IMO circumcision is genital mutilation and that’s always wrong in general. In the very few cases where it actually has health benefits you can still do it later in life, it’s not a big problem. You’re not missing out on anything if you don’t do it.

that series was great!

American Dragon vibes kinda, i’d say

What if i want to be that little guy?

actually i think there’s something about an integral along a closed curve being zero here…

the walls have eyes

Can i post this into the microblog memes community with the title “we need more open carry boobs”?

i think that chemical imbalance exists and is real but is only the immediate cause of depression. if you dig deeper, in 90% of cases you will find that the chemical imbalance is itself caused by bad situation/ living conditions. so, both are correct. bad living conditions are the ultimate cause for most depressions, but also, chemical imbalances is what you can detect in the brain of patients with depression. but the chemicals are merely the mediators, not the cause of the depression.

has seen their quality of life drop for the last 4 year?

i think it’s not just the last 4 years but the last few decades, it’s only that the downward momentum seems to be speeding up recently

capitalist america needed workforce -> tell everyone in the whole world that america is the best place in the world so people move there

Otherwise the internet as we know it is very much over, and what we have instead is a mesh of country-nets.

which, TBH, doesn’t seem so bad to me. as an european, i’m personally sick of all the sick (as in, unwell) culture from america swapping over via the internet and poisoning people’s minds.

i mean, all the culture war is literally instigated by american capitalists to disrupt society and to disrupt the people’s coherence, to make them weaker and therefore easier to exploit.

If it wasn’t for continuous exposure to american influence, europe would long have drastic left-wing political reforms, i guess.

Funnily enough the CIA (yes, the CIA) was largely involved in keeping the internet a free and open space for all, heck they even contributed encryption algorithms to keep data private and such …

The reason why the free internet existed for so long was because it was a big ideological project for the US. (the internet is the space of all ideas and as such represents the platonic/christian concept of heaven). It’s only now ending because it’s served its purpose. The people have exchanged ideas worldwide, and that only needs to happen twice, similarly to how you can only infect yourself with the same virus once (because the second infection does way less impact), you can only infect yourself with the same idea once. So, once the worldwide ideas are exchanged, the internet serves very little purpose anymore.

They’re retiring

Retirement is when it’s about time to get into big politics. Most politicians on higher levels are 60+ y.o.

like, wasn’t the great wall of china (which is actually multiple walls, btw) more a military thing to keep the raiders out? not ordinary merchants or pilgrims.

do you have any sources about this?

I imagine the issue wasn’t so much migrating itself, but the question of how do you feed yourself and your family in the new land?

500 years ago most people were farmers. So you had to possess some land to have food. So, where do you get that land from?

words mean what we make them mean. use your imagination.

every human technology is “super-natural” because it’s not natural

No, trump has got till the midterms or he’s gonna lose a significant amount of power, so he’s trying to speedrun the fascist dictatorship takeover. rome took hundreds of years to crumble and fall.

All the economy is a big circle if you draw the circle big enough.

Actually scratch that. There is an economy that is not just one big circle jerk, such as the development of new technologies or the terraforming of deserts into fertile land; as neither of these things ends the way it started; it brought lasting change, and that is true progress.

Actually did you see my presentation that i made about this recently?

The point is to convince the americans to invest in new technologies.

To all those who say that human spaceflight is impossible:
