The first one. Many people wouldn’t want to live under Russian regime, alsi they would be afraid of retribution for resistance. Russian speaking is not the same as Russian.

That would probably lead to more people feeing Ukraine.

The cryogenic freezing is superstupid indeed if meant seriously and not just as a kind of kink. The rest of it is just immoral and/or perverted but kind of clever?

What makes you think Epstein was stupid? I’m asking genuinly. I always thought it was a clever scheme to get all the leverage on influential people, but I don’t know that much about him.

Time for denazification of Russia.

Let’s not compare that, I’m happy she was banned. I know you don’t want to say it was ok, but the comparison could be used to pardon her behaviour.

Nono, I mean in other animated series.

I’d like to point out that toxic masculinity is not the same thing as male sexuality. One can be criticised without the other being condemned.

Are there any non-Simpsons yellow animated people?

The emoji standard is bright yellow though, not peach or white.

I love the last paragraph.

I think it depends on the particular people. I know a conservative whom it is impossible to talk to without them turning the conversation into politics full of hate in the shortest possible time. I’d love to know, whether there’s any statistics about this, because obviously the experience from our social bubbles is not enough.

I read it as “a little LSD kid”.

Eating beef is expensive, though. I agree with the rest.

Definitely. Diverse friends give you a lot of insight and perspective and can help you not to become too judgemental. And then, when you’re really old, you will still have a social circle despite the older people and many of your age group being gone.

The older you get, the more it is important to have younger friends as well.

Some might know, some might not know. I don’t think it’s relevant to them and would never confront anyone about it. This connection will die out with time (sooner than the older people, they’ll just get used to seeing it).

I’m old enough to remember people actually using it for heating at home!

My floors are clean and warm enough for me to walk barefoot. I can’t imagine not taking of my shoes at home. I treat shoes as a necessary evil. Not even barefoot shoes give you the same comfort as just a bare foot. Can’t imagine not having the feeling in my life. Also, the airflow around my feet - wouldn’t want to spend more time than necessary in a closed shoe. I even wear slippers at work for this reason.

Perhaps they value different things in life. Everyone is not the same, what works for you won’t work for everyone. There are people who enjoy having responsibility. Having children, being a manager and doing charity work feels fulfilling to them.
