This is basically astrology for unconfident men.

In this case, it is more like gastrology

Are we having one type for each of the seven sins now?

Eating a lot is not the original meaning of gluttony in Catholic mythology. If you look at some of the self-evident deadly sins like envy, pride, greed, or wrath, you see these don't refer to a specific action you commit, but rather an abstract emotional attitude, a "pre-sin" from which actual sins stem. For instance, sloth is not you spending an afternoon on the couch, it refers to a general lack of goals and eagerness to the point that it is harmful to you; and lust does not refer to having a lot of sex, it refers to your thoughts being dominated by desire. In the case of gluttony, it refers to a general obsession with having things in excess of what is good for you.

On a side note, in German traffic law they later came to mean the seven ways of wrongful driving that warrant criminal prosecution: Not respecting right-of-way (pride), wrongfully passing other cars (envy), driving wrong at pedestrian crossings (gluttony), driving too fast at an intersection (greed), not driving in the right lane (wrath), attempting to turn on motorways (lust), and failing to mark defective cars in traffic (sloth).

You can mark defective cars in traffic? Like with a paintball gun?

Yeah in Germany every car has a 30cm red triangle in the side of the trunk and you are supposed to put it up a few metres behind the car when it breaks down so people can see that there is going to be an obstacle on the road

My impression was that you’d drive around with a paintball marker in one hand shooting at cars with a broken headlight. But your explanation makes more sense.

Well, we can't forget the Omicron male, which is a guy that loves to spread COVID

Representative of sloth? Follower of nurgle?

[–] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Follower of nurgle?

Yes, but also people like anti-vaxxers or who are responsible by policy for more COVID (e.g. Florida Gov. Ronald "Omicron" DeSantis)

We don't have them in Poland for sure, eating dog (pies), especially all of them, isn't very popular here. And i won't even comment on the part he loves women like he loves the dog.
