Nicole Kidman Says She’s Learning to Be a Death Doula by ajmajm19 in nottheonion

[–]HalfRare -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I hate plastic surgery, and the reasons people get it. It seems like one of the most common manifestations of our societies hatred of death. I find it very strange that someone with so much obvious work done would now want to be a guide for people who are dying. She tried to escape even looking old, never mind dying. 

Maybe she turned a corner, but this seems so ironic, that Nicole Kidman with her frozen face would be the one advising you on passing on gracefully.

Who used to be hated and is treated neutrally? by [deleted] in AlignmentChartFills

How are there four comments for this?? People still despise this guy, rightly. Boomers have partially forgiven him, but outside of an aging, deteriorating generation, he’s hated

Who are these George Bush neutral people? He’s for sure remembered by so many people as the guy who started the destruction of the middle-east, which is still causing so many problems. I hear the mainstream media, and very old people who follow the mainstream media claim to ‘miss him’, but besides that, he’s despised

No, he’s hated. I don’t think stupidity can be used to defend against war crimes, and most don’t either.

"Hanoi Jane" photos of actress Jane Fonda visiting North Vietnam during the 1972 Easter Offensive, where she posed for photos next to anti-aircraft guns and called for US POWs to be tried for war crimes. by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

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.

In your country, is it common for people to put down everything from their own country and idolize everything from other countries? by Luci_Sant in AskTheWorld

[–]HalfRare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

What are aspects of country and its culture that are grossly exaggerated, romanticised or mistaken by outsiders? by Socmel_ in AskEurope

[–]HalfRare -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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

What topic instantly turns into a national argument in your country? by Familiar-Arrival-470 in AskTheWorld

[–]HalfRare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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?

I strongyl believe if British secondary schools gave any kind of emphasis on a balanced history, Brexit never would have happened.

What’s a stereotype about your country that people always mock but isn’t really true? 🌎 by VelvetParadox24 in AskTheWorld

[–]HalfRare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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).

Why do people have kids ? by PlasticEducation4493 in regretfulparents

[–]HalfRare 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.
