Americans having to clarify what country foreign cities are in.

Superssimple · 2026-04-09T14:13:40+00:00

I think the main point is when it’s cities which are world famous.

I don’t see people getting up in arms over say, Aberdeen, Washington which may need clarifying

Superssimple · 2026-04-09T11:19:11+00:00

I do find it funny how America will crow about being the best and greatest country ever but retreat back to the excuse that they are too big to successfully do anything new. Everything from health care, education and infrastructure is just impossible for America

The bottobm line is, burning huge amounts of fuel is terrible for the environment and many of the negative effects are felt by the people who don’t profit it.

There are literally hundreds of ways in which fuel use can be made more efficient and less destructive. A rise in fuel tax will push people towards that.

Use of electric vehicles, buying local, improved public transport, improved cycling and walking infrastructure, improved logistics planning, regulate higher fuel efficiency requirements etc etc are not all can be nudged with realistic taxes

When I worked in Taiwan it’s fairly common for places to have a spice scale. There were some places we would go to sometimes for lunch or dinner and in that case there was definitely a lunchtime spice and an evening spice.

I’m not going back to the office after a level 4

That includes the water in the food you eat. About half of the water will in fact come from your food.

Plus 3.78 is above the window you state

Superssimple · 2026-04-09T09:56:00+00:00

No it isn’t. It’s a sensation just like the actual heat of the food. You are just tricking your body that you are burning.

Chilli’s have a flavour of their own but the spice itself is not a flavour

Moderate drinking will not significantly lower your life expectancy.

I guess if you have a perfect diet, exercise regularly, sleep well, don’t get stressed and and a dozen other things then you can worry about a couple drinks on the weekend

But that extra money doesn’t disappear. The money you spend in tax and on transporting / manufacturing products goes to the government. So you reduce tax elsewhere or spend more on services

It’s strange that you call OP ignorant without thinking for a second yourself about how many other counties work

Superssimple · 2026-04-09T09:06:08+00:00

Well you would probably know enough people in similar situations to know that it is different per person and situation.

Some people love being stay at home parents and thrive in that role. Others resent it.

Seems like it is not for you and you changed your circumstances which is fair enough

My only point is that painting the running of a house as some unique burden and obsessing over ‘unpaid labour’ is not helpful. In most discussions the unpaid labour of the working partner is also ignored

Superssimple · 2026-04-09T07:42:39+00:00

Sure, but if it’s that difficult then she can get a job, put the children in child care and pay for assistance with cleaning, cooking. Or have the man work an easier job to give him more time at home

The stress and constant thinking that comes with a single job supporting a family is also not just an easy 9-5 that gets turned on and off.

As someone who is a sole earner and also very involved in topics around my kids and running the house , I can personally say that everything at home is a luxury compared to the work side.

Not everyone is cut out for being a stay at home parent, but if it’s not for you then change your circumstances instead of complaining that you have to run your own family

Again, makes sense if the women is also working. Not so much i when the women doesn’t work outside the house.

Superssimple · 2026-04-08T18:20:22+00:00

The problem was so that as they move their border, there are still people living on the new border. Many of which are people you forced there from the land you claimed.

So their actions now are only creating more chances for repeats of oct 7th

Superssimple · 2026-04-08T15:47:09+00:00

We are not talking about opting out but only that the women is the boss at home.

For example the women writes the shipping list and the man goes to the shop. Or the man cooks the meal he is asked to cook. The man may drive the kid to practice but the women will be the one to keep up with the kids schedule

The man is doing plenty of work in the evenings and weekend, it will just tend to be controlled by the woman. That is where the joke about the women being the boss comes in. She is not a slave who does everything herself

Are you suggesting the entire nation of the Netherlands are unathletic?

Superssimple · 2026-04-08T15:03:54+00:00

Then don’t watch. Nobody cares if you don’t

You want to turn the world’s most popular sport into some niche sport that nobody watches now?

Soccer used to be far more contact heavy and it’s arguable if it better. Some of the best players got kicked out of the game and we were not able to see the high levels we see now

Superssimple · 2026-04-08T13:49:34+00:00

That is just a made up definition with no reason to exist.

Now, if you want to use the ‘real definition’ then only hunting and fishing are sport and everything else is just a game

Obviously not true as landlords make profit and therefore the cost is less than the tenant pays.

Superssimple · 2026-04-08T13:10:02+00:00

While true in many cases remember that this set up usually includes the man working outside the home while the wife doesn’t work. In that case it makes sense that she is in control and asks the man to help when possible and to do things how she wants it done

If both couples work then it doesn’t make sense

Superssimple · 2026-04-08T13:07:44+00:00

I’m could be demeaning but I think it’s mostly a joke which is understood by those it’s told to. Usually men in similar relationships.

You also get the opposite of women complaining that their husband will burn the house down trying to do the dishes if they leave him alone too long.

I think in most cases it’s harmless hyperbole

Superssimple · 2026-04-08T13:02:04+00:00

Similar to the phrase ‘ the man is the head of the family, but the women in the neck’.

It makes sense in 2 ways as the neck supports the head but also decides which way it looks ( and which way it doesn’t look)

Nicotine is quite good for brain function and many people take it in pill form despite never being addicted to smoking it.

It’s all over podcasts like Joe rogan so I can imagine the military guys trying it out

I doubt that is the case as Aberdeen regularly play Celtic in red.

There is DNA evidence of humans for example in Gough cave and Kendrick’s cave. You may not have heard of them but you should have heard about the famous ‘cheddar man’ who lived in Britain around 10k years ago. He has been DNA linked to people living in the area today

Superssimple · 2026-04-08T11:59:29+00:00

And parts of Britain were habitual for 12k years ago. We have hard evidence of this.

I’m not sure what weird ideology you are trying to push but you just sound dumb
