“Why the fuck is he waving and smiling at me each day? This is awkward? What should I do? Maybe just smile and wave back to make it less awkward.”

Hm okay. English is not my native language. I’ve checked this with a dictionary and found it to be an adequate description, even discussed this with ChagGPT. It pointed out that this can also be understood in the way you’ve described it.
What I meant were people who practise in esotericism, like briefly described here. Besides “stupid”, what do you suggest to describe such people?
Also, thanks for pointing that out!

If you’re happy with your life, that’s perfect!
As people are usually social creatures, it’s only natural if someone if in truth not happy about this. There are exceptions of course.
However, my comment was totally misplaced and condescending. My bad. Didn’t think much about it. I’m truly sorry about this.
I’ve deleted the comment.

You’re right. I’m sorry. I was just joking, but it’s not okay to do that by picking on someone who lives a harmless life.
I guess I felt a bit offended, since he sounded rather aggressive and condescending. But, not my business. Doesn’t affect me nor anyone else besides himself alone.
Thanks for pointing that out. I’ve deleted my comment.

but beyond that whatever means necessary to protect himself is justified. No one should be worrying about the safety of their attacker when they are defending themselves
Are burglars usually murderers? Don’t they usually care about stealing stuff to make some form of profit out of that?
I don’t share your view. You don’t need to kill someone in order to stop some form of crime. Especially not if there is no or a low risk of bodily harm.
Self defence only goes so far as to inrerrupt and disable an attack. The mildest means possible are the preferrable ones. For example, if some wants to beat you up, you don’t go on and kill them after you’ve defeated them and they’re unconscious on the ground.
In this case, the best the kid could’ve done is to just run away and call for help. It would’ve been safer for himself and prevented that he possibly might have become a murderer.Self defence has limits. And for good reason. You can’t just do anything you want, just because someone attacks you. You do what is necessary and possible for you. Nothing more, nothing less. Otherwise you yourself become a culprit.

Isn’t “esoteric people” an accurate description?
- Comment on SHAME. 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, we’ve got those who promise themselves health benefits from drinking raw milk. I have the impression that this is mostly prevalent in esoteric people, as usual with such stuff.
But such beneficial claims of raw milk consumption appear to be not scientifically sound and are a myth.

you broke into my house dude you aren’t gonna be praised
Of course not.
This kid has every right to be proud, in this situation we are nothing but animals and he did exactly the right thing.
So is it right to put deadly weapons into the hands of children?
What if he had killed the burglar? Good thing to have on the conscience of a child, right?Don’t get me wrong. I totally understand that in extreme situations people should defend themselves. But was this an extreme situation which justifies these actions?
What the child said is already deeply disturbing:
“I told him I was going to kill him if he didn’t get out of my house,” said Chris.
And why the fuck do children have access to weapons?
he grabbed a 9mm handgun
Then there is this:
The intruder made it out the front door, but that’s when Chris started firing off bullets. As the intruder was about to jump a fence, Chris’s 12th and final shot hit the bad guy in the leg.
( Citations from: wptv.com/…/chris-gaither-11-year-old-boy-shoots-i… )
Intruder was outside, going away, and the kid started shooting.
The kid could’ve just ran away. Instead of trying to kill someone or getting themselves killed by such a behaviour.No. The kid shouldn’t be proud. Neither should anyone. That’s just fucked up. And raising kids to become possibly killers is not making it better overall.
He can be lucky not to have killed that man and that he didn’t get seriously injured.People can and should be better than this.

and you’re naive if you don’t think violence is a potential outcome
Currently, of course. Point is, people can be better. On both sides. And instead of nurturing our compassion and collective support, we praise violence and let continue the wheel to roll which has already destroyed countless of lives.
- Comment on Intruder 3 weeks ago:
Imagine living in a society so deeply fucked up that some people feel the need to become burglars and others feel the need that attacking them with deadly weapons them is the only option.
And then imagine that this is celebrated.
Oh well…

Makes it easier to forget them and not being able to keep them apart. That’s really great for us. Less ads in our brains.

- Comment on Anon doesn't tip 1 month ago:
I don’t tip as well. But I live in a civilised country where everyone get’s at least a tolerable minimum wage. No one is paying me extra money just for doing my job. So I won’t either. If they want more, they need to talk to their employer.
Would I live in the United States of Idiots though, where a severe lack of ethical economic behaviour is observable, I indeed would tip the waiters, as that’s sadly their financial lifeline.
- Comment on Why did it take so damn long for humanity to "learn" how to draw/paint realistic images? 1 month ago:
The artist needs to use the brain and translate a lot, and I mean an awful lot, of the information seen in the model (3d space) into 2d.
Close one eye or put an eyepatch on. I’d expect this makes 3D -> 2D transformations easier after a while.

- Comment on Anon tests something 2 months ago:
I love those catchy titles. It’s not something like “The Molecular Basis of Taste Perception in Mammals: A Comprehensive Review and Future Perspectives on Taste Receptors in Male Reproduction”
Nah, they go with: “Taste perception: from the tongue to the testis”
Short and concise to the point. Scientists have a sense of humorous wordplays after all.

No, it’s a surgeon who is trained to use robotic assistance tools to do the surgery. Can help with precision for example.

Balls no taste. Taste IN balls not “on” balls. Taste not really “taste” like tongue, but rather sense how is sperm doing and tell brain.

I’ve always wanted to make a website like this. But then I got too addicted to some game and spent all my time on that instead. /j
Only partly joking, I really wanted to make a website similar to this. But then stuff happened. You know how it is.
(Here was an entire wall of text, where I detailed the idea, before I decided to delete it all again.)

Due to the “being allergic” part this is unfortunately not possible for me. But thanks for trying to provide me with a different perspective.
- Comment on Horseshoe crabs be like 3 months ago:
Fair point. Although one may say this is fine here for comic purposes.
The same argument could be made about the statement “Gods perfect creation”.
But I’d argue that the suggestion of a creationist god expands the distance to scientific contexts even more while simple speech bubbles are fine due to less ideological conflict potential.Admittedly, I am also rather allergic to religions, which is why I am having a difficult time with that part of the meme.
