    Trump Investigations Thread

    Yeah my advice for anyone who is even somewhat on the right, a Trump supporter, or even just not a rapid far lefty do not go anywhere near this! In fact, if you can, get out of New York for the next few days. Don't be anywhere near where they can pull some stupid glowie bullshit and get you...

    Logical goblin slayer

    To be fair Goblin Slayer has the excuse of being a genuinely traumatized wreck of a person held together almost entirely by his vengeance quest against goblins. Remember he watched his sister get raped to death while he was still like 10, all the while having to keep quiet so that he didn't get...

    China ChiCom News Thread

    While I share your skepticism in this situation, considering some of the shenanigans they pulled with Trump who can honestly say?

    Logical goblin slayer

    I also feel it is important to remember that the area Goblin Slayer operates in is called the Frontier for a reason. This is the backwater region at the edges of the Kingdoms influence and even then it is mentioned that the reason things have gotten so bad is because the army has had to pull...

    Saudi Arabia's Oil Reserves

    And the fact that people have been talking about peak oil since we started drilling for it. No joke peak oil was talked about all the way back in the 1800's, and a lot of the same people (politicians, beaurocrats, etc..) were the ones talking about and pushing it then.

    China ChiCom News Thread

    Not just that we are closer chronologically to Qin Shi Huang (First Emperor of a unified China) than he was to Egypt's Golden Age.

    Free Speech and (Big Tech) Censorship Thread

    While I could believe the FBI would do that. The article you posted is from the Babylon Bee.

    ASOIAF/GOT When did the Game of Thrones Saga End?

    Your argument is all over the place and just biased in favor in Rhae anyone who already supported Aegon wouldn't see it as moral failing, but as a necessary response. In fact they would probably be pissed if he didn't respond equally see World War 2 with the escalation of bombing campaigns...

    ASOIAF/GOT When did the Game of Thrones Saga End?

    That doesn't really work when the other side also has dragon's and can (and undoubtedly would have to) do the same thing burning either Winterfell directly or White Harbor as a whole city for a city. Rather than stopping the war it would have probably firmly united the other side against her for...

    ASOIAF/GOT When did the Game of Thrones Saga End?

    To be fair in-universe the power of Westeros' equivalent of the church was broken early into the Targaryean reign and reduced to basically a vassal of royal authority. Which is part of the reason why Cersei's decision to restore the Faith Millitant and weaken if not outright sever that vassalage...

    Gun Political Issues Megathread. (Control for or Against?)

    There is reason so much of Japanese media is about just how terrible their judicial system is.

    Stargate Through the Looking Glass and into Heaven.

    It's the same thing that screwed over the Asgard versus the replicators, not realizing that the replicators couldn't adapt to kinetic weapons as well as to more pure energy weapons. One of the things I love about this story is that you are really good at writing from the perspective of the...

    United States Biden administration policies and actions - megathread

    Well a large portion of those loans are held by the federal government itself. So I'm not exactly sure what the consequences of that would be.

    Business & Finance Economic Fallout: Pandemic, Brandon, Money Printer Go Brr, Ukraine.

    Carl actually states multiple times in the video he thinks the fires are just the work of normal accidents and incompetence since these places do have a lot of highly flammable materials in them and fires are relatively common. He thinks people are just experiencing selection bias since they are...
