📝 arctotherium: So much bad Western policy wrt Third World is based on the extremely foolish idea that, if we're nice to them, they'll be nice to us. Bad theory of the mind; we think they're like us (or like Germans/Japanese, with which this basically worked postwar), and they just aren't.

This question came about over a discussion my brother and I had about whether dogs should be on leashes when outside. We both agreed that yes, they should, for several reasons, but that's not the point.
Let's use a hypothetical to better illustrate the question. Imagine that there's a perfume - vanilla, for example - that doesn't bother you at all (you don't like nor dislike it), but that is very upsetting to some people, and can even cause some adverse reactions (allergies or something). In this hypothetical, based on the negative effects, you agree that vanilla perfumes should be banned. Currently, however, they are allowed.
You're walking down the street, and randomly smell someone passing you by and they're wearing a vanilla perfume.
Would that upset you? Why, or why not?
My answer is yes, without a doubt. Even though the smell itself doesn't bother me, the fact someone would wear that perfume and not only potentially upset others, but put them in danger, is upsetting.
My brother, however, would say no! He couldn't explain his reasoning to me.
I know this is a little convoluted, but I hope I got my question across.
My response might be sligtly convoluted, but I'll try to keep it simple. It relates to allergies.
For me, I am extremely allergic to oysters, and largely also allergic to shellfish. I'm so badly allergic to oysters that I cannot be in the same room as someone else eating them, the smell alone makes me gag, my eyes water, and makes my bronchial tubes swell where I can't even breathe.
I however am luckily not allergic to peanuts. Regardless, I totally understand how potentially deadly a peanut allergy can be to those with the allergy, and if I'm in a public place around strangers, I tend to assume that anyone around me might have a peanut allergy.
Last year, I was in line at a gas station, and the woman in front of me waiting to pay had bought boiled peanuts. And she was fucking shelling and eating the peanuts while waiting in line, the bitch couldn't even wait to pay for them, with cash, and exit the store first.
I called her out on it, and even pretended that I did have a peanut allergy, and what she was doing was not only nasty, but also a danger to others handling her peanut juice covered money.
She proved to be a Karen and not give a fuck, but I did speak my mind, on behalf of people that could possibly fucking die over her nastiness and carelessness.
Even though the woman proved to be a Karen, the cashiers working the store that day totally understood why I was upset. If only they had or enacted a policy of don't consume any products in the store...
As far as the dog on the leash thing, we're about 99% in favor of that, only exception being when we take our dog out to our city park, where we adopted him from as abandoned.
Brownie knows every inch of the park and I feel it would be wrong to not let him roam free occasionally when there's not many people or other animals around. Those sort of days are few and far between though, so 99% of the time he's on the leash.
If it's an off leash park it's fine. If it's on lead have them on lead. It isn't about your dog it's about everyone else's dogs. Dogs on leash are significantly more reactive when another dog runs up to them, so it's important to have control of the dog, lest one of the dogs gets badly hurt.
Our park is mostly a water park for kids at the front, with a couple pavilions, and a boat ramp and senior citizen center in the back. So yes, it's not an official dog park, but unofficial its accepted as one by pretty much everyone.
We keep him on the leash when there's lots of people or other dogs around, but on days when the park is practically empty, we let him roam free and burn his calories.
He was abandoned for like 5 months out at the park before we decided to adopt him, so most regular park visitors already know him. Police officers approve, they even helped us adopt him.
He's a medium size dog, and mostly chill, just sometimes playful. He's never hurt anyone.
Of course that's not true for all dogs though, hence why we're very careful regarding what sort of days we might let him roam around off the leash.
I don't even have half an idea what all foods do or don't contain gluten, but I am still almost equally inclined to call out people just plain out being nasty, especially in a public space where they're about to exchange paper cash.
Like shit, I totally respect paper cash, but FFS, try to make sure your hands are clean when handling or exchanging money. And definitely don't be literally eating food with your bare hands right at the register before even paying for it.
There was a certain type of perfume that seemed popular back in the 90s, that would make me instantly gag and almost puke within seconds. I have no clue how anyone found that as any sort of pleasant smell.
To me I thought it smelled like a woman with a nasty yeast infection, trying to cover it up with potpourri. But it wasn't even the women's health causing it, literal potpourri smell alone causes me the same gag reflex, the stuff just smells nasty to me and I can't be in the same room as that smell for long.
So yes, there are reasons to be offended by particular scents, even if others somehow find them pleasant.
I think me paying the botanischer garten to have sprouts of a plant that comes from the same area as me is kind of a tiny echo of the fact that the plant that came from the same area as me is named after Prince fucking Joseph Franz Maria Anton Hubert Ignatz Fürst und Altgraf zu Salm-Reifferscheidt-Dyck from fucking Neuss.
brb gonna go vandalise Schloss Dyck as a form of symbolic reparations
I ALSO really, really hate this and I'm barely into plants. It just pisses me off. Who the fuck cares about one of the early colonizers who took time off from being an absolute dickbag to draw some plant pictures and 'name/discover' something that was known about for ages?

You know what’s crazy is the end of the Bible always talks about how the final showdown between good and evil happens on the fields of Armageddon, like it’s some MCU shit.
Armageddon is a real place. You can just go there. It’s largely just farmland. Not much happening in terms of biblical revolt.
Just kind of growing grains and stuff. Day to day stuff.
So many naysayers. I'll find you ten better places for the apocalypse:
1. Ethiopia's Afar Desert. 2. The Gates of Hell in Turkmenistan. 3. Centralia, Pennsylvania 4. Catacombs, Venezuela 5. That snake island off the coast of Brazil 6. Chernobyl 7. Haunted Doll Island in Mexico 8. The divergent plate boundary in Iceland 9. Mauna Loa 10. The Yellpwstone Supervolcano.
@HG unless you’re a crop it’s effectively an ecological wasteland. Poisons are regularly applied and people drive machines across that field designed to cut and disassemble everything in their path.
@HG I think the thing about it is that it’s in like a strategic valley? Like you have to control that specific valley if you’re trying to occupy the region
Can you imagine like, there is just some farmer, who is like, “ah crap, I was going to sow the crops today, but I guess Lucifer and The Archangels decided to have a humongous war on my field. Aw, Shucks!”
How good is your Jewdar? In person can you sniff one out, I like to sharpen this skill, so I go to the Brooklyn water Bagel shop to eat in the Jewyest part of town or Chinese restaurants at Christmas,there are different facial structures for Jews but the beaty eyes give it away they all have a shifty gaze and constantly babbling to each other some scheme,I lived among gypsies in a trailer park before they carried on in a similar fashion,but they were more patriarchal,Jews seem more Matriarchal
@shortstories @Zeb The American Gypsies that I was around didn't care much about politics unless it was a Catholic thing which I think they all were cause the mother Mary statues in front of the trailer,they did steal jewelry and shoplift and run unlicensed contract scams
It could be that they call it is called the black maddonna and it is left handed tantric hindu goddess worship and it is meant to resemble Kali or Shakti
There is overlap between the Shkeinah and Shakti
The Shekinah kikes mention is not actually in the old testament but has more overlap woth the Hindu Shakti
@shortstories @Zeb The difference is Gypsies are a culture not a religion where Jews culture is religion there may be some black magic culture similarities as they were probably part of the same slave culture under the Babalonians or Persians at one point in history
There are Kikes who call themselves Atheists who insist they are different than Goyim who call themselves Atheists
I would suggest that when profession of belief in their deity Hashem is removed they are still culturally Kikes
There is the shared Kike cultural value between both Kikes who call themselves Atheists and Kikes who call themselves theists and that is the value of discriminating against people based on alleged ancestry
The overwhelming accent in Western media coverage of the hour-long Trump-Putin telephone conversation on 3 July was Trump’s alleged disappointment over the Russian leader’s insistence on pursuing the war with Ukraine until all of Russia’s objectives …
“If the Untouchables make no noise, the Hindu feels no shame for their condition and is quite indifferent as to their numbers. Whether they are thousands or millions of them, he does not care to bother.
But if the Untouchables rise and ask for recognition, he is prepared to deny their existence, repudiate his responsibility and refuse to share his power without feeling any compunction or remorse.”

Symptoms
No issues after logging in. After suspending (sleep) and resuming, screen takes 25 - 30 seconds to turn on. Display settings in Plasma take a long time to load, sometimes don't show automatic rotation option. Turning on screen after turning off (even without sleep) takes a long time. No suspicious logs in Kernel and Journald (even after comparing post-fix). Switching kernel makes no difference. Logging out and back in temporarily fixes screen rotation and screen waking until next suspend. Everything works in X11 session apart from screen rotation (appears unsupported). Running monitor-sensor hangs when running after suspend systemctl stop iio-sensor-proxy fixes slowdown issues
Workaround
Downgrading to iio-sensor-proxy 3.6-1 following Arch Linux package downgrade instructions. In my case with a cached package ```<> sudo pacman -U file:///var/cache/pacman/pkg/iio-sensor-proxy-3.6-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
and optionally adding it to IgnorePkg
```<>
IgnorePkg = iio-sensor-proxy # Issues in Wayland after suspend

The oligarch Jeff Bezos got married in Venice. The bride and groom were seen waving like the British royals, only not so poor. By the way, whoever bought Venice also bought the Washington Post, 12 private jets and the book "Exploitation of Workers for Dummies". If you calculate the cost of the wedding in relation to his wealth and then convert it to a normal mortal, the wedding only cost around 20 dollars. So just a totally cheap sausage buffet. After all, Bezos has also donated 3 million to charity, the equivalent of half a sausage.
yeah, but if all that money wasn't caught up in maybe granting the richest immortality, maybe the immortal spirit which sustains our world would open up its secrets to them.
IMO: Eh. Billionaires living out their YOLO fantasies because they know the mass planetary extinction they caused is nigh. Not sure why we little people should bother noticing or caring. Seems like we should be looking to our own survival since the billionaire's is guaranteed.
Common tale of riches if a proper hero can only slay the dragon before it.
The dragon has no interest in going to go buy goods at the market as it has no need. Nor does it ever have worry of other dragons having interest in seeking out to take it's "treasures".
The dragon, just seems to be hoarding "treasure" for no particular reason at all and rare is one to find questioned as why a dragon would have any such "modern man" like interest in "treasure" at all.
"Bezos", "Musk", "Buffet", etc. are IRL "dragons". where "meta" hits the real. *le sigh*

And I should point out also that the three installations, in Esfahan, in Natanz Fordo, that the American regime, the regime in Washington and the regime in Tel Aviv bombed. All three of these installations are regularly inspected by International Atomic Energy Agency experts. All of them, every part, every building, every place that's been bombed is under regular inspection. In other words, there's nothing there. But the United States and Israeli regime give themselves the right to do what they want. And the Western media by lying, by fabricating information, by fear-mongering, they justify it.

Titled The real fertility crisis: The pursuit of reproductive agency in a changing world, the report argues that what’s really under threat is people’s ability to choose freely when – and whether – to have children.
So not being able to afford a home, and food, being jobless, hampers people's ability to have children. Who could have guess.
The global fertility slump isn’t down to young people turning their backs on parenthood – it’s due to social and economic pressures stopping them from having the children they want, says a new UN report.
Falling birth rates isn't a crisis. The population of the world is huge. A shrinking population could make the world a better place and ease environmental crises.
Not quite as simple as that. With falling birth rate you have an aging population. More and more people who need to be supported by fewer and fewer people in their productive years. China and Japan found themselves in big trouble.
On the other hand yes, mass starvation and widespread disease will help to shrink the population.
There are population models for the earth that predict a leveling off and decline to a stable, sustainable point for various reasons I never quite absorbed.
It's complicated but one thing that has already been demonstrated in practical fashion is that you don't find a solution through falling birth rates alone.
@Jarasy I agree it isn't so simple. I object to the idea of 'birth rates are falling, we must raise them'. This idea is based on upholding the current economic system of growth, which is unsustainable.
We could better frame this as 'birth rates are falling, how can we adapt our economic and social systems to this new reality'.
The people who are complaining most about this are really saying "Birth rates among white people are falling, we must raise them." In the US, the demographic of women having babies is highest among Hispanics.
Obviously, did we stutter? Did we not make that plain? Yes we would love to see many more millions of white babies in the US and all across Europe. Is there a problem with that?
Is the apparent Reform surge due to more people voting for them or is their voter count staying the same while Labour & Tory voter counts decrease
EG if there are 100 voters & 20 vote Reform with the remaining 80 split between Tory & Labour
If 40 of the Tory/Labour voters then give up & don't vote, you now only have 60 voters & the reform share goes up to 33.3% from 20% despite them still only having 20 voters
