I see the delusion takes precedence. I respect it.

I never experienced the 90s...

Wow! I can't even imagine that... It sounds a little depressing, but also really awesome and a true privilege to witness someone grow up.

Getting older... There's a creaking in my bones... 2020 was 5 years ago...

I might be a little too old for this particular match...

My dad helped me shave my face, it's really not very different. It's just personal grooming.

Holy shit that sucks... Something?

Yeah, sure... My understanding of philo-semitism really isn't that it implies blind support for genocidal efforts, though.

That being said, I was really just commenting on the word itself, not the news article.

Not to tell you how to live your life - and do take note that I don't know you or your dad personally - but this sounds like a piece of generational trauma that you have the opportunity to get rid of. Best of luck!

I'd assume the term would be semitiphilism.

Looking it up, Judeophilia would be a word for philo-semitism as well.

 

This question came about over a discussion my brother and I had about whether dogs should be on leashes when outside. We both agreed that yes, they should, for several reasons, but that's not the point.

Let's use a hypothetical to better illustrate the question. Imagine that there's a perfume - vanilla, for example - that doesn't bother you at all (you don't like nor dislike it), but that is very upsetting to some people, and can even cause some adverse reactions (allergies or something). In this hypothetical, based on the negative effects, you agree that vanilla perfumes should be banned. Currently, however, they are allowed.

You're walking down the street, and randomly smell someone passing you by and they're wearing a vanilla perfume.

Would that upset you? Why, or why not?


My answer is yes, without a doubt. Even though the smell itself doesn't bother me, the fact someone would wear that perfume and not only potentially upset others, but put them in danger, is upsetting.

My brother, however, would say no! He couldn't explain his reasoning to me.

I know this is a little convoluted, but I hope I got my question across.
