Berke Negri posted:Full Monarchism marches on. Monarchy is better than anarchy. Barely. Constitutional Monarchy is best of all, and requires a period of absolute despotism before it can be transitioned to. Too fast, and you end up with theocracy. Too slow, and you end up with bureaucratic despotism. Both are quite contrary to the aims of constitutional monarchy: to gently caress the elite. You need bureaucratic despotism kept in check by theocratic legalism with self-representation for the masses via people's assemblies and military tribuneships while also allowing for regular and set intervals of transitions between elected monarchs.

Trust me, its far better than allowing all of the assholes to go back home to set up their own Congress. We have Congress for our own good. Otherwise, all those assholes in Congress? Yeah, you'd have to live with them all loving year. Is that what you want? Is that what you really loving want?! The purpose of Congress was to send our elected government to a malarial swamp for most of the year and hope nature took its course. That's how you get progress and development as a nation.

If there's been higher than expected growth in Chinese porn consumption, I'd blame a slowing economy and decrease is visits to prostitutes. Also, globally, casinos are in a tailspin on earnings due to decrease in baccarat take. I blame China.

Berke Negri posted:Getting sick will mess up my date tomorrow too, though Thinking about that makes it more likely for you to have an impaired immune system and to become sick. Anticipation of future health status is the most accurate predictor of future health status. Take some loving alprazolam or some poo poo, quit thinking about poo poo thats out of your hands and accept that there's a degree of uncertainty and luck involved in life. Are you thinking you'll "get sick," or that you'll come down with influenza because of an interaction you had 3 days ago? Specify what you'll get sick with, and tell yourself how loving illogical you're being because you're looking for an excuse to not go on the date.

Scratch that, it might be guilt. You're Catholic, right? Tell yourself you'll go to church on [whatever day catholics go] and ask for forgiveness for double-booking your dates and double-booking your premarital sex.
