What's it that you are feeling the absence of, that you think you could know or someone you feel is more historied would know? In addition, what do you have envision as the connection if this information was available to you that you feel you are missing now? I am asking this genuinely.

I feel your feeling of a lost past and the apparent melancholy of it, is more of a profound feeling about one's ancestry than most people ever think or feel about their family history beyond maybe their grandparents.

You have connection to history as anyone else, there is nobody who is more and less historied. Moreover, even the idea of having a localized identity which may or may not be institutionally robust that used to highlight a regional socio-cultural and historical presence disintegrated in most of the world already and everyone exists in the permanent global present which has its own culture and subculture. Everyone looks for authenticity in this and some people are just more romanticized and some larp more than others, which depends entirely on their relation to permanent global present and not any genuine history that's somehow more real than others.

It's more that this is a 17 year old kid without a coherent worldview. They all just absorb the same unfiltered loose ideology that exists within the overlap of these online communities.

Why are the coffee grounds in the coffee? That's how it is brewed. You put finely ground coffee into cold water in a pot and heat until it comes to a boil, when it is serviced the coffee grounds pour with the coffee itself then settle at the bottom.

Thick, bitter and muddy since it is serviced with its coffee grounds but with unparalleled coffee aroma.

Turkish coffee is the best coffee, they got it right the first time.

Generally speaking it seems people consider being able to read a book in its own language a positive. Meanwhile much of the backlash to this seems to come from people who can read English just fine but want to specifically be catered to in their own language for what appears to me as mostly consumer concerns. Such as being a big market that has to pay relatively highly for these products but don't get specific translations.

I'll have to guard the yogurt I make, I don't want any sexy mice running around.

I always found her judgmental and preachy, but the fact that she is being gullible about all US policy since she has been enchanted by Hillary Clinton is also stupid which I didn't think before.

I love to eat carobs but it genuinely is not a good substitute for cocoa for chocolate even though it feels like it should be. It's a good substitute to just eat a whole carob when you want a chocolate bar though.

That's because the governing politicians are complicit, it is really that simple. Only reason why France stayed out of it in 2003 was because French were even more complicit in Saddam regime with how heavily they were invested in Iraqi Oil so the reason they were staying out of it was because of conflict of interest.

That's exactly what I am getting at, American government and media at every turn tries to evoke chauvinism and stoke jingoistic sentiments in general public of America and despite that the population isn't significantly chauvinistuc and jingoistic proportionally and has a significant amount of people who are consistently anti-war and anti-intervention on solely humanitarian grounds.

I do appreciate and value your self-criticism however as someone not from US, it's exactly this sentiment that one's own country and its population is not sufficiently against senseless suffering that creates the environment that makes it impossible for a consensus to form which allows people to merely acquiesce to whatever agenda politicians want to see through. Believing we can always do better prevents apathy which is so effortlessly pervasive.
