Have you noticed the GOP is all but dead at the state level in California? Well, political entrepreneur and Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Stone has and plan to do something about that! No, it's not "treat Hispanics with dignity." It's a secessionist movement! Behold, the glorious state of South California: This thread has been fascinating, I've been learning so much.

Lycus posted:No no no, San Bernardino did not agree to this poo poo. Well look, how else are you going to link Orange County with Kern County while ignoring all the people in LA? Speaking of which, according to the Football map, Kern County are Cowboys supporters. Even if succession is off the table I think we know what place to kick out of the state.  Also apparently Alpine County are fans of the Bears? That's pretty much all forest and mountains, what's up with that?

Can you explain this one a little bit? Why did the Japanese mess up the U.S. and Central America so much while everything else is pretty much intact? I think it looks like it might be some sort of WWII era propaganda though.

Fair warning, this post has images with plenty of  text. It's all rather informative, but you might not want your boss peering over your shoulder while you read this. Since it's Saturday I assume most of you are at home, though.Top porn searches from around the world. From here, which is about as as you can expect a site with "porn" in the name to be. 1Most countries have pretty predictable and standard search results, but at least Ukraine goes a bit more hard-core.  2The Kazakhs love girl-on-girl and BDSM.  3The Brazilians are a bit narcissistic, but they're nothing compared to the...  4...The Japanese, who keep it close to home.  5Just because there's a civil war on, doesn't mean you can't get your fill of incest.  6 Quite a few Nigerians had an oddly specific search term. 7I don't fault Ghanaians for preferring specifically black pornstars, but what's this obsession with girl-on-girl? Thanks to forum user Funkz for showing me this.

Fojar38 posted:It seems very likely that for countries like Afghanistan and Japan the majority of the searches are from US servicemen. Most Afghan's don't have the internet and I'll bet that there's probably Japanese porn sites. If that was the case, wouldn't those countries' results resemble America's as a whole more?
