    I hear so many weird ass things from people in the US. Plenty of “why were we taught this and that” as if learning the countries in Europe is somehow some esoteric knowledge. And then I remember having to learn all the countries in the world, all of the US states, all of the capitals for 90% of the countries, all the seas, rivers etc. It’s really funny seeing people complain about the tiniest of things they had to learn as if it was med school.


  • Regarding the execution part of punishments - some crimes / offences were so severe and required a lot of peoples’ fault to happen, that they used to kill every tenth soldier in the legion. That’s the origin of the word “decimation” - in latin it means “removal of every tenth”. They drew lots and the other nine would have to kill the tenth unlucky one. Then they got their diet switched and thrown out of the the walls of the camp to fend for themselves for a while.




  • That’s not a “general rule” based on the statistics. Which you try to excuse by saying “all pitbulls have shitty owners therefore they all bite more and kill a shitload of people despite being less populous than other breeds”. Except statistics doesn’t work that way, not with a large sample, such as “the entire breed of dogs”. So according to statistics with a huge sample size, pitbulls are more deadly than any other breed.

    Your argument about human race and trying to somehow equate some sort of “dog racism” is ridiculous and I won’t even dignify that with a response.

    I wouldn’t call it that. In the end, you aren’t responsible for what you like or dislike. And once you find someones “ick” that you can’t deal with, it’s hard to get over it. I have a bunch of those - racism, unwilingness to learn, regular smoking. Theirs was just “man crying”. Also, there is crying and then there is holding in emotions and exploding. Sadly, I’m guilty of the latter. I don’t really blame them, rather I feel disappointed more than anything.

    Yeah, but that’d be living a lie and hiding your emotions. Which is less healthy than being single. Meeting someone that likes you is something that can be done conciously rather easily with the right steps - but it does require a strong will, a lot of human interaction and a bunch of time. It also requires investing in yourself - living healthy, happy and mindful.
