It does, I used to do that sometimes by finding a window where the sun was shining direct, and just stretching out there in the nude. My current apartment doesn't get direct sun like that.

Exactly, and it shouldn't be hard to find someone willing to do that job for 3 days a week.

Wilders wants to ban mosques

That's cool, as long as we ban churches, cathedrals, synagogues, and temples at the same time.

I really didnt know this guy was still around, he hasn't been making the world headlines so much in recent years.

"machines can make all the food and stuff"

Don't see any reason why we couldn't have maintainence and repair robots as well, so what manufacturing employees?

There is no point. At least, there's no overarching design or plan behind your existence. Instinctively we are driven to survive, so the question is: what else?

While we exist, we have senses which can provide pleasure or pain, so the most selfish answer would be to seek pleasures and enjoy them while you can. The correlary being to minimize pain or suffering, which serves as a check on unrestrained pleasure.

I like to take this a step further and work not only to optimize my own pleasure, but the pleasure of others around me. Then guilt is no longer an issue because your pleasure is complementary to theirs. They benefit when you reduce their pain and vice versa.

I believe the original problem stems from artifically self-imposed limitations and expectations on what should be, rather than engaging with what is and imagining what could be.

Look I understand, I really do.

When I was a kid, I was told to beware of clothes irons because they are hot.

But one day, curiosity got the better of me, and I touched the damn thing to see if it was hot. Hurt like hell, still have the scar to this day. But I don't touch hot surfaces anymore.

Go on Argentina, touch the iron :)

To be fair, he's extremely busy plotting the destruction of LGBTQ people, and doesn't really have time for much else

see nothing, hear nothing, say nothing

which language?

the pilgrim thing is all made up anyway

explain

European protestants (pilgrims) did in fact colonize North America, and they were extremely thankful for being able to survive a year, starting from basically nothing. I can blame them for many things, but not that. Also harvest celebrations are universal.

ITT people queueing up to justify antisemitism.

Jews have been the scapegoats of the world's problems for thousands of years. All of these people taking their sanctimonious "pro-Palestinian / anti-Zionist" stances are literally descendants of antisemitic ideology which is deeply rooted in Christianity, Islam and European politics.

They will say Israel stole land. But ignore how many other countries exist because of thousands of years of violent conflict. Can we talk about ethnic cleansing not only during, but after WWII where people of German ancestry even if they had no blood on their hands, were raped, massacred and driven out of certain countries and blanket pardens were given so "they weren't war crimes." Yet everyone accepts these countries and their current ethnic makeup.

I stand by my position which is that in our current global political system, the ability to occupy and defend land is the determining factor of sovereignty and almost all of us benefit directly from past atrocities. And that has been the case throughout history.

If we want a better world, and I'm all for that, we have to begin with honesty and self-reflection. Piling on one country/group is a distraction and won't solve anything.

I can see BO. I envision this putrid green cloud suspended in the air, winding around the path they had taken as they walked among aisles.

A sixth sense I never wanted :'(

Taking a daily shower is definitely not enough for some people to eliminate body odor.

source: me, work with very diverse range of people doing very physical labor

So here is what I've noticed.

The acceptance of sweat BO is partly a cultural thing. At my workplace we have people from all over the world, and there are certain parts of the world where it is clearly uncommon to wear deoderant. Both men and women, although I have noticed it far more with men. I guess if everyone had natural BO, it wouldn't seem so unusual.

This is not to be confused with uncleanliness, I'm sure these people shower, the scent is purely one of sweat from hard physical labor. It is never better or worse, but always the same and in fact, you can identify people by their particular unique scent.

Ugh there was a guy like that at work. Indeed if he had walked by within 5min, you could tell as the pungence lingered in the air.

I've never once noticed someone's body odor

You are truly fortunate xD

I work in a warehouse and omg the things I have smelled. The worst is when the person working in front of me has strong BO and a fan is blowing it into my face all day.

The Nazis literally used custom made IBM punch cards to keep records of their undesirables. I know society at large was mostly unaware of computers, but did they did play a role in WWII. We see cipher devices like Enigma in historical documentaries and fiction, but we don't see the computers that calculated bomb and rocket trajectories, and least of all the Nazi's database which seems quite well buried in footnotes, though it was critical in the holocaust.

Yep, now look up the dark past of basically any large corporation that existed at that time... wild stuff.

it makes me wonder why, when we see WWII movies or documentaries, why they are doing everything analog? Typewriters, handwritten letters, when we know they had IBM computers, which were sold to the Nazis including during the war, in direct contravention of sanctions. Could it be they want to hide that unsavory bit of history

I feel like if we compiled all the transphobe doom-quotes together, we would have the ingredients for a badass science fiction story...

If only being transgender was as romantic and exciting as they make it sound. Mostly it's boring and stressful, just trying to survive and find meaning like anyone else xD
