  Eat with the right, touch anus with the left and always wash hands before you eat. Developed cultures have done this for ages. And they have clean bumholes because they wash instead of smear with toilet paper. That shit is disgusting.

  Is there a difference between the two different entrances?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re right, I’ll retract the recommendation 😉

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I met my partner on an app and would not have met them otherwise. It can be a great way to meet interesting people.

  I would recommend trying a few and finding one that fits your interests/people in your area use.

  Also investigate what the apps do with your data. You are sharing some very personal/sensitive data with them. Make sure they take godo care of it.

  I personally like Feeld, because it is great for different kinds of relationships and that fits me well, as well as they seem to take care of my data.

  Pretty sure all your electronics are imported from another country. That what the carrot is complaining about though, isn’t he?

  Using body wash in itself is not manly.

  This kid needs spelling lessons indeed, time to sign up for extra lessons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You can’t hold 6 year old kids accountable for stupid stuff they do. I totally understand your feelings, but the best thing you can do is just be a nice person. So take care of others, but also of yourself. Only give when you have something to give, but also only take what you really need. The hurt and shame might stay, but try to nourish it. Us it as inspiration for being a good person from now on. Feed it with more self-punishment and it will only get heavier, like a stone arouns your neck that’s growing and pulling you under. Nobody will be happier when you drown, so don’t. Just do your best, that’s all you can do ❤️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can US citizens do to fight/prevent their country enabling genocide?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Speak up, tell people what you think and why.

  If that doesn’t work: something was added to your constitution for this situation, the second amendment. You can use your six shooter to go up to the government’s tank and gunships. Good luck.

  Maybe refrain from using running chainsaws, but apart from that the park sounds like a great place to practice juggling!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are popes always really old?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because old people die soon, so it’s difficult to really mess stuff up. It’s like an automatic failsafe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No because once outside of the US people realise the country is shit and they don’t want to come back anymore, so this will not work sadly enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Linux. For desktops I like it as well, but I can understand some arguments against it. However, for all other cases there is hardly any match. The internet basically runs on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends where you live. In America? Yes you’re a jerk because you are questioning the American “dream”. Anywhere else? As long as you explain why and support your kid in whatever choice he/she makes you’re fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon hates smartphones⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think capitalism/communism is a binary thing. I think (hope at least) there are more options.

  I also think that the problem with smartphones is that they are designed to get you “hooked”. The companies doing that are hoping to influence your behaviour so you will buy more of your stuff. And because we live in a society where capitalism is seen as holy and just, we let them.

  I think we don’t really have a free choice anymore. Companies know how to always win, they are too good at influencing through advertisement and design choices. And without actual free choice capitalism does not work. Anyone telling you that we have a free choice to not buy a product or to not use a smartphone, lies. A choice is not free if companies can and do spend millions of dollars to influence my choice.

  Also, capitalism requires a free market to function. But a true free market will always end in a monopoly, because the biggest company can always buy the other smaller companies, again breaking the free market. So there is a catch-22 problem in the system.

  TL;DR - Capitalism is slavery, except if you are the CEO.

  I just make warm chocolate milk, let the weed stay in there for a bit while heating up, then strain and enjoy. I quite like the grassy undertone in the milk.

  I’m happy to live in a developed country when I see this. Enjoying it while it lasts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's right!⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Exclusivity in a romantic relationship is a social construct. Look into ENM. It might not fit you or it just might.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honey⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My point is that there is no real way to explain what “vegan” really is, since it means different things to different people and all of these people have the best intentions.

  So my point actually is, instead of focussing on what to call “vegan” and what not, the discussion should be about bees.

  For instance, do they care if you take their honey? Are they harmed? And should I care about whether they are harmed?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honey⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  True. Though marketing is a cancer in itself. But I guess that’s a different discussion 😬

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honey⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Stupid discussion. It does not matter whether something is in the box “vegan”. Ask yourself why you would or would not eat something. If you don’t want to eat(/drink) dairy because of the way the animals that produce the dairy are treated, would you be ok when they are treated differently? Are bees treated in the same way? Does it matter if you treat them in this way? Those should be your questions, not “does it belong in this box?”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does the media print rags to riches stories?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Indeed, instead of what they need. It’s like only giving sugar to your kid to eat instead of vegetables, because that’s what they “want”. Oh wait that’s actually what happens as well

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does the media print rags to riches stories?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  People like to read those stories because it gives them hope it also happens to them. Media print stories that you want to read, that’s how they make money.

  Other stories people like to read: how to world is going to shit (evolutionairy important to prepare to survive), what someone that’s familiar to you did (evolutionary important to be social to work together to survive), stories about how someone else did something stupid (complaining about that toghether gives yoh a sense of belonging) and stories about how a pet cat was retrieved (tickling that instinct to care for others again).

  As you can see, media is looking for stories that tickle your most basic insticts and needs, because they know that’s what you will be interested in, making you read their stories so they can make more money.

  Welcome to capitalism, you are the product.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the pros and cons to buying a smart watch from temu?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For me:

  • It tells time and is always correct, also during daylight saving season
  • It tells the weather forecast, I check it before leaving my house.
  • I like that the alarm wakes me up with vibration mode, but not my partner (yes I wear my watch at night, but around my ankle, pro-tip)
  • I like to easily read important notifications (I am quite strict in what it does show, so only texts from important people, my calendar and like bank notifications get through). Added benefit is that I don’t get distracted with other stuff because I don’t open my phone.
  • I often lose my phone, my watch is able to find it.
  • I use my watch to get simple navigation option when I go running/inline skating in an area I don’t know yet. Works better than the phone because I don’t have to hold the phone in my hand.
  • I set it up so my partner can see where I’m at. When I see a notification from them asking where I am I can easily (and safily) start the tracking without having to pull out my phone.
  • It tracks my heartrate, so I can do heartrate based training.

  So is it really necessary? No obviously not, I will survive without it, but I do like it a lot and would miss it of it wasn’t there. But that’s how it is for me, that does not mean it will be the same for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the pros and cons to buying a smart watch from temu?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ll be probably be happier with a higher quality watch than with one that barely works. I would not recommend going for an option because it’s cheap, instead go for the one that’s good enough for you needs.

  No need to buy the same one as I did, but I have been very happy with my “not the cheapest, not the most expensive”-garmin watch for years. It is reliable, does what i need it to do and is not so expensive that i am afraid of breaking it for instance. I did need to make choices to be able to get it, i could not spend that money on other things, but that only made me feel better when I got it.

  More on topic: it’s easy to find accesoires/replacement parts for my watch, it’s easier to get it repaired, both at garmin as well as a local shop, the software has a lot of integration option with other software (strava, komoot, etc.) and i can download apps and watch faces other people with the same watch built and i can be sure my alarm goes off in the morning. I don’t expect the temu watch to have these things. For me it was worth to pay a bit more. Sidenote: I did get a screen protector for my watch from AliExpress, so apparently I’m not against that 😏

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where do you even meet people anymore?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In my country it’s possible to join clubs, for instance for a sport you like. I also like it as a way to meet new people because there is time to talk but also an activity to avoid awkward silences.
