  • The lyrics to "if you're happy and you know it" imply you can be happy and not know it

    Jump

  • As someone who've struggled through life, my impression is that a lot of people who dont't, often don't realise how happy they are. It's like they are so used to being satisfied they don't really notice the happiness because they are so used to it

  • I have no problems with eye contact, and experience it as an important part of communication, also for me. There are times, when something really serious is discussed, that I look somewhere else to not get distracted, but thats about information overload and not about it being unpleasant

  • Fatal Terrorist Attacks in Europe from 1970 to 2017

    Jump

  • Hey! Eurovision says Israel is part of Europe! We should include their terror on these maps top then

    But then their circle would be so huge, it wouldnt be any space for the other countries

  • Right, so I was replying to you trying to make the meme into a " both sides bad" or "both sides are the same"-argument, pointing out how it is not

    I find your answer to my reply irrelevant to the point I was making

  • Anne Frank rule

    Jump

  • Anne Frank was a queer jewish victim of the nazi genocide. This is not comparable to the outing of Luigi, and I find this meme just as tasteless as the people who think the ceo is more important than normal people

  • Why is this fixing it? Both memes work, they dont contradict each other

  • Imperialism, authoritarianism and oppression is bad all around m'kay

  • No, they are saying one side being bad doesn't make "the other side" perfect or immune to criticism

    The US participating in the Palestinian genicide does not excuse Russia invading Ukraine. The US invading Iraq does not excuse nationalists in India attacking Muslims

    It is not the same thing, and western imperialism doesnt make non-western imperialism ok. Even if it is a lot worse

  • On prison abolition

    Jump

  • What reality? Prisons doesnt work. Even just abolishing them without alternatives would be better for solving crime Why prisons get the bulk of the offenders? Light be something wrong with the system then. Just like how tons of people starve to death each day while EU and USA burns food to keep high prices Something happening of not a good reason to continue doing it

  • On prison abolition

    Jump

  • These are not really my alternatives, but common solutions where I live. They are usually enforced through the police or in a court system where they base it on stuff like what you have done, what your intensions are, where you are in life, and what you yourself think will help you to not repeat your crimes It is not perfect, parties that pretend to be tuff on criminals are undermining it for cheap votes, and way too many still go to prison. But it is an alternative that works and that rehabilitate people without hurting them I wish we could go the opposite way

  • On prison abolition

  • Id say: prisons dont work, cost a lot and does huge damage. They also often work as a gateway to heavier crime. I dont need a replacement for that. "Nothing" would still be an improvement. This is the short answer

    When that is said, what do we do about crime? Id say that depends, what kind of crime? There are so many different motivations for doing crime, there should be just as many solutions: removing poverty, proper sex education, confiscating the money from the rich, remove the reasons people are doing crime in the first place

    We also do a lot of alternatives today: fines, mental hospitals, community service, guidance, conflict counseling, anger management courses, sometimes a serious conversation with the police, childcare help, detox institutions, and a lot more

    They have three things in common: they work, they are a lot cheaper and they dont for the same mental damage as torture/prison

    And then there are those under 1% og criminals that is totally lost, that need to be locked up. But only until we get a society where they dont get lost..

  • He must be stopped!

    Jump

  • Ye, I remember him arguing that some tankie was supporting holocaust because the tanke was talking about some stuff that happened in Soviet without talking about the Holocaust (in that movie), then moving on to another movie where he misgendered detransitioned people because, as he said, didnt aknowledge them being cis, and then ending up being against decolonialism because talking about ways to correct the wrong made by colonialism for some reason was white genocide or something like that, and then I stumbled over him arguing for Israel keeping their settlements in Palestine, even if he said the opposite in another video

    He never discuss with others, he always misrepresent their viewpoint because he want to fuel his ego by "winning" debates, never actually learning shit from people who knows more than him

  • What's the dumbest blockbuster movie you have seen that somehow received high praise?

    Jump

  • I love the idea, to change the gender and show how it would look if women was the dominant sex

    I don't think what they made was plausible. I know, it's barbie, but I don't find this version of "woman power" plausible without it changing the gender expressions. Like, how masculinity and being formed by masculinity being an expression of dominans, and therefore changes how men dress, behave and express themselves would change a lot Also, this is not a matriarchy, it is a patriarchy but where the women have the power. I've read several books where they flip the sexes, and I've found the concept interesting because it points out how much of our society is formed by the patriarchy, for all genders, which makes a lot of fun and interesting situations

  • Shouldnt be and being are two different concepts. Lack of discrimination shouldnt be a privilege, but it is. I dont think hiding it is a part of the solution

  • Time blindness strikes...in my favor for once?

  • Yes, and no. Im doing that, and uses tons of energy on that. So now, when someone else is late, I get very annoyed as Ice used so much time and energy to be early!

  • Its there, sometimes. Sometimes there is no shower caps, sometimes it appear after I have entered the shower. Sometimes it is because it is already on my head. Sometimes my cat found a new bed, so no shower caps
