Not particulary tied to your example, but in Italy until 1981 the man who raped or kidnapped a woman could choose to marry her to "restore the honor of her and her family's", and the marriage would extinguish the penal effect of the crime (and mind that the crime wasn't against the person itself but against the moral). It was abolished when Franca Viola became the first woman to refuse this "shotgun marriage"; dont know if its called this way in english. But to be fair i think it kept being "normal" in the south longer than other parts of Italy, like even if the law still existed i don't think in the center or the north it would have been considered viable or normal. But yeah women had it pretty rough.

war, war never rules

I think every army that had to defend their home country would have preferred doing other things, and until 2022 i honestly tought that invasions were a thing of the past, at least in Europe. Russia showed otherwise, now i think that being capable of defending yourself is important. You dont have to have a ginormous army like the US but you have to be enough of a threat that somebody would think twice before attacking.

Israel's attacks are not illegal, while Russia has violated international order by its war against Ukraine, says Merkel

I dont get how, as europe, we still insist to follow every fucking step of that travesty of a country that is the united states. We have the resources to do everything on our own terms and we still do this blatant fucking ass licking of a warmongering bastard and his little fucking friends like israel.

We dont have the balls to stand up for anything even its blatant violation of international law, of which we pretend to be the biggest defenders. Yeah israel is aleays right and yet again another western violation of sovereignity is justified because iran has nuclear (which israel has since decades) but they would use it bad not like us, good and morally stable.

I create therefore I am [Rule]

Try my way:

-have to do things

-dont do it or do it partially

-want to kill myself for a while because i feel a worthless piece of shit who cant accomplish anything, even the things that i care and would benefit my future

-forget how shit you felt after like 1-2 days because you had a random moderatly good day caused by the weight of previuosly mentioned things to do going away after you failed them

-feel good until new thing

-repeat

For the people who got hit by Covid when they were in their teenage years, do you feel like that when it ended you got thrown into adulthood "losing" part of your youth?

Well yeah of course, i recognise im very lucky compared to others, i don't want to pass the idea that i think im in the worst place i could be and neither i write this in hope to get others to feel sorry for me. I was just putting my thoughts outside of my head.

About the work part, i probably gave the wrong idea. It's not like im rich or smth that i can think of not working. I would like to continue to stay in university and get a Phd and maybe who know become a professor, but for my subject of study, which is underfunded compared to STEM, and in Italy in general it's hard to get accepted if you don't get a little "help" from a professor. If i cant pursue in this career id have to search for another kind of employment, and i guarantee you, here in Italy they aren't anxious to give a job to somebody fresh out of uni which hasnt graduated in engineering or IT. Thats want i meant with "i'll have to start working".

Anyways yeah you are right, i was lucky thats, for sure. I try my best to do what i think is better for my life, maybe im just nostalgic.

Is this you?

To be honest, people that say they prefer dogs over humans confuse me a bit. Like, i get the bond you can develop with some animals, thats under no discussion, but idk preferring an animal over a person with thousands of feelings, that is capable of complex thoughts and emotions is not something i particulary like. Im not saying this judging you in particular, but i feel like some people humanise pets too much. I think there's a distinct line between us and them and i've heard people saying that if they had to choose between saving their pets life or another human life they'd choose their own pet and frankly it disturbs me.
