“I live in a trashy society” don’t we all brother
More seriously, you got great advices in the thread, esp the pen and the muffins. You can offer sweets without having it mistaken as a romantic gestures, it then depends on the sweets you offer. A box of chocolates intent can easily be misconstrued, a box of donuts/muffins, much less so. Except if said muffins have hearts on them, it’s all about context.
Good luck !
Well, shutting you up was that easy, who would have guessed.
“Academic philosopher Michael V. Antony (2010) argued that despite the use of Hitchens’s razor to reject religious belief and to support atheism, applying the razor to atheism itself would seem to imply that atheism is epistemically unjustified. According to Antony, the New Atheists (to whom Hitchens also belonged) invoke a number of special arguments purporting to show that atheism can in fact be asserted without evidence.”
If only you could read, maybe you’d be more tolerant, but I doubt it, sigh.
Oops, missed that answer This is the explanation of the 10k thing
I see, it does make sense but there’s an argument to be made about obscuring things like that (not in the case of aikido tho, here it’s more of a “practical translation” of sort, and how it has always been passed down), which is why I said I can’t take it seriously.
But you’re right that if it profits OP, good for them, it’s a bit like religion in that sense.
Thanks for the precision
The way this is written is clearly intended to speak about energy of people, and some that steal it, like you’d steal a candy on your coworker desk, for example.
Which, oof, I just can’t take it seriously right from the start.
And then there’s the gross generalization of people and how they act, but that’s a more common trope, which can sometimes be partly true at least but meh.
“stealing energy” Oof
If you don’t, you’re one of today lucky 10000 !
The one so inclined to punish lack of faith ? The one portrayed with selfish and toxic reactions all throughout the Bible ?
How can anyone read the Bible and live on this planet and think “God is good”, that’s beyond even simple cognitive dissonance at this point, it’s willful blindness.
I hope you’ll open your eyes someday.
I would like you to provide pictures of that. I’m pretty sure that’s pretty rare in France.
Have you tried sleeping on your left side after a heavy meal before bed ? Helps a lot with mitigating any digestion problems, due to how the digestive system is made
You guys get ads ?
I kinda wish it would expand on the fact that for some people, the constant care and all that is not for them, and doesn’t make it “a good deal” Other than that it’s a great summary, coming from someone that doesn’t want any.
“US food culture” is a melting pot from which about half of it is originated from Europe, the other half from other parts of the world.
You should be wary trying to school other people about culture when your country is 500 years old, I’ll just ignore you now, because “eurotrash” is the only thing you’re gonna be able to muster as an answer anyway.
You never pay for water in most of EU, but ok
no
