      Everyday we stray further and further from Milton Friedman’s senior citizen ramblings where he reveals his entire political philosophy is just that he really hates taxes and nothing else

      Let’s start out this thread with a good discussion. Is it wrong to consume porn involving fictional characters who are related? Does it encourage deviant real life behaviors and impulses or is it harmless fun? Please be condescending towards those who disagree with you and subtweet each other to try and get the last word in. Begin.

      That one time that thousands of people in China died when a meteor struck a Ming Dynasty armory and caused the largest explosion in a city until the 20th century, is insane.

      I’ve said it before, but since we’re on the subject, I don’t see how a straight open-relationship can work if the husband doesn’t have a hotwife or cuckold fetish.

      As a non-religous single guy, I don’t mind seeing someone in an open relationship, but I imagine the vast majority of women seeking men would be turned off by it, even if they were looking for something casual. It’d have to be torture

      I recently read a lot of people with at least moderately successful dating lives in the DT. As a person with zero action, what the fuck. Go back to the bucket NOW

      No picture because my phone is charging in another room, but my cat is very happy that I am back from vacation. Came up to my keyboard and rested his head and one of his paws on my left hand.

      Currently shotgunning water in preparation for giving blood in 7.5h

      Never sure when I’m overdoing it though. I always have an issue with coming close to fainting from the draw and I’m not sure whether being hyper hydrated beforehand exacerbates that or not

      So fun question, when Russia inevitably collapses or fall apart what should we do with Kaliningrad? Germany probably has the strongest historical claim to the area since it was part of the Kingdom of Prussia and Germany was the last country to govern it, but it would cause the problem of creating an exclave. Poland is another obvious due to geography, but also going far enough back it was part of Lithuania before the Teutonic Order conquered it. The territory is 87% Russian now with barely any Germans, Poles, or Lithuanians, at the same time the Russians only control it through blatant act of imperialism and ethnic cleansing so we should strive to right that wrong if the opportunity presents itself. Ukrainians are the second largest ethnic group there so I guess we could give it to Ukraine, but that aren’t in the EU and I’m not sure they’ll even want while trying to rebuild there country.

      Somewhere at Rockstar Games HQ there’s a poor analyst on the marketing team who’s been tasked with developing a new type of ROAS KPI where the ad spend is defined as whatever they pay their legal team to shut down leaks

      >Israeli settlers were filmed on Tuesday attacking a group of left-wing activists and journalists in front of IDF soldiers in the southern West Bank before being allowed to flee the area without a single arrest being made. The activists from several Israeli rights groups were in the Bethlehem-area Palestinian village of Jannatah to help residents put up a fence around several homes on the outskirts of the town that has come under repeated attack by settlers.

      Very bad

      Society should learn to accept that homicide is simply a part of human nature rather than something that needs to be suppressed.
