A co worker asked my partner if she could knit her a sweater like the one she was wearing. She wore a gorgeous, fitted, bespoke sweater she made herself. She quoted her 1200 euro. Needless to say, she didnt get the commission.

First of all, there are a lot of people willing to die for their country as it is. As soon as people are willing to give up their lives, you're not changing shit. These people didn't grow up like you and me.

Secondly, there is a world of difference between stepping in and stepping in. One of the main reasons that North Korea is so isolated is because of sanctions. That is also a form of stepping in.

Thirdly, we already saw war and foreign meddling in that area. That's exactly why America is the great evil opponent of North Korea. That's not a coincidence or just because Kim Il Sung, Kim Jung Il or Kim Jung Un hated "freedom".

Now you ask, what other solution is there?!

Well, a lot of people are actually working on that. By launching information campaigns and spreading Western/foreign music into the country. Real change comes from within. But please remember that this country is now lead by the third generation of absolute leader.

Because it isnt a list of sex offenders. Its a list of contacts, clients, whatever. Just having a name on a list from Epstein doesn't mean anything beyond being suspicious. It doesn't prove anything by itself. But the public doesn't care about that. So the people on that list need to be protected, they are innocent until proven guilty. You can't and shouldn't want to make it public.

There is no deep conspiracy necessary. Although powerful people are implicated due to being on the list, or actually did things that are fucked up. The fact none of it got public isnt proof of conspiracy, rather of a functioning legal system. And it wouldnt surprise me if these papers simply never got handed over to any politician, despite their claims.

And them asking stupid questions like 'hand me over the list of child molesters that epstein made'...which doesn't exist. Lets not forget that most of these Trumpets are exceedingly dumb.

:p would be rude to call someone dumb otherwise.

Look, you're completely right about big poluters. Obviously.

But them polluting doesn't rid you from your responsibilities. Car manufacturers make cars go 150 but you still need to keep to the speed limit. And because everybody does that, at least to a fair degree, we can all drive safely.

You can just toss your thrash on the side of the road. But if we all do that it's going to be a mess real fast.

You can just exist on a red meat only diet.

Its all the same. Have some common decency. Don't consume polluting products when you know that it's the worst option and there is much better available.

Okay. But as an individual we still have a choice. And knowing what clearly is worse, while having minimal impact on your life if not doing it. It doesn't exactly feel like a smart decision, to have red meat/animal products in general. Can i at least call you dumb?

Yes. And also explains why worldviews are so different between cultural, linguistical and geographically different groups of people.

Even though we're becoming more and more unified, through the internet, through logic systems like maths or science in general. This is not to be mistaken for truth. Western scientific ideology specifically has as unspoken 'truth' that when ideas 'win', they are more valuable. While English, our logical rules, our ideologies are winning not because they are true but because they are believed more, or over, other languages, logic systems and ideologies.

Ofcourse these systems of beliefs create opportunities and knowledge for people. Don't mistake my dismissal of truth for disaproval.

Because everything we can say about reality is through the human perspective and the construct of language. We believe that this can yield us truths. But its just a belief. Our human-ness might just as well blind us to what is actually true. And as such, most of everything we think we know is based on belief. There is no escaping this problem.

Next ten years? Sounds more like a 50/100 year prediction

Netherlands. I can call to make an appointment, or do it online. Then i walk/bike there, its in the neighbourhood. We have about 10 minutes for an appointment. The doctor either refers me to a specialist, prescribes drugs (most doctors have a pharmacy attached), or does small procedures. For jabs, check ups, stool samples, that type of stuff, the assistent takes care of it most of the time. You can leave without paying.

We pay a monthly insurance that pays for everything, basically. im over simplifying, its not that straightforward, but its what it boils down to.

The numbers for 1993 werent in yet?

45m I knew from a very early age that i never wanted to be a father. I have always been very upfront about it with my partners and it has ended one relationship. She found out that she did grew, after two years of being in a relationship, to have a child wish. And I could have at that time become a dad, and im sure i would be great at it, but im very happy that never happened. I got my vasectomy soon after that, i was around 30. Just to make sure there were never any accidents.

For the question of why... I don't know. I've tried to analyse it but i can't give a deeper reason than feeling a deep aversion. I have a good relation with my parents, had a decent childhood and i love my nephews dearly. I like children and i don't mind being around them. I don't particularly care for anti child propaganda either.

My partner and i are living a child free life. She also has zero interest in having children of our own.
