Food curatorial choices / Huge shopping carts don't belong in small bathrooms
At the grocery store a woman brought her shopping cart into the cramped
bathroom. I don't know how she
managed to get it in there. Why not leave it outside? She hadn't paid for her
groceries yet. Are you guarding your food curatorial choices? Do you think someone
is going to say, "Milk, bread, and eggs ... never thought of that. I'm taking
this one! Quick before she washes her hands!"? I
wonder if there's something to the psychology of anticipated ownership.

Enantiomers
Enantiomers +/- 62.5
Spearmint oil [(R)-(–)-carvone] and caraway seed oil [(S)-(+)-carvone] smell different even though they have exactly the same molecules because, since the molecules are attached differently, they fit into different receptors.
It's like you are the molecule and the receptors are your friends. The people around you can bring out different parts of yourself. You are the same person, but it is received such that you're the same but different. People view you differently even though you're the same person.
Enantiomers are reflections but can't be superimposed. Even though it's a reflection like in a mirror, they aren't the same. In this way it's an illusion. It suggests being identical, but never will be.
So, are we the same person? Of course, but we act differently around different people and they receive us differently even if we are acting in the same way.

A masculine car
Overheard a guy saying that even though his
vehicle cost him "probably $60 more per week in gas" he would never own a
Prius because it wasn't "manly." He
actually said it would threaten his masculinity. But wouldn't someone truly masculine not be
threatened? And if we're going to
be cis-heteronormative about things, aren't making decisions (like which car to buy) based
on logic rather than emotion considered a more
masculine approach? Even if you're annoying and not going to save the environment, be consistent please! Then again, if everyone subconsciously makes decisions emotionally and later justifies them with logic, maybe he's just more enlightened than I am and the joke's on me.
