Haha, very true! But I’m not a Buddhist. It’s a gift from one of my former colleagues in China who gave it to me as a good luck charm.

I got a wonderful Buddhist hanging charm for my car with a nice big 卍 (wàn) on it and you better believe I don’t give a fig what people are gonna think about that!

Zoids?

I was listening to Compay Secundo in the car yesterday and for me who doesn’t speak Spanish, Guantanemera, with the whole crowd singing along, sounds a bit too cheerful these days.

I think we are not fundamentally disagreeing. Condoms alone are not a protection against all the bad things that could occur while sexually experimenting.

My initial point was that if one is going to experiment, there are ways to mitigate risks. Condoms are one such measure, and they are ridiculously effective compared to the effort they require.

Being sexually uneducated will still make things risky, but if I’m faced with someone who has decided to fuck their way through Europe, you bet the very least I would tell them is to always have a condom with them.

Sortez couverts !

I don’t think your grasp of statistics and logic is quite there yet.
Because something may fail doesn’t mean it is useless. Because something may happen doesn’t mean it will.

I am still annoyed that we let the damn Argentinian beef get through, but I think it’s comparatively hilarious that we still won’t budge on US “food”.

Holy shit! That guy hacked the system!

I’m guessing that one is toward the EU?

And fucking your wife every single day is no guarantee she will get pregnant. What’s your point?

They are more effective at stopping STDs, STIs, and unwanted pregnancies than thoughts and prayers though.

You might not be aware but condoms are a thing.

The lady has training with animals and is applying what she learnt to make a guy at ease with her… I’d say the friend is the asshole here. You do the best you can with what you got.

为什么不两?

Well yeah, why do you think the billionaires don’t pay taxes? Can you imagine counting out all those millions? Just easier to skip them, they give enough as it is already. /s

That reminds me of SEO shite introduced into HTML invisibly for the readers.

Disparaître du jour au lendemain ? Oh non les pauvres choux, c’est des emplois précaires en fait! Quel stress. On se rend pas compte.

Deep vein thrombosis?

“Fuck it we’ll just wing it” certainly sounds like the China I’ve experienced. It’s their great strength compared to us in Europe, hand and feet tied with rules and regulations. Of course it may or may not be a catastrophe in the making. Only time will tell.
