⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨18-26 year olds, How do you plan to dodge the draft?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
German here, so provably not applicable as it was 17 years ago (jeez) and a climate when they were just getting rid of it (only to reintroduce it again this year)

I avoided “Wehrdienst” by rolling in hungover with sunglasses and a Hawaiian shirt, botching their written test and telling them how much I enjoy going to leftist demonstrations and how I can’t wait to hold a weapon in my hand.

I think they don’t enjoy the idea of arming and training leftists.

No matter what world we live in, we can always find community. Sure, if it comes to full on fascism, finding it might be dangerous, but that’s not the case in many parts of the world.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨love venn diagrams🫶⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
You’re much more likely for this to develop organically than finding someone through an app (which I inferred would be your plan since otherwise you wouldn’t be exposed to people in general)
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨spoopy figs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
I live in Bavaria. There are multiple politicians who don’t get tired to performatively eat sausages and try to make laws that ban calling oat milk “milk” and vegan burgers/schnitzel/… as if anyone would ever get confused by that.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨spoopy figs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Regarding your last paragraph: that’s unrelated. There are also lots of insufferably vocal meat eaters who feel personally attacked when someone else doesn’t religiously stuff themselves with meat every meal.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨..?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Where is that? I’ve never once heard of read of “antisemitism” being used that way
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨..?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
No on both accounts. You’re wrong, both in your attempt to regulate my language and your assertion.

You can literally find (actual real non-AI) footage of people being close enough to the explosion that they should be terrified, but they’re elated instead.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨..?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
When I was 14, I also wisecracked that, but then
1. I learned that linguistics is a descriptive discipline, not a prescriptive one: meaning correspond to usage, not what a word is “supposed” to mean
2. I realized that words often have meanings that don’t correspond to their literal translation
So no, antisemitism doesn’t refer to any semitic tribes that aren’t Jewish.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨..?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

make-up religion

You’re getting tautological here mate.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨..?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Conflating Israel and Jews is called antisemitism. If someone is just anti-Israel, they don’t become antisemitic from that (but it sure invites a lot of antisemites who smell a possible convert)
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨..?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Nah, try listening to Iranians. They love that he got exploded.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨..?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Which is idiotic. I’m an anarchist for example.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨..?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
I think if he died of cancer, the Iranian people wouldn’t celebrate as hard as they do right now.

That’s what their actions felt like for decades yet somehow they’ve always kept chugging along.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pick wisely⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Probably just people trying to buy in early to the new meme meta
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Taste the flavor⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Numbing kind of, but it more feels like vibration or “buzzing”, it’s hard to describe
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Taste the flavor⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
There’s also menthol and whatever compound is in Szechuan pepper.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nope, not visiting that⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
That’s because I don’t know or care if he did something.

All I’m saying that asking for abuse to happen would make one complicit in it happening no matter how actively one could participate in the abuse afterwards.

It’s quite a similar concept really. It’s while charges starting with “conspiracy to …” exist.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nope, not visiting that⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I’m not implying anything, I’m saying that if he wanted, he could have done a lot of things by meeting people who would make it happen for him.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nope, not visiting that⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Lol, way to demonstrate your ignorance.

He cheated on his wife with his nurse, that’s why they separated.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lightbulbs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Ooo what an amazing idea!

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wokeness ended, check mate leftists ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Not if you interpret it as “sufficient but not necessary”.

anyone I’m into is a woman, but there are also women in not into

Set theory yo
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What a great idea⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
The USA continues to baffle me. You people still have paper checks? I haven’t seen one in at least 30 years in Europe (before that I was too little to care about such things, so I might never have seen one)
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mama!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Sorry, I’m not a physicist, but the big bang happening everywhere at once isn’t up for debate. As far as I understand, it’s a well-settled fact. Read the article!
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mama!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
The big bang didn’t happen in a pattern, it happened everywhere at once: nasaspacenews.com/…/is-the-universe-infinite-new-…

The universe expanding means it gets sparser. It has no edge and no center, so it’s not spherical. It’s either infinite or repeating (e.g. it might be the surface of a 4D torus, but as said: that doesn’t imply an edge). I personally believe it’s infinite and not repeating.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mama!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
I’m not philosophizing with this one, the idea that the universe might be truly infinite is very much an accepted possibility among physicists. There’s no conclusive evidence for or against infinity so something about your assertion here must be wrong.

I’m not a physicist, so I can only speculate what might be wrong: maybe it’s because an explosion in our understanding is within a medium, whereas the big bang didn’t happen “inside of a bigger space”. So the big bang wasn’t a point in 3D space because space only started existing with the big bang.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mama!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
That’s pretty cool sci-fi!
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mama!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Earth is fine, it’s seen worse than humanity. Geology doesn’t care about what biology does.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mama!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
There’s also no reason to believe that the big bang happened at one “point”. I believe that the universe (and therefore the big bang) are infinite.

Everything is relative, so something infinite can still expand: since there’s no absolute speed, galaxies can move away from each other everywhere, at all times.
