• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come there is not a pope without grey hair? I mean a much younger pope like 30s 40s. Really can't be that hard. You got an ocean of cardinals and priests who pretty much tell say?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Electing a young pope is too risky.
  He doesn’t have a long track record and may still change his views, so he’s less predictable.
  And he could guide the church in a “wrong” direction for half a century.

  In the middle ages, popes were often elected at a younger age, but they were also less reluctant to “dispose of” a bad one, or excommunicate him for devil worship and elect a competing one.

  The seeds are carried by birds and can survive in a dormant state for years.
  Lots of stuff like trees washed away by rivers end up floating in the ocean.
  But it’s also perfectly feasible that a limited trade happened far in the past.
  Polynesians show that you can reliably cross even the pacific on boats made using stone tools and fire.

  Does anyone who aged out of middle school care about that insult?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jakarta overtakes Tokyo as world's largest city, according to UN⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I went down a Wikipedia rabbit hole about the world’s biggest cities and a lot of it is down to how city limits are defined. Which is different in every country.
  In some example I can’t remember off the top of my head, the average population density of a huge “city” was lower than that of the Netherlands.

  I’d much rather turn a blind corner and find myself standing right in front of a grizzly mother with her cubs than a hippo or a moose.

  The people who ride them don’t want to ride a bicycle. They want to ride a motorcycle that can bypass jammed roads, without license or registration.

  The only thing the Dutch shoot is Marijuana directly into their veins.

  I only played up to MW3, back then the meta was maxing out on armor and medium range lasers. Go in close , aim for the opponent’s leg, shoot. Your mech powers down from the heat for a couple seconds, but the other mech is out of the action. Proceed to one-shot almost every opponent.

  What does this even mean?
  Who “organizes” bodies?
  If a body can’t and never could produce gametes, what makes it “organized” to do so anyway?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OnLy tWo eLemEnTs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Biology is the study of life, and even the definition of what constitutes “life” becomes very fuzzy when you look at it too closely. For every set of properties you can define that need to be met for something to be alive, there are edge cases and outliers in nature.

  But some produce neither.

  I don’t know what the terminology is exactly.
  She enjoys sex, but she doesn’t really have a sex drive. For her it’s a completely optional fun activity, not a need.
  But we cuddle and kiss a lot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My parents moved into separate bedrooms when I was 6. My mom moved out when I was 10.
  It was an incredible relief for us children. Not because we hated her or anything.
  But the fighting stopped. Both of them stopped drinking daily. The constant, tense atmosphere at home was gone.
  We continued living with our dad, but spent most of the day at our mom’s place 3x a week.
  Weekends were usually spent with both parents. Because since they weren’t forced to live together anymore, they actually got along very well in a friendly way.
  Later we celebrated big holidays together with my parents AND their respective new partners, and my mom was present at my dad’s second wedding, as was her new partner.
  It probably doesn’t work out like that very often. But your children feel when a marriage is only sustained “for their sake”, even if they aren’t conscious of it and can’t put it into words. So separation can also be better for them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not all men are the same, so there is no one answer to this.
  It definitely wouldn’t be a deal-breaker for me. I’m in a similar situation with my wife and we have a very happy marriage.
  One condition for me personally is that I’m free to “take care of myself” without her having issues with that, or interrogating me who I think about when I do it.
  Whether you’re OK with your partner watching porn is another subject you’ll have to discuss with him.
  So basically, the golden rule of relationships applies: Everything is allowed as long as everyone involved consents willingly.

  It really is. It’s almost half as much fun as bombing down a winding forest road with no car traffic on a bicycle.

  back then, windshields had no anti-reflective coating and headlights were a lot dimmer. You couldn’t see shit outside the car with a light on inside.
