It is not supposed to be painful. If it is, then talk to a health professional.

Do not force yourself to have sex if it is painful! That might give you an aversion to it

If you are not old enough to do that without parents, then see if there is a school nurse, or other services for young people.

FYI: I am a man, but I know that women are supposed to enjoy sex.

Induction heating is fantastic. However, it is important to note that there are many types of induction stovetops. and the biggest advantage is from those that are really powerful that uses a lot of watts at the time. That's the difference between almost instantly hot and hot a bit faster than the regular electric stove top.

Norwegian have forgårs which means the day before yesterday. It's used a lot, it's surprising English does not have a word for this. Is the most common way: 2 days ago?

German humor. (Yes, seriously)

They joke about efficiency/optimization etc. One of them is a man visiting a small grocery shop with the intention of buying some olives.

It start by him asking the price for a glass of olives. What about two? What about 5? etc. prices per glass goes down for each increase.

Then you see him leaving the shop with several large boxes of olives.

  1. You pay for Mullvad.
  2. Mullvad makes a little bit of profit
  3. Profit goes in large part to one of the two co-owners
  4. Co-owner donates huge sums to a very right wing, incredibly racist party. This is not "just" a party that has some racism. It is a true nationalistic racist party with despicable politics.

So paying for Mullvad indirectly funds this party.

I thought the claim of a growing population sounded implausible, so I wanted to dig a bit into it.

The growth argument seems to originally stem from future estimates from CIA World Factbook. Now no longer available. The claim of 2,02% was the basis of a social media post that went viral, and has been debunked a couple of places I found

It seems hard to find actual numbers or current estimates made by reliable sources for any given year, which is not surprising when:

  • 1.47 million of about 2.17 million Gazans are registered as refugees (2024).

  • West Bank is 3.19 million with 0.91 million registered refugees (2024)

  • 70% of Gaza is under Israeli occupation

  • Vast areas, hospitals, schools, infrastructure etc. are destroyed

I find it hard to believe that the population has grown. 1% of the Palestinian population is about 55 000. The usual growth is 2-3% IIRC. So about 110 000 yearly. Which can very roughly translate to 220-300 000 over 2 or 330-400 000 over 3 years.

The direct death toll is at least 81 000. Directly wounded more than 170 000. Indirect deaths is something else entirely. Estimated to many times the direct death toll. Under rubble, famine, disease etc.

If death toll is higher than normal population increase for the period. That means one of the following:

  1. Palestinians got more or the same amount of offspring. Is that likely when half the population is living as refugees?
  2. The population declined.

I want to add something at the end, famines are a lot more destructive than one might assume. It does generational harm due to epigenetics.

I don't have more time to spend on this unfortunately, it is mentally taxing, and I don't have the energy to do this justice and research it properly. So please excuse any inaccuracies.

Define genocide

Their demographics show an insane amount of children. 44% is between 0-14 years. This "war" is basically a mass murdering of children.

 

My philosophy is that in order to get good habits that save the climate and environment there has to be non-ideological benefits. Money, laziness, reliability, etc.

Reframing actions is in my opinion the right way forward. At least to help others into doing the right things. I am excited to hear your ideas.

FYI: Norway

Repair Avoid the work of finding the replacement, period of not being able to use it, getting rid of the packaging/trash etc. Not being able to use a smartphone or PC is incredibly frustrating. Repair is faster than sending it in to the seller. Money is also a bonus.

No car No car is simply to avoid stress, maintenance, parking, and of course money.

Buying used Used is often nice as it saves me the time to build the IKEA furniture, delivery to my door, cheaper etc.

Selling used Can get rid of large items without carrying it out. Not having have to take it to the recycling center.

Growing herbs Simply higher quality, and always having it available

Public transit Able to focus on something else than driving. I prefer playing games, reading, etc. Safer. Cheaper. Also more walking which gives health benefits.

Apartment living Close to no maintenance, a house is soooo much work. Not something I am willing to spend my life doing (I have tried).

Airtravel Meh, too many hurdles. Should be a really good reason or very long distances on rare occasions. For shorter distances trains is a lot more comfortable. An airplane is far from the hour you spend in the air. It includes the waiting, security, boarding, travel to airport etc. I'd rather travel and stay a place for multiple weeks, not going through all those hurdles for a weekend or only a week, atleast 2-3 weeks, preferably longer.

More ideas?
