Just asking the question is poison for the mind.

Try making this picture for blacks or asians or any non western, non white, non heteronormative, non male performing person.

The only way this picture makes sense is that you as a white man want to go back to the times where your oppression wasn’t questioned, while hiding behind the idea that screens are somehow worse than white oppression.

I’m in a very pleasant phase of my life. I’ve had a rollercoaster life with some deep lows in my twenties and thirties. But ever since I hit 40 my life has been much better. Stable job, stable relationship, stable home, in good health. Solid 8. But with very clear career and relationship goals, so ask me again in 10 years.

I’m not a big fan of pickled cutting boards or pickled linen, but to each their own i guess.

This is why we can say that you are not your thoughts. You are not your emotions. You are not your feelings or desires. You are the one experiencing them. You are the observer of your own inner world.

Start a puppy mill, puppies have a natural tendency to draw attention and focus away from your hideous appearance. In your case I would bring at least five or six puppies everywhere you go.

Welcome to Trump’s ‘flooding the zone with shit’ strategy.

Not invented by, but brought to your attention by Steve Bannon. Trump’s advisor in the 2016 campaign. He understood very clearly that winning elections don’t happen by winning from the opposition, but by winning in the voting booth. His strategy was particularly aimed at the media. Where there is one channel that just continues a stream of populist propaganda in fox, while flooding the media landscape with scandals, lies, distractions, outrage, conspiracy, fantasies, etc. He created a safe haven for conservatives, whilst keeping the general left extremely busy.

Everything that has happened is a distraction from establishing a fascist state. Everything is theatre, everything is meant for tv. Nobody cares about the real life consequences, as long as the theatre keeps people engaged, enraged and not looking behind the screens.

Most of the time they didn’t. They were posted without their consent.

I was 20 and learned from an instructor. To be fair, I’m from the Netherlands and cars don’t play such a big role here. I had a moped from when i was 17, so i was motorized. Although I bicycled for most of my trips under 10 kilometer (five miles).

Having money.

No but seriously, nothing even comes close.

I lost my gf, my house and my job that year. I was not ok.

This is a world wide stat. The numbers for chickens are stratospheric. with 200 million chickens slaughtered per day.

About 900,000 cows are slaughtered every day. If every cow was 2 meters long, and they all walked right behind each other, this line of cows would stretch for 1800 kilometers. This represents the number of cows slaughtered every day.

You can’t say that because less people use drugs that peoples lives have been saved. That’s political logic, logic you employ to maintain a political stance. It has nothing to do with reality.

You can only justify a death penalty when you see drug addicts as lost lives. And that’s just plainly wrong.

Portugal has completely decriminalized all drugs and have clearly shown that this didn’t lead to a rise in drug use, it never lead to a rise in criminality either.

Singapore law is unnecessarily cruel and barbaric.
