I suggest getting a reusable 2-in-1 spray/pour bottle. Saves a little money if you’re buying two things of oil. If you’re as frugal as me then you buy the oil from a discount store too.

Yeah. I am Chicano but identify more with my indigenous side and am friends with plenty of Native Americans. I’ve always personally blamed Judeo-Christian thinking. The whole manifest destiny mindset is insane.
I mean read just a piece of how different things were before those religions came to this land.
A second, related factor was the absence of large domestic animals in North America, which meant that instead of the ‘intensive’, ploughing-and-manuring agriculture practised in Europe, Native American farmers used ‘extensive’ techniques, cultivating an area for a few years and then moving on to let the soil recover. Most groups - hunters and plant-gatherers as well as agriculturists - viewed land as a common resource rather than a commodity that could be owned. Tribes and families had the right to hunt, fish or grow crops in defined places, but the concept of a fenced-off parcel of land being the exclusive property of an individual would have been utterly alien to most, if not all, Native Americans. The Indian attitude towards land was part of a broader, more fundamental understanding of reality which underpinned the whole of native life. Although, again, there were enormous local variations in mythology and ritual, some of the essentials of this world-view were shared by many, if not most, cultures. Perhaps the most basic element was the belief in sacred power: the idea that everything in the universe was interconnected and possessed a spiritual force or energy that could affect the lives of ‘the people’ and of all other living things. Gaining power and the aid of powerful beings was absolutely vital: for success in hunting, plentiful crops, good health, thriving children and victory in battle. But power was also dangerous.

I don’t think OP was making fun of the people who died at all. Rather this is probably how Trump (a demented narcissist btw) probably sees this whole situation. We gotta have some room of humor. I would agree with you if OPs joke was just “9/11 lol” but there’s a lot of context here.

It’s good to have perspective. Even in the most depraved corners of humanity. Do not get too close because the corner will grip you and never let go. But you need to know where those corners are. You learn who you are by learning who you are not.
I am not erect. I have no shame for I have witnessed it and was not charmed.

PS3 was the last revolutionary console imo. It’s my favorite as well. It was focused on gaming but I could watch porn on it too! Plus it had blue ray!

Yeah this is how I see it too. When I say televised I usually mean commercially provided.

It’s more the cliche of sex workers saying they’ll do “anything” as a kind of innuendo without incriminating themselves. The joke is playing off the use of the word “anything”
- Comment on Sound of silence 1 month ago:
There’s a point where its way too obnoxious but I think it’s fine as long as you find your own space. We all kind of silently claim spots in public spaces like the beach so just claim somewhere that is not too close to other people.
When I want the serenity I go off to the side where no one is. I don’t think it’s a big deal.
