pet the cat, walk the dog

Oh please feel free to tell me how I’m wrong about things happening in my country, jackass.

You still fail to show how Buddhists in particular support child rape or even child marriage. From what I know of Buddhism, which is admittedly not that much, that religion says nothing of child marriage.

I’m gonna take a wild guess that you equate Buddhism to India, which is the region most widely known in the West for arranged marriages (outside of Muslim countries, at least). Well guess what, firstly, 0.7% of Indians are Buddhists. Secondly, the Hindu Marriage Act of 1955 prohibits brides under eighteen years of age from marrying, unless they’s fifteen and has parental consent — which is pretty much the same as is typical in the West. This act applies explicitly to all religions except Muslims, Christians, Parsis, and Jews.

Fun fact: that song only became a hit after having been included in David Lynch’s ‘Wild at Heart’ and then being played on radio by Lee Chesnut, fan of the director.

Who’s ‘they’? And what does arranged marriage have to do with child rape?

Could you reread your own comment and tell me who ‘they’ are, according to your grammar, and what their beliefs are? Namely, are ‘they’ the arranged brides who do in fact support arranged marriage?

Please demonstrate how Buddhism supports child rape.

My bet is that Trump wouldn’t be able to read a single Bible verse off a teleprompter, much less from memory.

As an old fart, I’m perpetually bothered by the fact that ‘rave crabs’ have nothing to do with ‘FotL’ and people wouldn’t understand me referencing the latter.

I’m pretty sure that compared to the US, the only relevant social program we have is cops chasing homeless people out of sight, as opposed to letting them hang out wherever.

Aside from universal healthcare, of course.

Exactly, this depends on the circumstances. E.g. cats tend to bury the waste so it doesn’t smell, while other territorial animals piss on everything in sight to mark the land. Nevertheless, when an animal is jumped by another, they often drop deuces all over while hitting the road dramatically. There’s a recent-ish clip on Reddit of two hippos fighting, wherein one of them decided to do the helicopter distribution of dung in the middle of the altercation.

I’m more partial toward ‘Watermelon Man’ reinterpretation from the same album.

Yeah, I’ve lumped them together in my mind, because subway is typically not called ‘train’ in my language. But the situation is about the same. Just looked it up: a subway car here has the ‘full capacity’ of over 300 people, commuter cars around the same, but probably less in practice. And the numbers sure push toward that during rush hour.

Not really, it’s well known that animals tend to shit and piss, dropping the weight and encumbrance, right before executing on the fight-or-flight response. People are likewise prone to soiling themselves in fear. So idk why it’s the other way around when just going on my walks, but I’m not gonna complain about it when my city doesn’t have many public toilets open at night.

Explain then how it is that there are no dirty smelly masturbating crazies on buses and subways in my country.

Crazies hang out doing crazy stuff in spaces that are conducive to such behavior. If normal people ride public transport because it’s expected that public transport accommodates normal people, then crazy behavior isn’t tolerated on public transport.

Oh suuuure. Except maybe you haven’t noticed, but I can read English, and peruse US-dominated social media. In the threads on mass transit it’s always “truly these are complex and multifaceted problems”, and then outside that thread it’s “I had to use subway today with all the masturbating weirdos like a peasant”.

That always sounded to me like a chicken-egg problem. People don’t use buses and subways, because buses and subways are populated by weird dirty hobos. Well guess what…

In my unscientific experience, if I’m on the go as in walking, the piss can be kept in for an hour and more. If I stop, I don’t think willpower alone will prevent me from pissing myself. So the dance is probably simulating the conditions of being too busy for a toilet break.

Buses seem to be shafted in that comparison by the fact that no one uses them in the US. Where I am, a bus gets just seven passengers only in the middle of the night. At other times, buses would be easily at the top of the table if not for the fact that our trains also move more than twenty people per car.

I’ve been a fan of Laswell for about twenty years, and it’s fascinating to dig through his catalog and see how easy production comes to him, how he always had his fingers in a lot of projects and how he gathered a whole bunch of other musicians in his orbit. ‘Future Shock’ also has Nicky Skopelitis, who did guitar on some of Material’s albums and was in The Golden Palominos with Laswell, and whom Laswell pretty much dragged from one project to another for decades.

Eraldo Bernocchi is another illustrative example. He had an ambient project with some dudes, released something like four records, and then did a collaboration with Laswell, inevitably falling into his gravitational sphere. After that all of Bernocchi’s later releases in the project and under his own name were clearly marked by Laswell’s methods and the library of sounds and effects, even without latter’s involvement.

Huh? With my ears, normally.
