“everyone’s punching up” ignores the influence of personality and compatibility though

To me appearance isn’t that important (as long as it’s feminine), what is though, us how much I like their personality, and that’s not only subjective, but also something that can be worked on. Moreover, if you like someone’s personality, chances are they like yours too, because at that point a lot of it is about compatibility as well (if I like someone who likes DnD, chances are they do the same, right?)

Humans are too much of social creatures for it to be a simple measure of “who’s hotter” evolutionary speaking

Well, that doesn’t matter for blåhaj, which disables downvotes, at least

That’s the thing, it’s not an established console line

And also, half of Wii U sales is fucking massive. Yes the Wii U was considered a failure, but it was still well known

To me minimalism is about consciously thinking about what items I keep in my environment. Mostly this means I don’t buy random stuff unless I’m certain I’m going to use it, so I wouldn’t even have a canoe in the first place

I do not like when there’s a lot of stuff, it stresses me out and overwhelms me, and generally, in my experience, just causes more issues than it solves in the long run. That doesn’t mean you should throw away stuff you might need, but more that you actively think about the things you have, instead of mindlessly gathering more

So, what if I were to, say, inherit a canoe and had the space to store it? Would I throw it away? No, but I would donate it to a school yard sale

Well like, you could have a hammer without the canoe, you know

Minimalism isn’t about “as little as possible”. It’s about only having what you need. Basic tools are part of the “only what you need”, unless you got readily access to a shared supply of tools

As a rule of thumb, there typically are very few people clamoring for volunteer leader positions. It’s a constant problem you see even in irl non-profit organizations, unless they’re fairly big/famous

It just turns out that, it’s actually just a lot of responsibility and work. Most people realize this, and don’t have the capacity to do the work, so often there even are no candidates for the leader positions… until someone reluctantly steps up because otherwise the organization would die

At least, that’s my experience in the real life organizations and clubs I’ve volunteered in

I wouldn’t call bread or yoghurt prepared instead of processed personally though, they’ve been through multiple chemical and biological processes.

Ultra processes foods is something that tends to be more appropriate I think. That’s stuff like chips or fast food. Though even that I consider fine to eat in moderation, and I, personally, do. Though I agree it would be better if I completely cut those out. I just tend to eat a lot of pre-made foods due to disability reasons (frozen pizzas, pastas, and the like)

But yeah, I do know that the US has some very lax food laws unfortunately. So maybe that is a big part of the difference

I feel like this is you fighting phantoms. I highly doubt anyone would want to actively help someone die instead like, referring them to a psychologist or therapist or something

I guess it still leaves store-bought bread out I guess. Or yoghurt. Or milk

But nah, I really do think it’s extreme. Pre-made food isn’t bad for you

Either that or I’m just being European, idk

That’s a big assumption about who I am, what I do, and my abilities, isn’t it?

You don’t know everything, and your experiences aren’t universal, you know

There have definitively been multiple times windows systems bricked themselves on me without it being my fault

It’s not rarer than Linux systems bricking in my experience. In addition, Linux systems tend to be a lot more fixable, but with windows being just a black box sometimes you’re just shit out of luck and have to reinstall

Uh, did you try to use public transit at all?

Omg cute keyboard background

Ok but that’s really fucking funny

It’s just messing with you at that point

Okay, you edited your comment, so then let me add another one

The US and Norway have roughly equivalent GDP per capita. Norway is also a very rugged country with tons of mountainous terrain. It’s pretty much the worst case scenario for land infrastructure development. It having a small population also makes it a greater challenge for finding workers. More people is better economically speaking

The US doesn’t really have any excuse here

I mean, I do think that hate speech and extremism such as white supremacism should not be allowed, yes. They do not act in good faith, why should we extend our good faith to them?

But besides, that is slightly beside the point I was making. What I was trying to point out is that they do not embarrass themselves to the target demographic

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say, as animals typically are referred to as “it”

And as we all know, the US doesn’t have any oil itself!

No, but, the oil fund isn’t really used. For reference, the first withdrawal in history was in 2016. The prison system is far older than that

Except that people look at that embarrassment and say “he’s just like me!” and then vote for them

And nobody forces you to have kids, you know? If anything that’s just saying to make sure to make choices that you will be happy with in your life
