You’ll still need to get around gait recognition.

You’d be surpised at some of the foods which contain gluten. Take a vegetarian pizza, with some seitan on it? That’s pure gluten.

And the nature of celiacs or non-celiac gluten sensitivity is such — annoyingly, that the symptoms take a while to show up, so it’s unlike say a proper food allergy or lactose intolerance, it’s much harder to actually reason about what you’ve eaten, when the symptoms can show up as late as several days afterwards.

But yeah, ofc that’s not everyone and if it’s not you it’s not you. It just was for me, and now I’m kinda preachy about people trying exclusion diets just to be sure.

Have you ever tried avoiding gluten for a while?

I get horrible hangovers from having a few light beers, but once I starred avoiding gluten and dairy, I could drink a 3l box of wine in one or two sittings and not have a hangover in between.

Never used to be able to enjoy properly tannined wines. But with the proper diet, I fking love them.

“The excess”

Yeah no such thing.

Imagine actually asking women if they prefer to have their clitoral hood intact or not.

It’s biologically analogous, it’s the prepuce. Without it, your most sensitive part is constantly exposed to air and friction. Imagine what an eye would look like in 15 years if you were to cut someone’s eyelid off. It would dry and lose vision and just be overall horrible. The glans penis is mucosal as well, so there’d be similarities like keratinisation.

Have I ever wished someone had genitally mutilated me as a baby?

Flashbacks

Sometimes we disagree on what the required amount of information that is needed for a sentence.

There’s a reason you dislike it so, I wager

It’s not that deep." – dismisses attempts to expose faulty logic by asserting that logic is not necessary in this particular case.[8]

“Lies of the Devil.” – used as a response to any fact that threatens the integrity of an individual or group.[9] “Stop thinking too much.” – redirects attention from the topic, idea, or argument at hand to the alleged overuse of thought itself.[10]

“You clearly care way too much about this topic.” – implies that one’s level of concern or interest in a particular topic or situation is excessive and thus invalidates any further conversation or exploration[2]

“There are worse things in life to worry about.” – implies that less significant issues are not worth addressing since they are not as significant as other issues and implies that a person’s situation is not significant enough to even warrant discussion or action[11]

“It’s all good.” – nullifies, without evidence, any possible debate by asserting the issue is already settled.[12][user-generated source?]

“Here we go again.” – implies that the redundant, cyclical nature of a given disagreement means it will never be resolved.[13]

“So what? What effect does my action have?” – used to dismiss an individual’s involvement in a larger cause on the grounds that one person is too insignificant to ever have a meaningful impact.[2]

“Let’s agree to disagree.” – used to stop discussion of an issue rather than attempt to resolve it;[14] may, however, instantiate a dialectic.

“It is what it is.” – implies that things are unchangeable, therefore there is no point in further discussion.[15]

“Let people enjoy things.” – purports that criticisms to consumable media are attempts to prevent consumers from enjoying said media.[

I did not.

Polytheism can be a useful framework for lots of things without ruining society like monotheism.

Religion isn’t an issue. Dogmatic religion is. And all monotheist religions are dogmatic. Some polytheist ones are as well.

There’s loads of uses for religion which aren’t evil or bad for society

I think you’re confusing a few things.

Was it the west that instigated a change, because they were greed for oil and didn’t give a fuck?

Yes.

But who actually took power? Conservative Muslims.

Fuck all monotheism.

The intolerance of narrow monotheism is written in letters of blood across the history of man from the time when first the tribes of Israel burst into the land of Canaan. The worshippers of the one jealous God are egged on to aggressive wars against people of alien [beliefs and cultures]. They invoke divine sanction for the cruelties inflicted on the conquered. The spirit of old Israel is inherited by Christianity and Islam, and it might not be unreasonable to suggest that it would have been better for Western civilization if Greece had moulded it on this question rather than Palestine

I think internet voting for the less important things tonbe voted on. Like in addition, not to replace current big elections.

Can you morally take part in capitalism?

No.

Can you morally take part in (moral) market economies? Sure.

So then it’s just about where to draw the line.

“Aquaman”? No.

“Mission Impossible”? Yeah.

Depends entirely on how likely I think it is to be in any way realistic. Often I might check the time they’re underwater. 1-2min is still realistic, although very challenging for an average non-trained person. You can quite quickly train yourself up to a few minutes, some dude on YT tried went from 30s to about 4min.

However it’s usually reliant on conserving oxygen, having a low pulse and no adrenaline etc. Quite the opposite of what is usually going on in movies like MI.

they wash and reuse the bottles (without melting them down or anything)

Idk where you’re talking about, but in Finland… That used to be the system, and the bottles which were actually washable were far sturdier than what we have now. Now it’s all flimsy PET bottles which just get shredded and “recycled”.

I used to work in a bottle room back when most deposits were glass bottles and sturdy plastics and only the cans got crushed not reused.

I was the guy in the backroom piling the bottles from a huge conveyor belt (glass bottles) to be organised in pallets. Could manage like 7 beers bottles in one hand, but that was pushing it and the most effective speed was 3-4 bottles per hand per move.

I liked the job but the employer was a massive cunt.

It’s a spambot with an agenda. And oh my did people get mad at pointing that out.

…maybe one exception: I was able to talk her into seeing Edge of Tomorrow by telling her that he dies 26 times on-screen and countless times off-screen.

I apologise if this seems inappropriate, but I kinda like your wife now. And you for putting that argument up in the first place.

Russia: “Putin got killed in unclear circumstances”

Everyone in the world: “Quickly, launch all nukes everywhere”
