Something Funny

@Princess Arabia I don't mind you seeing the bigger picture as long as it is relevant. But it isn't. First of all, guns are a bad example. Secondly, regulating guns is a good thing. I don't know why you can't see that.

@Princess Arabia but once again, it must have been very convenient for you to not answer any of my actual point and start talking about guns

You have not addressed any of my actual point and kept talking about guns instead. I guess you are just not interested at considering another point of view... But since you want to talk about guns so much, lets talk about guns? Why is it that in countries where gun laws are much stricter than in the US there are much less gun crimes? Even in less developed countries, like Russia for example? Why does a shithole like Russia has maybe one school shooting in a couple years while the US they happen basically every week? Are you going to say that the fact that any idiot can buy an assault rifle in America has nothing to do with it? Once again, I am not even comparing America to some fancy European country like Switzerland. Russia? America can't do better than Russia? I wonder why. Maybe because in Russia it takes more effort to get a pistol with rubber bullets or a hunting rifle with two shots, than it does in America to buy an RPG...

Are you intentionally trying to simplify my argument by making it so literal? Obviously I didn't just mean the location. I meant environment as a holistic term. Knowing that you won't be beaten up contributes to a less damaging work environment. Knowing that you won't be drugged contributes to a less damaging work environment. Knowing that you can refuse services if you do not like the person contributes to a less damaging work environment. Having a contract which specifically state what services you provide, and what compensation you get contributes to a less damaging social environment. Having access to social welfare contributes to a less damaging work environment. Like you could literally pass a law saying that if you are a brother employing sex workers, then you are obliged to provide them with weekly psychotherapy sessions. Are you going to say that none of those have a potential to improve person's well being? Work in general can cause a lot of stress, lead to hopelessness, depression, suicide. And that can be true of a regular office job, let a lone prostitution. So of course regulating it can help a lot. Not that it is relevant to our discussion since once again, being a gun is not a profession, but yes it does. Not if it is done properly.

Yeah, but it is not a focus of this thread, is it? Sure, not all prostitutes are psychologically damaged because of their work. But some for sure are. So why not make their work conditions less harmful and toxic? This is a statement that literally says nothing. Regulating how? Regulating where? Why guns in the first place, why not taxi drivers or something? Gun is not even a profession, it's an object.

Why? It's like saying: "don't put too much effort into healing sick people, look how many healthy people there are", "don't try to help poor people, a lot of people are making a decent living", "don't try to address family abuse, there are enough of normal families out there". It makes sense to me that regulating the field more would help to prevent the worst possible scenarios.

@Seed I see, you sound fine. I don't think you will have any issue with having a second child if that's what you want.

@Seed why do you even want a second child? You say that you don't have a deep yearning to have a kind, and that you feel complete with just the family of three, but then you are afraid that you might regret not having a child later on. In my opinion, you shouldn't have kids unless you really want to have kids and are 100% sure of it. I don't think you should pre-emptively have a child out of a fear that you might possibly regret not having it in the future. You also say that in 10 years your daughter will leave the nest and you will be alone, and will have no one to care for. That is also a bad motivation in my opinion. And by the way, what will change if you have another kid now? You will just delay the same thing for 10 years, but eventually you will still end up "with an empty nest". Only you will be even older by that time. What are you going to do then, cry for your kids to make grandchildren for you? This kind of unhealthy attachment really irks me. Kids are not there to help you escape from feeling lonely and empty.

@Seed I don't think that anything of what you have listed will seriously get in a way of having a second child. The only thing I don't like is your motivation for having a second child. If my partner had that kind of mindset towards having a kid, I wouldn't want to have a kid with them.

You don't know that. You know nothing about her daughter or about her family. You are clearly biased and don't care about whether it will actually work or not.

Says a guy who can't stop cheating on his gf with camgirls, lol.

@rnd and what if I am an alien?

@rnd I bet you haven't even spoken to a single person from Russia in your life, lol.

@rnd lol, says who? A dude who has even less clue than me? Like I said, go live in Russia and prove me wrong. You are literally detached from reality if you compare censorship, human right abuses, and justice system in Russia, to whatever happens in the EU.

@rnd I don't need to live there to make that claim as it should be perfectly clear to anyone with a functioning brain. Besides, I am from Ukraine originally, which might be better, but ultimately isn't that much different from Russia when it comes to corruption and human rights. Plus I've been immersed into the Russian culture and internal politics since my childhood so I know how things look there. But like I've said, you are welcome to go live there yourself and disprove my claims.

@rnd if you don't like the way Europe works, you are welcome to go and live in Pakistan or Russia. I am sure you will find it much more just and less corrupt.

I've always thought that tofu has a lot of protein in it. However, I've just bought it and it's just 13 grams, which is similar to what you have in regular grains. There are also: 7.5 gramms of fat 1.8 gramms of carbs 1 gramm of fiber 1 gramm of salt And 0.2 gramms of calcium Which gives us 24.5 gramms in total, out of 100. Where did the rest 75 gramms go? Why are they not accounted for?

@Michael569

@Bandman respect, please

@undeather really? Okay, that's funny )

I've noticed that after I eat oatmeal I start to feel kind of agitated/irritated/panicky. And also get a very dry feeling in my mouth which stays for a few hours no matter how much water I drink. Does anyone know why this might be happening? I usually cook my oatmeal with just water.

@ToaTokuchi did you watch all of his videos?
