · 11/08/2026If you want to investigate why someone healed without a ready explanation, you turn to science, collect evidence, build a theory, investigate and test it. For me, the leap from something explained to presume existence of a god is leap of faith I am not willing to make. :) 130
Pork Baron @porkbaron.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Actually, the expansion of the universe makes distances longer, but doesn't create extra matter. So you would be the same weight but more volume. I'm so sorry for writing this. 120
Pork Baron @porkbaron.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Sounds like some kind of militant atheist view that I hope people don't share in general. I certainly don't. I am an atheist and I live and love based on the presumption that god doesn't exist. It's not a belief, it's a absence of belief and a trust in science. 120
Pork Baron @porkbaron.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Yes it is. When confronted with contradictory evidence to a held belief, your belief will have to change. But upon till that point you will assume that what science has told you so far is the truth. Any reasonable atheist should change their mind if exposed to proof of god's existence. 330
Pork Baron @porkbaron.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Accepting the *possibility* of something (like god, flying spaghetti monster, bigfoot) without any kind of evidence is not science. In science you develop a hypothesis and then try to disprove it; if not, you are not doing science. Accepting anything as possible makes knowing anything impossible. 210
Pork Baron @porkbaron.bsky.social · 11/08/2026I don't like AI generated content, AT ALL, but sometimes you have to make an exception. 3250
Pork Baron @porkbaron.bsky.social · 05/08/2026No, I get that. It's a good idea to manage emergencies by capturing - and hopefully - relocating invasive species in this situation. I was more speaking in general terms about how we value animals differently because of their spaces. In the end we are all part of wonderful whole of nature. 100
Pork Baron @porkbaron.bsky.social · 04/08/2026So birds have more rights than cats? Birds kill for food all day, and there are a lot more birds than cats on the planet. 300
Pork Baron @porkbaron.bsky.social · 04/08/2026BlueSky will never become Xified due to the simple fact that it is a distributed system without an algorithm deciding what you see. Follow people you like, use your "Following" feed (or create your own, which is very easy), and you will never be exposed to MAGA idiots or govt propaganda. 000
Reposted by Pork BaronMark T. Sneed @marktsneed.bsky.social · 03/08/2026The whole point of the Bill of Rights is to protect the only true minority - the individual. It limits the governments power to harm the individual. The whole constitution is designed to limit the governments power. 276114033662
Pork Baron @porkbaron.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Haupt is great. I think they have about 15 flavors but Svenskjävlar! is their big hit. Awesome stuff. First you cry from the pain, then you cry from the pleasure. 120
Pork Baron @porkbaron.bsky.social · 19/07/2026I was thinking making fish and chips with pickled herring. I know this is probably a terrible idea, but my quest for knowledge may get the better of me. 110
Pork Baron @porkbaron.bsky.social · 19/07/2026I am an school-trained chef that have worked in US restuarants. At home I am trying to be creative and cook dishes from all over the world. Today I looked at my shopping list. Big potatoes Small potatoes Herring Crispbread Butter Coffee It's hard to take the Swedish out of me. 170
