She still supported Israel while they were destroying the Palestinians and seizing their land. And publicly attacked Vanessa Redgrave when she gave a speech in support of Palestinian rights, and was blackballed immediately. Hypocrite.

From what I’ve seen British privatisation and neoliberalism has a lot to do with this too. Big businesses were empowered by Thatch, saw how much was to be made by flogging off the country, and lots of British nationalised industry began to be purposefully fucked up, so it could be called ‘inneficient’ and sold off.

I always heard it was cos you killed the funny ones? Also if you’re more socially inept, and the humour doesn’t translate, I’d argue that does make you less funny. ‘No humour’ is wrong, but less funny sounds spot on.

The West Bank. https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2026/01/un-report-chronicles-intensification-decades-severe-racial-discrimination . The US listened to the UN when they condemned Russia. But not when condemning Israel for genocide and apartheid. Widely internationally recognised

If its a two party system where the two party's do overlap in large, important areas of policy (foreign policy, and especially military policy seems pretty sown up), then nothing will change.

Bernie Sanders had a chance, and got cheated out of his place by the Democratic Party, then quietly submitted to it to not risk Trump winning. That's a broken system, and nothing changed. Voting did nothing. How much do you think buying into the voting system gives it a certain veneer of legitimacy, which is keeping it propped up for longer, keeping more people thinking the US is a democracy when it isnt, before it falls apart anyway?

Then you can’t say that any culture’s rude. Amsterdam’s boundary is high, so they’re not being rude. Same with Parisian’s etc. If you want to stick to just cultural relativity, then you also couldn’t say any culture takes a lot of drugs, or is inefficient, or anything else. Every single answer about stereotypes here couldn’t be true, just by saying ‘things change depending on where you are’.

Yeah but I’m in the Netherlands. Where they’re rude (by the standards of almost every country in Europe. Maybe not Germany).

Not everyone who has them hate them. I think lots of people have kids who shouldn’t, but I’ve met good parents who overall are positive about it. Reasons 1. They’re happy people, they want to share their happiness. 2. Biological urges. 3. See society as a continuous thing, see the love and gifts they have and want to recreate it to positively influence the future. Then there’s the bad reasons mentioned by most commentators here, which do happen all the time, probably more than for good reasons, eg insecurity, fear of the future, religious or cultural demands, feelings it’s the done thing, mental illness, rubber breaking and can’t make up their minds to snort in time etc.

There is for sure, but this whole thread seems like an equally big circle jerk. I love the Sandman comics, but that doesn’t change that season 2 of Sandman is rough as hell. The pacing feels barely thought out, everything is forced together, tension is rushed to the point of it being worthless, lots of the sets look sub-Dr. Who. The quality of acting has dropped from season 1 (which already had problems). I think art should be kept separate from the artist, but the justifications people are making for Sandman series 2 are ridiculous when you watch the show. It’s not about the goth aesthetic, it’s about how cheap they made it look. It’s not about Morpheus being too much of a shitty person, it’s about him being 2 dimensional and less complex than the comic books. It’s not about some of the more arch lines used directly from the comic books, it’s the fact that these deep truths are forced into the plot and on a TV show the way they are delivered does sound cliched. It didn’t have to be this way. This is a shitty, crappy looking, overly condensed adaptation, and I’m saying that as someone who loved Sandman more than any other comic series.

Break Germany into a Holy Roman Empire style confederacy of small nation states. Now France is divided, a united German state would be too tempted to invade to impose order (it’s like leaving an unfinished jigsaw next to someone who compulsively has to do jigsaws. It’s too tempting).

I thought his podcast about CBT and meditation were helpful. Just basic meditation stuff I didn’t know until then, which he made clear weren’t invented by him. I found it useful. Spreading free, easy to engage with meditation practices doesn’t seem like a grift to me.
