You simply cannot tell me that your diet is healthy when the aroma of your gastrointestinal tract is “death”

Mhm… imho it’s somewhere between, I don’t do battle with the six year old on the way to the pediatrician, but it absolutely was a Kampf.

Struggle is too tame but battle doesn’t have quite the same additional less violent connotations as Kampf.

Since with the H-man battle is heavily connoted with the war, struggle might be the better translation to convey the exact meaning.

Every acceptance of superstition lays the groundwork for a belief in the supernatural. Every Homeopathy-Karen, every Wicca-Hippie, while peaceful and harmless in and of themselves provides the fertile ground on which a bigger misconception of reality can grow.

Should you be able to have your own beliefs and worship as you please as long as you don’t intrude on the rights of others?

Absolutely

But should society consider every expression of unfounded belief a failure of education in critical thinking? Yes.

Supernatural thinking and superstition are fundamentally at odds with a congruent model of reality, they are infectious memes and can fester into extremism if left unchecked. Not necessarily in the individual but absolutely on a societal scale.

The Wiccan priestess, the Luciferian practitioner, the Thelemite are not the Hijackers but they absolutely are the grains of sand that in their totality create the wandering dunes that ever so slowly swallow civilizations. Do we say “fuck that grain of sand in particular”? No, but nonetheless we fight the dunes.

Paris is the crime capital of Europe.

The city with the highest crime index in Western Europe is Marseilles (67,03) second highest is Bimingham (63,96)

Those would be the 8th and 13th place in the US. So you’d have to go through:

• Memphis (77,85)
• Detroit (72,82)
• Baltimore (71,11)
• Albuquerque (70,90)
• Saint Louis (70,12)
• Oakland (68,60) and
• New Orleans (67,92)

Before you arrive at Marseilles. Paris is at 57,88, that would be the 17th place in the US.

At the same time the kind of crimes that are unusually high in Marseilles and Paris are pickpocketing and petty theft.

The crimes that are unusually high in the US are violent crimes.

The US doesn’t only have stabbings too, it has more per capita than the UK.

In addition to the gun murder disparity

It’s no wonder, with that kind of intense training and discipling, that those young people are ready to kill themselves for the cause of Islam. I wanna see young people who are as committed to the cause of Jesus Christ as the young people are to the cause of Islam. I wanna see them as radically laying down their lives for the Gospel as they are over in Pakistan and Israel and Palestine and all those different places, you know, because we have… excuse me, but we have the truth!

people who think they’re attractive don’t vote

I just think it makes intuitive sense to conclude that individuals who are highly self-absorbed wouldn’t necessarily care about a collective, relatively anonymous civic duty like voting.

Do a study on it, have it peer reviewed, publish it and let’s see where it goes.

Right now all you have is a hunch based on no data.

Not to defend the other commenter (really not) but pretty privilege has been studied and is scientifically sound.

Not like it’s used here and NOT how incels use it, but it is measurable and has been studied a lot in regards to career opportunities.

Incels use it as a kernel of truth which they surround with bullshit in order to sound scientific.

I haven’t played Arma in nearly ten years. The community, even in DayZ (mod) used to be relatively chill. Especially compared to more fast paced shooters. I can only remember one person I seriously would prefer die slowly and painfully who I met in Arma.

In this context I really hope you mean aides.

It’s a pure tournament helmet for jousting, the peculiar design is to direct splinters away from the tiny opening that juuuuust let’s you see your opponent.

Bin schwerbehindert… derzeit erstmal drauf hin arbeiten dass der Kardiologe wieder Daumen hoch gibt zum Sport machen.

Imho. Project Zomboid is THE ultimate zombie-game. The atmosphere is perfect.

You’re being introduced to the game with “There was no hope of survival. This is how you died.” Because you likely ARE going to die.

You become overconfident and then get bit by a group of four undead who suddenly come at you from behind in a bathroom. Or you get trapped in a skyscraper by a horde that came running when the house-alarm went off. Or you die because the piece of shit car you are driving just won’t start anymore stranding you, exhausted and wounded, in front of the ever advancing horde. Or you fall from a roof. Or you cut yourself when jumping through a window. Or you just looted a watch and it had an alarm set that goes off right when you try to sneak by some zombies.

A single Zombie is seldom a threat (though it still can be) but their numbers are just too damn high and they never stop following you, while you become hungry, tired and exhausted. Then the water stops working and the power goes out and suddenly you have to survive by scavanging until you are able to set up a safe base where you can collect rainwater and start agriculture… or maybe you become a nomad, always one step ahead of the Zeds and scrounging for the little food left from before the apocalypse that hasn’t rotted away yet…

It is the perfect “The Walking Dead”-experience in single- as well as multiplayer.

Project Zomboid is one of my favorite games and it is the zombie-survival-game that all the other games in that genre are measured against.

As someone who is ugly and mentally ill, I can only vehemently deny this. That Bastard is even uglier and sicker than I am.

Yes, that’s my guess too, rent in NYC has to be a huge part of any supermarket budget. But this is still a subsidiary as loss of income is budgetary the same as an expense.

HEY! Don’t do whores dirty like that.

I really enjoy people showing me creepy bugs.

People are giving you uninformed answers, but to be fair, you just could have searched it yourself.

The stores haven’t even opened yet. The first are expected to open by the end of 2027.

The plan says they get the real estate from the city for free or very cheap. Also subsidies for groceries in the “core basket”.

The City, through NYCEDC, will provide the foundation and deliver grocery-ready sites, cover rent and property taxes, fund initial buildout, and establish a single public brand for all N.Y.C. Groceries locations. The City will also set clear requirements for affordability, job quality, transparency, and performance.

To support this effort, the City has committed $70 million in capital funding for store construction and fit-out.

So the answer is city subsidies, payed for with tax dollars.

Where those dollars will be coming from within the city budget has not yet been announced, but seeing as they have time until end of 2027, there’s likely going to be a lot of budget-shuffling and negotiations until a budget-position is going to be revealed.

Might be in the NYC budget already, but I don’t see reporting on it, nor do I have the time to go over that.

In my opinion it’s a relatively good and easy way of redistributing money from top to bottom. You know, like schools, libraries, public pools (or free universities in better countries). Because it directly addresses a need of the poorest New Yorkers without just handing them money and implements a “food as a human right” response to corpos profiting off of societies need for groceries.
