To add for others, electrons orbiting is a convenient assumption - really they’re more a delocalised cloud of negative charge that exists in various bits of space known as “orbitals”.

Not orbiting in the way we’d understand it from planets.

Capitalists have capital, which they invest in legislative capture to create a more favourable environment for capital.

It’s capitalism unrestricted, since there is no restriction on what capital can do once enough has been accumulated.

While I indeed doubt that the Romans knew of WuWei, they and Imperial China were aware of each other.

The Han Dynasty even tried to establish a direct embassy and sent an expedition that goto around modern day Jordan-Syria-Turkey before giving up and going home.

I don’t know if it’s true, but I think I heard that in terms of transitions in the last decade, FtM outnumbers MtF.

Absolutely should.

But the EU would like to continue to benefit from US military power and espionage while getting to pretend it is more moral. If the EU were to more overtly break with the US it would have to dramatically reformulate its neo-colonial economics.

Yes, they should.

Trumo’s threat to impose new, higher, tariffs on EU for starting to legislate against US tech monopolies and support local startups show how it would go.

But better to put it forwards under the chicken taco and make headway, and then future US leaders (if any) would have to make open moves against environmental measures.

Seeing as China takes ethnic and genetic registration pretty seriously, no?

Wow, any particular reason you have such a raging hate honer?

About 20.

More if you include oral, manual, and the like.

If you’re living in one of those very conservative on women’s dress Islamic nations (i.e. Middle East or Central Asia) then there are cultural limits imposed beyond the baseline of the religion.

A Senegalese Muslim woman in colourful patterned headscarf and matching dress is following what Islam requires.
Some places have kept, or imposed, much stricter controls on women’s dress (amongst other things). And while they might choose to wear more colourful ones, many of these countries (i.e. Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Bahrain, through to Pakistan and Afghanistan) turn a blind eye to femicide and are plagued by honour killings.

Socially constructed idea varies by society.

Who’d’ve guessed?

You’ll find very colourfully yet modestly dressed Muslim women in Indonesia, India, Kenya, Senegal, and more.

Do you plan to only do things with romantic partner?

Why do you think you need a romantic partner?

… A better question would be: “what do you define as a friend?”

I usually download Eurovision, as the politics isn’t new… Just more apparent.

Maybe find a Eurovision community and ask about alternate viewing methods? I’m sure there are other ways to watch live, which if you’ve got a gathering is the way to do it.

Aye, only Protestantist Christianity (if it can be called that) and mormonism are worse.

The True Church of our Lord Father is Ethiopian Orthodoxy.

There’s a surface level understanding that racism is bad.

But that’s seen as having no impact on holding strong, negative, stereotypes about other ethnicities and cultures.

And tends to be, in many cases followed up with “it’s not a prejudice/racism, it’s a fact!” =(

Sadly there’s a lot of anti-African, anti-South East Asian, anti-Japanese & Korean, anti-Turkic, antisemitic, sentiment floating around in general in the PRC.

White man who lived in China here chiming in.

The racism, or at least prejudices and a lack of understanding that cause racism, are very real.

Asia benefited from being near the top of the racist hierarchy of lies that Europeans instituted in the 19th century and also mostly learn about Black people from Hollywood films. (There’s also a really odd trend of New Right and crypto-fash talking points getting popular and spread around Chinese social media.)

In China at least, dating is seen as valid only in the path to marriage, and family and kids is an expected and socially impressed upon goal. To the point where plenty of women in China have kids they don’t want because of familial and social pressure.

At the same time, Asian society is very colourist which combined with having ingested the racist hierarchy somewhat and only really knowing Black people and culture from Hollywood isn’t a great start.

Rounding it off, I China at least is a desire for in group marriage. Foreigners are seen as a risky choice, who could leave and don’t share the same cultural values (regardless of the truth of it).

White people get more of a benefit of a doubt, but there’s still pressure against a Chinese-White relationship. I’ve heard of plenty of families putting pressure that ens inter-ethnic relationships, and there is definitely more pressure against Chinese-Black relationships. (Both cases also, sexistly, exacerbated when Chinese women, foreign man.)

Don’t think this is anything new or not know, sadly.

If the family is supportive, things work a lot better - unsurprisingly. But with Asian value of family, if the family are openly against it, it’s very unlikely to work out.

Or maybe since he was an early written source for low culture, he is just the first attested source because we didn’t print out what plebs were talking about prior to that?

I thought it was a common first name because of all the fooling around in the Cyberdog dressing rooms?

No, the age of America is over.

The Trump preaidencies aren’t a radical break from the past, he’s just an unveiling of it’s darkest, ugliest, impulses and the logical conclusion of its ideals.

Maybe European mainstream leaders can convince themselves to get back into bed with US imperialism, as we benefit from it so much, but US in the eyes of the people never recovered post Iraq II, and across the whole world the US is now primarily seen as the demagogic bully that it is.

The US must learn to get along with its neighbours and treat other nations and people with respect.

Suicide only stopped being a crime in many parts of the world recently… Euthanasia is much larger step beyond that.

Let’s give things time.

I always figured it was due to vulgar culture not usually leaving written records prior to that.

So we get 37 plays written as popular culture, it makes sense that we get a lot of newly attested words used in the popular culture of the day.
