That's a good point.

But many SW prohibitionists want to implement the Nordic model. Puritan illegality isn't really popular.

I always use psydonyms on WhatsApp and change them from time to time.

That's why some colleagues associate me w. the particular psydonym of which they first DMed me on.

Yea, for it's time they were decent.

That YouTube genre professionalised and raised it's standards over the years.

Like instead of just giving shallow bullet points of info and mostly being presentation that just read off Wikipedia, they turned into full on analysis of the topics.

Maybe it's a Brits thing.

When I looked up the Wikipedia article of Scottish YouTuber Count Dankula, it surprisingly said that he converted to Eastern Orthodox Christianity:

Sometimes articles that aren't that nuanced and cautious when covering about him feels like this.

chikubisteel.bsky.social @chikubisteel.bsky.social · 16h

Understandable.

Personally, I'm still wary of him.

Are we currently just projecting what we want him to do or will he really lead Syria in a more liberal, western-aligned and democratic future?

Currently he tries to strengthen his position and stabilize Syria. His exact vision for it yet unclear.

Second Thought really dropped off hard, when he stopped doing edutainment vids and more tankie us vs. them style videos.

They could ditch the Russian base by having US backing & military interest in a stsble Syria if this deal comes to fruition.

The German model is flawed though.

I'm not for criminalisation or criminalising buying sex work like the Nordic model, but the German needs some reforms to protect the prostitutes, combat human trafficking, pimping and coerced prostitution.

But some stuff are really great like welfare projects to rehabilitate prostitutes, because most do it involuntarily and having no perspective.

Read about it a lot, about the Nordic model.

But it kinda felt a bit flawed.

Yes it made the negatives of prostitution lower.

But the remaining one is hidden from the public eye and maybe also divert the problem to other countries via sex tourism.

are you ready for lore time

The text reads follows:
Title: (Spindle) Lore Drop: Ears & Eyes.

Human:
- Regular ol' human ears and eyes.
- Ears have moderate circulation
- Eyes favouring colour accuracy over contrast and motion compared to elven eyes.
- Regular ol' pupils

Half-Elves:
- More horizontal with rounded tips
- Less rigid; pliable
- Inherently more capable to be wiggled on command
- Reflect the emotion of the person: Wiggle when suddenly alert; droop when in fear or sad; turn upwards when excited.
- Higher blood flow due to more capillary veins- causing them to be warmer to touch and more sensitive.*
- Eyes have the same iris pattern as humans, but the pupil is usually white**

Elves:
- More vertical and bend backwards
- As rigid as human ears
- Wiggle ability same as humans
- The only reflected emotion is sadness and/or fear. (Droopy)
- Fewer capillary veins and slightly "colder" ears
- Eyes have the same iris pattern as humans, but the pupil is usually white**
- Unlike half-elves which see colour slightly better (still not as good as humans), elves see them less, but have superior contrast and motion vision.

*Elves evolved in cold (and mostly) snowy regions, leading to more efficient heat conservation, and fewer surface capillaries to minimize
heat loss. (elf ears being bigger than human ears played a role as well, as more heat would be lost otherwise).
Humans tend to have more moderate circulation, but half-elves, due to the mixed lineage, retain the heat conservation part of elves and
the higher capillaries count of humans; with a higher count than humans simply due to size. This leads half-elves to have much warmer
ears that are more sensitive to temperature changes (and to touch). This played a big role in why half-elves specifically tend to be very
personal about their ears; if one allows you to touch it means trust, nibbling means unwavering love.

Nother reason to hate all these cretins who decide that UAE and Dubai are good holiday destination.

I won't be posting the videos because they are gut wrenching. Yes. The RSF besieged a town in the region where the black minority lives, and now that the town has falled they are mass murdering all black people they can find.
