it wasn't the 9/11 WTC Nike "Just Do It" logo I saw

I've never heard of this before. Isn't it a bit... tasteless, at the least, to get a tattoo of a wing in relation to 9/11?

Oh it was (I wasn't able to find the picture, might retry in weekend). The person I knew who used that avatar was a friendly guy but... some people just really hate the USA being world police. You know, Chomsky followers, for example.

I'd say in 2023 it has been pointed out by world events the USA is the best world police. Because the alternatives are far more nefarious.

Anyway, tasteless, sure I can follow that. Is it going to lead to physical aggression? Very possibly. There's other examples, too. People getting swastikas having to hide them at work or later renouncing such politics. Relationships breaking up, painful reminder. Military people getting tortured over having certain tattoos (happening in a current military conflict)

And to the person claiming I'm a bot, you should read the news guidelines about making such statement. If you want you can use some tooling for such to give your comment merit but before you put time into that see my other comments.

>And to the person claiming I'm a bot...

To be fair, this comment and your comment before it both read a bit nonsensically.

This

> While tattoos make you more warm, requiring more sweat elsewhere, bottom line leading to higher body temperatures

appeared a very stupid comment indeed. However I am wrong and will always admit it and learn from it, so do you have any links to show that tatts, once healed, affect body temperature detectably?

(edit: looks like I am wrong. I take it all back with fulsome apologies).

It's one of those "a single study said so" sorta things.

You are right, and this study looks plausible. Ok, I am wrong. Thanks.
