Okay, up until this I was willing to believe all the nonsense you’ve come up with might in fact be what a real person alive today might realistically think but now you’re reaching.

Ah, if you INSULT a police officer, that’s what’s punishable. That’s actively antagonising them, not just not liking them.

Mind you, I don’t think insulting a police officer should hold any more severe punishment than insulting anyone else. So yeah, that’s bullshit.

I’m in Germany, there’s a common myth that “Beamtenbeleidigung”, insulting an official, is a criminal offence. It’s not - if you insult anyone, regardless of their job, they can sue. Police are just more likely to actually go through with that because they have a reputation to uphold.

I haven’t seen that type of response, at least not at any significant frequency, but let me speculate wildly while accepting your premise for the moment.

People in general are less mentally resilient than they were 6-10 years ago, what with The Everything And All That In The Everywhere At All Times. That might manifest in less patience and less willingness to indulge beginners. So I don’t think it’s a conscious thing meant to gatekeep anything, people just don’t have the capacities to explain things again and again in detail (especially when they think the answer is easily found using the search engine of your choice) and are more easily exasperated if things don’t go smoothly.

Again, this is all assuming your premise.

Yeeeah, flaunt that pretty huge dick.

I can read at most a few characters here and there on that page so that doesn’t help ^^; What exactly is illegal in Taiwan regarding the police? They can’t read your thoughts so how would they decide whether you have contempt for the police unless you actively antagonise them?

1 - huh?

2 - huh?

3 - wild. What’s that like, thinking that the only reason to marry is to fuck? Is your professor okay?

4 - where are you that it’s not? Afaik, in most places considered “developed” you can dislike police as much as you please. There may be consequences if you resist their actions but that’s a different issue.

5 - I don’t know if I agree that it’s “market” (because if your neighbour has chickens and you have a cow and you trade your milk for their eggs that’s a market) but the complexity of modern production and global trade. There’s just no way anyone can really understand all the processes so there is necessarily a level of abstraction that alienates you from what is happening at the other end.

6 - duh.

7 - sure lol

What happens when I learn about Brazil?

Which is why I said “in most cases”.

Reminder that daily showers are an American thing and in most cases are unnecessary at best, harmful to your skin at worst

Sink, btw.

His only possible thinkable motivation for revenge is when a thing to put a dick in is murdered. That is a kind of “caring”.

Because OP is VERY well known round these parts and posts variations of this and 5 other posts every day, hoping that someday someone will say “Yes! Grimreaper, you are SO right in EVERYTHING you say and anyone who says you’re wrong, who even dares to want to discuss things with you, is WRONG and doesn’t know what they’re talking about and should honestly just shut the fuck up because HOW DARE THEY.” Check the history.

Southwestern Germany, yep :) We called it Hexennacht, Witches’ Night, which is of course the same as Walpurgisnacht. The necktie cutting as I know it is a Karneval thing, specifically the Thursday before Karneval, called Weiberfasnacht (“Wives’/women’s carnival”). Though I wouldn’t be surprised if there were heathens somewhere cutting neckties on some other day ;D

Your two scenarios really don’t have a lot in common. In one of them, the phone doesn’t do what the maker promised which of course annoys people. In the other, people can make active, conscious choices which people like. The part where images are changed is incidental.

I hear they like liquor confectionery.

Where I’m from we just did the “trick” part. Ran around in dark clothing on 30th April* in the late evening, fairly distributing toilet paper if we were unimaginative, and painting cows violet if we were more creative. General mischief, is what I’m saying, none of that bargaining for sweets, your house is going to be TP’ed and you’ll like it because the alternative might be actual property damage.

* I… think that was the date. It’s been a while and I don’t live there anymore.

Oh, did you already run out of the comments you got the last 30 times you posted this? You have to pace yourself, y’know?

Doctor Who

Consider that “being mad” is an expression of much more complex feelings, like surprise and not knowing how to react, disappointment at not being told earlier and questioning why that is (“am I not a good enough friend to them, what did I do to make them not trust me?”), suddenly having to worry about this person doing this dangerous thing, realising that they didn’t know a huge thing about the person they thought they knew etc. The fact that you seem to think they’re just making it about them (“get over yourself”) is yet another concerning aspect of the posts you made in recent weeks.

“One is one thing and one is a different thing” is your rebuttal? Nice.

Do you prefer natural insulation against the cold over clothes?
