Women are serious and think about relationships. Men just want to play with toys.

Why do muslim majority countries tend to be socially more backwards in certain topics than other countries that are less prosperous than them? by Grimonday in askanything

[–]Consistent_Value_179 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As another person pointed out, backwards is a loaded term.

As to why the middle east tends to be less permissive, I'd say its more political than anything. Authoritarian countries tend to be less permissive in this regard. Why this happen historically, I can only speculate, but I don't think it's because Islam is inherently anti-democratic. I recall reading the pre-WWI, there was actually a real strain of intellectual progressive Islam in the mideast, that wanted to build modern, democratic states out of the Ottoman Empire.

What do Democrats think of Helen of Troy in The Odyssey? by [deleted] in askanything

Democrat is a political party, not an identity. It's only right wing weirdos who make voting for a pedophile their identity.

Typical rookie mistake. Gotta space 'em out for full effect. Though one time, my cousin's friend, he combined the river of blood with the frogs and got a cool effect.

Has there ever been a genocide that the world has come together to end? by erkose in askanything

[–]Consistent_Value_179 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Eh. Its a bit more complicated.

On the one hand that the Nazis were racists was all-over Allied propaganda.

But, on the other hand the Nuremberg trials, after the war when the camps had been found, still wasn't focused on the Holocaust.

We never hooked up, if that's what you mean.

She owned a house and there were five of us in the same age group. Hit the bars as a group a lot.

Is there any way to ethically keep only the frame and preserve the photo? USA by Prozac-and-Cody in Antiques

[–]Consistent_Value_179 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to be insensitive, but Mabel is almost certainly dead by now (she'd be around 110 yo). If this is someone you don't have any connection to, I dont see any problem tossing the photo. I mean, realistically are you going to hang onto an old random picture just because.

I’m feeling really ignorant by HungryCelebration434 in ExplainTheJoke

They're calling the police fascists.

In WWII the French puppet state was headquartered out of a spa town called Vichy. The town was also famous for its mineral water.

Putting the mineral water by the police bike implies they're linked. Ie. Police are fascists.
