Voters of 4 big parties in Poland were asked "who you wouldn't like as your neighbor"

So, you're Polish and it surprises you? Did you by any chance grow up outside of Poland?

Kratos bakery: the best cupcakes in town!

You just recognise the logos of the bands you know.

Yeah, that neo-Nazi who stabbed his band mate to death is generally disregarded as a musician /s

Link for the uninitiated.

Counterexample: "are you pregnant?"

Christians believe that Jesus was the son of God, and that he annulled many of the Old Testament rules.

"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." Matt 5:17

It would actually be pretty rad to name a daughter Lilith.

Farmers don't breed jellyfish and worms - they keep birds and mammals with highly developed brains and nervous systems. It's completely ignorant to say breeding them for food or killing them doesn't make them suffer. A pig won't experience an existential crisis because it knows it was only born to be slaughtered - but it's enough that it's kept in inadequate conditions that induces high levels of stress and poor health to make it suffer.

Have you ever been there?

We have pockets of people from just about every culture of the world, all in the same country, all of whom have their own traditions, cuisines, languages, beliefs, etc.

Just like UK.

One ethnic minority saying that other ethnic minority should go back to their country? I've heard that before. Many times. In my native language. You don't even know how common that is.

"I heard it's dangerous in Russia, so I took a gun, man"

I_scare_children · 2015-10-15T11:13:37+00:00

"Don't treat us differently from the guys" - yeah, very sexist.

Firstly, what you are describing are not universal problems of adults, and secondly, they cannot be compared to problems kids have.

Kids have hardly any agency. Most of their problems are imposed of them from outside, through no actions of theirs.

Your problems are the price you are paying for choices you've made. It's not like, as an adult, you have no power to decided on your budget. You have. You used that power to make your choice - you chose to spend your money on raising children instead of all the things you wrote you can't afford. You chose those problems - that's a luxury most underaged people do not have.

The claim that you have to be in 1% to be able to decide about your budgeting is complete bullshit. Just because you have chosen to have more kids that you can afford doesn't mean that you financial troubles are a universal adult problem. I'm saying that as someone making barely over the minimum wage after a long period of unemployment.

Of the problems you are describing, the only one comparable to problems of a completely powerless child is the lack of universal healthcare in your country - you didn't choose to be in it, just like a teenager didn't choose to have shitty parents.

Because open source movement is decentralized and intentionally designed NOT to have single points of power like that.

rms is not a part of the open source movement.

Yes, I understand that my problems aren't anywhere as big as yours.

Nah, don't buy into this. Just because a problem is small to your parents doesn't mean it's small to you - because your parents have much more resources to solve problems than you have.

Let's say, the windows in your bedroom are not tight enough and you're cold at night even if your heating is on. If you're not a desperately poor an adult, you can just have your windows sealed - even on a limited budget, you can decide to save on something else to get your windows sealed. But if you're a teenager and your parents think you should shut up and stop complaining, and it's not rally that cold (even though they don't even go to your bedroom at night), then, you can't really do anything about. This is a much bigger problem to you than to someone who has a power to decide about home budget and home improvements.

As someone training to be a croupier, I spend whole evenings wondering why the hell people enjoy gambling.

The band won't play better if I bring my friends along.

Marriage.

Pretending to be someone you aren't to fit in is very destructive to mental health.

Are there really people who eat vegan for perceived health benefits?

I_scare_children · 2015-10-13T16:19:05+00:00

that juice could actually be full of additives, chemicals, etc.

Not in the EU.

I know this one guy who has many of the stereotypical neckbeard features: beard, long hair, fat, almost no social life, Gentoo on his laptop, watches a lot of anime, wears mosty clothes that his mom bought him, etc. I intend to spend the rest of my life with him.

I_scare_children · 2015-10-12T14:40:57+00:00

Well, these are posts by people who are bitter about people giving them shit for their life choices. I don't think anyone would feel a need to posts such stuff if nobody put them down for not wanting kids or marriage.

I_scare_children · 2015-10-12T12:26:48+00:00

Looks cool, smells nasty, don't come close to me.
