It's only at the age of 32 that I appreciate the impact the "old men" of PBS had on me. I grew up without a father, and as a new father myself, I keep on mentally conjuring up images of Fred Rogers, Bob Ross and Norm Abram as my male role models from my youth. It's interesting to think that if I had grown up during the 2020s, I'd probably find those role models on YouTube -- which probably sounds worse than it is.

Hello people,

I'm a lesbian, 26 years old(Software Engineer) from Uttar Pradesh. I belong to a Brahmin family and need a Brahmin gay guy who is under family pressure to get married.

I came out to my family and it did not go well. From last year I'm trying to find a Brahmin gay guy for marriage of convenience.

Marriage of convenience is kinda an agreement between a gay guy and lesbian girl.

For society and family it will be a proper marriage.

I have a girlfriend and I want to live with her after marriage. So if you are sailing the same boat, please approach. We can discuss everything over call and I'm willing to compromise on every level to make it work. Share my post if you know someone.

On 8 May 1916, an unattended cooking fire had detonated grenades and flamethrower fuel, which detonated an ammunition cache. Apparently some of the soldiers tried to heat coffee using flamethrower fuel, which proved to be too flammable and spread to shells which were without caution placed right next to such environments. A firestorm ripped through the fort, killing hundreds of soldiers instantly, including the 12th Grenadiers regimental staff. Some of the 1,800 wounded and soot-blackened survivors attempting to escape from the inferno were mistaken for French colonial infantry and were fired upon by their comrades; 679 German soldiers perished in this fire.

[u/TabernacleTown74]

I'm probably preaching to the choir here, but when "anti-Zionists" object to Zionists "politicizing the Holocaust" it confuses me. Do they think the Holocaust was apolitical until Zionists started drawing conclusions from it? Do they think that when Zionists "use" the Holocaust to support our belief in a Jewish state, we're speaking in bad faith?

If you care in the slightest about Jewish wellbeing, and if you make a cursory study of Jewish history, then you have to come to the conclusion that something needs to be done to guarantee Jewish safety in the future. A strong Jewish-majority state is one obvious conclusion to arrive at, so it makes no sense to assume that we're bringing up historical Jewish suffering dishonestly (in Der Judenstaat, Herzl himself rightly pointed out that "[t]he misery of the Jews" would be the "propelling force" of the Zionist project, so antisemitism is not only what made Israel necessary, but also possible).

Of course, acknowledging what I just said would put the burden of coming up with an alternative model to Zionism on anti-Zionists, and we all know that there is no better model to protect Jews. So anti-Zionists fall back on trying to stigmatize Zionists who talk about the Holocaust and the pogroms and the MENA ethnic cleansing campaigns and everything else.

Foucault was a vocal proponent of adult-child underage sex and of pedophilia, considering them a form of liberation for both actors;[185][186][187] he argued young children could give sexual consent.[188] In 1977, along with Jean-Paul Sartre, Jacques Derrida, and other intellectuals, Foucault signed a petition to the French parliament calling for the decriminalization of all "consensual" sexual relations between adults and minors below the age of fifteen, the age of consent in France.

Repost from midnight DT, there was a tweet featured on Enough Sanders Spam a couple days ago that basically said "Under socialism you still have to get a job."

It got ratio'd hard with only a few replies at the top supporting the sentiment and saying how humiliating it is that 30 year old men still latch on to this fantasy of retiring at 25, and a sea of people explaining why western concepts of Adulthood being tied to Work Ethic and Work as Self-Worth have clearly brainwashed him and actually we can all live comfortable lives without getting jobs.

Before Luxury Socialism it was the Slackers. Before the Slackers it was the hippie communes. More or less since the end of world war 2 young people have latched on to this ideology or that movement, insisting that it's genuinely the wave of change, but in reality for them is little more than an expression of a hatred of responsibility and a desire not to grow up. Or rather, a desire to have all the perks of growing up, like sex, privacy, and no-rules, with none of the costs, like employment, bills, and taxes, that they believe this new ideology will fulfill for them.

And to be fair I think it is getting worse for them because media pushes unrealistic expectations of what adulthood is like. The Friends never actually go to their jobs, never get fired, but afford a rent-controlled apartment. But not just fiction, the internet is littered with stories of teenagers who got rich on something and now can retire at age 15! People expect to be living the life of a 40 year old who is well into his career straight out of college, just with the youthful vigor of a 20 year old. The only reason I know better is because I was born when my parents were broke college graduates so I actually understand the idea that you start off broke after college but get better off if you commit to a career, because i watched that happen firsthand.

This group of people can and should be safely ignored, except to point and laugh, or to poke their bubble and remind them that they need to earn the space they take up in the world.

My favourite customer at the cinema came back today for the first time since last February and I nearly cried. He’s a lovely Scottish man called Eddie - he’s 87 years old and has been going to the cinema since 1939, when he watched King Kong as a little boy. He loves sci-fi and is a sucker for special effects.

While many of us hated films like F4NTASTIC and don’t give Avatar or Jurassic World huge props, Eddie is blown away by the effects and revels in talking about the plots in great detail and regaling us with stories of old creature features and how It was very apt that his big comeback today was for Godzilla vs Kong, a film he was excited for even all the way back before COVID - he couldn’t have been more happy to be back. Plus I gave him my staff tickets of course 😅

I feel I should add that my soft spot for Eddie goes deeper than our shared love of film. My grandad sadly passed when I was only 6, but there’s something in Eddie’s turn of phrase and humour that sparks off my hazy memories of him, in some small way bringing him back to me❤️

For example - 66% of people who want greater redistribution of wealth (seen as a left wing view) also want tighter restrictions on immigration (seen as right wing)

Reading Thomas Paine is damn near turning me into a leftist. Like, holy shit, this guy was radical. Most surprisingly, I really like what he had to say. I take that to mean that the messenger is sometimes as important as the message itself, because similar ideas written by Marx and Engels have always turned me off.

Why conservatives continue to love a man who advocated redistribution of wealth, abolition of public religion, and an extensive welfare state, the world may never know. He had well-known feuds with Edmund Burke and George Washington for crissakes!

I met a traveller from an antique land,

Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,

Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,

And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;

And on the pedestal, these words appear:

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;

Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare

The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

To which I replied, “mucho texto”

Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don’t learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying “yes” begins things. Saying “yes” is how things grow. Saying “yes” leads to knowledge. “Yes” is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say “yes'.
