    It’s a chemical bath because there are various chemicals that they’re using to bathe them. I was lumping ozone bath, sodium bicarb bath and AlEW bath together and they’re all 3 different chemicals.

    It’s a bath because they’re being bathed which has nothing to do with scrubbing.

    AlEW bath is 48–85% after 45 minutes at a PH of 12

    Refrigeration was 60.9–90.2%. A 20 minute water bath was 26.7–62.9%.

    My advice is, and always was, scrub your veggies for 30 seconds before use.

    Your advice is plan it out so that you’ve got a high PH solution that you leave your veggies in for 45 minutes before use.

    If you see those as equal I have no idea how. I cook all the time - the amount of times that I’ve got 45 minutes of prep before starting is next to 0. I can’t eat at 9pm every night because I spent an hour waiting around for veggies to purify when I can simply wash them off in the sink.

    It’s insane that you wont see reason, but I get that you’ve decided you’re right and can never change your mind.

    AlEW was not the baking soda, it’s a separate thing if I understood it correctly.

    Additionally you’re complaining that nobody rinses their food for 30 seconds while expecting them to bathe it in high ph water for 45 minutes??

    Furthermore they were comparing it not with rinsing and running but rather just soaking it in water for 20 minutes.

    And despite all that card stacking water still was 69% removal at its high range, which overlaps significantly with the low range of the chemical baths.

    I’ll keep rinsing and running, thanks.






  • Here’s a different framing that might help:

    Diabetics are normal people who happen to have a chemical deficiency that requires constant monitoring and chemical intervention. Some days diabetics will struggle to participate in society at all because of sugar level management.

    You’re an emotional diabetic, just like me. I’ve got my emotional insulin tuned pretty well but there are still days where I struggle to find the willpower.

    Give yourself the space and the grace to have down times, especially since you know during up times you’ll enjoy what you do. See if there’s any self care you can do to make the down times less bad.

    Good luck brother/sister.












  • The problem pretty consistently is they have simple solutions to complex problems and refuse to use nuance in anything.

    They’ve reduced the problem space to one they can comprehend, have come to a conclusion about it, and now refuse to ever bend or change opinion.

    If your regime is vocally on their side they’ll defend it unironically and ardently. If your regime has ever shown any pushback you’re a Western pig with shitballs.

    It’s a very comforting worldview honestly. Having come from a radical religious upbringing I know how nice it is to just take a razor and slice the world in 2. Good guys on one side, bad guys on the other and never the twain shall meet. Bad people are eternally bad and the only way for them to not be bad is for them to look, talk and act like us because we’re good.

    The problem of course is that it is exceptionally rare that you find someone who believes what they’re doing is wrong and continually fights for it because they enjoy being wrong. Everyone lands on continuous spectrums of belief and action and they’re usually doing what they think is right/good.

    To be clear: I’m not saying I understand the entire problem space. I’ve read Marx and Gramsci. I’m not uninformed: I just know that the complexity of human systems are nigh on incomprehensible when attempting to solve them in their entirety. I don’t think the problem of government and economic organization is solvable so much as it is something we can do better than we currently do. It will never be perfect, but we can aim for good enough.

    For what it’s worth I’m definitely in the big government camp rather than the anarchism camp: and yes I’m aware which community this is. Just calling out my own biases here.
