Yup. Medication can have pretty similar names for wildly different drugs, so just doing a little due diligence to make sure you don’t grow a third ear or something

Okay the insanity of this. I do not recall EVER hearing of tunak tunak tun. Like I just have no memory of anyone showing it to me, sharing it with me, nothing. But I read the words, and the beat starts, rhythmically perfect…

Sounds like it’s high time for a Grand Male Re-adoption if you ask me

But… but… But… That’s not what the hats say!!

Gosh I tried Hendrick’s for the first time last year. Polished off the bottle in two weeks, that’s stuff is lovely in a G&T

panics in face of reality

So much of life is mindset. My momma is in her later senior years and still acts 25 in many ways (in a good way lol)

As you get older, ppl younger than you just seem youthful at ages you’ve already passed. You’re very young yet, don’t even be stressing it for a long time to come

Bruh. Whether or not they are Nazi’s isn’t the crux of the issue. The fact that they are invoking Nazi symbolism and behaviours at all is the issue, and any self-respecting American should take issue with the invocation of something Americans claim they helped destroy (to be clear, fascism and Nazism in WW2).

Ah fair I see where you were going. Thanks for clarifying

My understanding of NATO’s articles is that article 4 guarantees protection against threats to a member nation’s sovereignty, and article 5 guarantees military protection in the event of invasion. So it’s a direct violation of article 4 from one founding member to another which is… Bad for the whole alliance lol.

I agree it’s an insane thing for him to be talking about out of nowhere, but an overtly imperial USA (as opposed to its traditional denial of being an empire) against a close ally is something worth talking about.

Great art is often not appreciated in its time

Not OP, but I come from a place where this is the case. Can confirm, it is a valid observation

You wondered why we don’t let Satan’s farts ask questions?

This is why we don’t let Satan’s farts ask questions…

Haha no worries I think you make absolutely fair points regarding ethics and philosophy - these topics have to stand outside animalistic origins, as evolution only really asks “but will I survive?” Pausing for rational thought about the propriety of a behavior is unlikely to convey animalistic benefit.

Sociologically (?), on the face of it I think it’s a little harder to extricate animalistic tendencies, as our herd behaviors are intrinsically related to our animalistic/psychological tendency - or maybe better said as they share a reciprocal relationship, feeding back into each other. But that said, I have no knowledge of sociology models so I’ll defer to your assertion.

Either way, I think we’re barking up the same tree with some variation in the importance of different factors, hey?

Great explanation - I find it does a phenomenal job of explaining a great deal of human behaviour. Resource hoarding despite enough for all, the will to dominate, visceral hatred of those who believe differently than us (ingroup vs. outgroup theory), and I’m sure there’s more.

From a psychological viewpoint, it explains a lot of behavior that isn’t necessarily reasonable unless you account for an irrational mind acting on modern problems - things that our minds weren’t designed to handle.

Edit: clarification

I can picture this very German explanation of what humour is. A technical manual on it and how to be funny, and yet not a single “lol” was had in the reading

Ironically, I’m Canadian and am more likely to die in the humid heat than the brutal cold 😂 granted, wet cold like you’ll find in Chicago and Toronto are special kinds of hell, no thank you

The conspiracy theorists were right! There is a real deep real (e)state!

This progressed downhill so quickly I gave it an uptoot
