I had a problem with it a couple of years ago. In my case it was for the most part caused by visceral belly fat. When I lost some weight it got much better. I still have to avoid some exercises at the gym or bending down with straight legs to tie my shoes after eating a meal.

Ok. When I hear someone refered to as "a perfect gentleman" I picture an oldfashioned man, extremely polite towards women, attending to their every need and treating them like delicate flowers. Someone that would take off his jacket and place it in a puddle for her to step on in order to n...

I am not sure about the exact definition of "the perfect gentleman", but maybe he's just someone that very strictly always act in a certain way around women to get popular with them? A kind of "masking".

I enjoy most classics, Shakespeare included. I find it very annoying when people that, for some reason, don't enjoy the classics assume that other people then can't enjoy them either.

On a warm summer's evening in the late 1980s, on a train in southern France bound to Nice. I met up with a young American that began to speak. He first pointed out that it was July 4th and then continued: "How is that celebrated in Europe?" I replied: "Why would we celebrate that?&quo...

Too many conmen and cult leaders through history have used religion to manipulate people for me to take any of the super natural phenomena associated with it seriously.

My observation is that autistic people are better to see through nonsense like flattery, social proof, authority exploitation and are usually don't convinced by illogical argumentation. NTs on the other hand are more aware that people may have hidden motives for their actions or for giving them cert...

It's often the case that if NTs see through nonsense but think the group will dislike if they call it out they will keep quiet. In general it's very important for them that everyone in the group agree with each other. If someone has a different opinion they tend to take it personally.

You'll never be able to convince me that they aren't still hated today. I'm not trying to convince you of anything. There are obviously people with opposite views on the genocide against the Palestinians that confuse Israel with Jews, but most attempts to label criticism of Israel's actions as anti...

^The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) seems to be a rather shady organisation. A UN official accused GHF of "weaponizing aid". A UNICEF spokesperson said of the GHF after repeated mass shooting of starving Palestinians at distribution sites that, "These are not humanitarians, they a...

Greta Thunberg didn't sign any deportation papers or admitted to have illegally entered Israel. Instead she said she was kidnapped on international waters and brought there against her will. Still the israelies thought the best thing for them was to let her leave the country. https://www.youtube.com...

The ship was illegally taken over, or "intercepted", while on international water where Israel has no jurisdiction, right? For some reason that is not reported.

The assault against the settlements were in 2023 while most of the recent posts seems to be about Israel killing and/or starving civilians in Gaza. Maybe it's time to start a new thread or change the name of this one?
