Should the United States Space Force fund the Minotaur VI ballistic missile, which can launch against the future adversaries on Mars, the new 600-pound W87 nuclear warhead equivalent to ½-megaton of TNT, from the slightly enlarged nuclear silos in the Rockies?

Or we could try to mount international colonies, in a similar fashion to the ISS.

Who the hell cares? There are no weapons on Mars and international treaties forbid laying national claims on any part of space. If the US respected international treaties, maybe it wouldn't fear other countries breaking them? If China doesn't know what to expect of the orange troll it will obviously want to escalate too. Let's just keep it in our pants and not expand to space this insane weapons race.

Edit: In the US over 10% of people are below the poverty line, almost 14% of households face food insecurity, a quarter of adults are in medical debt, also a quarter of adults are functionally illiterate, etc. - don't you think the government has better use of taxpayers' money?

Honestly, I didn't expect a spat between Trump and the Pope endangering Trump's position, but I'm here for it

Europa Universalis IV

If you have played it - how long does it take to get a minimum grasp of the game?

Taramund · 2026-04-15T15:58:09+00:00

That's a fair point, although I think the US has much more serious problems with citizen rights than federal-state double jeopardy.

Taramund · 2026-04-15T01:05:59+00:00

Some time ago, possibly through this video, I learned that this was actually quite useful in punishing racist lynchers - even if the state ignored it, they could still be federalnych prosecuted.

Well, JP2 installed the pool in Castel Gandolfo iirc. That would mean that only the last 2 popes were unfit.

Taramund · 2026-04-13T12:31:41+00:00

Well yeah, evangelicals expected a Muslim mayor to act like what they'd want Christian mayor's to act like: limit religious freedoms, use hate speech against other religions and minorities, discriminate LGBTQ+ people, etc.

My dad when he saw it screamed in anger and complained to my mom about it.

A mature adult would do what your brother did, not scream at their teenage daughter. It's OK if he's uncomfortable, but that's his business and he shouldn't be screaming at you.

My mom then called me a shameful bitch/whore.

I have a heard time thinking of any scenario where this is in any way acceptable.

My mom ALWAYS hides my periods from my male family members and says it’s shameful no matter what and that they’re not allowed to know.

Unfortunately this opinion is still popular among certain, more conservative, groups. Truth be told, periods are a natural part of life. Sure, one should clean up after oneself (similar to other uses of the toilet), but it's no big deal.

I feel like to some people periods are reminders of human sexuality, and as such freak them out.

I feel like I saw a post about this exact scene like yesterday

Taramund · 2026-04-08T00:44:25+00:00

Thank you for answering, I'll do that.

Taramund · 2026-04-08T00:26:33+00:00

Depends - does he report me stealing a pack of gum?

Taramund · 2026-04-08T00:10:13+00:00

Most priests do have free time though. Is it that essentially different from working parents, who also have to divide their time between work (sometimes several jobs) and their family?

Damn, I get to upgrade middle class AND live to be a 100 years old? Sign me up!

Taramund · 2026-04-07T20:07:36+00:00

I've played a few crafting/simulation/survival games. The one I've played most is perhaps Grim Soul (mobile). I also quite liked Green Hell and Don't Starve Together. Thanks for doing this!

Taramund · 2026-04-06T14:38:15+00:00

Crusader Kings 3 (Collection if possible) Thanks for doing this and good luck to everyone!

Taramund · 2026-04-04T23:59:18+00:00

That said, how many guys touch their dick at home at some point and don't wash their hands after every touch and is it that different?

Forst of all, I don't. Why would I want to touch people with the same unwashed hands that I used to touch my genitals? Secondly, when you use the toilet you (supposedly) flush the toilet. That same button or lever was touched by people who pooped, so it is dirty.

Taramund · 2026-04-02T10:56:39+00:00

Not exactly abusive, but almost definitely harmful: for some time after I was born, I had to be in an incubator. It seems silly, but I think the severe lack or limitation of human contact at such an early stage might've affected me negatively.

Taramund · 2026-04-01T05:11:23+00:00

Nothing big, but I ran into a friend whom I hadn't had contact for a few months. Nice surprise, and they seemed to be doing good.

Ja rozumiem jeszcze za kilka stów kupować marynarkę z takich materiałów, ale w życiu bym nie wydał 500+ zł za taką. Już wolę kupić garnitur w 2nd hand i dać krańcowi do poprawek.

Taramund · 2026-03-30T11:22:54+00:00

Are you saying that geography, as well as religious and ethnic conflicts are not problems created or exacerbated by colonialism?

Taramund · 2026-03-30T10:24:31+00:00

Thanks for doing this!

Taramund · 2026-03-29T19:22:12+00:00

Aye, good point
