Fight Oligarchy tour, The Limits to Growth (haven’t actually read it), quicksort, La Marseilles and Borzoi (is it worth it?).

Okay I don’t like talking like this, but what part of “to a much lesser extent” do you not understand?

Which is why I said “to a much lesser extent.” Mass shootings are on the rise in multiple European countries, as are homicides and hate crimes. I mean hell, France is looking to restrict knives over this stuff. Having a non-broken society contributes a lot more than what murder weapons are available, and now that European societies are generally fraying at the seams murder rates are unsurprisingly rising.

I mean we’re seeing this in Europe with mass shootins and such, though to a much lesser extent than America.

You’ve probably heard this a million times, but why not learn a trade?

Monty lane problem.

Username checks out. Also try Your Name.

I’m an immigrant in a country where save for a small foreign diaspora Muslims basically don’t exist, so while I’m choosing to leave this stuff for future me to figure out, if I ever do choose to find someone it’ll be rough going.

Muslim here and nope. Setting aside that it’s forbidden in Islam, I’d have to get them on board with so many things they might as well convert.

Mongoose: humorous term for a man who is successful in social situations (for example with women).

Monkey: Clever or competent person, usually used when someone accomplishes something unexpected with a nuance of “how did you even do that”.

Chick: Slang for boyfriend.

I don’t see it. I don’t find it gross at all, and wouldn’t find the opposite version gross either if I saw it on c/womensstuff or something.

Bidet, hands down.

There is no way to convince a person who is raised in a capitalist system why “arbitrary censorship” is way better than “democracy” where all significant media is capitalist owned.

I was brought up under arbitrary censorship. Democracy where all significant media is capitalist-owned is much better.

Because they’re tankies.

جبنة/gebna (Arabic, will vary by dialect).

After getting a hang of the basics watch, listen to and read stuff (ideally also talk) in the target language. It’s really that simple; yuu use the language, you’ll learn the language.

Absolutely not. Intellectual and political life in my country is basically nonexistent due to decades of repression, so it was the internet (specifically the English-speaking internet) that provided me with the information necessary to make any sort of informed conclusion about, well, anything. Without the internet I’d have ended up as a vanilla guy with no political positions beyond autocracy bad and a wildly skewed view on life in general. My religion would’ve stayed the same, but with a lot less thought behind it.

Why do you use 60 seconds in a minute and not an even 100? Why use randomly sized calendar months?

Because 60 evenly divides into halves, thirds, fifths, sixths, etc, and because it’s impossible to divide 365.2425 days into 12 months of equal length.

I bought an Italian chocolate cake thing that turned out to contain alcohol so I had to throw it, so I’d buy something else. I just found out now so I’m pretty miffed.
