as an attractive young male, i can definitely say i barely tolerate gay people. too happy and personable. and people in general. i hate everyone equally so good luck spinning me as homophobic or racist. yes i hate gays yes i hate blacks yes i hate your pasty hairy french dad yes i hate your evil 16 year old cat. get over it (-104)

i can't believe people are seriously focusing on people being gay when someone in government just did a nazi salute lmao for God's sake. and they're not not taking them back because "they're the worst of the worst", they literally are just not taking them back because it's FRICKED UP TO DO THIS TO PEOPLE 😭 he is literally sending back literal american citizens because he is getting rid of birthright citizenship. WHY ARE WE FOCUSING ON GAY PEOPLE WHEN TRUMP IS CLEARLY GOING OFF THE DEEP END??? he's trying to get FOUR MORE YEARS AGAIN. he is literally being scary. like she should be worried, period. again, why in the absolute FRICK are people focusing on gay people when WE CANNOT AFFORD HOUSING.

Some might say that we shouldn't sever contact with our MAGA friends and family because it will let them just fall deeper into their own brainwash pit. Unfortunately that ship has sailed long ago. During his first administration this argument might have had some credibility to it but no longer. It's been a decade. They're lost. Like they are legit lost and gone. We have to sever connections to show that this is not normal. We have to show them that this insanity should not be normalized and doing things such as cutting off all contact with these nut jobs will provide a possibility of showing some folks the seriousness of this. To them they think it's politics and they don't understand why family would cut them off just because of politics. But it's not just politics anymore. It's literally infecting the daily lives of not only Americans but international societies as well. It is affecting human rights, it is oppressing people.

So clearly you cut the start of this argument. Why? And yes if I saw "Two same-s*x parents cannot typically have biological children. But what if two men could have a baby? What do you think the s*x of the child could be" I'd also be going like WTF is this r-slurred question(AND SO SHOULD YOU). What did you expect calling her homophobic. This isn't even about homophobia, it's a stupid fricking question to have in a BIOLOGY textbook! Wtf are you people teaching your kids in the USA. At first I thought republicans were just exaggerating rare cases but shit has become so muddy I don't think either side knows what's up or down. Every well known reddit thread has become a illogical Lib/Cons cesspool of politics ,propaganda and bots(or r-slurs IDK). No fricking wonder Trump won because Dems seem to be the more radical, illogical, brainwashed morons than the republicans usually are. You people need to seriously do a reality check on yourselves or face another 8 years of Republican dominance. ... (1)

autodrama: automating away the jobs of dramneurodivergents. Ping HeyMoon if there are any problems or you have a suggestion

We're playing the turboneurodivergent Dawn of Civilization mod for Civilization IV that replicates world history. !g*mers

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

Part 4 Part 5 Part 6

Part 7 Part 8

We now have Russia as a vassal (the "Province of Sarmatia") and directly control Japan, Australia, and America. Settling New Zealand as well.

Publius Valerius Publicola can be used to reform the government for free.

Fascism WINS by a whisker

We are now the New Roman Empire.

Much better for our treasury, espionage, and military. Science and great people generation took a minor hit.

We've gone from Italic Peoples -> Roman Kingdom -> Roman Empire -> Roman Republic -> New Roman Empire.

We're secular now too. We could do the Secular Religious Victory if we wanted

The cathedral goal is a little confusing - we don't have cathedrals for any eastern religions. But with Judaism, Islam, Orthodoxy, Protestantism, and Catholicism we have enough I guess

Secularism should our relations with much of the world a little. Most of the Catholic world are our vassals with the exception of Netherlands and Austria.

It's enough for Iran to open borders apparently.

Prussia still has a stick up their butt. I'm hoping when Bismarck becomes leader he'll like us a little more as Nationhood is his favorite civic. I'm going to cultivate good relations with these guys and try to influence them to become fascist too so Hitler appears, just for you chuds.

We still get penalties for "Our rivals are vassal to your empire" but it helps just a little. I realize embarrassingly late into this game session that I could just pay all my vassals to become secular as well to try to ease up this penalty.

Ultimately, fascism helps us Our domestic stability is booming and the economic recession is cooling off. We have a strong civic combo and a bonus for "contemporary civics".

At this point I'm so absurdly advanced that I decide to turn down my research funding and focus entirely on espionage temporarily to let the rest of the world catch up. I'm close to discovering nuclear weapons and we haven't had the American Revolutionary War yet. But I do want biplanes circling in my American colonies just to prove Trump right.

We can also use them to air strike injuns

Rome has hit Legendary Culture

I have to be careful because we're starting to tiptoe toward victory conditions. Vassalizing Russia was awesome but now we're 8% territory control away from Domination. I have a few other cities with Influential culture I need to prevent from hitting Legendary or I'll will Cultural. If really necessary I can just let some shit go but I turn my research funding back up to make sure I can get to space before another victory ticks.

1762, they're coming

I bring "Grippy" Agrippinia's army from Japan to Panama to prepare.

We're starting to discover Uranium deposits, which will of course be very important strategic resources.

We have mines in Ukraine and Australia. Australia is ours, but Ukraine is at risk of seceding. More would be safer.

There's a deposit in Africa we can grab with a colony, but it's a little close to Dutch South Africa.

We have an extra Great Artist we can use to create a Great Work in the city and blow up our cultural borders, getting us gem and rare earth mines as well.

Washington has arrived

I want America to capitulate, but it's going to take a while for "Rise of the Americans" to end before it will even be an option. Fine by me. With totalitarianism we don't get war weariness. America on the other hand does

With Nationhood we also actually get a small stability bonus when at war.

Interestingly America has embraced Slavery, so they're actually the Confederate States of America.

I'll contribute this to my development of the south and rich slave plantations.

It should probably at least require a capital in the south as well, but whatevs. There are some neat dynamic names for America. If they were to vassalize Mesoamerica as the CSA it would be known as the Golden Circle.

Washington attaches a general, Winfield Scott and does a successful job repelling Agrippina's army.

I'm forced to pull them back north to Concord to rendezvous with my other army. Concord is much more vulnerable.

His army marches on French New Orleans and there's little I can do I have to get my planes out.

They've rammed the ramparts and taken the airports.

Winfield Scott attempts to take Concord with my full army there and dies in the process

1810, my thinkpad grinds to a slowdown as Argentina and Mexico enter the map

Colombia shortly after

They all dislike us

And Colombia took the Panama canal away from us

These central/south American civs have some banger themes tho

Argentina:

Mexico:

Colombia:

We've researched Fission, and get The Manhattan Project started in Pella, Greece.

We're really having trouble making friends with Prussia/Germany

If we want Hitler (I assume you chuds do ) we'll probably need to convince Germany to become fascist through civic changes. Not possible if they hate us.

It is possible if they're our vassal.

For example, if we give Spain enough technologies to adopt Totalitarianism (WITHOUT a planned economy, otherwise they're commies), then encourage them to do so...

Philip II becomes Franco

If we want a pet Hitler, we'll have to get Germany to capitulate

First: America. The Rise of the Americans event is over so they can mechanically capitulate. We capture Washington almost right in 1812

It's now the Roman "Province of America". I give them back their cities and board my army to retvrn to Evrope

Interestingly, they seem to think some cities in Japan should belong to them.

I'm getting overextended, so it's worth considering

Btw, despite having almost 15k ducats in the bank we're not #1 in wealth. That honor goes to the original gangsta Mansa Musa

Dom Pedro of Brazil spawns with the smoothest banger yet

Our general Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus prepares to vassalize Germany. We have tanks now

Agrippina's army from America is gonna come from the west while Magnus comes from the east

They've been trying unsuccessfully to fight the Archduchy of Austria so are gonna be a little softened up. This should be over quick.

We can speed it up even more by having our spy start a revolt in the city, removing their defenses and allowing us to attack over a river semi-safely.

Within one turn we've taken most of his territory. Get blitzkrieg'd b-word

Bismarck is quickly willing to capitulate.

Now the "Province of Borussia" is willing to accept my new government.

A few turns later and HE'S HERE!!!!

Ethiopia apparently had a Defensive Pact with Germany so we're at war again now. I have just the thing for them

Nukes are much more powerful than in base game. I finish off stragglers with some biplanes and move in to take this irradiated shithole.

Probably nearing the endgame soon. I may be touching grass tomorrow so if not Saturday maybe Sunday

In the meantime, there's a missing String for Communist Sweden - someone give me a good name for them and I'll go into the XML files and change it.

Oh dear. Yeah, I don't know where "our" forum is but it isn't here! I sort of think nowhere, since the election proved that Americans will cut off their nose to spite their face.

Tilman Fertitta, Trump's ambassador to Italy, owns:Mastro's Steakhouse and Ocean Club, Morton's The Steakhouse, Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse, Del Frisco's Grille, The Oceanaire, Vic & Anthony's, Brenner's Steakhouse, Grotto, Atlantic Grill, La Griglia and Willie G's, Chart House, Landry's Seafood House, Rainforest Cafe, Saltgrass Steak House, Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, Mitchell's Fish Market, Dos Caminos, Bill's Bar & Burger, Joe's Crab Shack and McCormick & Schmick's, Portland City Grill, Kincaid's, Simon and Seaford's, and Henry's Tavern. This is a partial list. (2203)

Landrys is the worst company i ever worked for. And they are also horrible at business. When they took over BRGuest in NYC their goons (I refuse to call them anything but that) came in and changed everything. For the worse. They told me to fire 40% of my staff and if I couldn't find a reason to I was not doing my job. They ignored the Donn doff law and had signs at terminals saying "do not clock in until fully in uniform" which is…illegal. They got rid of the time card adjustment signatures. Which is required in nyc. Any time you adjust a staffs time card they have to sign off on it. Very simple. Yes it was a huge restaurant and yes it took a lot of time to do 3 times a shift (people forgot to clock in, people for got to clock out for they break, etc…) but it's the law. They did away with it. It's a HUGE lawsuit. Every single employee can sue for incorrect hour reporting. It's usually a class action and lawyers make most of the money, but it's an easy slam dunk case for any law firm...

Don't have a clue about who actually owns the company but I can tell you for sure that the family who owns the Jets Pizza stores north of Humble are hardcore crazy Trumpers. Worked there for a bit before quitting because the dad/owner went on a 45 min rant about how black people are the most terrible workers/they need to be "vetted way more" before going on another rant about how we're finally gonna get rid of all the ADHD & autism going around these days "once RFK gets in there" and gets rid of all the sugar in our food. They had a trans neurodivergent teenager working for them as a delivery driver too & I felt so bad for him because the owners talked soooooo much disgusting ignorant shit whenever he wasn't there. Not to mention the Trump/Vance "I'm voting for the outlaw & the hillbilly" sweatshirt the owner's son would come in wearing every day. I could go on but yeah they're definitely ones to avoid (6)

2024 YR4 is an asteroid recently discovered by scientists in Chile (it's not the flying Tesla "asteroid", this one is legit). It is an "Apollo-type" near-Earth object that crosses our planet's orbit.

This week, scientists learned it had a 1.2%-1.6% chance of hitting Earth on 22 December 2032.

At a diameter of between 40 and 100 metres (130 and 330 ft), an impact with the ground could release approximately 8 megatons of destructive energy.

For reference, that is 533 times the bomb at Hiroshima and more than double the maximum yield of a US Navy Trident II ICMB.

All this places 2024 YR4 at a troubling 3 (out of 10) on the Torino Scale of impact hazards. It is the only non-0 threat, and the second highest ever recorded, exceeded only briefly in 2004 by 99942 Apophis before closer observations revealed that asteroid would not hit Earth.

So that is the bad news. Ready for the good news?

Calculations by NASA and the ESA show that 2024 YR4's "risk corridor" (where it would hit) doesn't pose a threat to anywhere important.

A recent discussion I had about AGP got me thinking about which fetishes cross the line into psychological disorders and it occured to me that every Masochist I've ever met has been self destructive outside of their BDSM shit and every sadist I've met has been sadistic outside of their s*x life too so the idea that the whole thing is a LARP isn't very convincing.

Granted, I'm working with a small sample size but the one hardcore sadist I met IRL was a huge bully in his teen years who did all his "roleplay" with severely depressed chicks and also liked hurting people or watching them get hurt for the fun of it outside of his s*x life and had other antisocial traits. He was also into the really extreme shit like crying and bleeding.

I've met several women into it and unsurprisingly all of them had really low self esteem and depression.

Thoughts?

I remember when I first joined it was kind of cheeky and irreverent, and it still seemed plausible that women posted here. But it's become progressively more shallow and heartless. I mean I can't be the only one picking up on this, right? "The worst thing about DOGE is how soy it all is"? We can't just express outrage at immorality anymore, every criticism must be given through the lens of haughty indifference and framed around coolness or lack thereof. I think some people here have genuinely replaced their concept of wrong and right with cringe/not cringe and never stopped to consider how cruel and purposeless it could make them.

Quick question did you ever listen to the pod? Like even one clip or so?

People actually listen to Rspod?!

Gooooood, for the 100,000th time - this is a unique sub and one of the only decent culture/current events subs on reddit, the podcast sucks shit so most people here either never listened or stopped listening in 2019 (me). I used to like A&D but in the last five years one became a Fox News dork and the other is hawking a shit coin, they've changed. That being said, what drew me to them and this sub in the first place was their critique/thoughts on the overly woke/grifter left and establishment liberals. What I and many didn't know back in 2018 was A&D are insecure dorks who just adopt whatever ideology they currently find chic/edgy, and as soon as Bernie/progressive politics became boring they moved onto the next thing. But a lot of us here have beliefs based on morality/ethics/what we find to be true, so here we are

Tldr: "I have never and will never engage with the content this sub is about but here's how it should be run."

Anyways I thought this was a fun thread. The commenters even got OP to self delete out of shame.

Has anyone noticed this phenomenon? These barely legal girls put on silicone drag queen breasts, film low effort videos that get hundreds of thousands of views, men embarrass themselves in the comments. How do they not see they're fake? Most of the videos will have a high cut shirt on, then they'll use ai on photos with cleavage. Some even use ai on videos, pretty well actually, but now I've been looking a lot I can tell.

Of course these girls have onlyfans, I respect the grift. The crazy thing is they all use the same breast plate which has the left tit slightly higher than the right, like wonky hentai style. I've found at least 15 of these profiles. Idk I just want to talk to someone about this and figured rs people would be offended by stolen big natural valor.

I love finding out about weird corners of the internet I didn't know about. People gooning over literal fake tits smh my head.
