If seasonal depression is the worst thing your citizens have to deal with, that's a pretty fucking incredible country imo.

Well the Israelis are definitely really happy.

Your point is based on fundamentally flawed information. You can make the argument that Americans should engage in revolution! But I would point the example towards the great work of unions during the Industrial Revolution, rather than pointing to one of the many times the U.S. rose up to blindly support their oligarchs.

I know it sounds fun to believe that friendship or togetherness can topple a nation that's willing to drone strike its own citizens, but the truth is that the game is so heavily rigged in the U.S. that we have a lot of needs. We need guns, we need intelligence, and we need enough peer to peer outreach to actually organize. Without third-party assistance, it's pretty hard to go beyond the local protesting we've already been doing.

Everyone likes to fantasize about Jan 6th without realizing there were big financial groups working on outreach, organization, and supporting travel to the capital to make that happen. There is no money for the left in the U.S. You really want to yell at us, at least donate to organizations like Indivisible first.

Say what you will about them but they were not hypocrites

Sorry, you're saying the people who were committed to making a Land of the Free that excluded blacks and women weren't hypocrites? The Founding Fathers are some of the biggest fucking hypocrites of all time.

The only thing they hated is that they couldn't be the British aristocracy. They absolutely were oligarchs and the vast, vast majority did not due it out of noble reasons. They did it because they wanted more profits.

Wild that you're just allowed to be a child murderer if you claim the magic voices in your head say it's okay. You'd think that the surviving kids would be saved from this kind of fucked up ideology, but in the U.S. we have concluded that it's more important for people to be delusional.

That is such a gross and fundamental misunderstanding of the Revolutionary War it's almost comical. Probably most important to note is that the Revolution was bankrolled by U.S. oligarchs, and we received a lot of help.

Good news! They already weren't. Red state public schools have been indoctrination camps for about a decade now.

Probably not, since CoD Zombies is pretty fundamentally different to Left4Dead and I don't think the maps would really transfer over properly.

Yikes, laughing at wanting a safe word is a huge red flag IMO. Sounds like you dodged a bullet in the end.

Yeah, I've always felt like forced sex sounds hotter than it actually is. It sounds so romantic, and everyone thinks they can get in the mood as soon as their partner wants them, but the reality doesn't quite line-up the same. A pretty key part of any consensual non-consent is setting up a word to break the scene though, so I dunno if I'd beat yourself up too much about it. If she wasn't in the mood, she should have let you know.

I definitely get this sentiment, but I do feel like it should be pointed out that there's been at least two assassination attempts against Trump.

What we really need is just better aim.

See, I'm easy. As long as it's purely in a sexual context, I won't be mad. I might say "No" or "Not right now," but as long as my partner is saying it from a place of genuine horniness, they can go nuts.

Is this so much to ask for? Someone who will treat me with respect while also sexual degrading me when I want it?

Putin has now reached a level of Skaven where's making ceasefire deals just so he can break. There hasn't been enough betrayal for his liking yet, so he must manufacture some. Unhinged behavior.

On the one hand, yeah definitely export your own cultural weirdness. Part of the joy of having so many other cultures in the world is getting little peeks into them via art.

On the other hand, some of my favorite games of all time have come from Japanese developers fetishizing American culture and trying to pretend it's normal. Deadly Premonition, Metal Wolf Chaos, all the works of Hideo Kojima. I think there's something to be said for the strange fusions that can occur when an outsider makes art in the style of a different culture.

Holy shit, I feel like I just had a Jimmy Neutron brain blast. Thanks for the link, I had no idea what was possible.

You have more hope than I. I seriously do not think Americans will ever do anything. Too many people have been indoctrinated into obedience.

No, it's just at home now. The CIA has been torturing people in black sites around the globe for decades now. If anything, those conditions were far worse, since it doesn't seem like any migrants detained are getting waterboarded yet.

I guess someone threatening you with a lawsuit stings a lot more when there's a chance they could actually win. Typically when my office gets threatened with a lawsuit, we all just laugh and laugh at the absurdity of their claims.
