Hot water is pretty easy to cool. Just leave it in a vessel in a cool place and come back later.

Water in streams, lakes, rivers, and springs is pretty much always a lot cooler than the air. Unless it’s a very small pond or a puddle, water is pretty cool, especially if you go deeper than just the surface to take your water.

If I broke into your house holding a knife would it be morally wrong for you to hide in the wardrobe?

He was Norwegian, and only denied entry, not kidnapped.

Oh. At what point does harmless tourism become mass tourism?

More like if you are planning a trip to a place that already suffers from overtourism, don’t.

Every now and then I think about how rich I could get if it weren’t for morals…

• market a free ai ‘girlfriend’ app
• users become attached to their bots
• turn it into a subscription service

yeah if that doesn’t happen I’ll eat my boots.

Strange is the world of bigotry.

Its purpose isn’t to be aesthetically pleasing. Trans people and POC are constantly discriminated against by other queers, and intersex people rarely are even acknowledged to exist at all, let alone treated as anything else than disgusting or sex object.

Pretty much yes. If you look at a map, you’ll notice that most cities, especially old (like old old) ones are next to or near water sources. There are, of course, other reasons for this as well: building a settlement by water will also give you the opportunity to use boats, for transportation and shipping. Merchant cities tend to be by seas and oceans, because transporting cargo by ships is much more efficient than by land, especially before airplanes. Then there’s fishing, crop irrigation, and just that humans like bodies of water.

But also, what do you exactly mean by water bottle? Because water transportation and storage vessels have been around for quite a while, and aqueducts have been built by various civilisations across history.

I don’t really know if I’d consider the French revolution very succesful, considering the fact that the Bourbon dynasty was restored after only 16 years.

I’d say that being distruptive is what we should be discussing about. Strikes or boycotts, when organized well, can be examples of non-violent can actually work, while holding a sign in a park doesn’t do anything.

literally 1984 😔

I just came indoors

well where the hell could I go

And now in June, we celebrate the queer community’s liberation, which totally happened by walking up to a politician and asking “hey can we please not get assaulted and thrown into prison or a mental ward for existing? 🥺”, to which the politician responded “oh, I’ve spent my entire life thinking you guys were perverted mentally ill sinners that should be drawn and quartered, but sure! ☺️”

Oh, but it’s use of force and not violence when we do it!

Also I’d say that peaceful and violent aren’t binary. Like, there’s standing somewhere holding signs without being distruptive, then there’s civil disobedience like blocking traffic without being actually violent, then there’s protests where protestors will use violence to defend themselves if they have to without actively seeking to engage in violent acts, and then there’s straight up rioting, where people go out their way to attack people, or smash windows or burn cars and shit.

And, of course, it varies from person to person. If there’s protest X happening, one person could think of is as violent (or call it violent as a way of propaganda) while one person wouldn’t.

my fucking ass 👅🥾

Bolsheviks, Stonewall riots, suffragettes, all famously peaceful movements that got their rights by staying on their knees and asking nicely.
