<p>I'm puzzled to what point is tried to be made.<p>Is the parent statement supposed to be an argument that women are not capable, or even less likely, of providing means for, or inflicting massive destruction?<p>How would that follow from what is said here or in the article?<p>Certainly women can be destructive too. What would make it a sex issue?</p>

<p>Nothing has no risk.<p>A not insignificant number of people suffered from severe health issues from the covid vaccine alone.<p>The definition of what a vaccine is and the requirement for testing were relaxed to allow for what would otherwise have been regarded as immature to be included in the vaccine category, and has remained so since. It is therefore reasonable that the trust in vaccines had been impacted to some extent.</p>

<p>The video does not counter the parents argument about measuring fit.<p>What the masons in the video do is certainly impressive. Cutting organic shapes that fit perfectly together, as if they once were elastic, is another level.<p>Perhaps the did something similar to what dentists do when building on teeth so that the added material is not the only contract point when jaws are closed. That is, a contact sheet that leaves contact marks.</p>

<p>Sometimes for good reason. Observe what happened to people who tried to approach Sentinel island. That may seem extreme, but it's not my point. It's is that cultures are different and some are detrimental to the people of some other culture's wellbeing.</p>

<p>Anger seems to me to be one of the least understood emotions. In my opinion anger should be practised at every possible opportunity in order to cultivate as good as relationship to it as other emotions. Otherwise it will seem like it's out of your control due to not knowing its limits and how much of it you need due to it being suppressed. It is a necessary emotion for our wellbeing.</p>

<p>>> Who would plant a flower next to a sick or hostile one?<p>> A gardener who understands that after that short grace period that plant will have to grow amongst those sick and hostile ones essentially and not only that, it will have to form a thriving ecosystem with them.<p>If, on the other hand, the gardener knows from experience that the flower will be suffocated, then it's pointless at best and cruel at worst.</p>
