But milk is (slightly) acidic, isn't that a product to avoid as well before brushing?

Well, he has a position to uphold; what about future generations growing up with a broke Scrooge.

Het klinkt vast cynisch, maar ik ben bloedserieus: Ik vind de voltooid leven wet van levensbelang. Als het echt de spuigaten uitloopt en het leven in mijn persoonlijke ervaring lijden is, om welke reden dan ook, wil ik dat ikzelf en andere mensen zonder al te veel drama met trefzekerheid een punt er achter kunnen zetten. Volgens mij is die vrije keuze voor het individu een volgende stap in de modernisering van onze maatschappij.

And moreover, I'm YOUR star? What is this capitalist bullshit, should everyone have their own star now, can't we just share 1 absurdly massive pile of hydrogen? Damnit, wish I was born in the East. Bunch of loonatics here.

Meanwhile in the East - What te fuck mom.. WHO do you say is our frickin' star..?

Ja top, die examens ga ik gebruiken als ik wat verder ben weer, bedankt. Brilliant had ik jarenlang een abonnement op, maar ik miste herhaling en meer focus op oefeningen; verder wel een mooi platform met veel stof inderdaad.

Khan Academy, welke me in de comments is aangeraden, is gratis en heeft iets meer herhaling heb ik het idee. Daar zit ik nu in te stoeien, en met plezier.

Dat ziet er interessant uit, Google vulde al direct aan met een PDF. Zal daar eens in neuzen, bedankt.

Ik heb die naam vaak gehoord, maar wist niet dat het zo leek op wat ik zocht. Dank! Ik ben inmiddels al een uurtje of anderhalf bezig :)

Last thing I heard at least ChatGPT 4 was said to be better, but that was a while ago (in terms of AI chatbot timelines). Do you perhaps have a source for the 10x better part?

Indeed, mainly because now you know for certain that with limited effort you're actually going to do fine.

They wake me with their lamenting.

I read that too. The difficulty is in that this could be intentional misinformation to get away with it. Not saying that it is, but it would not be the first time in war that parties blame each other.

This one is also pretty cool, couple of years ago. It was the first time I heard they had incorporated touch, but looks awesome.

Wow, I've never heard anybody say that; is that a regional thing? Just like "Je niest" and that's the response?

We say the same in the Netherlands, and sometimes we also say the equivalent for "cheers", not sure why though.

And even that's only in the optimistic situation where you can always fully trust "1", also in the future.

Windows 7 truly was a blessing; fresh new update and performant, but before the double interface hell and advanced taskbar shit with intrusive ads implemented.

At least that's how I remember it.

Good solution, perhaps two simple options at browser install: Default / Custom. That way you don't have to uninstall all the stuff at the end.

Thank you for your patience with me. I think I understand you better now, as I sense you might have added some additional perspectives to my views. I'll let it simmer in my mind a bit. Thanks again.

I understand that you are frustrated, but in my opinion you are using a lot of black/white arguments. Let's try to work this out, as I think definition differences and perspective are confusing things.

A. I'm not saying porn is the only way out, I'm saying it's an outlet of existing (sexual) urges. Watching porn is as necessary as eating meat, both are not needed to survive and have not been accessible to people in the past per se. It's an urge you can act on, purely for pleasure. Just like toying with one's new iPhone can be considered a pleasure, while we might want to look for a more sustainable alternative that is not build on workforce abuse of all ages. But indeed, not all phones are bad, there is nuance and most people will need one. Just like not all food is bad, but we've got some pretty nasty stuff done to our fellow-earthlings. But there is nuance.

B. Porn can be consensual stimulating graphic imagery, for example in the form of a couple sharing part of their love life, a photoshoot of a nude model, but it can also be found in ancient paintings and has been common in books as old as time itself as texts (figuratively speaking). This distinction is important in the argument.

Perhaps we need to define the term porn better; as I understand it you mean the non-consensual form of real people in sexual situations in media.

And if I understand you correctly, you say that if you look at any of the forms of porn I've described above than you are masturbating to rape. But that's strong generalizing in my opinion.

What I do get though, is the part when what you find online is questionable and you can't see the difference. I'd say let's rule out all the porn that does not have an approval certificate of actual consent by an official authority.

C. 130 years ago iPhones did not exist either, the context made them useful, but I think I get what you mean with that argument. Just to keep things in balance, perhaps the amount of sexual abuse was higher as well then, as there was less of an outlet for sexual frustration / less regulation. I don't think we can get factual records on that, as sex has always been a bit of a taboo subject. What I'm sure of though is that sexual imagery has been around for far longer than 130 years.

D. In my opinion the Fairphone alternative (fairtrade, relatively expensive, sustainable) to an iPhone now (forced -child- labor, relatively cheap, marketed as 2 year object) is on an abstract level like the nuance discussion between consensual porn and nonconsensual. Most people do not know the difference even after some research. It is both extremely hurtful for real people, downright sadistic even, hurtful for the environment and just surfing in a wave of lustful dopamine. In both cases most people do not care enough to pay a bit extra, even do research.

In both cases people might throw the subjects under the bus because they do not see the relevance, while they're both supported by extreme human suffering in the bad scenario. They do not want to see similarities between suffering if it does not support their story.

• What I mean with all my responses, there is nuance in this topic.
• What you mean with your responses, there is pain in this topic.

And I say yes, there is pain, and it is gutwrechingly terrible. So are humans, I despise all of us for existing. But the truth is just that we are bad at looking at our own flaws and good at pointing out others. We still want things to change? We must work together and that starts with nuance.

I acknowledge the downsides of porn, I do not ask of you to acknowledge an upside, only hope to instill a bit of nuance in the definitions we're talking about.

I think that's where most of this triggers emotions and confusion.
