  • Well, context definitely matters. We don’t know what you did, how you did it, if she was with her bf, how sane was her bf etc etc. I don’t want to negate your personal experience but I doubt it was just normally casually “talking to a girl” that got you in trouble in a normal situation.

    Also 2015 is almost 10 years ago, it’s not really accurate to define it as the current situation.

    As for my source, I’m white, my wife is Korean, my ex was Korean, and I hang out alone with female Korean friends a lot. Some very old grandpa may be not very happy about skinship in public, but that’s all. Never to the extent of being attacked or harassed, it’s usually just looking at us a bit with a grumpy face.

    This being said, it’s not all perfect. Some families may be less open than others in accepting a marriage with a foreigner (old generations, young people just think it’s cool usually). And not only about white people. The mom of a friend was grumpy about her son marrying a Japanese girl, for example (even if he lives in Japan) But even so, nowdays is rarely open hostility.

    Of course idiots are everywhere. So I’m pretty sure there are young guys saying “white guys steal our women!1!!” and getting angry.

    Also, an important note is that these days the fight between “feminist” Korean women and men against them is getting bigger. This can influence especially the mind of young men. I was approached by a Korean boy asking me about how women are in my country because all Korean women sucks and are terrible. In that context, I’m sure some guy will use dating a foreigner as an excuse to say how shit and easy Korean girls are.

    Anyway, exceptions aside the average population is pretty much fine with it, especially in big cities. It’s not like Korean men don’t like white women too, after all.

    Sorry if this is too long, but we’re all here to share knowledge about those countries anyway




  • The guy still think that logic didn’t evolve past Aristotle and basic syllogisms, even after a couple of millenia, and argues about a supposed Socrates logic (?) that involves them (???)

    They have no idea what they’re talking about other than some random information that they found online, probably. I wouldn’t expect any kind of real logical argument from there.

    The funniest thing is that you showed them a perfect example of socratic reductio ad absurdum, but it completely flew over their head because they are too busy trying to argue about syllogisms…




  • That specific word in Italian has multiple meanings, one of which being something like “excessive/useless detail or addition, especially when done for the cool factor only” and another being “gayness”.

    Without the full context of the sentence, it’s very hard to say what he meant or what he was saying.

    Of course the word is still originating from the slur and shouldn’t be used by the pope, but it’s technically possible that wasn’t even used in relation to any minority (just as much as the opposite)

    Unless I missed some extra info or source that has the full context, it’s hard to say





  • You suggested them to read Nietzsche and from it you got he mourns the decline of religion through all of his works? Maybe you should also get a re-read.

    The decline of religion is stated as a fact, killed by men’s rationality and evolution. As any evolution it has opportunities and risks, in this case the bigger risk is the loss of morality.

    But the only thing he clearly advocates for is overcoming religion and God because they are not needed anymore. The new Man should make its own meaning and rules.

    It’s the whole concept of the übermensch which is the single central point of his all system.

    The quote is not supposed to be his opinion (not directly at least), it’s a character in a story.

    It’s like taking the stance of Cephalus in the Plato’s Republic and say it’s Plato’s opinion, while it’s clearly just a tool to let Socrates speak.

    Oh, then I’m glad I’ve been helpful! Of course it doesn’t stop the yeast completely, but it hinders it.

    About the oil, that’s interesting. Maybe it’s different in other countries because of different availability. Here in Italy it’s always used (similar amount to salt but 1~2% of the flour weight more compared to salt) Of course only extravirgin olive oil, not sure about the results with other oils

    I usually add it last, after flour, salt, water and yeast.

    Some pizzas also have some fresh oil on them after cooking, but dipping is too daring for my weak traditional heart.

    But if the results aew good, that’s all that matters

    Is there a reason why you’re not using oil for the dough? Also (probably you already do but I’ll say for people reading) never mix salt and yeast directly, one should be added only when the other is already absorbed and well mixed. Salt contrast yeast chemical reactions. A simple way is to melt salt in the water beforehand






  • There are a few technical problems with that. First of all, the cost of each instance would become quickly unbearable since everyone has all the duplicated data.

    Second problem, a malign entity could just come, create its own instance, spam everything and everyone with ads or whatever and suddenly every instance is full of that stuff. Also, how do you handle defederating in that case?

    What has been proposed before instead was to make some kind of mega communities that gather all posts from communities with the same name across instances



  • Italians where also the ones that invented the republic, so what?

    Fascism was and will always be a disgrace in Italian history, but maybe you should research Piazzale Loreto to see how much people ended up liking fascism in the end.

    Of course there are extremist idiots in Italy like in any other country, but Italy official position on it was made very clear.

    Even making a fascist group or association is literally a crime in Italian law.

    This doesn’t change that the current situation is very bad of course, but right wing populism and fascism are not nearly the same thing, even if one could lead to the other
