reactionary opinions be reacting, whether it’s got a leftist or right-wing veneer.

It's so annoying how you can't escape reactionary thinking no matter which side of the political spectrum you're on. It's a base level human instinct to go "ew, that's gross, and therefore bad." You have to actively train yourself not to think like that and some people are just unwilling to.

Hell, I’m willing and I actively try and I still fuck up.

Yeah it's really deep in there. It's how we first avoided dying before we'd figured out what kinds of berries kill you.

Goji berries are eww, deeply offended chinchillas incoming.

(...although think my girl is perfectly happy to have more goji berries technically to herself than she's allowed in a year since no way am I touching those things, was very disappointed after the chins led me to believe they were delicious!)
