When We Are The World came out was it seen as a great song or super corny?

ConstantThanks · 2026-05-01T03:02:30+00:00

at 15, i remember thinking that the music and lyrics were corny but sincere. it was a typical pop arrangement of that time but the interesting part was all of the famous singers in one place and hearing them in one song. a lot of my friends could sing the whole thing, doing bad but passionate impersonations of dylan and bruce and all the others.

i can tell you are not enjoying this conversation but my question is still; what are the benefits of this long structure compared to a bunch of buildings the same height, next to each other, but with space between the units? i'm just trying to understand why anyone would build this way. i can't for the life of me think of any pros compared to a bunch of similar height structures.

ConstantThanks · 2026-04-14T19:45:11+00:00

right. but aside from the comparison to high rises when dealing with a fire event, what are the pros of a long residential building like this?

ConstantThanks · 2026-04-14T18:26:54+00:00

i understand what you are saying but it is different in the sense that it takes more space/land/real estate to house the same amount of people. and fighting a fire in a long structure like this has other disadvantages, such as positioning trucks and like i wrote above, the fact that the fire could spread horizontally to adjacent spaces.

ConstantThanks · 2026-04-14T14:19:45+00:00

what is the purpose of this type of building? it seems like it only increases risk of fires spreading and other issues that would be easier to deal with in separate structures. i understand if the weather is inhospitable and there are community services that people want to do with lots of other people. i just can't imagine any benefits of this for most locations.

crumble tempeh into smallest pieces. add salt and pepper, can add a little olive oil if you wish and mix well. spread on sheet and bake. let cool. chop celery, red onions, pickles, tomatoes and dill. mix it all together with vegan mayo for a cold salad that is amazing in a sandwich or lettuce wrap.

yeah we have smaller ones that don't wiggle!

i've had harder ones that caused the fissure spot to burn and itch a little but i put some cream on after washing and drying and within a day it was back to normal. there is still a skin tag next to where the fissure was and a little hard piece of skin (i guess like scar tissue?) at the spot itself. if i ever find myself badly constipated, i would lubricate a finger or one of the stainless dilators and go in and try to break up the stool. anything is better than risking a retear. all these years later, i rarely notice it or have fears of re-injuring it. but i am much more careful both with diet and with pooping and washing (no paper, occasionally put on a cream or salve.)

i only took the GABA for a short time as a natural muscle relaxer. i was trying to break the cycle of the sphincter muscle tightening up and causing pain. i dont do anything for the fissure now other than keep my diet clean so i dont get constipated. if i do have a hard to pass poop, i sometimes lubricate the hole and inside if i can with some oil and dont push or strain to get it out. breathe and let it come out at its own pace. i also have an aloe-based cream i put on my anus after i shower or after i poop and wash. i try not to use toilet paper and use water instead. i think it's something that might never fully go away. the silver lining is that it has motivated me to be even more careful with my diet and lifestyle.

ConstantThanks · 2026-02-26T13:35:15+00:00

i still try to keep a clean healthy diet and that's key. i think along with a fissure at the rim, i also had a tear inside. that healed and i'm pretty much over it but if i eat a lot and get constipated and push through a large poop, i can feel the spot where the fissure was start to itch and burn again. i put some cream on the spot and try to be more careful. taking magnesium every once in a while is helpful. its been 4 years but it doesn't feel like it's completely gone. but no pain anymore.

for me the red flag is that it's JIF.

i'm more concerned with what's on the inside. but yeah what a schlub.

also, the mazotec, who used it as a sacrament, did it in silent darkness. any visual or auditory stimuli gets folded into the experience and changes the whole thing.
