That’s just farming, only on a reeeeeeaaaaly small scale.

🤣

or that we should stop eating cats and dogs. Of course we’ll keep doing those things.

Wait, what?

Embrace the Rot by Endless Taverns.

I play a high level D&D spore druid who worships the rot as the culmination of the circle of life and death. He’s also, due to our campaign turning us into the heirs of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, currently wearing the mantle of the second horseman “Pestilence”.

It’s just… the song is perfect, it’s his theme song now.

Germany abstaining is actually a big deal.

The defense of Israel is one of our “Reason of State” and not voting in favour of Israel is a serious signal that politicians are fed up with Netanyahus bullshit.

It’s such a shitty landscape right now.

Is a given person uttering valid critique of Israel or is it veiled antisemitism? Is their opponent calling out real antisemitism or is it a dishonest defense of Israel with the antisemitism-cudgel? Is real valid critique being answerd by honest but wrongly-addressed call outs of antisemitism? Is real antisemitism accepted as a valid critique?

The example of this thread is definetly a dishonest defense of Israel, they could not have made it clearer that they will oppose valid criticism of Israel with the antisemitism-cudgel.

And I hate that, because equating Israel and jewish people is playing right into the hands of antisemites and into the hands of a murderous isreaeli government.

There is anti-americanism (which I’ll gladly join in on) and then there’s making asshole memes.

Uhh, I once found good information on why that is:

Testosterone raises the pain threshold, so men are usually more resistant to pain and more prone to “tough it out”. But Testosterone also makes people more vulnerable to typical cold and flu symptoms.

So while men do have a higher pain tolerance than non-pregnant women (pregnancy hormones really hit different) they also suffer more severe symptoms.

“Fuck yeah! My low testosterone, erectile dysfunction and abysmal fitness are just due to my 380 pound pure manliness!” - A “real” man

The depicted spider is a cellar spider btw., they are known to attack and eat redback spiders, huntsman spiders and house spiders. This is the anti-spider spider, the traitorous black legger.

Exactly, my hair will morph into every possible haircut at once as soon as it get’s wet and then dries without having been soaped.

Woah there, somebody want’s to piss off the entire australian continent.

I like that, will adopt this.

Just reading this makes me SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW!!!

The reasons just don’t necessarily come with any moral take away attached.

Children get bone cancer for purely physical reasons, yes, but there is no plan behind it, nothing that makes the situation better in any way and this is how the phrase is usually being used. It’s people saying: “Don’t be sad, something good will come of it.” to the faces of grieving parents or deathly ill people who have nothing to look forward to but pain.

Religious/spiritual proselytising has completely alienated the phrase from the methodological naturalism it could express.

The basic law of Cologne:

§1: Et es wie et es. („It is how it is.“) Look the facts in the eye, you can’t change them.

$2: Et kütt wie et kütt. („It’ll come as it comes.“) Accept the inevitable, you can’t change fate.

§3: Et hätt noch emmer joot jejange. („Everything turned out fine in the past.“) What turned out okay yesterday, will still work tomorrow. Situationally: We know it’s shit, but it’s the best we can do with what we have.

§4: Wat fott es, es fott. („What’s gone is gone.“) Don’t cling to the past.

§5: Et bliev nix wie et wor. („Nothing ever stays the same.“) Be open to new developments.

“Boys will be boys” Oh yes, what deep insight, nicely expresses the lack of parenting that let little Billy here become a FUCKING BULLY that regularly kicks, punches and intimidates other children. Even worse when adults agree that “shitty and violent” is just how boys are, you know boys will be boys.

Well done being a role model guys, not only does that excuse the bully, it openly communicates to the victim that 1) he’s allowed to be like that, 2) they should be bullies too and 3) nobody has any intention of actually helping them and changing the situation.

And then you make them shake hands afterwards and both have to apologize, the bully and his victim.

GRRRRRRRRR makes me so angry! Complete abdication of your responsibility to actually parent your little monster.
