Straight just used to be a synonym for heterosexual, as opposed to gay and homosexual. But I do think it kind of has broadened to be the opposite of queer, or a synonym for cis het.

So yes in the old sense, perhaps no in the changing sense. A heterosexual t4t couple still challenges cishet gender norms etc

I think as you say if we can terraform Mars we should be terraforming earth first. And if we’re that advanced there might be reason to choose Ganymede, Titan or even Venus over Mars. Venus sounds crazy but it might be easier to change a hostile atmosphere to a habitable than build one completely on Mars. Venus is just a bit less gravity than Earth. Low gravity is a problem on those two moons (but also Mars) but also I think they have magnetic fields which might be good (which Mars and Venus lack).

Dr Eleanor Janega was saying on a podcast that in the Middle Ages the colosseum was over grown with ivy and plants, with wild animals etc. Which would have been cooler. But yeah where you do draw the line on maintaining it versus creating a new thing.

Rest not inertia is the best way I’ve heard it described. Napping in bed. Not doomscrolling. Etc

A woman is a land of contrasts.

Though the answer to the matt Walsh one is “someone who identifies as a woman, in good faith”

A historically accurate Steve Rogers would have never put the uniform back on in the 20th /21st century and instead became a Maoist third world-ist.

Facts, his parents were Irish immigrants to New York in the early 20th century. At the bare minimum that means fleeing English colonial genocide and at the most possibly Irish Republican and socialist sympathies. His mother was a seamstress in New York, an often unionised and radicalized occupation due to events like the triangle waist factory fire.

Steven was such an anti-fascist that he wanted to fight Nazis in 1941 before the USA had joined the war. He then fought Nazis all over the globe, alongside the USSR (and even saved Stalin’s life). He then went into the ice in 1945, missing the USSR being made the villains in the Cold War and the US recuperating the Nazis in the GDR and with operation paper clip.

And due to the sliding time scale even more USA war crimes happen before he comes out of the ICE (roughly always 1-2 decades ago).

Yeah but he actually phoned them up when they were bombing Lebanon in 80s and told them to knock it off.

Reagan was to the left of her on Israel

It’s been a while since I looked into but I think it’s not a rule at a national level, but the canton police have significant flexibility on whether they approve applications for semi-automatic rifles and handguns. So one place might have requirements that another might not.

But for all manually operated firearms it’s pretty cruise-y.

Edit: the more I look into there’s lot of different permits with overlap, shall issue or must issue etc. Swiss bureaucracy. Etc. But I guess my point is like if a persons want a pump action shotgun or a bolt action rifle they’d get it very quickly, and be able to keep it at home with ammo, for more complicated guns it might be harder.

They have all their national service stuff but they also have surprisingly lax options for private ownership of guns and ammunition as well (basically just a background check no registries or significant restrictions). It’s just only a small number of people actually do it.

Oh it’s a fine username (I assume having already forgot). For some reason I keep forgetting it.

Your old username hits my brain and slides off like water. It’s gone moments after I see it.

Never masturbated with my peers, but every single LAN party I was at had a late-night porn watching, comparing and sharing aspect that was kind of homoerotic in hindsight.

Whomst among us?

These people suck and should be put in the contraption but it is baffling as an Australian that people in other countries just don’t tap their credit card oncw the machine one and it’s done.
