Bad opinion of mine: the only acceptable violence is State Violence. Citizens should not be harming each other because we're all family.

Yeah, big fan of combat sports. However you could argue that if 2 people agree to a contest, it's not really violence. You'd be wrong, but there is a huge difference between that scenario and violence in pretty much any other context. doverhog has a new favorite as of 16:55 on Jan 6, 2019 |

^^^ Agreed: informed, regulated and mutually-consented-to violence is cool and good. Indiscriminate bombing of civilians is wrong, bad people who are capable of learning to not be bad should be re-educated, if at all possible. That having been said, if you live in a civilian population centre and your rulers are staging attacks from/storing their munitions there, that's on your rulers, not the opposing military trying to neutralise the threat of said attacks. THAT having been said, the Allies and I'm certain likely even the Soviets engaged in indiscriminate terror campaigns against civilian populations and that is still wrong and the blame lies with the commanders/rulers for targetting them. PHUO: Terrorising civilians indiscriminately is wrong, no matter whom.

Revive gladiator duels. To first blood if not to death. Also, sitting politicians should be required to defend their positions with the sword.

Remember when they tried to bring back American gladiators but it didn't really catch on because it didn't have the magic? It was sad.

"Hi, therapist, hurtling down a road in a metal box powered by explosions made from putrefied dinosaurs as I try really hard not to accidentally brush up against innumerable others doing the same freaks me out a little. Have you got some drugs that'll enable me to soar through the air like a bird? Hey, what are those beefy guys in white coats doing? Wait, you don't understand, this pink tile in my pocket said you would help me!" If you're genuinely trying to help me, kindly gently caress off. Otherwise, gently caress the gently caress off permanently.

Realtalk: How were they able to make credible threats without being burned alive in their homes in the middle of the night or shot in the streets en masse by the opposition? Insurgency really only worked with a reasonably small technological disparity, nowadays the rulers have weapons and logistics/intelligence resources that science magazine editors could only dream of. For the degree of disparity, it really may as well be black magic.

Have you followed the riots in France? The French army could go in and shoot the yellow vest hooligans, but they don't. Internal politics work differently, and if they ever degrade to the level of "who actually can carry out their threats" that's a civil war.

Long solo road trips are when I’m at my happiest. Especially if there’s time to take scenic routes instead of busy highways. Although I once nearly killed myself by staring slackjawed at the Pacific in northern California instead of looking at the road, which was on a cliffside.

It was pretty cute/funny though that a bear wandering into switzerland while I lived there was headline news.

Papajohns putting garlic sauce and those little pepper things in every pizza box is annoying and they should knock it off unless requested to do it. I don't like having to throw out extra things before crushing the box and recycling it. I have never once seen anyone eat those things or use the sauce, why do they do it?

The garlic sauce has a really gross mouthfeel to me. Like I can be a gross fool for fatty sauces like blue cheese but papa’s garlic sauce feels like it’s going to bypass my stomach and just go straight into my arteries. Solution: don’t ever get Papa John’s. Bad pizza with bad sauce made by a bad man. Pizza Pizza and Domino’s are the bad pizza of champions.

I'm only doing it because they have a promotion for free cheesy bread which is basically a free small cheese pizza with less suace. Usually i'm a dominos brooklyn style pepperoni+banana pepper guy, but if a sale is good enough i can be drawn away.
