Maybe I misunderstood it then, it seemed like they were presenting this as a defence for people who cheat, like “don’t blame them, blame the society which ultimately causes it”.
Edit: reading again, it very clearly says “… Instead of vilifying it [infidelity]…” So they really are trying to say “stop getting upset about it”
Your exact same argument could be made for murder, for sex crimes, for hate crimes, etc. Just because some people might occasionally want to commit these acts, does not make them okay, because they hurt people.
Open relationships already exist. There is no limit on what kind of relationship you can define with your partner, so there is absolutely no “necessity of lying and cheating”. That is just an excuse for people who don’t give a shit about hurting people.
The answer will always be “Autobot” if we assume the Decepticons will try to decieve you
To Bavaria. I live in Allgäu now
I’m Australian, and I moved to Germany some years ago :)
This is not a counter-argument, it’s a thought terminating cliche.
The way I understand “Smalltalk” is not whether the subject matter is “serious enough” but rather whether either party actually has any interest in it, or if it is a polite nicety to avoid awkward silence.
Discussing the weather in a car ride with a coworker is smalltalk, contemplating with a friend how one might conquer the world using ant-controlling super powers is not.
How does that make sense, it’s just arbitrary numbers. I can give you arbitrary numbers for celsius too: 30 being hot but tolerable, 20 being perfect, 10 being cold but tolerable.

I don’t see how this comic talks about climate change at all. It’s basically a long winded way to say “haha some people won’t be ready to adopt new tech until the literal apocalypse”
I have tagged you as trolololol
I’m not even American mate
That blood is actually blue until it gets in contact with air
I was also taught this in school, along with many very unscientific things. When they eventually taught us about evolution (they had to because of national curriculum) they couldn’t stop stressing how it was “just an outdated theory” and showed us additional videos which “disproved” it
Militaries having guns is a very different thing to the general population having guns.
There have been quite a few studies that suggest the opposite. I strongly suggest the book “Human Kind” if you want some optimism, it investigates this topic.
If you think they would be the consequence of banning and removing guns from society, you can test this theory by looking at any country which has already done this. What you find is that gun violence is extremely minimal in these countries. So turns out your worries are over nothing!
I mean people have fun with many things which are dangerous. Fireworks are dangerous, rock climbing is dangerous, driving is dangerous.
I’m strongly anti-gun, but I’m willing to admit they are fun.

I’ve had one of these for probably 15 years now. Excellent tool.
