  • Can we exert more influence over China if we work with them?

    We thought the same thing back in the late 90s and early 00s. It didn’t work out very well for us. It gave them the economic and technological means to surveil their people and build up their military, while we benefited from cheap goods, but at the cost of losing our manufacturing base and electing someone who probably has serious brain damage. Who will now run our country into the ground.

    All in all, I expect serious damage to our country, and China to go after Taiwan with their considerable military to grind up their young men, who have no chance of ever having a family after the one child policy screwed up their gender balance so badly.

    If you have to hitch yourselves to another state, I recommend Europe over China.







  • All stuff outside the ER (which you should definitely be seeing if you are losing circulation to core organs and extremities).

    Of course you can still have a relationship, haha. Some people aren’t really even into penetrative sex. And if you are, there’s medicines that can help, and Bad Dragon even makes a handful of special wearables that give you a… superstructure even if you are floppy (not compatible with condoms, just fyi). Also, even though you are hetero, getting penetrated with toys can also be incredibly fun once you work up to it. Don’t discount other avenues for pleasure as you are sitting (lol) on a gold mine even if you do have problems getting it up. It’s one of those IRL lifehacks that they don’t tell you about in health class.

    Anyways, sex should be the least of your worries right now. You’ll be fine whatever comes to pass, though. :)



  • I want kids, but the government is doing their damndest to make it as difficult as possible for us by crashing the economy, cutting all federal programs, staffing agencies with NPCs, etc. Give generous paternity leave stipulations, tax credits, legalize surrogacy, and give credits for AI (artificial insemination) and surrogacy. Not to mention universal healthcare and child care credits.

    Make it easy for us to have kids, and we will, lol. Quit cockblocking us.

    We need an income tax and wealth tax on those with over $50m in assets (including taxing the base 50m). Then we can close existing shortfalls from the pandemic, reduce or eliminate sales tax, and have a better and more equitable tax structure.

    Which will be incredibly important, since that fucking cunt is going to blow a massive hole in our $60b+ in our yearly exports.



  • Swimming is definitely something that should be taught as part of schooling. Perhaps you’ll never need it, but it is an important skill to have in case of an emergency, whether that’s falling into a pool, getting caught in a flood, or saving a small child in a body of water.
