That’s exactly the one I meant.

Yea insha’Allah is used when you make plans for example. “I’ll see you at the cafe at 3 if Allah wants it so”

There is a Christian bedtime story where I’m from. In the end it says something like “and you’ll wake up in the morning if god wants you to”. wtf what if god doesn’t want me to wake up tomorrow.

I look way older than I am. And I have a younger sister. So I am still cometely in on all the young people jokes, but teenagers address me with the formal “you” (German). And I feel betrayed by my own people every time. Best thing is when my sister is talking about an internet phenomenon and says “you wouldn’t understand” but I was literally there when it happened like five years ago.

So what I’m trying to say is I stopped feeling like a child when I wasn’t accepted as one anymore. Child and adult are (mostly! I’m not promoting pedophilia) societal norms.

What do you mean you don’t like that snakes bite people. That’s what they do.

I don’t know but have you ever taken a domestic flight? Or even a Schengen one? Open border policy woks wonders for data security and also quality of life in general

I don’t know about international food, but the German vegan meat companies like Rügenwalder Mühle and Like meat have made huge leaps last year. Mortadella, Fleischwurst, Schnitzel and Chicken Nuggets all taste almost identical to the original. Ground “meat” is close, but you have to chose the right kind for each recipe. More complex stuff is still really bad tho. I say all of this as a passionate vegan meat hater.

Ok so I study political science (second semester so not an expert at all) and last semester I had to research a lot about turnout rates for people in less fortunate situations. The answer is really simple actually. If people live in shit situations they don’t trust the government and they start to not care. Education is worse when you don’t have enough money. There is also a constant struggle to make politics feel closer to the people because that directly impacts if you will educate yourself and go participate. Unfortunately politics feels like it is either actively against you or at least doesn’t do anything for you if you are at the bottom .One thing that might be important in the US is that slums decrease political awareness / willingness to vote because these people who are probably not going to care are surrounded by more people that don’t care. So if noone around you says something good about the government you are going to hate it even more.

All of this leads to an underrepresentation of these groups which leads to their problems being overlooked or underestimated which leads to worse conditions which leads to less political activity which leads to less representation…its a cycle that makes millions of peoples lives worse every day. And at some point they just don’t care about politics because politics seems to not care about them. None of my sources are in English so get bozoed I could be lying about all of this.

I used to think that believes really don’t matter as long as the person doesn’t act on it, but almost all believes shape who we are. It starts with little comments and evolves into actions. It doesn’t have to be that way if people acknowledge harmful ideas, but if you let someone believe that women are worthless or that their race makes them superior for long enough they will become a bad person.

Does caving also include going into caves that have been explored and secured before? Or do you mean full on diving into the unknown? Because ive seen too many video essays and read too much H.P. Lovecraft to even think about that.

We’ll all make it one day.

Sounds like am amazing goal. People on the internet can hate on furries all they want but connecting to like-minded people in the real world is really nice. I hope you get there.

But how do you know? You should recognise that your view of the world is based on your internal beliefs and not factual information. Defeatism isn’t going to get you there.

Ohhh so a landlord. Checks out.

I don’t think I will metabolize anything after eating tons of co2. Just put me in a big glass jar and let me celebrate my victory until I’m inevitably taken down.

I want to eat them. Capture all the pollution in the blocks and I’ll eat them. Call me jesus or whatever but really I’m just doing it to prove a point

You forgot mentioning the chokers and thigh highs you have bought since then.

Serj Tankian infomercial voice: “The global number of maternal deaths in the hospital system, hospital system has halved since 1985”

What are you even advertising to those people? Is there something that people with HIV are really into collectively? I mean despite medication, but that is free in the UK, right?

Hey that’s sick. I thought I was alone. I got really interested in sewing and embroidery but I don’t really go on other social media so I never knew. It’s really relaxing, you can create your own stille and you don’t even have to be particularly “creative”.
