A personal attack? That doesn’t speak well about you.

I do think people without direct experience are unable to understand the depth or the totalitarian evil. It’s just too terrifying to accept that one can be trully powerless, that any kind of resistance can lead not just to the destruction of themselves, but also their families, that the degree of bullying and control can be so high and the regard for human life so low.

It’s too scary, so normal human minds just refuse it as a possibility and try to imagine more optimistic scenarios.

It’s healthy not to lose hope, but it’s also not good to underestimate the evil and unfair to look down on the people facing it.

Approaching middle age is the new old, I’m afraid.

Many people lose the mental capabilities they used to have when they were young, so they become unable to act the same way as they used to. They often lose the ability to learn new things. We’re talking 60+, so there are hormonal changes that can influence both the physical and psychological side of a person. Just stay young in your head is an advise similar to saying “cheer up” to a depressed person. The mental decline is probably partly genetic, partly pure luck or lack thereof, and a minor part can be influenced by lifestyle. So I guess try to influence what you can, excercise, eat healthy food, read, meet younger people and hope for the best.

One thing is to identify the bad behaviour in others, to see you’re doing it yourself is much harder though. People often don’t realize they’re doing something they hate in others.

The meaning of bread is pretty loose as it is, especially internationally.

Ok, I get this and agree. I’d argue though OP probably is genuinely silly. The problem is when you use dating apps, you have to present yourself in some way. Taking pictures of yourself and choosing the good ones is really quite a killer of spontaneity and truthfullness. And everyone knows you want to show off your good sides in the profile. Taking silly pictures with his cousin that he may end up being a bit embarrased about later seems as genuine as it gets.

What you say is not universally true. There are women (I know, being one of them) who are attracted by silly. To me, seeing a man enjoying a silly situation he himself created means I could potentially enjoy something like that with him one day, which is super exciting to me. If OP wants to meet someone to share silly things with, he should include such photo - it’s going to filter out the women who are way too serious.

Oh shit.

That’s also possible, but I think it’s worth it to leave no doubt about your feelings.

It seems like they enjoy this and would like to include you. You should tell them you’re not interested and leave.

People who tell you they don’t sleep with their mother are in denial.

And very many small users who are used to it, buy it already installed and are unable to do anything about it. It seems people often forget normies exist.

This is a beautiful article that reads like a poetic sci-fi. Altough the real math and physics behind it are elusive for me, the poetic language let’s me grasp some basic understanding.

It’s beautiful!

Not everyone needs them.

European countries use English, there’s no way French or German stand a chance. For a world language, I think it’s either English or Chinese, depending on geopolitical situation.

I think it was meant as “without damaging something in your body”.

You’re so not alone!
