I've heard people (admittedly only online) advocating for surgery for trans minors, the main argument being that puberty has such a big impact that an earlier surgery often means a much more effective result.

(This is just from memory, I might be getting stuff wrong)

One of the funniest memories from when I was travelling (around 2017) was many tourists holding up their giant tablet devices, fumbling with them to try take photos of things.

This happens in a lot of countries. For me I noticed it particularly with young people in Germany, and pretty much anyone in Norway.

Can make it slightly frustrating when actively trying to learn the language by speaking with people 😅

As a counter example, I managed to make friends with a Swiss person while elsewhere in Europe, and then later in my travels got to visit them in Switzerland for a few days. My time there was truly one of the most breathtaking and memorable experiences of my trip.

Maybe it's expensive, maybe Europeans are "cold" personality wise, but God damn they have got some incredible scenery.

To be fair, the first despicable me was decent imo. But the abominations which followed...

Fake nails. I have nothing against people who wear them, but for some reason it just instantly makes me think we are not compatible at all.

If it's the SpongeBob squarepants theme then it's ok. In fact that's a bonus.

Isn't doing things to avoid boredom exactly what a hobby is? :D would you consider hiking to be a hobby?

Anyone can clearly see if edits have been made, and I have not made any. Please don't fabricate lies.

Isn't it?

When those are just the precursors to the horrible murder, I'd have to say yes, magnitudes worse.

And I never asked you to explain why rape is awful, I never disagreed with that. I wanted you to explain why it being a precursor to murder, makes it magnitudes worse than murder. But for some reason you insist on pretending that I'm asking "why is rape awful"??

I'm not sure why you are being so condescending. I'm well aware how brutal rape can be, I'm also aware how brutal murder can be. But this doesn't explain the logic of yours that I wanted to understand, which was that "when rape includes murder, then rape is magnitudes worse than murder alone".

Ah ok. I was thinking of specific instances rather than an indefinitely long situation, so I see where you are coming from now.
