This reads as a quote against freedom of the press, which is also likely the original intention of the author, given what happened later.
I would not consider this inspiring whatsoever.
And no, that doesnt mean that I think the current system implements freedom of the press.
so? whats your point? We’re smart enough to know what we’re doing, an insect is not.
Somewhere, deep down, a hippie is turning in their grave.
thats the same.
Like they always said: Just get more sun! Touch grass! Its easy!
since its a completely different person that just tries to look like you, neither. A bit of narcissism maybe.
I’m pretty sure you always had a moustache …
feeling very opressed right now /s
I mean, we likely also hunted every animal on the planet unsuccessfully and got killed by them.
did any society ever rely on polar bears as a major food source? because to me, that would seem like the absolute last resort. Not an everyday-type activity, more something for the desperate or someone crazy. Then again, I’m not into stone age history.
i can assure you, if I could play the guitar while riding a unicycle, you’d never see me do anything else, ever again. and i do know how to ride one.
Thats an insane level of skill, guy’s got the right to brag.
its revenge, actually. Justified at that.
Thats how we made it this far. Some absolute morons charge ahead and get themselves killed, while everyone else shakes their head. With some animals it works, surprisingly. Others we learn to keep away from- until the next moron feels like " hey, lets try that thing again!".
I feel you, lol. To be fair, its likely that they do turn into complex hallucinations after a while. Those cartoon characters have typically spent too long in the desert sun and are dying of thirst.
i always thought that it was especially cruel that it looks like water. Damn illusion could look like anything, but no, it just has to be water.
well, what happened is that Greece was forced into a state of austerity that didnt help absolve them of debt and ultimately caused more damage than good. Especially for the working population.
Thats kinda important, regarding Germanys role in “helping” the country.
okay, but regarding productivity: do you really buy that idea?
Because to me that would imply that greek workers are just less productive than german workers, which is why they have to work so hard.
There are a lot of other factors at play
I’m German for context. I was born into a country that was already pretty well-off economically speaking, long before I could participate. I got a great education for free. I dont work less because I’m more productive or efficient. I work less, because our country can afford better labor laws and there is a social net that catches family members who are struggling and/or have bad health. I got work at all because the german economy performs comparably well and our politicians and rich people didnt screw up this bad. At least not when our own country is concerned. Dont want to make a statement about foreign policy.
i really want to be left alone in parks. i go there to chill, not to have some awkward dude sit down next to me and try to strike up a conversation with an obvious ulterior motive.
Just to point out how subjective the whole time-and-place thing is. Not saying someone with a lot of tact couldnt pull it off. But thats not the target demography of a post like this.
Getting to know someone through shared interests/common activities is definitely the safer route, not just for the guys.
you repurpose old fabric. same as with rags. as for what they’d do with it: likely wash and reuse them. same as with cloth diapers nowadays.
the alternatives would be leaves from certain plants or water and a hand.
i fucking hate this timeline.
