Well yeah it's essential for growth it helps us reflect on our past actions and decisions, providing insights that can guide future behavior
At the same time it doesn't mean regrets are good, we should avoid actions that could potentially trap us in the pool of regrets

[thorny steeple]

Ye, if the meme doesn't become famous on tiktok or Twitter or reddit or 4chan it has failed and you will own me 5 bucks of nitro

[idle hill]

we got that crazy teamwork like few hours ago and one got muted and one got banned

[thorny steeple]

Understandable

I don't like that actually, I have never studied the grammar

[thorny steeple]

Vactican,Malta, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, San Marino, Andorra, and I forgot the final one

[idle hill]

that's why my grammar is terrible sometimes

but I like the short version of phrases

asap, ikr, idk, stf u, ssob, lol, lmao etc.

[thorny steeple]

English

[idle hill]

I learned those from americans 🤣

[thorny steeple]

It's a flawed language

[thorny steeple]

Interesting

[hard parrot]

Tho, can we count Russia as European. Most of Russia's land is in Asia no? (Tho most Russians fall in the European part)

[idle hill]

have fun

[hard parrot]

Or should we consider Russia neutral lol

[idle hill]

I think to define a country which is in Asia or Europe, just see where is their capital

for Russia, their capital is Moscow, which is part of Europe

so they are European.

[thorny steeple]

Don't die tbh

[hard parrot]

Ah well then it falls in Europe because of Moscow

[idle hill]

so damn true but I never talk with a british fr

[thorny steeple]

See ya later peps

[idle hill]

see u

[hard parrot]

Yk, what if we get banned for lingual racism

[thorny steeple]

Hello people how it's going?

Why do humans love to build stuff?

[silent dock]

because humans love stuff

[glacial lodge]

yeah, and also because stuff benefits humans

[thorny steeple]

I do know the basics, I'm slowly reading the cathecism and will read other books about faith and traditions. Brazil used to be a catholic country, now most people here are protestants

[thorny steeple]

Continents are more of a socio-cultural concept than a geographic one. With that said, Russia is still hard to classify due to its variety of ethnic groups

We would have a continet called Afro-Eurasia if we only considered geography

[dapper laurel]

I thought Brazil was a Catholic majority country, what happened?

[feral river]

Backyard of the US

Is there a geopolitical conflict in South America ?

I think American influences just dominated that region

[dapper laurel]

Why do you say that? They are now independent

[unique burrow]

Bro, Brazil's Catholic majority has been shrinking because more people are turning to evangelical Protestantism, secularism is on the rise, and there are demographic changes happening. This is like making the population more religiously diverse.

[thorny steeple]

It's a complex subject.

Basically, nowadays the census in Brazil (which I worked on) registers a Catholic majority, but most people who declare themselves catholic don't really follow the religion, they just declare themselves as catholics. If you look up the data, you'll see how many catholics we (seem) to have.

The protestant church has grown a lot in popularity here. Is you look up the data, again, around 25% of Brazil declare themselves as that. But the question is: those 25% are made up by people who really FOLLOW their religion.

So if you see who really follows it, protestants are a majority.

Prostentants have many important charges in Brazilian politics and they own too much in the financial sector. Brazilians are also too 'emotional' and they don't really follow only one tradition. So, if you put all these factors together (and remember, the Catholic church is shrinking in power and popularity all around the globe), you'll know why that happens

[left badger]

A few years ago, I've watch a survival series in which there was a mixed groupe of men and women. But after a guy made a kinda sexist remark, the groupe splitted. And while the guys struggle to make a fire and hunt, the women managed the hunt at least an eel and make fire. But these days, the only contents on YouTube shows how a bunch of weak women ain't even able to survive. Now people assume women in general can't survive a week in nature. Are they triggered by feminists these days?

[thorny steeple]

I always write an essay when I have to discuss the most basic things itw I need to fix it

[thorny steeple]

Religion / cultural diversity is part of our DNA

[feral river]

South Korea, Japan are also independent states but I think they are still dependent on US, Brazil is a big country but still dependent on the US influences ? Like if there is a conflict in South America, US is likely to interfere to protect their interest.

[dapper laurel]

It is difficult to verify who is truly devoted to Catholicism, in my opinion one should only count who has been baptized

[left badger]

I noticed that many young Catholics in my country don't seem to have finished the bible

[dapper laurel]

Maybe, but I don't think it's the main reason

[feral river]

so they are not really independent and their geopolitical power still controlled by the US I guess

[thorny steeple]

I think it would more accurate to count based on how many times one go to the church each month and how often they confess

[feral river]

You can tell me what is the main reason

I’m really appreciate that

[thorny steeple]

Many people here are baptized in the youth, but when they grow up, they decide to switch their religion

[dapper laurel]

If you believe in the existence of a God, this is enough to confirm your religiosity, if you are a non-practicing Christian you just need to get closer to the church

[dapper laurel]

@thorny steeple just explained that

[dapper laurel]

Here

[thorny steeple]

If they are young that's fine, many people can't really comprehend the Bible when they are young because it is such a complex book and they may not be mature enough to profoundly understand it

[dapper laurel]

I'm reading it, but you have to keep in mind that the Bible is not a magazine

[left badger]

At 19 or 20 you're supposed to put your back into it if you really care. Well that's just my opinion

I used to be scared to read it, tho

[thorny steeple]

At that age I also think so, but if they are like 5 years younger than that, my opinion is different

[feral river]

Why is that so important?

The Bible ? Like an abstract religious book ?

I don’t think we should enforce it on other people

[thorny steeple]

I'm sure you and the other Minecraft are the same person at least you share the same brain

[feral river]

I’m sure you are talking something irrelevant

That’s our issue not your issue we decided to have a split on account

That’s our consensus

And about your question on me or him, I don’t care

[dapper laurel]

Only those who are religious should read it, you misunderstood

[feral river]

Finish the Bible for some group of people ?

I guess if they are religious they can still choose to finish it or not to finish

[dapper laurel]

Anyone who is truly religious should read it, at least an excerpt

[feral river]

Not enforce on them

[feral river]

That’s your opinion then

[slow bridge]

hello

[dapper laurel]

It's a bit like communists, every self-respecting communist has read Karl Marx

[dapper laurel]

https://tenor.com/view/angry-chinese-man-yolochka429-gif-3831722595826963173

[feral river]

I know him! He’s awesome

But now he was banned

[thorny steeple]

I think if you're someone critical about the Bible, you should also read it. It is just like Karl Marx, you can't criticise something if you don't know about it, you'll run out of arguments at your first try

[dapper laurel]

https://tenor.com/view/ripped-off-muscle-macho-body-gif-16227729

[left badger]

No one is enforcing anything. The word of God is shared through love and the Bible. Not by the sword

[jolly agate]

ok ok

[feral river]

Yeah

[left badger]

True, I used to be against the Bible. I was a witch

[jolly agate]

we get it

[jolly agate]

did you make some magic potions

[left badger]

But one day, I changed and got kinda drawn to Christianity

[left badger]

Even cursed someone in public. He got paralysed a day after for couple of hours. That was really bad

[feral river]

Outdated, now we have nukes and viruses

[jolly agate]

“Even” does it mean you did make some potions

[jolly agate]

Well magic is different then the science

[jolly agate]

science can be magic however

[left badger]

No, I made sheets of spells, ritual circles

[jolly agate]

do they work

[left badger]

Wanted to try potions

[left badger]

Saddly. It worked because the guy who got cursed, even though he wasn't a believer and he invited me to curse him

[jolly agate]

what was the curse

[idle hill]

hear I really have no patient to this such false accusation cames out if you think we have the same name or same ideology something I don't freaking care.

[left badger]

I wanted to make his body soft and weak

[thorny steeple]

I see that you're both catholic and commie, how do you conciliate both

[dapper laurel]

It's normal, in all developed countries we tend to believe less in God, many don't feel the need, because they think they have everything

[jolly agate]

well he could just stop eating

[idle hill]

but accusations without proof, is not that awesome than you think

[trim kelp]

True

[idle hill]

you have to be responsible for your speeches, no exception

[dapper laurel]

Now he will answer: Jesus was the first communist

[thorny steeple]

Yeah most Northern European countries (which used to be protestant) are atheist nowadays, that's mad

[left badger]

I'm Christian. The commie sign is just a joke between friends. I like commie jokes too

[dapper laurel]

It's really sad, but everyone chooses how to live their life, that's right

Never heard of it, tell me how it went

[thorny steeple]

Huh?

[civic reef]

catholicsm, as any other religion, did only harm to individuals. for the price of keeping the masses "rather stable"

[dapper laurel]

https://tenor.com/view/mike-and-jack-kid-grandpa-cute-love-gif-16657681

[left badger]

That's sad, I used to be like them. Nearly got gender dysphoria because of the media. Not all non believers feel like that but. I used to believe Christianity was all bad and oppressive. I made bad assumptions about it without even learning

[exotic lake]

i dont think so

[thorny steeple]

Don't trust the globalists

[dapper laurel]

Let me start by saying that I think religion is not something political

[rose eagle]

Do you live in a Muslim country?

[thorny steeple]

“Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.”

[left badger]

My grandmother uses this saying when people go to the bathroom😹

Only the first part

[rose eagle]

That's Windows Communist

[exotic lake]

well thats not the case because most political parties use religion for propaganda since religion is so personal to many people, it has become their whole identity for some people.

[dapper laurel]

270000 members is a crazy statistics

[left badger]

Not the coolest flag I've seen, tho. Looks like the wheat smoked too much and can't stay straight

[dapper laurel]

It looks like a communist Windows logo

[left badger]

Anything can be made a religion. You just gotta do it religiously

[rose eagle]

Communist OS

[manic juniper]

They hurt the masses too at times, pagans for example

[feral river]

Yeah 😂 Microsoft Windows Communist 10

I just don’t like that flag but the current flag of Japan is just nice as always

Japan is 日本 means the places of raising sun.

That’s why their flag is just like a sun

[graceful pulsar]

learn ai before it s to late

[knotty spindle]

Still here lmao

[prisma cipher]

Their flag is white thing with red dot on it.

You know sky isn't white and sun (thanks God) isn't red yet

[feral river]

Yes I’m here how is the prison like ?

I never tried that don’t really have that experience

I will be here and not go anywhere

Hope you will happy to this

[knotty spindle]

Feels like china

[dapper laurel]

Maybe whoever designed the flag was color blind

[knotty spindle]

The white stands for purity and integrity

[left badger]

Pagans are not that good. Many did awful human sacrifices or were hostiles. But in the media, they always portray pagans as beautiful misunderstood people living in harmony with nature. That portrayal is biased

[thorny steeple]

People usually invent stuff for fun

There are so many things that are not essential to survive

[manic juniper]

Sounds like whataboutism but still, they never did human sacrifices where I'm from

Lumping all pagans together is a bit stupid and narrow minded

[thorny steeple]

A pagan is just a person holding religious beliefs other than those of the main or recognized religions

[knotty spindle]

Sounds like another situation ive heard of

[manic juniper]

Exactly, in no way the pagans of northeastern Europe were related to those in southern Europe for example

[thorny steeple]

I wanted to specify this because without historical and geographical context the word pagan is meaningless

[thorny steeple]

Do you know what pagan Aztecs did?

Scientists were considered pagans 400 years ago

[manic juniper]

They sacrificed other pagans they kept as tributaries or slaves

[thorny steeple]

I know a lot of Aztecs, human sacrifices were not what you think. A rare event. In the past it was also common among Christians to make sacrifices or kill heretics. In that historical phase almost all religions had violent implications for one reason or another.

[manic juniper]

It's a weird argument to say Christians brought some enlightenment or civilisation when Viking raids seemed to increase after Vikings were converted to Christianity

[thorny steeple]

People are always good at judging other cultures without context, but when it comes to their own they deny their own history

[thorny steeple]

Archeological researches show that they did more than any other people has done in the whole world

[feral river]

Oh where you ever been in China then

[thorny steeple]

They literally killed innocent babies

[thorny steeple]

It has brought more unity to Europe, and it has positively contributed to the civilisation in general. Everyone was united by the same rule

[thorny steeple]

No, they don't actually say that. The Aztec finds are very recent, so it is easy to find a lot of evidence to build the historical context. I don't know if it was true for the time, I could accept it, they were far from european civilizations and their society was less complex than European ones.

[feral river]

Sounds like China

What qinshihuang did

[thorny steeple]

That's what Kublai Khan and the later Ming did

[feral river]

We also did that under PRC’s rule

[thorny steeple]

https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.360.6395.1288

[left badger]

Yeah, besides human sacrifice are an abomination to God. He only asked animal sacrifice

After Jesus died on the cross they didn't need any form of sacrifice.

[thorny steeple]

I do like pre-Colombian civilizations and admire Tenochtitlan, probably it had more inhabitants than Sevilla, Venice and Rome. But I cannot deny what happened as it is shown in many sources and studies

[thorny steeple]

Ancient Israel and Ur probably had a similar number of sacrifices, but it is much more difficult to find artifacts due to the millennia that have passed, compared to the few centuries of Central American civilizations.
History is not a science and nor we have the instruments to actually conclude that those finding are exacts, anyway I don't think that u reading an article is enough. To understand an entire culture you usually need years of study and experience in the field

Try to not judge in this manner, it's childish. Critiques are better but only with context.

[thorny steeple]

I don't base my opinions on conjectures, I do that with facts and researches

[thorny steeple]

Many do, but they don't understand the articles and most of the time they don't read them. It's not enough to read two books to understand these things. Even less a couple of articles or YouTube videos.

[manic juniper]

I don't think that burning peaceful nomads and turning 99% of the population of a country into soldiers or servants united us in any way

[thorny steeple]

The history of human groups is interconnected with a multitude of things. For example, without knowing the geography of Central America from 13,000 BC to about 1600, it is unclear why some societies organized themselves that way. There is a risk of calling these civilizations barbaric, forgetting that many of the actions that are criticized are justifiable in that context.

[manic juniper]

Besides Lithuania was pretty united despite the huge diversity in faiths, even Christians

Bulgaria too was united despite having rulers of different faiths

Kyivan Rus'

Rome broke apart more than ever not long after they made Christianity into the state religion

[thorny steeple]

Some historians argue that much of the success of Eurasian civilizations was simply due to geological reasons

Like the numbers of animals and plants simple to dometiscate

[manic juniper]

I guess it was, North Africa was very advanced and almost on par with southern Europe due to geography as well

[feral river]

Did you find any religion dominate the east asia ?

[manic juniper]

Buddhism?

Although in East Asia only Korea and Japan were more fanatically religious

[feral river]

Not really because we don’t do Theocracy

[manic juniper]

I know, I'm just saying which one is popular but Buddhism never held the same power in East Asia as it did in Theravada countries like Myanmar

To this day Buddhism is sometimes linked to nationalism in Myanmar

[thorny steeple]

It's true but humans remained in Africa for millions of years. And for millennia of recent history, most of Africa remained a place with scarce resources and animals accustomed to humans and difficult to domesticate. Elephants, for example, have never been domesticated but can be trained.

[thorny steeple]

It has more many factors. One of them is geographic position. Europe is located beside Asia, above Africa and beside America. Things such as that has helped a lot throughout time

[thorny steeple]

Most of the plants on which our diet is based come from Mesopotamia, for example

Also horses etc

[manic juniper]

Yeah I mentioned North Africa because it's very different from the rest of Africa, there the native megafauna went extinct for the most part and trade was easier through the sea

[thorny steeple]

I don't attribute Europe's success to Christianity, there many stronger reasons that come along with that

[feral river]

They are popular but it doesn’t mean they are dominating, our state power is still based on emperor not religion

[manic juniper]

I thought you were referring to which one holds more importance, it doesn't have any even in Japan today

Even before it was more like the Japanese junta had control of the religion and used it as a tool rather than a religious caste having any control

[thorny steeple]

Corn was actually domesticated by Europeans, the civilizations of Central America had a very rudimentary agriculture, because it is complex to domesticate corn compared to wheat.

[feral river]

Yeah but in history a lot of European countries and countries from other places practiced the theocracy

Like made the religion to the core of state

Not a president or something

[thorny steeple]

There are a lot of psychologycal and social explanations to that

[manic juniper]

It wasn't really theocracy in Europe, it was a mixture of aristocrats and clerics, sometimes at odds with one another

It was more of a theocracy in the Papal State

[thorny steeple]

They forgot all about the municipalities, the people's assemblies, the banks, etc

[manic juniper]

Religion was a useful tool of the rulers to control and oppress the masses as long as it was organised and easy to impose

[manic juniper]

Well she is from China so I guess it's fine to only know part of the story

[thorny steeple]

Europe wouldn't be as strong as it is if they hadn't developed industry and were helped on developing navigation

[feral river]

😭 many people don’t like me here for no reason 😭

[manic juniper]

But we like you

[thorny steeple]

People think of history as if there had been one type of government for millennia or if societies were dark fantasy... In reality there have been a multitude of different governments, a lot of experiments but so many that it's absurd. Until a few centuries, human culture was extremely diverse.

[feral river]

[manic juniper]

I will make you my general in the future

I don't think you'd betray me because you fear repercussions and instability so you'd be fine with that position

[feral river]

They all saying we are the single person and diss me sometimes

[thorny steeple]

Or if it hadn't developed ballistic calculations and firearms right away

[left badger]

The thing is that Jesus tells in the bible that you should not judge Christianity and God by it's followers. Because the followers are all sinners who serve a perfect God. But it is also said that Christians should act correctly towards their brothers and strangers to be an exemple.

[feral river]

Yes my leader!

[thorny steeple]

They were helped by China's invention on handling gunpowder

[thorny steeple]

In many millennia or centuries Christianity will be forgotten

Basically European success can't be attributed only to Europeans

[thorny steeple]

They have been saying it for ages

[manic juniper]

Yes, and that's only limited to recorded history, there are hints at diversity being even greater before largest language families established themselves

[thorny steeple]

Firearms were known long before, the difficulty was never producing them en masse but the accuracy, which depended on the development of a certain type of mathematics which then also led to the scientific revolution

[thorny steeple]

It has only existed for 2 thousand years, that's not long

[manic juniper]

Just like the steam engine

[thorny steeple]

The history of modern man is something like 200 thousand years

[thorny steeple]

Yep

[left badger]

Never dude. It has exited for so long. I see many people getting back into it or joining for the first time. It is spreading like wild fire. They tried to destroy the Bible, kill Christians oppressed them but we are still here😹

The Bible is one of the most copied book in the world

[thorny steeple]

There were ideas that last longer than christianity but ceased to exist, change it's the natural state of everything

[thorny steeple]

They were also helped by the Arab in their golden era by bringing a most developed mathematical system to Europe

[thorny steeple]

Coca cola is more famous than jesus

Coca cola will also probably last longer

As an idea, I am quite serious

[manic juniper]

Sauna too

[prisma cipher]

Doubt that

[thorny steeple]

Nobody helped anyone, all culture are connected in some extent

[manic juniper]

It existed for over 7000 years and it's still more popular than Jesus here

[thorny steeple]

What are u saying, christianity is about less than 2 thousands years old

[manic juniper]

I'm talking about sauna

Sauna-like practices are known from at least 5000 BC in Scotland I believe

[thorny steeple]

Oh sorry

[thorny steeple]

Yes he's right

[left badger]

God said, sky and land will pass, my word will never pass. He was the same yesterday, the same now and will be the same tomorrow. I said I wouldn't be Christian, ever! But look what I say now. Humans change, I changed you will change. The earth will change and pass. But not God😹

[manic juniper]

God isn't necessarily Christianity so of course it will stay even after Christianity disappears

[thorny steeple]

Speaking in catchphrases helps you memorize, but isn't very helpful in learning the history of your religion. Christianity has undergone a lot of changes and so has the bible. The books you call apocryphal were once not.

[feral river]

God, Christian, history, etc. what is this topic ? Why I can understand every single word but I don’t understand what it exactly means

This is just incredible

[thorny steeple]

Do you know what every kind o drink / food your ancestors ate 2000 years ago?

Nothing really, I just wanted to remind people that dehumanizing other cultures, making them barbaric in common jargon, is not a good practice and is of little use in actually understanding their historical context.

[feral river]

Humm yes but how dehumanizing ?

What is dehumanizing can you please give me an example ?

[left badger]

It didn't. It was just translated but you can still get the big picture when reading it. If the original says Lazarus was resurrected on the 4 th day, in the other version it will say the same but in another language. If in the original it says Jesus was a carpenter, the other version will say the same. Everything is true if you ask God to open your heart. It took me years to do that but never too late.

[feral river]

Kill all the people ?

[thorny steeple]

We live in a very different world, today's information will be imprinted like never before. We are becoming more and more efficient at accumulating information and making it last longer.

[manic juniper]

Saying they were worse because they were less technologically advanced or had different ideas that don't exist today

[thorny steeple]

Every discussion during the day tends to be like this

[feral river]

Oh so that’s just humiliating and discriminating another culture

[prisma cipher]

Ancient people were dump

[thorny steeple]

I like to think of technology as a natural phenomenon, information tries to persist just like life. It evolves and adapts, it finds the way to exist in people's minds for millennia and also in other types of artifacts, books, computers, robots and what else awaits us in the future.

[feral river]

That’s because we need to be more developed, the core is interests.

[thorny steeple]

With the inventions of writing we become way more efficient than before at maintaining information from the past.

[left badger]

No one is dehumanising anyone. We are all sinners. Christians are not supposed to do that even to non believers. A sin commuted by a believer and non believer are the same.

[thorny steeple]

Do we? I can live an happy life without the need of space travel

But humans one day will conquer the stars no matter

[left badger]

Well, whatever. Have a nice day everyone

[feral river]

Maybe you need one when earth is gonna die

[thorny steeple]

This will happen in so much time that it's not even revelant

[feral river]

At least my children‘s children‘s children etc need one

[feral river]

Yeah just not you but your child

[thorny steeple]

We're talking about millions of years

[feral river]

We need to give a good world to our children isn’t it ?

[prisma cipher]

What

[thorny steeple]

Traveling in space is also drastically more difficult than you think, the distances are literally astronomical. And the environment is the most dangerous and unpredictable thing you can expect

[thorny steeple]

Read the messages a little before and u will understand

[prisma cipher]

It's billions

[manic juniper]

Spring weather has finally arrived : D

[prisma cipher]

I was thinking you mean it million of year to travel towards the stars

[feral river]

Not really 😦 here is so hot

[manic juniper]

Exactly, here as well

19 C when yesterday was 4 C is unprecedented

[prisma cipher]

Yes warm weather was coming yesterday

[prisma cipher]

You know..human don't really understand difference between million and billion. Because throught evolution they don't operate such numbers

[dapper laurel]

Here it's like 19°C

[prisma cipher]

to understand the difference, you need an abstract picture

[manic juniper]

Why are bumblebees so fat

[feral river]

Today’s 24 OC

HERE IS JUST HOT AS HELL

Jinan, Shandong, China

[prisma cipher]

Respect China 🇨🇳

[manic juniper]

Disgusting

It's already bad here

Why can't it be some degrees lower

[feral river]

🇨🇳❤️

[dapper laurel]

How much humidity is there there?

[feral river]

70%

[thorny steeple]

Here is 29°C at 1 PM

What a tough life we live in tropical countries

Can confirm, Sicily and Rome are unliveable

[thorny steeple]

A temperature of 30°C is quite good for me, but all my friends call me mad because I like that

[dapper laurel]

I agree, when I was in Rome I sweated a liter of water

[thorny steeple]

Most of them wish they were in an European-like temperature

[manic juniper]

I was in Sicily when it was 44 C, worst mistake of my life

[dapper laurel]

I, on the other hand, can't stand the heat, even in winter I sleep with the window open

[feral river]

I heard that weather in euope is just not bad, like germany rainning all the time

[dapper laurel]

But Sicily is beautiful, except for the temperature

[feral river]

and they don't even need a umbrella

[manic juniper]

Sometimes, western Sicily is kind of barren and a huge farmland which I dislike

[feral river]

the place that allies landed ?

[manic juniper]

Eastern Sicily feels better because of the wild cattle

[manic juniper]

Yes

[dapper laurel]

Yessir 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅🦅🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[feral river]

now which owner is this land ?

[manic juniper]

Italy

[feral river]

Italy awesome, the Rome

the real Rome is Italy

and Italy noodies

humm I don't like that actually

[manic juniper]

Today's Italy is almost the same as Roman Italy, almost 1:1, I think it's actually smaller because Roman Italy didn't include Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica but they were different provinces

They had more area in mainland Italy, in northern Italy

But without the islands it's smaller than the current republic

[feral river]

wait now Italy is a republic ?

[manic juniper]

Yes

[dapper laurel]

I don't remember much about this, I was in Sicily when I was very little, but I certainly remember that I made a bad impression there

[manic juniper]

Even the Roman "Empire" technically was a republic

[feral river]

I heard that is a dictatorship if you know mussolini

[manic juniper]

I'm pretty sure they always called it a republic officially

[dapper laurel]

No, we are still under fascist dictatorship, the republic of Salò, you know

[manic juniper]

Why is that

[feral river]

I doubt that.

I think she's right, Italy is a republic

[dapper laurel]

Because I had made friends with a child and I told him that I was Italian and I liked talking to Sicilians (I implied that they were foreigners)

[dapper laurel]

I am Italian, I confirm

[manic juniper]

The Italian puppet state was a republic too

[dapper laurel]

To be precise, we are a parliamentary republic, but we will soon become a presidential republic

[manic juniper]

Most countries in Europe are republics except some monarchies

Most are parliamentary republics too

[feral river]

what is the difference hummmm ?

[dapper laurel]

There is also a theocracy in Europe

[manic juniper]

Ah lmao, or maybe they thought you were American

[manic juniper]

Yes

[dapper laurel]

That in a parliamentary republic the parliament has more powers, while in a presidential republic the prime minister has more powers, but I'm not sure

[manic juniper]

I think Turkey and France are presidential republics, maybe Russia too? Don't know about Belarus

[feral river]

is there a difference between republics ? except socialist republic

socialist republic is not a republic i guess

[manic juniper]

Yes it's like that

[tropic ice]

What????

[feral river]

hummm I'm sorry I can't figure out these things, can you explain it easier ?

[dapper laurel]

Nah, I spoke Italian, however in southern Italy it is not uncommon to see blond people

[dapper laurel]

Keep calm, I was trolling lol

[thorny steeple]

Hello

[manic juniper]

I mean an American that speaks Italian, they are rare but they exist. When I was there I met one, he spoke Italian exceptionally well

Maybe B1 level

[dapper laurel]

I didn't know about this, interesting

Maybe he was some 2nd generation Italian born in America and who returned to Italy

[manic juniper]

The president has more executive powers in a presidential republic, aka they can do a lot more things however they wish, still within constitutional limits of course

[idle hill]

president is leader
parliament is group of elites and prime minister(leader)

[manic juniper]

Third or fourth I believe, I thought they mistook you for one since you said that, or maybe they just thought you had regional preferences

[feral river]

hummm I guess I know it now

[dapper laurel]

In democracies there is a component called parliament, it is responsible for discussing the president's decisions, approving laws and much more, this is one of the typical mechanisms of democracies; It allows for a broad exchange of ideas. For example, if the president wants to make an unjust law, parliament can counter his decision by not approving the law

[dapper laurel]

They laughed, that's how I remember, but I think I made a bad impression anyway, I was 6 years old at the time

[manic juniper]

F, reminds me of when I implied a somewhat vulgar or sexual context because I used a word from Australian English rather than American or British English

A very normal word that however has a completely different meaning in American and British English

[dapper laurel]

A mechanical, automatic process, a sequence of actions I think

[feral river]

but isn't that a decision that rejects the command from the leader ?

how is that even possible

that's not democracy it's disrupting the leader's decision and vision

so there is a parliament leader ?

like the prime minister

[dapper laurel]

Suppose the leader is crazy, someone will have to stop his tyrannical decisions

[dapper laurel]

Nope

The parliament is made up of hundreds of people

[feral river]

but what if he didn't ? what if he did something good for people but parliament rejects ?

like a long-term decision combat a short-term decision and they have a conflict

[thorn lagoon]

https://youtu.be/8Cf99XvNtWw?si=9Os8_K204RBPMlnn

Maga Communism 👀

[dapper laurel]

This isn't exactly how it works, in parliament there is an opposition that challenges the leader's decisions if they are wrong

[dapper laurel]

Most of the leader's decisions are respected, however, because the leader usually needs a majority in his favor

[feral river]

that's incredible and crazy that's not a leader but a advicer to be specific

[dapper laurel]

Nah, the leader still has many powers, but he is not subordinate to the parliament

Furthermore, sometimes parliament itself makes the laws and they can be rejected

However, this is the index of democracy in the world

I'm not really the right person to explain what democracy is, it's a very complex system btw

[thorny steeple]

Too much democracy in Ireland.

Honestly, I'd actually say too much. We have loads of problems with immigration, loads of asylum seekers and they get everything, while our people get nothing. They treat them better than their own citizens.

They are even trying to replace Ukrainians with Africans, I thought that was a joke until I saw what's actually happening.

Exactly.

The Irish people are slowly becoming second class citizens. Well, some of us.

The problem is that instead of keeping those who work, they simply move them out to small villages and replace them with asylum seekers.

Most of them are illegal immigrants, they are coming to our country not seeking for a safe place to live in, they come here to live for free.

Provided with everything, free healthcare, free food, free house

I've been to Egypt, beautiful beaches, but the country is extremely poor.

Damaged cars everywhere, loads of police cars and officers everywhere.

[thorny steeple]

I'm actually not sure if you call them officers, more like policemen.

Yes, they do exist, but finding them can be quite difficult.

Most Australians have never encountered them.

If it was true, no one would live there.

Many people believe that Australia is teeming with reptiles, spiders, and the like, but in reality, encountering them is quite rare.

[feral river]

why is Russia and China is not democracy ?

China has its own system like politburo

Russia just got a presidential election

[thorny steeple]

What do you think of it though?

[feral river]

I think that's democracy

[dapper laurel]

Because their leaders are not democratically elected and there is no freedom of the press

[feral river]

freedom of press ? what is that

[prisma cipher]

Why he isn't democratically elected?

As for the press, this is partly true, but after the military operation. before that we had opposition news

[dapper laurel]

Newspapers can say what they want, they can criticize the government's actions, they can raise citizens' awareness of the country's problems and much more

[thorny steeple]

Military operation 🙃

[dapper laurel]

And journalists are not punished for doing this

[prisma cipher]

After war, but I prefer say it how I like. I pretty sure you think I can't use war word.

[dapper laurel]

Who are you referring to, Putin? If it is him, let's say he has been ruling russia for more than 20 years, it seems like a dictatorship to me

[thorny steeple]

I don't believe you can, as it can be punishable in your country.

There are two types of people in your country: those who actively support the war and those who remain silent. Speaking out against the war can lead to imprisonment, that's how it works in your country.

[prisma cipher]

It seems you know a lot about democrati

[feral river]

that's definitely not democracy but mislead the people to disobey the command from leader

[prisma cipher]

У нас началась война с Украиной, wow how I do that

[feral river]

how could he lead a country in that environment

[prisma cipher]

But I prefer use military operation

[feral river]

a soldier must follow its commander's command

people too

[prisma cipher]

Thanks for explaining

[dapper laurel]

Newspapers are not anti-government associations, they only have the task of circulating news, without censorship

[thorny steeple]

Just to correct, you prefer safety

You don't actually prefer saying "military operation" instead of "war", you prefer to do what the government tells ya

[prisma cipher]

I just use war word twice

[thorny steeple]

Good on ya

[dapper laurel]

However, I believe that a perfect democracy does not exist and that every citizen of every state is controlled in some way

[prisma cipher]

Ok.

[thorny steeple]

[prisma cipher]

if I translate your message into Russian and show it to my friends, I won't be the only one who will find it funny

Without doubt.

[thorny steeple]

Yep, just show it to him

[prisma cipher]

Show who?

[thorny steeple]

See, you're either trolling or you don't understand what I'm even talking about

You said "if I translate your message into Russian and show it to my friends...", yea, show it to them

[prisma cipher]

I said it like a joke

[thorny steeple]

Fair enough

[prisma cipher]

@thorny steeple so I can't use military operation terminology because government use it?

[thorny steeple]

Who told ya that?

[prisma cipher]

Ok then I will continue to say military operation instead of war

To feel safe

almost all articles are manipulative; it is very rare to find neutral headlines

[prisma cipher]

But no.

[idle hill]

not that much than u think

[forest slate]

ofc, i think almost 70 % of the history u learnt has been made up

[idle hill]

that's bs

proof it

[forest slate]

does bs stand for bulshit?

[idle hill]

I can say history is biased and serve for politics but it's not a fake history

[prisma cipher]

Western propaganda just works a little smarter. when they need to present two points of view. They present the necessary opinion in detail and with explanations. and the bad is very short. But technically they give you two point of view

[forest slate]

i suck at history and geography, but there's one about the history in my country that is obfuscated from the actual fact

[idle hill]

even we have a lot of historians in China investigate some fake history which created during Mao era and being directly repealed

[forest slate]

that i learnt the truth one when i turned adult

[prisma cipher]

Sometimes it seems to me that people put the wrong meaning into the word propaganda. propaganda is not a synonym for the word lie. Yes, propaganda can lie. but the main thing in propaganda is placing emphasis in the right places. Like if you support something war you talk about how brave they attack or defend. If you anty you talk how aggressive they attack how Mani civilians are hurting, if enemy defending you talk how they cowardly running away. No lie but pure propaganda.

Hey

[rancid elbow]

It's called internet trolling. Have you been living under the rock all this time?

[rancid elbow]

I'm not a dictionary but I define it as a psychological trick, also informally known as brainwashing, applied to misguide the weak minds to benefit from

[onyx hazel]

There is, Radio Free Asia is one example of it

[silk glade]

Hi

Whys my dad still poor even tho he has a great education and financial knowledge!and so much experience too.

What do yall think is stopping him from getting rich

And also

If i made some grammar errors js please fix em up

[prisma cipher]

I disagree. the word brainwashed by the way is a cliché word. Cliché words are used in propaganda.

[rancid elbow]

Speaking of conflicts, at the end of the day, human beings are predators no matter how much they claim to be evolved from their ancestors. And our beliefs are often ignorantly based only on one side of the story. The so-called reality of oneself is nothing but a reflection of the environment they've grown up and the experience they've gained throughout their lifespan. Hence, there's no true bad or good, it's all subjective.

[silk glade]

What yall talking about

[prisma cipher]

Holodomor cliche

[onyx hazel]

Well, I know, but I don't know what this has to do about what I'm saying

Mhm ok. And also bro was there any grammar errors?? In my text!

[onyx hazel]

I see, and you're completly right

what really matter, isn't the bias and the political side, what matter is what side is proving their point

everything is biased, neutrality doesn't exist

[thorn lagoon]

Sure buddy 🤣

[onyx hazel]

I couldn't take it seriously 🤣

[rancid elbow]

Nobody is perfect, including myself. Don't apologize, instead focus on bettering and comparing yourself to yesterday's self

[silk glade]

Js dont focus on accuracy

Focus on fluency

[rancid elbow]

Facts

[onyx hazel]

finally, somene understands ＼(≧▽≦)／

[silk glade]

Cz when u got used to the lnaguge from there after ur accuracy gonna improve🤓

[rancid elbow]

Sorry to bring you the harsh truth. Nope, you're good

[silk glade]

:))

[onyx hazel]

The comprehention of the term "fluency" is kinda weird, because fluency means that you can speak naturally without any problems. But the true is that fluency itself doesn't exist because there will always be a topic in English (or in any language) that you're not fluent of

[rancid elbow]

At this rate, we may potentially end up being friends... Little concerning

[onyx hazel]

You can have a good english, but if you have never talked about politics for example, you're not fluent on this topic

but don't get me wrong, that's not complaining, it's just a reflection

[rancid elbow]

Another portion of pure facts. I suppose by fluency they mean having the non-highly-specialized vocabulary to discuss anything about the given topic

Let's say vehicles. If the individual can name and effortlessly use basic parts of a car like wheels, seats, trunks, engines, headlights, etc. in a sentence, then I would definitely think of them as fluent

Sure those who have never owned or driven one may not know the right words, but they could still come up with the closest substitution

To be frank with you, I don't consider myself fluent in the language yet. There are so many things I haven't just spoken about but haven't even thought of using English. That being said, I'm glad to inform you that it's a work in progress. A year or two and this is gonna be checked as complete

[thorny steeple]

Fluency is being able to talk about every basic topic possible with grammar accuracy, plus having ability to read books of your interest and speaking about a long range of topics at a decent speed

I do not consider myself fluent in English because I lack a bit of basic things in the language such as talking about animals (I only know the basic like the name of their limbs and stuff) but come across something new about them everyday. Also, sometimes I lack some verbs to express myself as well as object names which I think I would have to properly know until start claiming to be fluent

[thorny steeple]

The first time that I see you saying something agreeable out of every communist delusion you have

[rancid elbow]

@thorny steeple Heey, bring your message back!

[thorny steeple]

I just said I need like 400 words more to become fluent (as active words) and to practice my reading abilities on smth new because all I read is humanities and some other academic stuff (and novels sometimes)

To add a new topic to read / study everyday would make me pass out the B2 level

Can I join the debate ?

[thorny steeple]

There isn't any debate going on

Just usual talks

[thorny steeple]

Ok ok chill !! I was just asking 🥲

[rancid elbow]

That's nice, I use Anki for that with my custom templates

[thorny steeple]

I use Anki too haha I need push for that C1 until I start making my way to Spanish fluency again

[rancid elbow]

No, you can't. What a silly question, of course you're free to join anytime you feel like

[onyx hazel]

So you have stereotypes about the communists. Every communist says that everything is biased, the libs are the ones who call themselves as neutral

[thorny steeple]

Okay thanks for clearing the doubt coz I am new to this group and I just felt that you guys are debating upon some topic.

[thorny steeple]

They aren't neutral either

No one is

[rancid elbow]

I kinda lost my track recently due to personal problems. Planning to make a big comeback tomorrow 🔥

[thorny steeple]

Picking a political side is literally picking the bias that you see as more accurate

Tbh I would call myself a moderate liberal if it weren't for their terrible geopolitical takes

I see myself more as a 3rd worldist social-democrat

[thorny steeple]

In Spanish? I've lost mine a long time ago

I intend to come back with books / anki cards / and somewhere to practice my grammar

[rancid elbow]

Unfortunately, in English. So you're saying I'm not the worst haha

[thorny steeple]

I kinda knew other Spanish server where they would have rooms like this but it was filled with annoying people

[thorny steeple]

Yes hahah I think Duolingo won't help you, Duolingo is for low-intermediates

[rancid elbow]

True. I adore reading mangas and stuff like that, this is where I mine new words

[thorny steeple]

Just pick up some books (even if you're not into reading) and read some articles on the internet about a variety of topics

[thorny steeple]

Nice

I've downloaded some Cowboy Bebop mangas but don't read them yet

[rancid elbow]

Same here, I've downloaded maybe hundreds of books and most of them remain unread... what a shame of me

[thorny steeple]

I'm not a good reader but I've read two this year (in English) because most things I read are available in my NL

[rancid elbow]

Makes sense. If you don't mind me asking, what OS do you use?

[thorny steeple]

I use Linux. Why?

[rancid elbow]

HELL YES, ME TOO

Ain't gonna flex but I use Arch btw (jkjk)

[gaunt bronze]

May I ask, is linux that penguin thing?

[rancid elbow]

Yes. It's actually a kernel. When people say Linux, however, they're referring to linux distributions

But I'm getting too technical

For now, all you need to know is that it's completely free and open source (welp, if we exclude proprietary blobs most systems won't run without... oops, unnecessary details, my bad)

Anyways, I gotta go. Catch you later!

[dusty granite]

[dusty granite]

Idk

https://tenor.com/view/travis-neil-primrose-neil-bored-boredom-gif-13992310461032048677

[balmy lava]

What book are you reading recently? I'm reading Chronicles of Narnia which is suitable for English learners

[rose eagle]

Evaluate education in your country, me first🤮

[thorny steeple]

Never enough

[sour marlin]

I see

[sour marlin]

What do u think about human trafficking

[balmy lava]

Same🤮

[thorny steeple]

Strange question. Have you ever seen anyone who'd say "Ahh, that's grand!"

[rose eagle]

We have memories so much

[sour marlin]

I just wanna know how many ppl are aware of it
I haven't seen tbh

[rose eagle]

History in my school is so boring

[thorny steeple]

What do you lads think of immigration?

[balmy lava]

History taught in class in my country be like:

[rose eagle]

Hm? I don't understand?

Wdym?

[balmy lava]

They teach fake and biased history, it's a kind of propaganda.

[thorny steeple]

Where are you from?

[balmy lava]

China

[thorny steeple]

Fair then

[rose eagle]

I'm from vietnam

Is very close

[thorny steeple]

What do you lads think of immigration?

An interesting topic, but you discuss schools and how boring they are.

[rancid elbow]

Your status has to be "him" to organize that and get away without a lawsuit

[rose eagle]

How do they teach about the Vietnam-China border war? (Sino-Vietnamese war)

[balmy lava]

I forgot

[balmy lava]

I think it's ok as long as it doesn't bother local people

[rose eagle]

Agree

[feral river]

Lmao

[rose eagle]

Hello my bro

[rose eagle]

Is that true?

[feral river]

They don’t teach fake history but they don’t show it

[rose eagle]

Are u study at public school?

[feral river]

All same on public and private school

Yes I’m

[rose eagle]

Oh ok

[rose eagle]

Watse of time and money

[thorny steeple]

Opposing immigration is useless as loads of talented and hard working people come to our country. On the other hand, I don't think immigration is good in some cases. We need legal migrants, who come to our country to work and live, not those who are going to do nothing, getting their social welfare.

[rancid elbow]

Quick question, is it true that almost everything western is blocked out there?

[feral river]

China doesn’t accept even one refugees

[feral river]

Nope

[rancid elbow]

What is though?

[feral river]

We study the American-European political system in our school

And we have our Wikipedia

[thorny steeple]

We don't need open borders, Sinn Fein is all about supporting migrants, doesn't matter legal or not, and that is sad, because I'd vote them as they want to get rid of housing crisis in our country, but they have to support legals, not those who come to get social payments and live for free.

And legals mostly don't get any support.

[balmy lava]

Wikipedia at home

[rose eagle]

A kid from a western country once asked me a stupid question that Vietnamese people don't migrate to China as much as Mexicans migrate to America while China is a great power.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[thorny steeple]

They have to come, rent a house, find a job and that's really hard as most landlords want you to have excellent references from the previous landlord, which you obviously won't have.

[feral river]

That’s bs

[rose eagle]

Will they shoot migrants as they loiter near the border?

[rancid elbow]

I couldn't agree more with you

[feral river]

We are great power != we need more foreign influences and useless people

[thorny steeple]

Are you lads taught how to use Ctrl C + Ctrl V?

[balmy lava]

Programmer

[rancid elbow]

A coder has been detected

[feral river]

We also taught how to use kali Linux to get someone’s information

[thorny steeple]

Are you spying me?

[rancid elbow]

Lmao

[feral river]

Nah

[thorny steeple]

What am I doing now?

[feral river]

I guess

[thorny steeple]

I don't need your guesses, just tell me

[feral river]

Who knows

[thorny steeple]

You

[feral river]

Why would I care

[rose eagle]

My father once went to the Vietnam-China border and there was electricity installed there and when he got close to it, a sharp voice chased him away.

[feral river]

Who tf thinks u r?

[thorny steeple]

You do 😦

[feral river]

China blocked discord

But I’m using VPN in mainland, and now I’m in South Korea

Totally legal

[rose eagle]

especially vietnamese anti china

[rancid elbow]

But you replied 'nope' to my question above, dafuq?

[rose eagle]

Why should we do that?

A bait question

[balmy lava]

Let's talk about what book are you guys reading recently

what textbook are you reading?

What language?

[thorny steeple]

I been thinking about reading fahrenheight 451

There's also I have no mouth and I must scream book

[balmy lava]

I heard of it, a sci-fi about AI

[thorny steeple]

Ye

[balmy lava]

233° Celsius

[feral river]

Discord = west ?

That’s a bs statement

No worries at all there are a lot of Chinese in South Korea

[thorny steeple]

It's from 1953

Fahrenheit 451

Read 1984

Play this war of mine

[feral river]

Nope but continuous proxy war

[thorny steeple]

That's bs

[feral river]

I believe that we can participate more proxy war soon for defending our interest externally

And expand Chinese territory

[balmy lava]

Sounds like fallout game

[feral river]

Yep

[thorny steeple]

Ye fallout 1

[feral river]

Be specific, the Republic of China

[thorny steeple]

Ye

[dapper laurel]

Sounds Great, we can create a new Europe-China axis and conquer Eurasia

[feral river]

PRC is people’s republic of China

ROC is republic of China or People’s China

[rose eagle]

What do you think about China wanting to occupy the entire South China Sea and spraying water cannons to chase away fishing boats from neighboring countries?

[sour marlin]

What?

[feral river]

That’s their English translation of 中华民国 based on government body not their name

[feral river]

That’s complicated to explain I know it but I’m making food for now

Let me explain it later

[rose eagle]

Ok

[rose eagle]

That's reason why vietnamese hate china goverment

[manic juniper]

Damn China doesn't want to leave anything to Indonesia and Philippines

[thorny steeple]

Ye

[manic juniper]

That border is almost inside Indonesia itself lol they want to fish on the country's land, that's insane

[thorny steeple]

They want everything

[manic juniper]

They can have the Baltic Sea, that thing is toxic and unliveable

[rose eagle]

Wtf??

[thorny steeple]

Well that's understandable

[manic juniper]

It's true, the Baltic Sea is ugly

[rose eagle]

Oh

[thorny steeple]

Isn't it great tbh for idk industry

[prisma cipher]

china haters are assembly

[manic juniper]

Yeah that's exactly why it sucks, all countries around it contributed to its toxicity and pollution and now it's almost lifeless and acidic

[thorny steeple]

When was it great?

[manic juniper]

It was okay before industrialisation or at least before WW1, most surrounding countries didn't have a significant industries or enough people before that time

[thorny steeple]

Understandable

[rose eagle]

Hmm?

Ok

[manic juniper]

https://www.marinefinland.fi/en-US/Nature_and_how_it_changes/State_of_the_Baltic_Sea/Harmful_substances

[feral river]

Well that’s normal if we have conflicts because we are a great power and you guys not

Even historically the state of Yue is still China or Viet is the puppet of Chinese empire

[rose eagle]

YeA

[thorny steeple]

Ye

[rose eagle]

That's vassal

[feral river]

You guys doesn’t really need to care that much but you guys own interest like economic development area in the water and territorial integrity

But what we need is to prepare to expand our territory, to expand our interests just like US in WW1 and WW2, to be a superpower and dominate the global order

[rose eagle]

Because Vietnam wanted peace with China, it accepted to give something to the Chinese government

[feral river]

That’s why we need nine-dash line, even now it’s more expanded

[rose eagle]

In anccent

[rose eagle]

Like america

[civic reef]

lmfao i swear some people here are straight up unhinged

[manic juniper]

Agreed

[dapper laurel]

Chronic use of social media

[idle hill]

not that straight up unhinged I think

[wet echo]

GN

[wet echo]

[thorn lagoon]

You should know that every great civilization and every world superpower/empire had been risen for some time and ultimate has its fall ,collapse and demise

[slim fjord]

It's serious chat 😾😾

No laugh

[thorny steeple]

the alien twerking lmfao

[dapper laurel]

Do you think that the hierarchy of roles is really useful to society?

[feral river]

yeah I know that so be a minor power and ready for annexation and colonization or just demise entirely.

there is no other choice, we will continue our way to be more powerful, not be more weaker.

survival for the fittest

if the world power can fall, what if a minor power or a non power ?

[thorn lagoon]

Yeah ,The usa is already declining

This ?

[mortal junco]

China is authoritarian and supports goverment control. These people are just anarchist and/or pacifist.

[silk glade]

Does smoking make u more confident

[mortal junco]

I don't smoke

[thorny steeple]

Maddison knows what people support in China better than the people of China 🤩

[thorny steeple]

yet USA is the top importer of Chinese products

[mortal junco]

People do what they do to make things cheaper :/

[thorny steeple]

nobody believes China is dangerous and does something like this

[mortal junco]

I believe China is a good business partner, but the US is pulling a cold war :/

[thorny steeple]

USA funds protests and coup in other countries lmao

operation xyz

when someone else do the same OMG!!! 😱

[mortal junco]

Ok? US and China has done a fair share of bad things in terms of "human rights".

[thorny steeple]

yeah stalemate

[feral river]

in China we have our views on human rights, not western human rights

that's completely different

[mortal junco]

Right.

That's why it's in quotes

[feral river]

westerners thinks elections and votes is democracy, but we think the decision were made based on people's willing is democracy.

[mortal junco]

Wdym by willing? Willings to move forward in society?

[feral river]

I mean the decision were made based on people's willing is democracy.

[mortal junco]

I see.

[thorny steeple]

i mean democracy IS based on peoples willing

[feral river]

you can use your vote to represent it, but your vote only proofs you have right not proof everything will be great.
