Ok? Unrelated to my point but thanks for the input.
12·1 day agoI never heard or have never received calls/messages or any other way of outreach from people supporting any other country.
That is so odd and I don’t understand how not everyone finds it extremely odd.
Just to make it clear:
Right now, I think germany is pretty average. Some stuff is fucked up, some stuff is great. I enjoyed my time there.
If an organisation would call me to tell me why germany is actually pretty cool, I would end the call feeling extremely suspicious of germany.
I agree with you. My point is simply that I will “lie” to them in some ways. I have to lie to them that social workers are “safe” to help them to find us while knowing that dangerous people would seek out these jobs. And I will have to make it seem safer as it is because a young child is unable to understand the concept of likelihood. And I want them to start talking to a stranger (e.g. the policeman), they need the confidence that it is safe.
Eventually, they will understand that we are simplying things when we taught them about the world.
In both cases, I don’t think a child will feel like we were lying them. Just like I didn’t feel lied to.
“Normalizing lying” is just a silly critic.
I am opposed to making them write Santa a letter or making them “meet” Santa. As i think there is a difference between
- telling them about the concept
- letting them watch a christmas movies
- maybe telling them that Santa comes when they go to bed
And making them interact with “santa”.
That is my line. I am not saying, it is better or worse than yours or theirs. But that discussion is on a different level than “Normalizing lying”.
What argument? You parroted an question. That you think you made an argument, highlights that you parroted the question. Even if you want to understand the question as an argument, a basic inspection of the implied premise that lying is bad, is enough to dismiss the argument as lazy and surface-level.
If you don’t like it when people call your output boring, say something worthwhile.
This is such a boring thing that people say all the time.
Lying is normal. You should be lying. Lying isn’t morally wrong if it is not done for morally wrong reasons. My child should be lying to me. I should be lying to my child.
And my children will understand the difference between lying to e.g. prevent a surprise to be ruined and lying to avoid facing consequences.
It is such a black and white thinking. It is so boring too. I will teach my children violence because 1 day, they might need it too.
And sidenote: e.g. telling your child that they can “trust” the security or the police if they get lost in a large crowd, is a lie. But one that is true enough that the child is safer with them than alone in a crowd. Telling your child that e.g. a electrical signal is travelling from the tv station through a wire to your tv, would be a lie if there is some fiber cables somewhere between them, or a satellite connection. Yes, simplifications are lying. We will lie anyway to enable them to navigate the far too complex world and slowly learn about the real underlying complexities.
And obviously, there is a difference between making them write letters to Santa and telling them Santa brings gifts for Christmas.
Honestly, I think i will “lie” about Santa. Simply because it doesn’t really matter and it is fun for them.
Very anon of him, tbf

Didn’t he say to a 9yo that he would date her in 10 years?
Are you sure it isn’t when you turn 9?
EDIT: apparently there are some unaware people:

The Germans have something that they call FKK, and it means “Free Body Culture”.
They have a much more sane mentality towards nudity.
True but I wouldn’t want to catch the wind when driving speed limit outside of the village
Depends on what you consider too fast, is driving the speed limit outside of a town “too fast”?
Wouldn’t wind resistance be a problem that higher speeds?
Like with 30km/h, it probably doesn’t matter but 90km/h? Idk.
While it is obviously okay to be tired, maybe don’t promise what you won’t keep. It can disappoint your partner and if it happens often enough, these promise might turn them off as they remember the disappointment and eventually, possibly make your partner feel undesired. I mean it puts words and actions in contrast and once words seem meaningless, actions become everything and if you were excited to mess up around, would you be sleeping? So your actions wouldn’t communicate desire, but rather the opposite.
So while sleeping is totally okay, if you realise that you often promise a lot to then fall asleep… maybe stop promising and start looking for opportunities to show your desire when you aren’t tired and in the mood.
That is not really a problem. (Not more than natural nails)
The old “hair” is better. Spyro is a dragon but a human.
The sharing of phone numbers isn’t relevant because my comment wasn’t about getting called or messaged.
If you want to be like “but the sharing of numbers made being called randomly the norm and consequently normalised in people’s experiences” then you are still missing my point. My point wasn’t about marketing calls (which are also weird as fuck and a turnoff) but specifically being contacted by someone doing propaganda for a country, especially in the context of geopolitics. How many calls do Americans get from Taiwan about it’s (primarily) historic claim to be the legitimate government of all of China (including mainland)? How many emails do Americans get from Sudan and South Sudan about their border disputes? How often do they answer the door for a person to argue South Korean claim on the north korea? Or maybe their border disputes with Japan?
Actually, I am being a bit unfair with my examples. How many calls do Americans get from Taiwanese supporters that America needs to support Taiwan in their right to exist?
