That is a definition that at first glance seems crystal clear, but then you realize it is meaningless, because everyone understands equality to mean something different.

"Feminist" is a bit like "socialist", indeed some would argue it is a continuation of the same tradition. There's too many meanings and too many variations. My mother was a feminist and I would not say I have views

No that is definitely not my view at all. Everyone should be free to do whatever they want. I am just talking about what behaviours/views/values I find a turn-on/turn-off and what I personally seek in a partner. I do however

I cannot roll my eyes further if I tried. I have been told that I am conservative and dominant. However this is very far from what I want in a partner. A wife who doesn't have her own career is not something I would ever consider. And

> If it's -15C and sunny it's good, but if it's +15C and raining it's a pain. In the Netherlands and I think even in Copenhagen, 15C and raining is much more common. In my own experience, raining isn't the bigges

I find it depressing that reducing all global commuting related carbon emissions would reduce global emissions by just 1%. And then the EV is supposed to be poster child for "doing something about the climate" and in that best cas

For me cooking and eating is very spontaneous. I also believe this is what separates people who can cook from those who cannot. I can cook because I can mix and match my current appetite, with what I have available in the fridge and figure

I couldn't give a rat's ass about relocation costs, or furniture, or even home ownership tbh. Those are all relatively minimal costs. But if you have a nice life, a nice social circle of friends, ...etc, do not take all that for g

Only if you ignore the cost of moving, which is enormous. Basically dropping your whole life to get maybe 20k€ more, abroad. If you are happy with your life, not even 150k€ would justify a move because good money ain't going to buy you

I have bank accounts with many banks and all but one require an app. It acts as a security dongle amongst other things.

How do these alternate Android distros play along with important apps, like for online banking and so?

No sorry, there is no complex geopolitical matters at play here. It is actually very simple. These are civilians minding their own business. You don't get the right to murder them just because you are fighting nearby with some other gr

What a disgusting attitude you have. Imagine if somebody invaded the US because they didn't like the Biden administration. In the process they kill your family, but don't worry, it's just civilian causalities during a war. Sh

There are Catholic priests and nuns, and some 1100 Christians in total living in Gaza which as far as I know is controlled by Hamas.

If you don't already you should document your project on Youtube. It's a super cool project and I'm sure you can even get lots of Patreon sponsors that way and even commercial ones probably.

The statement is not true in general. The typical layout of a European village is having the houses close to the centre and the arable land surrounding the village. You wouldn't have your arable land directly outside of your porch (you

It is very much on topic. If they want to be seen as humanitarians they need to stop committing war crimes and other atrocities in their backyard. Morality does not subscribe to some kind of arithmetic where doing good deeds can somehow ca

It is hard not to notice that all the US/UK media were very afraid to put Israel's name in the titles and articles when they reported on that scandal.

>Hybrids were a mediocre half-measure That is not true. Hybrids can be greener than an full EV. To make EVs palatable, automakers realized they need to use huge batteries with 400+ miles of range. But the average daily commute is much m

But my point is their intention is to exploit the weakness of the democracy they enforce on the target country. And that is assuming this is a situation where they are exporting democracy. There are also the opposite situations where they d

I am not sure it is always a better system in all situations. Democracies are very easily corrupted by foreign influence. This is one of the reasons rich western countries love to "export democracy". One of the reasons strongmen r

There is no such thing as countries spreading democracy and I am not aware of any country that has ever went to war to spread democracy. The only time the US attempted to "spread democracy" is when their influence over a foreign c

Humanity won't go extinct any time soon, and at this point in time focusing resources on fighting problems like climate change is infinitely more rewarding than any stupid dicking around on the moon or mars. Mars won't ever be eve

The quote is wrong. Antarctica is next. Then the moon. Then the bottom of the ocean. But all these places are desolate of life and not even resource rich, so there is little point to go there. Mars is like this as well. It's not like y

I am no great fan of the EU, but the EU as a whole does not engage in much imperialism, besides that forced on it by the US.
