  • I work in statistics and we never use girl of woman, only female. The line is vastly different in age and meaning depending on culture, religion, law, or heritage. Even in western societ, 13, 16, 18, and 21 are all valid before tipping to 40, 50, 60, 65, 68, and 70 where the term can be prefixed with some form of adjective.

    It’s old-fashioned. Just say female and every culture/society understands you without confusion or insult. Save you embarassing/insulting people while travelling too.



  • Americans are indoctrinated by their media and society to be segregated into political and social camps that have tribal wars with each other. That’s all priority no. 1 for them rn and it spills over.

    It’s just people bickering about social and political issues like gender, misinterpretation of isms, social hierarchy, etc. But because Americans don’t do anything but compete amongst each other, they bring their problems here where it echoes out into nothingness and disintegrates. But so long as they feel they were heard or had an online “win”, they get a dopamine hit and sense of progress, entirely ignorant to their apathy.

    This can feel, at times, the place that attracts the biggest losers. Like all the troll characters out of South Park’s Skank Hunt saga. But there is also a huge amount of insecurity and desire to be spotlighted. What society thinks of a person is also always a really important thing they’ll post about—just is, they really, really care for some reason.

    Moosh that all together and you got a bunch of apathetic, socially anxious, and insecure people that lack social tact and empathy, hidden on keyboards, watching their world fall apart but hoping someone besides them will help it.







  • I’m no militant pro, but you’re not really leaving yourself many options seizing a train. Something that has no escape options but forward and backward on track switches you don’t control, and it’s very easily encircled.

    But wait, there’s more…

    A senior police official said it “remains stuck just before a tunnel surrounded by mountains”

    Yep, I’d be very scared to be a hostage as it’s quite clear my life is about the only option of escape they got.


  • Well it has to. The meeting was basically watching a long-term ally say they’d turn their back on any of its friends any chance they can get. If all the US can bring to the friend group is gym bro muscles but turns out is actually a petty coward, still asking for minerals, they won’t get invited to the cool stuff anymore.

    Someone in DC still understands the content of Alliances 101 and has explained it.






  • I travel a lot and it’s usually huge distances on the road, often followed by long distances on foot. Constantly in the zone, eating up kilometres, taking up the entire daylight and sometimes longer.

    My favourite part is the end when I sit and open a beer.

    “Good job, brain. Fantastic work, body. You can both switch off now, we’re giving ourselves a delicious pat on the back, or four.”
