Ugh… Can’t throw Hungary out of EU. They’ll go hungry and hangry and they’re landlocked behind defensive lines. Orban knows he’s a thorn and is loving every minute of it.

Being an evil oligarch/dictator wannabe is very fun until someone actually kills you.

It was scientifically proven that the squiggly lines make the seat seem cleaner than it actually is.*

*Or not.

Would be kind of silly for it to be a documented “backdoor” that was found.

That happens because it’s a social act. People who don’t want to, but have to due to some sort of obligation or as an indirect action towards achieving something else.

Activism is a chore they have to do, so without people in charge sincere in what they do and aware of this type of obligation, any attempt at serious activism will end up half-baked and likely to do more harm than good.

It’s tough to find people who do something for the sake of it and not as a springboard meant to pursue other interests.

According to a documentary I watched in passing on tv some years back, he had several types of dentures and most of them caused him great pain. One could even say his need for teeth helped in small part advance denture technology in the US.

Washington’s teeth were made of diamonds and you can’t convince me otherwise.

Wow that’s such a dumb thing I didn’t expect to read today. I can see why you would think so, but still… Wow.

I’d rather say it’s the exhaustion of 2 so-called world wars taking a giant dump on Europe and the countries within not wanting a third one doing the same.

But, when you gotta poop… you gonna poop.

Two of the spies may have been identified in the preliminary investigation. One is reported to have a strong odor and the other can be likened to a musical instrument without its tail end.

Your brain be wildin’. I suggest seeking professional help if it ever happens a second time in a short period of time. Small chance it might be an early symptom of a stroke or dementia.

Great speech, really, but why aren’t you getting it? It’s not about you or me or the commenter i started the chain with. This was their comment:

… do people actually do that? As in, is strong jealousy really a thing?

I’d like to believe that each of us builds their life into the exact thing they need, so swapping places with anyone else would be terribly uncomfortable. So I can’t relate as to why anyone would ever be jealous i guess haha

Are you and all the people up voting that comment really unable to grasp that there are people who actually do that? That strong jealousy really is a thing?

You kept deviating with your own sad stories, hope and self-control and get out from the bad environment.

But this is about them, the people that get left behind, that don’t crawl out and escape, that don’t get to build their lives into the exact thing they need. So that swapping places with literally anyone else would be fucking awesome to them.

That’s why I said you’re sitting on a high horse, you can’t seem to relate to them.

God job on making it out though. Though they might have moments of jealousy, I’m sure most of the people that couldn’t do the same are proud and thankful you can be an example to them. (Not sarcasm, if you’re interpreting that way. You only saw those earlier examples and seemed deadset on them being the only kind there is.)

Other post on topic had comment on new shipping lanes near Arctic thawing and already being used by Chinese ships illegally and the rich fucks want control.

You don’t seem to understand. There is no country on this planet that doesn’t have at least one abnormal living environment within. And the people living in such types of environment don’t have the luxury of entertaining your kind of psychological snobbism/elitism.

You talk of ideals, not reality. From the role of an observer, not a participant. Your advice is superficial nonsense from a position of safety and comfort.

I mean, what planet have you been living on until now?

An average person doesn’t mechanically compartmentalize emotions and puts them aside because they aren’t “productive solutions”.

It’s good for you that you’ve managed this kind of selfcontrol in order to improve your life. But that’s because you’ve numbed down the things that do you harm.

A person that isn’t depressed doesn’t have that kind of ‘benefit’. Emotions run freely and wild without fear. And cause all kinds of trouble.

Lovers being jealous of outside attention to the point of madness.

Siblings being jealous of biased parental love to end up estranged.

Children in patched up clothes on the streets begging or on the fields working - being jealous of children dressed in brand new school uniforms and going to school together.

Any person in a hospital bed with a terminal illness watching through the window the world living a life they can’t have.

And so many other examples…

Productive solutions don’t mean shit when it comes to strong emotions and jealousy can be very strong at times. Strong enough to murder even. I mean forget about the world-ending news regurgitation, at the local level where the average person lives, jealousy is high up in ranking as a reason for commiting crimes.

Pardon me, but you sound very privileged here, in the spiritual sense of “stop being poor” or “just don’t be depressed” etc.

If that was your intention, you’ve succeeded admirably.

Depends. Plenty of travelers end up dead due to malice or greed (among other things such as personal stupidity). I’m pretty sure they would have developed plenty of prejudice had they lived to share their tales.

It’s the first time I’m seeing it and it certainly appears unique to me at the moment.

Sure. Banana is the favourite fruit, and all the others are set aside.

It is caring about oneself. Exclusively.
