What about some “implications” over committing genocide? That seems like the real problem here.

Because it’s considered “lewd” and “indecent” when I do it and I’m not allowed within 500 yards of schools anymore.

Murder ballads. I don’t know that it’s a genre of music per se, so much that it’s a subject that people have sung about across different genres. It’s just so antithetical to what we normally consider music, normally it’s love songs and such. Epic examples include:

• In the Pines (famously covered by Nirvana)
• Violent Femmes - Country Death Song
• Mack the Knife (Louis Armstrong version is the best)

She’s really got that ‘resting dictator face’ going.

In English we’ll say, “Your other <right/left>”, depending on which direction the person is messing up.

I was literally just wondering this same thing earlier today.

Plenty of time to put off thinking about it until the last possible minute.

SSN’s are also given out to immigrants as well though, so that’s a whole other population of people outside of just natural born citizens to account for. The US awards around one million green cards annually, though I don’t know what the historical numbers are.

I’m not understanding the question, what is this “breaking the cycle” thing? Does one “break the cycle” of having to eat or drink? If it’s done to a harmful degree, then yeah, get help and stop rubbing yourself so much, but most masturbation is healthy and fine. I’m assuming people stop masturbating if they a) find a sex partner (even then it’s not a guarantee someone would stop), b) find something else to do, or c) die. Otherwise, you need to either find a way to stop or find a way to stop feeling bad about it. It’s not something anybody should feel bad about.

Like all these people on the bus staring at me right now, they’re all a bunch of creeps, just let me jerk off in peace, weirdos.

It’s apparently the strategy of both the West and China to wear Russia down and the Russians are either too stupid to realize it, or Putin feels he just doesn’t have a choice at this point. After this war, Russia is very likely to be a Chinese vassal state, which China will use to extract cheap resources (which they’re pretty much already doing now). Russia is throwing their future away on the fields of Ukraine over a strip of land, it’s so mind-numbingly stupid.

I’m 43 and with my lower back pain I can’t imagine going off to fight in a war like that. I’m exercising more now than I ever did, but I’m well past my prime and probably couldn’t do alot of the things that war would demand. I’d surrender at the first opportunity I could get to not get shot in the back.

69 years later, Trump is finally going to Vietnam.

Jokes on you, I’m into that shit.

Yeah, in my mind, Sci-fi is more than just space ships or aliens or futuristic tech (though those are loosely part of it), it’s more about exploring different questions, under the guise of some sort of new technology. “Hey, we invented this thing that can remove racism from people’s brains, but it also makes people love-obsessed and creates dependency issues in people. Should we use this on the population?” It raises moral/ethical questions about what we could or should do given the chance.

Star Wars is straight-up fantasy with high-tech aesthetics, but it has more in common with Lord of the Rings than it does with anything sci-fi. It’s about a hero’s journey and good vs evil.

I wonder if you couldn’t do a reverse Fantasy/Sci-fi story? Basically a sci-fi sort of story with fantasy trappings. Like a fantasy story that looks at some new magic development and what the implications for humanity are of that new magic process. “We perfected an alchemical process to turn poop into gold! Should we flood the market with poo-gold and crash the medieval economy?”

I just saw a video on the show on the youtube channel Secret Galaxy, pretty interesting, as I remembered the show, but never knew what happened to it:

Small dong energy

I think he could make a compelling argument justifying it if Trump were to win the election, a sort of Julius Caesar part deux. I think you could make the case that American democracy as we know it would end if Trump were elected president and that in order to protect democracy, his assassination was needed. However, in doing so, American democracy as we know it would still end because Biden would be opening the door to domestic political assassination being in a president’s tool belt, so it’s kind of a catch-22. We’re damned if we do, damned if we don’t. So really, the only thing that will “save” democracy is if people vote for Harris, that’s where we’re at as a country. I’d love to vote third party, I actually didn’t care much for Harris before Biden dropped out, but the stakes are really too high this election to consider anything else.

I grew up in a home where we just never thought about wearing, or not wearing, shoes in the house. Like, we obviously didn’t track mud all over the place if our shoes were that dirty, but if we were wearing our shoes inside, nobody said anything or cared, it was just whatever. Married a Kenyan who put her foot down and was like, “Are you crazy?” It’s apparently a big thing elsewhere in the world. In Kenya alot of roads aren’t paved, things get dusty, and it’s just common sense that you don’t walk all over the house with dirty shoes, so I get it from that perspective.

Hopefully this will make future war crime prosecutions easier, supposing we live long enough to ever see that day.

We’re just going all in on trying to get to WW3 and the Rapture, huh?
