Trying my hardest to be civil in this uncivilised world.
Respectfully, wtf is “food culture”? Is the fascination with taking food pics for Insta and going to popular restaurants you see on TikTok that have great decor and selfie backgrounds? I think it’s ridiculously performative and for silly people.
If you meant “what are your hot takes about food?”, then idk, I think I have pretty lukewarm ones, lol (“Chinese > Italian > Indian” for popular cuisines around the world, for instance).
Too religious/“old-fashioned” for some .ml communities, too autistically principled and anti-Western for Reddit and similar e-spaces. 😭
I feel pretty comfy on Lemmy all in all though, I can’t lie.
Everything is military/war oriented. Remember the “war on drugs”? They can’t comprehend the world except from a perspective of opposition and control. 🤷🥲
TIL, but I think I’m too old to put into practice, haha.
Is there anything you want to do or be, so badly, that would move you to act despite the distractions?
I won’t, it’s a waste of both of our times and I’m not that much of a maniac, lol. But we hardly live in Hell (unless you’re in Gaza or Lebanon, idk, in that case I understand your perception of things). Again, I have defined liberal very narrowly: Western imperialists who deny it (to themselves and others), and with better PR and “softer approaches” that aren’t as obviously morally disgusting. It’s not just a catch-all term for everyone who’s a danger to the global community.
But assuming I’m wrong, could you provide me with at least two examples of self-proclaimed “liberals” who are representative of the ideology today and tell me which things they did that you approve of and did not support the status quo of Western global oppression ?
That’s not true, you can fit many labels which I disagree with ideologically and morally (so, yeah, “bad”), not just “liberal”. You could be/call yourself a “Zionist” or otherwise “Western imperialist”, or just imperialistic, or you could be a “nationalist”, a “Christian right-winger”, or a Republican/Democrat, or even a “realpolitik pragmatist”.
And out of curiosity, do you believe in Hell or is that just an expression? Liberals are known to stand for nothing, so it would shock me if you did.
Another lemming posted some data already but I guess, intuitively, it makes sense: no responsibilities and usually taken care of -> some responsibilities without the PFC/maturity necessary to handle them efficiently but you still somewhat prioritise and have time for fun-> even larger responsibilities (usually caring for other people as well, like children and parents) but with enough maturity to handle them without needing to focus on youthful hedonism -> fewer responsibilities but still mature and now probably in a better financial position, and you can already be satisfied with your lot in life and what you’ve done with it -> little to no responsibilities and you’re usually taken care of.
I can’t remember the previous ones, just remember that I’ve disagreed with them and just rolled my eyes at them… but this one is obvious: “liberals” are just diet Western imperialists, who stand for nothing but the status quo and care for nothing but the bag (at least being a racist white supremacist POS has a veneer of ideology behind it, the dumbest of their group truly believe they’re “standing for something”). Idk what was confusing about it or how that ended up in you calling OP a “red fascist”, lol.
Life can be very enjoyable and drugs can be part of that joy but we’re not just hedonistic pigs chasing the next high, right? Balance, erring on the side of caution and self-control, is better but if not it’s better to just cut it all off. And some things you should never try, of course.
random crazy mentally handicapped junkie says dumb shit
“DO YOU AGREE WITH HIM?!?”
I’m tired of the dumbs and the ones who profit from them.
Idk but I feel like anime really peaked between the late 80s and late 00s, both stylistically and content-wise. Even the wackier concepts were done well/with love, but it’s been at least a couple of decades that it all feels undercooked and shows that get massive praise today would’ve been at most Claymore-tier had they come out a couple of decades ago. AOT, an undercooked Code Geass, is a good example of this, IMO.
Your political takes are always wrong, Mr. Banjo.
According to the app, my wife will be on her period in a couple of days and we both have already noticed the usual mood swings… I’m gonna find a way to squeeze this in a conversation. ✌️😅
No bully island Germans!
Man, every time I think I know enough about America and that their history couldn’t possibly get worse, I learn something new. 😑
Tbh, cocaine has to be heavily processed from coca leaves for it to do what it does (you can have a coca leave tea and get an energy boost at most, lol, but it’s nice!). Shrooms and weed just need to be dried. 🤷
My godparents had an almost 20 year difference and they loved each other very much (first marriage for both too, and only death could separate them). I understand the fear that men will trick and exploit a young and naive lady, but that’s simply not the case every time. 🤷
And just FYI, my wife and I are the same age, lol.
Western supremacy and bloodthirst. Any non-Western country can get bombed, destabilised, sanctioned to death, etc., and only because these people have no morals or simply don’t care about anything as long as they have their drugs and their burgers. 😑
Jesus, by far. The people who have been murdered in his name is probably close to or over a good billion, right?
He’s not really a “foundational figure of Christianity” though, his image was just co-opted by the Roman empire which then created the religion also co-opting the actual “Jewish revival” Jesus was at the core of (bringing the fundamentals of monotheism back into mind and expanding the teachings to everyone, not just a small select community).
