  • The monarch family in question has a convicted rapist (aka Temu Jeffrey) and the wife of the king (more known as Queen.Nette Marit) has some rather questionable by ties and contacts to Epstein. It’s her son by different marriage/family that is the rapist.

    So - in no shapes, events, terms or folding of space did Temu Joffrey (Marius Borg Høiby) get into rape vicinity of Epstein. And I beboerne er can rule out lesbian rape by the now Queen.

    Meaning these two things (rape and Epstein vicinity of unknown intimacy) exist, but the vend diagram is not touching






  • I believe a golf club is an everyday object, yet i am not sure more people have golf clubs than they have shotguns. They could. I do not know.

    Regarding penis and warnings about them, I think it’s mostly about “this is a picture you should not open in a work setting”, and not “you could feel triggered by seeing this”. And it gives an excellent thought experiment - if a rape victim is triggered by a picture of a penis, flaccid or erect, should a picture of a flaccid penis have a trigger warning?

    I believe it should not. But it could have NSFW marked, as many offices frown upon displaying large images of genitalia in your cubicle.

    Meaning I do not believe content warnings as a whole should be abolished, but some trigger warnings should not exist.

    No. We can’t have trigger warnings for everything as there is always someone who might be triggered by something. Real or fake.

    Some triggers can be universally agreed upon.

    It is of course horrible that you have had experiences that can cause discomfort from seeing a picture, reading a book, watching a film. I do not know your backstory.

    I do however have my own experience feeling discomfort from a seemingly “normal” thing. My father died and in order to get my mind off this event I went to watch (I believe) Bad Guys 2 where there is a scene where dead bodies were used to smuggle cocaine. It was I a humorous setting as most Will Smith movies are. I didn’t care for it then and felt discomfort - even though Weekend at Bernie was hilarious when I watched it 15 years prior.

    My point is right as I felt discomfort and was triggered, I simultaneously understood that everybody else in the cinema at the same time I was there did not feel this way. It was a unique experience for me at that point in time. I can’t expect everyone else to walk over eggshells around me, especially if they do not know me.

    A former colleague of mine was after 10 years as a widow still triggered if someone mentioned something in the vicinity of drowning as this was his horrible death. It was obviously difficult for her, but to expect colleagues (new and old) to never mention something that could trigger her for 10 years is over the top. As horrible as it is. People die, and you have to work on it. You can’t expect the rest of the world to do the work for you.

    Which circles back to you. We can’t have trigger warnings on everything because you have had a horrible experience. You have to work on it. We do not. Especially as we do not know you.

    For you its guns. For someone else it could be an axe. Or powder or a large syringe. Or a bottle of whisky. Everyday objects can’t have trigger warnings.

    A shotgun is an everyday object, even if the barrel in the picture is pointing towards you. I think most objects or topics should not have trigger warnings, but that’s a different topic.

    But I do hope you get better and help to deal with your triggers. Best of luck!









  • If you define economics as have and have-not, they obviously had economics. Who are he to tell us that bartering didn’t happen on any scale within a tribe of cro magnom.

    I think the point being is that economics is a large scale class system with fairly complex structures. There’s always been have and have-nots. Just look at a pride of lions on how they distribute the feeding based upon ranks within the pride. It’s not economics, but it’s s class based system with distributed means (i.e access to food).

    So maybe all of nature is oppress or being oppressed in a way. We just industrialised it.
