remember

yes and if you were actually going completely meta, you could ask: what is a president? there are still grades of absolutism, if you still dare you can ask that question openly.

that depends on where you live - for some people, tomorrow might be thuesday or thursday - the context of the absolute is also variating, might be for some people tomorrow is tomorrow, see what you thought is the absolute might be actually relative and what you thought is relative might be the absolute.

change is relative that’s why the construct of time is relative. the absolute is the absolute because it is the absolute.

reality is permanently changing. time does not exist, only change exists - if you move away from earth reality as a whole changes tremendously. if there were no constants there were no you, or maybe that’s the point, there is no constant that’s why you are . . .

then why do you recommend it? there are guys who love girls who are more on the round side, and there are actually girls who have self esteem in their body weight, with curves. what is overweight? and where might it be lacking? you just fell into the trapp of reverse female shaming. stop doing that - you probably do that to yourself aswell. or lindsay is not a female name. you could equally ask him to find someone with bulemia, because these girls also have a really bad self esteem, they are just not very open minded getting approached.

@Anderz change does also not explain the error of „time“ or you could also say „time“ does not explain the error of change.

brum brum < that’s a car!

yes, go on believing. believing is not understanding - those who want to stay ignorant stay ignorant. time is the cop out for what is unexplainable, it is the measuring stick for how fast energy can move or decay. your perception of it is the relativity of speed to your awareness. but speed is not time, it is movement.

no. this is actually just an explanatory construct to make a sense of time understandable, but you fail to see that time does not exist. there is a huge difference in making the experience and illusion of time graspable but it does not point towards the underlying phenomenon. there is actually only the now and the now is forever.

slowly giving up partnership with europe, and by the way has a trade war going with china... stops paying into international projects like WHO because its supposedly corrupted and making therefore space for more corruption? this? - the list is endless if you work yourself through the effects of his politics. its actually not even for your own benefits except that it really helps with scapegoating trump for everything even for putin’s politics.

@SageModeAustin it makes some sense though if your tap water quality is really bad and you need to cook and clean your foods with that water, so i guess health is always to consider first, it does not make sense to drive with a car to a water refill station constantly if you have to cook and wash veggies with contaminated water. it would make more sense to find solutions for that on a communal ground in sense of filtering the water better where it comes from and exchanging the pipes. as long as this does not work it makes some sense to install one at your home and get the filters exchanged regularly.

@Cocolove probably some food clay - or maybe some baked clay pebbles? clay is in most cases used to bind more toxins. zeolite maybe. if it‘s about filtering more you could also put some leaves of cilantro which you then don’t eat. cilantro is supposed to have some kind of filtering ability for water but also detoxfying ability if you eat it - maybe that’s the reason why some people don’t like its saponin taste. in a carafe of glass it even looks nice and fresh, but then don’t put too much salt. one part about the filtering is to exchange the filters often enough, can be a problem with bacterial growth if changed not regularly. what i don’t like about that is the waste and recycling problematic. they don’t refill the cartouche but exchange the whole thing. i‘m just reading bea johnson’s zero waste book - took me long enough since @Zweistein recommended that ages ago. was not ready for it then, it’s really recommendable (she says herself it can always only be an optimization process, but by trying to approach zero you get huge insights about what could yet be improved - which is better than just to reduce. possibilities to improve never stop) maybe this community refill thing therefore is a better option, they maybe have a different system.

@LfcCharlie4 read through the thread and guess i‘ll give it a try. my juicer has not been used much since i started vegan diet because of rheumathoid arthritis - that actually where i also want to put in a word for eggs in sense of inflammation. its not true. eggs don’t have much effect on inflammations in the body, whereas dairy and meat has. i‘m not really sure about bacteria and such though. if any vegan wants to sin from time to time, because protein sourcing is difficult, an egg from an organic happy chicken farm where chicken really can play and run around and get to hatch one of their eggs from time to time is probably the lessest evil in the whole farming industry. so i’m doubting the source in at least that point. although chicken factory farming is one of the more disgusting things in sense of „bacteria farming“ . wasn’t sars1 because of chicken farming? because somehow bacteria and viruses love chicken as hosts if they are not able to sandbath and or eat some green grass or even peal from veggies - just imagine what they get fed with, and you don’t want to eat eggs from a factory farm anymore. and then imagine how fast a virus spreads in a chicken farm where they don’t even have twenty centimeter distance from each other.

government is blue-orange-green as we have multiple party democracy, conservatives are sometimes also a bit green because they also see the progress aspect and are blue in the health sector and understand a bit what the middle class wants. in a lot of aspects we have conservative regionalism which can still be love without being nationalistic about it. smaller countries in europe like the netherlands have been earlier on wind energy for example - germany had a subventionating politic towards green energy for a while which pushed developments in that direction. yes mh german, too. but i see myself more as european.

this is actually a bit like the sexual expectations men have towards women. i guess both genders falling into that trap expecting the other person to fulfill some of their needs, for men that oftentimes starts with a sexual fulfillment. even though if you look deeper into it, it really often is love and attention. not all of course, the more tight they are into subject object relationship orange hedonism is game. i always had a perspective of learning of each other in my relationships it’s really that i cannot fall in love without a social component, if it’s just about the physical stuff i don’t bind, it’s not a magnet. i guess a lot of women are interested in guys who try to work on their physical attractiveness because they do the same, guys who look much better than us are sometimes even a problem. if you learn to have a good time with another person additionally that’s pure magnetism, and you cannot even loose out on that because even if it does not lead anywhere, you still had a good time. guys who collect one night stands don’t get, that most women they get laid are actually getting them laid, and these women probably have some standard. the rest is searching for personal attraction plus social match, what sometimes means diametral shadow components. i’m actually backing this - growth sometimes does not mean to grow the way a guy wants or thinks would be the way, but if growth is seen as a positive aspect and learning seen as gaining, maybe not what someone wanted to gain but what develops naturally, then why should it be a problem to adapt to some of the expectations of the other gender?

@Kailash Bhattarai no the problem is, most germans are orange/blue they like the status quo and they love their piggy bank -which is why they never will be fully orange or impersonate the orange red of the us american culture the same way - they have a problem with excessive hedonism. and the main problem is actually mainly an east west problem. denazification did not happen that much in the east and they also had a one party democracy over years, were systemically spied on and after the wall went down most smart young people went to the west - and now some of the people who maybe even spied on their neighbors even have to coap with people from other countries being welcomed and getting supported. its not as rosy as they wished for an therefore: nationalism. but a lot of people from the west don’t want that while some conservatives and nazis waited for the chance - it’s utterly stupid they don’t see the global problematic and are scared away by socialistic ideas because they lived in a social dictatorship. so actually germans invented gas chambers and spying out their people, but the walls were a french, russian, british, us american invention. (and please people, just because an invention is out and seems like a solution, you don’t have to use it, might be there are far better technologies).

yes we once were the empire of cows but maybe now that’s argentina. wild vegan hoards are slowly changing... not much - still no oat milk in the trains and still difficult at the countryside. they actually do that in the whole alp region, which means switzerland, austria, italy and germany. because you like it so much i have a bit of porn for you:

@Robi Steel if a democracy was no democracy but called democracy, would you still call it democracy? the definition of what anything is, is not measured by what it claims to be but if it is comparable to what it claims to be. you can’t call it shoe if it is wearable on the head - i mean you can but it would not actually be a shoe. although if you would call it shoe and wear it like a shoe it would make you look funny. that’s a phenomenon.

national darwinism - giving it a new name does not change its essence. if you want a patent on a new political perspective it must be technically different in sense of new invention, an old donkey is still a donkey even if you call it horse.

he said in his starting post he is german but votes in the usa - it confuses me, that’s all, i am in general not against people having two identities but sometimes people get into a conflict of interest not knowing where they belong, it’s kind of like a child of split parents, he is pointing to identity and i was asking these questions to understand how this forms his political standpoint despite he is saying he has none.

@Robi Steel your country germany but you vote in the usa? interesting standpoint. are you then actually also voting in germany or is that a conflict and are you voting for trump to get better politics in germany or in the usa? and are you actually german or american? don’t you think europe is already americanized enough or do you think because we are so islamized we cannot think straight anymore and forget what a huge positive effect fascism had on europe? do you think if i would deny maybe being a human, i could make you believe i‘m some kind of alien on this planet full of ******* fill in whatever you think would fit the majority in terms of consciousness.

@Leo Gura well, if content counts more than structure in that case, you could cut in some more minutes - even if that might break your rules of not editing. i’m not sure if that’s the case, but it seems like you have a rule of not editing content except for maybe some visual aspects. i don’t care about that most of the time, blurting out what comes to mind and then editing a bit when i think it’s not clear enough. does not mean i’m a good example to make my point all the time - just means regardless of context or structure it’s more important sometimes to get the picture than to stick to the rules. in some sense liberty does not equal liberty. does editing or correcting myself give me more freedom or less freedom? is a good question. or maybe you need a second part to that. sth like “liberty vs freedom all differences explained”.

there is also a series called house of assad produced by the bbc, it comes in three parts. ofc cultural/political red often takes place in a purple-red background, it’s not just about direct aggression, it’s oftentimes the hierarchical structure and coaping mechanism, the way of escalating situations. people who inherit dynasties find themselves in a red power position from one day to the next, it’s not said that a bank ceo can’t be red or have red tendencies, a bank ceo could also be someone in blue, there are personality traits in the sense of introverted and behavioral traits in the sense of extroverted, which depend on the stage a person is interacting with. ofc a typical stage red person blossoms the most in a stage red empire, so they usually tend to create a surrounding that serves these needs, classically securing stage red structures for their successors/family/tribe as well - if their successors want that or not they then also tend to develop red behavior. this is a pretty good summary of the mini series - although the comment about the syrian kurds is a ventriloquism of what erdogan says all the time - like i would say all turks are isis its a little too much to say all kurds are pkk, or erdogan said all germans are nazis (including the turkish-german population) this is just another discrimination and scapegoating game where people get confused between democratic movements and authoritarian developments.

stage psychopath is probably closest to stage red... although...that’s in a sense super cliche and the toxic malfunction of what red can be in a less excessive form. the notion that red and orange sometimes seem the same is not so far fetched as orange usually has tendencies in at least one of the other spiral colours. a choleric boss def has red tendencies, a narcissistic supermodel type orange pua probably, too. although people in green often try to deny their orange or even red tendencies and therefore have difficulties to discern between red and orange.
