  • I agree, but I also fear religious people. Religion has time and time again interfered with people’s autonomy.

    It still does to this day. Women in Oman, for example need a man (even if it is their son) to approve of her surgery. A woman needed surgery, but had no male relatives closeby to approve it for her. It was an emergency. Thankfully it was approved, but required a lawyer.

    Christianity isn’t any better where I live.

    Religion is fine on a personal level, but dangerous for everyone on a larger scale.

    Reminds me of this: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0361684319871913

    In short. The higher the social status of the woman compared to the man, the more likely the man is to sexually objectify her. Wheras women aren’t more likely to do this based on relative status.

    Objectification is defined as reducing a person to solely looks and sexual function.

    Similar stuff is seen in primates. Females are easier targets to assert dominance over. Since they are physically weaker. Male long tail maqacues losing their status, would seek out younger/weaker targets to establish dominance over. Something that was interesting too, is that female maqacues with more masculine facial features, were less often subjected to dominance seeking behaviour (from both males and females if I recall correctly) than females with more feminine faces.

    It seems to boil down to “who can I dominate with little risk?” Female? Easy. Big male? Stupid idea. Young male? No problem. Male of equal size? Potentially.





  • I get it though. I love driving cars, busses and trucks. It’s a lot of fun. But the fun isn’t worth the resources it takes to make, maintain and pollute.

    Honestly. I wish my country wasn’t sacked by the rich who “wanted to lower taxes” but only ended up decreasing the funding for essential services. Services the poor rely on more than the rich. Healthcare and public education mainly. If we didn’t have vampires at the helm, we’d probably have more taxes going to public services. And heck, I would have loved our country to pay tax for “free” public transport. That would be so much more efficient, safe and affordable for everyone.

    Because rn, my LPG chevrolet spark is more affordable than a train subscription. Gonna give my ol car to a family member though. She needs it more. Living in a rural area and needing to travel pretty far for her work. Public transport would be 1.5-2hrs travel while driving is about 45min.




  • Depends. I had 4 at 90°. Only one hurt a little. They caused pockets, which are hard to clean (impossible by yourself) and can accelerate bone loss. I removed 3 of them. 2 by a jaw surgeon. They were creating a space bewteen molars deeper inside the bone, while also creating an opening at the top. Nasty.

    Chronic inflamation of the gums don’t hurt either. Best way to tell is by a mouth hygiënist. If your gums bleed easily while flossing, it’s a good idea to keep flossing. Takes about 1-2 weeks before the gums calm down and the swelling dissipates. I use those tiny round brushes to get in between. If you start using those, m start with the thinnest wire. The metal should absolutely not scrape against the teeth, only the brush.

    Taken years to form that habit…
