Thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time and effort to type a well-thought response to educate me on a subject about which I am woefully ignorant. I’ve bookmarked your reply so I can refer back to it. I hope others will read your post and if they’re knowledgeable, add more.

I hope TF not.

Thank you. I’m trying to understand what the resistance front is. Wikipedia says separatist movement that uses no religious language but there may be governmental tires or something like that. I have a feeling this isn’t going to be a one-evening dive, but months or years.

I understand, and thank you.

Can you please give news sources for what you’re saying? I’m sorry, I’m just terribly uninformed on this.

Serious questions: India attacked Kashmir? Why? Did they have intel that Pakistan was actually involved in a tourist attack or is this assumption?

Please don’t give us any ideas.

Afrikaners want to go to Minnesota, Idaho, Alabama…The reason to charter a flight for the initial group of Afrikaners was not immediately clear. The charter plane would cost far more than commercial tickets, sources said.

I wanted to post a quote, but the whole article was worthy.

Maybe. Maybe not. Do you prefer the sexual partner that is openly more chaotic/messy, occasionally abusive or the one that has a few normal character flaws but is otherwise wonderful, until one day you have a fever, open sores on your generalis while being completely monogamous, then get diagnosed with hsv, syphilis, antibiotic -resistant gonorrhea, and HIV with a very low t-cell count?

That said both sides probably over exaggerate the accusations and understate accomplishments of each other and reverse that for and their own.

That’s what I keep saying about adopting healing language/actions because it’s not different when we do it, for “reasons.” The Lemmy masses are almost entirely against it.

The worst one, but not the only one

I had to come back to share with you what was coincidentally posted on YT this evening. Perhaps you will find it as relevant as I did – or not. By one of my recent favorite lecturers:

Damn. I knew water wars are coming outside Israel/Palestine, but they weren’t on my second quarter 2025 bingo card.

Maybe the issue isn’t individual, but societal. Brave New World had vacation pills, interestingly named Soma. The current people don’t even want you to have a mind vaycay.

Instinct for pleasure does.

The same reason abstinence only sex ed doesn’t work.

My concern is another Reefer Madness type of propaganda campaign. We need legit, replicable and replicated studies. I don’t indulge anymore, for several reasons. Most were practical but also unrelated to health/employment.

Best case scenario at this point is that both China and the US are successful in neutering each other’s foreign power.

I doubt either will be neutered, in the near future; heavily curtailed is a starting point.

A man can dream, right?

“In the beginning was the word.”

Aliester Crowley said magick is causing a change in reality, in conformance with will. It’s unfortunate so many conflate that with bippity-boppity-boo and no do. The word without action is merely a dream. Sacrifices will need to be made, even up to human life. That doesn’t necessitate bloodlust though.
