I just skipped over it, it says that the contamination is highly variable depending on the place. Which might not be that surprising, when it comes to motorized traffic. What is the physics or chemistry behind vegetables and fruit grown close to city streets in comparison to rural streets? Are there simply more cars per day passing by that is the problem? Air flow? Or have the regulatory (EU) limits been lowered since the 1980s?

The city can "keep" contaminations better than rural areas?

What do you mean? It's exactly the same lol

>The city can "keep" contaminations better than rural areas?
Well you have to consider the dwelling time of a given pollutor. In a city you have a lot of pollutors on a small area, perpetually.
On a highway you have less pollutors at nights because less people are commuting and trucks are sleeping, plus people on the highway move faster through the area, wheras in a city it's usually stop and go, and acceleration costs more gas and thus produces more dirt than going straight at a constant speed like the autobahn. Some people going very fast might burn a lot of gas, but I out of a first impulse I would say a truck passing a crop field on a highway will leave less dirt along the 300 meter of field (plus higher dispersion because more room) than when it's moving the same distance in a city where the 300m might be two turns around a block, plus traffic lights and brake-accelerate cycles.

Then of course in cities you have all those areas where there might have been industry so the soil is already contaminated, or people using certain spots as designated trash dumps, all the dog and cat shit, trash everywhere (incl. smoking residues), and so on. There was a reason the plague could spread so well in cities.

>>14863
>What do you mean?

Air flow that might have an impact or other variables that might impact chemical reactions. I'm not an expert in either hence the question.

>>14864
Air flow in cities is definitely different than outside of cities.
In fact, city climate can be very different from rural climate, though that effect is more pronounced in bigger cities with higher buildings.

That is what my dancing experience prior to taking classes boils down to.

>that can make you appear overeager.

I dance a variety of street dance, apparently. Usually, these are cool? I'd say dancing is intimidating because it demands being comfortable and secure with your body and its movements.

>Generally, I think condemning artistic expression as unmanly is very negative for the well-being of men.

Yes, though that appears to be the case only for certain artistic expressions. Many men are and have been very successful artists without being perceived as unmanly, probably the majority of them.


>But as someone who doesn't really know how to dance, I can't say I haven't welcomed it.

You posted an article snap that said TikTok is antisemitic and asked me why I am. Logically, I have to tell you that I am not an app, not sure why you think I am but I'm not surprised by some of your intellectual merits anymore, fam.

I talked about richkid climate idiots, I never said anything about whether (some) farmers are turbocapitalists or not, but that was not the point. And some post on reddit is hardly proof for anything. I only read the title anyway because it told me thst comments had been deleted, and I refuse to allow all scripts to see what some asshole on reddit writes.
But you being the dishonest prick you are of course had to go all in with, yes, whataboutism.
>b-but muh rich farmers!!!1

The thing people like you don't understand is that you are only playing into the hands of the big companies. Provided the link you posted is indeed legit, these kind of farmers are not the majority, but they will rise in share when the smaller ones are dying, and then everything will be consolidated into a few large conglomerates. And you are supporting that. And why? I don't know, hatred for life maybe.

>>14095
>and then everything will be consolidated into a few large conglomerates.

Let me guess, the AFD will revert capitalism and not lick the floor clean with their tongues to roll out a red carpet for entrepreneurs who produce wealth for this country. Why are people like you allowed to vote, you don't know what is good for capital and thus the country.

Imagine being such a petty asshole that you jump to the new thread to carry on with your bullshit instead of using the perfectly fine old thread.
You should become a gluer, you have that certain attention whoring attitude.

This was an attempt made by my very ambitious, shrewd and family-politically scheming auntie.
The daughter in question is from a family of her friends, which means that if I went for it, I'd have fallen under her political influence.

That's not a transactional relationship, that's an extractional relationship.

I thought you were muslims, couldn't you just tell your aunt to stfu?

There would have been gains and losses on both sides, it would have been transactional!

>There would have been gains and losses on both sides

I'd wager there would have been mostly losses on the bricks side.

My great-great-grandmother forced close to 80% of her numerous children from multiple husbands and one extramarital affair to marry for economical gain. These marriages were mostly unhappy.

She then found ways to funnel the wealth she herself had gained by marriage and the wealth her less-favorite children had gained by marriage to her favorite children, mostly her youngest son, who died a wealthy man, despite being a drinker and an intense idiot who once gave away an entire house while drunk.

The Brick is adviced to rather stay single then to enter into a marriage arranged by his aunt.

>Other returning Vietnam veterans, meanwhile, were coping with the challenges of reintegrating into an America society
>implying white veterans were not coping with reintegrating. they got home and got busy and
> engineered
> the white resurgence

Veterans came back and struggled with reintegration and one way to reintegrate and cope with the changes and challenges faced in post 1968 US for them was apparently to fuse the thoughts a white ethnic revival discourse with methods from the culture wars of black people and women and their vocabulary (+ making use of the therapeutic turn and its methods/vocabulary to make meaning of what happened to them)

So while you think that the authors think these people did not struggle and cope and with returning from the war, the author describes exactly HOW they did struggle and cope with their return.

Nobody ever said (or implied) anything about commies or trannies or whatever else you are obsessed with, you projecting imbecile.

What are you gonna do next, call me a schizo? Because everyone who doesn't agree with you is a schizo, because that's what you were going for, right? It's you, isn't it? Now go and post the newspaper Homer so we cen get it over with.

>>13442
I don't hate yor posts or you, I just don't read them because they're boring.

Except when you post reactionary rhetoric.
But you're a Hungarian, and reactionaryism is your nature due to genetics and proximity to central Europe (central Europe contains large deposits of nazioactive minerals that emit high energy reactionary particles that cause ideological mutations in the proletariat)

But as a Communist I believe in the supremacy of human will over nature, so reactionary poisoning can be corrected with human intervention. That is, beatings.

>>13456
>Because everyone who doesn't agree with you is a schizo

No, I think that you specifically are a schizo. Glad we could talk about it.

Read books. It's that simple. Imageboards actively damage one's English skills due to all the dirty non-natives.

>Read books. It's that simple.

Did you specifically mean novels or books in general?
I consume a lot of English language media already. Mainly academic but still. That said I think novels can be challenging vocabulary wise. Maybe I should read more novels. English language poetry I imagine can also be a pain in the ass depending on whom you read but I assume it is there were you can run quickly into not knowing words.

I had to write an English research proposal and after finishing, I ran it through chatgpt and every paragraph was basically fine but the details made it really "native" sounding and I knew all the suggested vocabulary changes. A bit frustrating. My passive vocabulary is quite good. Some phrases and special fields vocabulary lacks, though. The latter is not really a problem as long as my special field is known to me.

>>13312
Academic papers are limited in their vocabulary by their nature. Go read Confederacy of Dunces if you haven't already.

Going to the army and losing a limb is technically an IRREVERSIBLE identity-affirming surgery.

tired of veteran propaganda in mass media. especially veteran pride parades. look, I don't care what you do as long as it's in the privacy of your own home

did you know that 99% of veterans who go through IRREVERSIBLE identity affirming surgery regret their decision and want to de-veteranize?
Worse, they want US to pay for their medical bills. NOT ON MY TAXPAYER DOLLARS

True, well-done plastic surgery is just for evening out irregularities, but those that overdo it, overdo it horribly, and often so unnecessary.
Take Emily Blunt, a beautiful woman, with really attractive armpits and a beautiful smile.
There was absolutely no reason at all for her to get lifted, she's only 40 or something.
On the other hand, Salma Hayek and Monica Bellucci most certainly had something done, but you wouldn't notice.

I did some more editing and research today. Found two potentially promising books. Started assembling the bibliography.
Finally got a frame for the Chinese calligraphy I have. It will look nice on the wall once I find a spot for it.

My father was cleaning out some stuff at my mother's request. We found an old iPod among the masses of cables and I took it into my care out of utter fascination. The battery holds an okay charge, but the hard drive is fucking dead because I can hear it click when I try to restore it.
Looking it up, it wouldn't be all that hard to just fix it myself. Just need to pop it open, pull out the drive and then insert an media-card interface thingy and then an SD card ultimately. Seems like a fun little summer project. I wonder if my father would find it cool that I fixed it on my own.

I stayed home and did work here because I washed my hair and I didn't want to risk catching a cold in the wind if I fail to dry like a random spot or curl.
Though I do realise that this is a cope on my part mostly. The reality is that there were no groceries at home and I didn't want to eat out, so I just made do with some coffee and two slices of bread.

My sleep was very troubled for the past two or so days. It's not even that I had odd dreams. I sort of enjoy having odd dreams because whenever I happen to remember one it always gets me in an interpretative mood. Why way my brain fascinated with this?
No, this is just rolling around and feeling like I'm in an oven on a ship.
Maybe it's the winds.

Got a letter about Erasmus scholarships. Gonna read it tomorrow. I'm still determined to spend some time abroad for my own sake.
I'm honestly feeling motivated. It's about me. I need to do something small every day instead of waiting for a manic phase to save me.

There I am, dreaming about my female co-worker keeping a menagerie of wild animals, when instead I could be having sexual dreams about my grandma. Guess I need to ascend in the hierarchy of competence.

Today I really need to get shit done. Any advice that would help me not just spend half of the day lying in bed beacuse I feel like I deserve a break?

How doth the little busy bee
Improve each shining hour,
And gather honey all the day
From every opening flower!

How skilfully she builds her cell!
How neat she spreads the wax!
And labors hard to store it well
With the sweet food she makes.

In works of labor or of skill,
I would be busy too;
For Satan finds some mischief still
For idle hands to do.
