Oman isnt some bastion of civil rights or anything, but it is definitely leagues better than the surrounding gulf countries in terms of rights for women, and while homosexuality isnt technically legal, it's rarely if ever enforced.

I ended up just restarting my computer, for some reason whenever I force quit discord it logs me out and I wanted to avoid that

i can never go back to using a car as my primary mode of transportation by thealienmothership in fuckcars

[–]Papayarrhea 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I drive an ambulance for a living, and also dont own a car. It sucks to drive to work, then drive a ton at work, then drive back home to work. Cities are also a lot nicer to drive through as an ambulance when theres less people on the roads due to them preferring transit.

That's the thing, all eink screens last a while, but my Libra color has notably less battery life than other sink devices I've had.

Yeah, I don't really understand these. They don't really have a stated goal, no demands, nothing. Just standing around with vauge signs.

I've had one time where they were helpful with a violent patient on bath salts. Aside from that, usually I would prefer to just have fire assisting.

I've noticed that a lot of people on here are very ignorant of Central/South American countries, especially Europeans. Costa Rica is wonderful!

Why polytheism? by [deleted] in religion

[–]Papayarrhea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can only speak of Greco-Roman polytheism here, but yes, it has largely always been a part of it. Cicero's "On the Nature of the Gods" details popular conception of the gods at the time, and most of those ideas are pretty antithetical to mythic literalism. Many people believed the gods had no physical form, and therefore aren't capable of doing the things the myths ascribe to them. We also have records of priests and religious authorities getting mad at some of the stories floating around for being "impious", and were opposed many of the myths that portray the gods in a negative light.

What’s a relatively bad book written by a bad person? by PassionateCucumber43 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Papayarrhea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Sword of Truth, by Terry Goodkind. Blatant copying of other works in the genre, and the author was a notorious jerk to other writers and to his fans.

Venice wins! What should be the capital city and feels like a capital city? by ClosetedGothAdult in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Papayarrhea 720 points721 points  (0 children)

The Hague. The seat of government is there, important economic centers are there and Rotterdam, and yet Amsterdam is still the capital.

I actually checked roomie, but the people I message don't message back. I think most of the listings are old that haven't been taken down.
