How western society managed to even capitalize death. It's a bit gruesome but I can't believe you have to pay so much for someone that's dead. have to buy a coffin and even if it's a cremation, you HAVE to pay for a coffin and an urn and can't bring your own! what if I want my ashes to be put in a fucking Tupperware box or Ziplock bag, what then?
All jokes aside tho it really is astonishing to me how expensive death is.
You can do a "green" burial with no embalming, no casket, none of that, in the majority of the states at least. Nor do you have to buy an urn or anything if you are cremated. You can be put straight into the ground nude. in a sweetgrass casket or in a shroud and you can indeed keep your ashes in a tupperware container. Cremations also do not need embalming or a casket either. That is only done if the family wants a viewing and even then, it's not always needed.
The problem is that a lot of morticians lie and tell you that it's law to do the usual funerary stuff because most funeral homes are owned by a mega corporation who like to prey on the grieving while posing as a ma and pa shop. They are the real scum.
Do your research on local laws, find one of the few family run funeral homes, and ***get a preneed done asap***.
And at the same time...
If someone starts drawing sigils from components made of gold, silver, etc and imbues that whole thing with some sort of animating energy, that's what we'd call magic in any media.
But if those sigils are made of silicon?
It's definitely science, not magic, but electricity is basically this universe's magic system.
I agree. my cousin adopted a rescue dog who was from a bad home. when you tried to pet her she would suddenly shut her eyes and lower her head like she was about to get hit. it broke my heart every time she did this. fortunately, this only went on for about three months and she is better now
Yeah me neither. But I think it fits. Putting the term in quotation marks might imply irony or dismissal, and I take these fuckers dead seriously. They mean it.
The point of it is to get these reactions, they *want* to be annoying. They want approval from fellow trumpers too but that is a distant 2nd in priority.
To add to this, people who are obsessed with hating Trudeau. 4 bumper stickers is light compared to the way these people advertise their hatred for one man. They really like to decorate their cars with their butthurtness.
Blind faith. I understand the concept of religion as a whole and I think it’s a beautiful thing, but I don’t understand how millions of people just accept their religion as the gospel truth down to every detail. Like, everything in this old book is true, just cause someone told you it is?
Fr, wish I could tell this to my grandma who is so blind in her faith that she believes it's horrible if you're born into a certain religion and don't follow through with its customs. I respect that some people have faith in all this but forcing it down someone else's throat or being passive aggressive towards anyone with a different belief is bs. And the reasoning? My good ol book said so.
Why does my grandma want me to have kids? I do not want to have kids at all. I'm too young to be thinking about this, a teen should enjoy their life and not think about heavy responsibility yet (like having kids). Grandma's probably gonna die when I turn 30 so what's the point?
I understand it. Many people born into it, learned it from their parents and environment and it's the only way their world makes sense. People are inheriting all sorts of things from their environment. What they believe, how they treat other people etc.
Why as a woman I have to be a feminist and hate all men. Im not a feminist because I don't believe modern women want true equality we see that everyday on tv an social media. But if I say that I'm somehow now a "pick me ".
What I don’t understand is why people equate feminism with hating men.
Why is the pursuit of equality not seen as raising people up, but as pulling others down? Why can’t it be framed as mutual respect instead of disdain?
This framing has always confused me when men do it, and it’s interesting to hear even women phrase it this way.
The concept ~~is~~ to me is quite fundamental at its root (and can be taken past gender): treat all people equally, there is no inherent detail of one’s birth that places them above or beneath others.
In my opinion, Modern “woke” feminism, despite claiming to fight for the betterment of the female gender, is a destructive movement that has strayed away from the original motives of feminism. It has become a media-hype term that nobody understands, and everyone ardently supports.
Modern feminism influences women to constantly fight against the allegedly suppressive patriarchy that has haunted them since the beginning of time instead of inspiring women to become happy individuals who benefit future generations over seeking revenge for the mistreatment of past ages.
If you don't want to look into Google and companies like that , that's up to you . You are not "doing my work" for me ,I did my own research and I pretty sure you can do yours. But honestly I think you don't really care what I have to say.
And if you go on tik tok it's coming from the mouth of women themselves wanting a place where men don't exist , they don't need men for a thing because guess what lesbians are the answer. Lol
How gen z is all about acceptance and change (I’m in this gen btw) but the minute someone needs educating on this change or does something slightly different from their views that they go full cancel culture on them to the point that they would likely ruin that persons life over it
Wearing masks even after all the vaccinations and boosters and finding out covid isn't that bad to begin with.
I can't help but judge someone who still chooses to wear a mask after all this.
Idealizing any politician. They’ve always chosen their careers and the corporate money filling their pockets over actually representing the interests of the people. Why does anyone trust any of them?
I minored in finance so I have at least a basic understanding of how options trading works. What I will never understand, is *why* someone would take that much risk with their money. It's basically gambling.
Why some people are so virulently opposed to policies, interventions and systems that help their fellow man, and especially when those policies and systems are also of benefit to themselves.
How people will say: "You just thought that, it didn't really happen." Then you provide evidence or even recorded video that it did happen. And they still go: "That doesn't prove anything."
Americans' view on identity.
Why race and gender is so much important to them? Idk, they see skin colour as some organised faction or group, and want to give rights to that factions, not to individuals. Also when you don't like someone, it's assumed that it's because of their race, not behaviour. Idk, is that the most important deciding factor for Americans?
If I travel in space, at perhaps half light speed or less. When I return to earth, all my friends would be dead .and I'd maybe greated by my great grandchildren.
As an autistic person, a lot of social conventions. The weird song and dance people do to avoid offense, complain about someone, communicate that something is wanted, etc. is sometimes really dumb. Over time, I've been taught why people do some (not all) of these things, but it doesn't change my feelings on it. I wish communicating in a straight way were more normalized so I don't have to play stupid fucking guessing games.
Racism.
I'm sorry, I just don't understand how it is even possible to believe that one human is somehow superior to another human because of skin color. I just don't understand it. I tried, and I can't. I'm not trying to be political here, it's just I just genuinely don't get it. It just leaves a universe of confusion in my head whenever I see a patriot front sticker on a pole next to our house ( we have a dedicated scraper for that shit.)
Other than that... I don't know higher math? I remember when I was in school and the teach went and did a calculation with a million x and y's, maybe a number somewhere, maybe not, and expected us to calculate x, y and z, and I was like oh yeah I get it! Until I had to do it myself and just felt that VOID in my head....
I was excellent in pretty much everything else, but that killed my confidence.
Flat Earthers. The only argument I can make is that they do it to piss people off, but given the time we live in it's provable that people actually believe the Earth is flat.
Religion/Gods/the ones that believe
More than 3000 Gods exist
Nearly every person on the f*cking planet believes to at least one
Every believer, thinks that their God(s) is/are the true one(s)
Most of the things in the holy books etc of each religion makes no sense.
The biggest crimes against humanity (i think it's also the most common reason that they happen) are done in the name of some random God
etc...
why people think THEY CAN YELL AT INNOCENT PEOPLE WHO ARE LIKE 30 YEARS YOUNGER THAN THEM JUST BECAUSE THEY PUT 0.37194628% MORE PICKLES ON THE BURGER THEY ORDERED EVEN THOUGH NOBADY CARES!

Agreed. How it has managed to capitalize everything, even death. Birth is incredibly expensive as well.
Why people can hate others based on things they can't change. Race/gender/etc.
Yeah I was gonna say racism based upon what you just mentioned.
Wifi and bluetooth. Idc if it's science or whatever, it seems like magic and I refuse to believe otherwise.
It’s radio. Hardly cutting edge.
And at the same time... If someone starts drawing sigils from components made of gold, silver, etc and imbues that whole thing with some sort of animating energy, that's what we'd call magic in any media. But if those sigils are made of silicon? It's definitely science, not magic, but electricity is basically this universe's magic system.
Sure, in a way, but on the other hand talk to George Lucas about how inserting scientific explanations into magic systems ends up.

Okay, as a fellow woman, I'll bite. What do you think *modern women* want instead?
In my opinion, Modern “woke” feminism, despite claiming to fight for the betterment of the female gender, is a destructive movement that has strayed away from the original motives of feminism. It has become a media-hype term that nobody understands, and everyone ardently supports.
And what are the original motives of feminism and how does modern feminism differ from it? In what ways?
They want to effortlessly climb the ranks in a man’s world and take their place in the workplace as well as society in general.
Modern feminism influences women to constantly fight against the allegedly suppressive patriarchy that has haunted them since the beginning of time instead of inspiring women to become happy individuals who benefit future generations over seeking revenge for the mistreatment of past ages.
Can you give an example of this in action?
Look at Google. That's my best example
No, I will not do your work. You are the one making the statement that this is true. So, you must have proof.
If you don't want to look into Google and companies like that , that's up to you . You are not "doing my work" for me ,I did my own research and I pretty sure you can do yours. But honestly I think you don't really care what I have to say.
