If that's real then Vancouverites are some losers. You roll up with a generator and a circular saw with carbide teeth, you're not gonna lose.

My gut tells me rosey used to get gangbanged as well.

If I was Jewish, I would laugh at that.

Despite their often accurate characterizations of the west, Russia itself is kind of like North Korea. They spend all of their wealth on military so MOST Russians live in shit conditions.

Circumcision and hygiene:
If you have a foreskin, you retract it and wash under it, end of story.
Using soap is fine, you just need to be sure that all of it is washed away before rolling the foreskin forward - otherwise some will tend to be pushed into the urethra which is painful.
The foreskin doesn't have any magical properties that make it dirty more easily than say, an armpit. It is actually quite a bit LESS prone to smelling than either armpits or ball sack.
If you're an uncut male who doesn't shower for a period of time, you begin smelling from everywhere BUT the penis.
> What about babies?
A baby's foreskin is attached to the penis head (like glue). That keeps out all foreign matter (like diaper shit). As a parent, you have absolutely nothing to do. Some doctors may suggest forcibly retracting it, this is a terrible idea for reasons that should be obvious.
Some time around 6-8 years old, it will naturally detach. At this point your boy should already be able to at least partially wash himself, and you only have to instruct him to try to pull it back - if it hurts, that means it's not detached yet and he should try again later. Once he is able to do retract it, he can then begin washing it. Once he realizes it is pleasurable, there will never again be a concern for hygiene.

If you are dogmatically opposed to masturbation, this is one of few cases where circumcision actually serves a purpose. Firstly, there is never any need for your son to wash his penis so he can pretend it doesn't exist. Secondly, when he does discover masturbation, it is somewhat harder to do without a foreskin.

On the "health benefits" of circumcision:
> It reduces the spread of HIV
This is kind of like when cheerios sponsors a study to prove that cheerios are good for your heart. It's very under-handed.
The claim is that less mucus membrane, that is allowed to dry out, is less absorptive. Which is not wrong, but it's also not that effective. Whereas a condom is perfectly effective.
The second reason why this is under-handed is because spreading HIV is REALLY HARD. In the worst case scenario (a man with HIV ejaculates inside of you), your risk of catching it is 1 in 20. Any sexual contact less than that, the risk is even lower.
And that's just for one person to contract it, for it to actively spread through a community, the amount of promiscuity needs to be so high that circumcision is just not going to change the outcome.
> It reduces the risk of penile cancer
Well, not really. It eliminates the possibility of a condition called phimosis, which is a risk driver for penile cancer.
Phimosis is a condition where the foreskin remains too tight to retract into adulthood. This is a relatively rare condition and is addressable in a number of different ways including steroid creams, stretching, minor surgical interventions - and of course adult circumcision.
Men with phimosis SHOULD get it treated, but it's rare and not that hard to deal with. There are so many other "rare and not that hard to deal with" conditions out there, that singling out phimosis as the one you want to prevent doesn't really make any sense.

Circumcision is a contentious and slightly taboo topic - as such, there is a lot of superstition and bad information out there.
Most people either know nothing, or have strong opinions.
Most men are pre-disposed to prefer everyone be like them. Most doctors are pre-disposed to prefer whatever makes them the most money.
If you search "Should I circumcise my son" on google, you will think there's a Scientific Consensus that it's beneficial.
But if you seek out anti-circumcision material, you will think it's one of the most heinous and barbaric practices ever to have beset the human race.
The reality is that the health benefits are minuscule at best, and the harm described in the anti-circumcision community is often overblown or lacking in concrete evidence.
It should be immediately obvious that most cut men live normal fulfilling lives. It should also be obvious that being uncut does not carry any real health risks because otherwise these problems would be well known in Europe, where circumcision is near nonexistent.
My personal opinion is that none of the perceived benefits outweigh the risk of complications from surgery (doctor slips with the knife). This type of thing happens with a non-trivial regularity, and the result are life-altering and sometimes deadly.
Is there anyone here who is planning to become parents and is faced with this question?

Democrats: We WILL hurt you, we WILL take your stuff, and there's NOTHING you can do about it.
Also Democrats: Trump wants us all in camps, and his voters are ok with that, what happened to civility??? 😳😳😳

Yeah I run servers in tmux, fite me systemd cucks.

I don't really have any crypto investments, I lost the keys to my BTC a few years ago. I have a small crypto project that's not worth much, I'm trying to create an autonomous cjdns network out of it but it's an up-hill battle.
Everything is an uphill battle in this economy, government prints money and uses it to hire political loyalists, then this causes more inflation making everyone else poorer.
Now about 2000 Mules, you have your opinion and I have mine - neither of us can say we really know any of this for a FACT, it could all be Plato's Cave. But between the more-or-less incontrovertible surveillance videos, and the numeric irregularities, I think it's more likely than not that 2020 was stolen.
If you want to know my politics, well, the only presidential candidate I've ever really been excited about was Ron Paul. But alas, they ran 12 people against him to split the vote and make sure he couldn't win. I'm still not over Bush's opiate epidemic, normalization of torture, and general destruction of the American lifestyle. And I'm also not over Clinton's WTO and NAFTA gutting the American economy.
I have vague childhood memories of the 90s, and to imagine a person living in that era and saying "yeah, lets send all the factories to China, lets create the Patriot Act and normalize torture, then we'll start endless wars, print 30Tn$ and create an opioid epidemic".
Mere public execution is far too kind for these people.
So what do I think of Trump? Well, the people who destroyed the country I grew up in all seem terrified of him, so that's about the best endorsement anyone can give.
If he stands a chance of shutting down the federal government, that's even better.
But who knows how things will really end up, a person like you or I have very little chance of influencing anything, the best we can hope for is to try to predict where things are heading and get out in front of them.
I'd rather be trying to build something in a We're Going To Mars world than try to carve out some niche for myself in a multi-century long Fall of Rome timeline where everything keeps getting just a tiny bit worse every year.

> we're not settling Mars
I remember when electric cars were universally considered to be unrealistic.
I remember when full-flow staged combustion was a dream that the soviets tried to achieve but couldn't figure out, and it was thought to be impossible.
It was just a couple years ago that nobody gave satellite internet a second thought, it was just assumed that it would always be "slow expensive backup". Now it turns out that low orbit and beamforming technology can do more than anyone thought, and with the potential for inter-satellite laser connections, the future economics ANY fiber infrastructure is called into question.
---
"we're not settling Mars" is a totally legitimate statement, when the "we" is a civilization that abandoned the Saturn V to build the "Space Shuttle" (which wasn't a shuttle in any meaningful sense of the word), and then realized it was too expensive, but only after they'd lost the competency to build the Saturn V, so they just gave up.
And it's not like society just gave up on space, they gave up on everything. Cheap nuclear energy, flying cars, robot maids, cancer cures. All of these things were "within reach" in the 1960s, but around 1971 humanity just stopped trying.
Now you can call me an Elon fanboy, but this is a guy who managed to pull off engineering feats that I did not think were possible, multiple times now. And these were real tangible things which changed the course of human history. So if I have to pick his civilization or yours, no offense but I'm going with him.

The question you should be asking is who are going to be the big losers. The way you balance the books is someone has to get chopped up. Start looking through major banks and checking political alignment of their top management.

If I'm right, The Great Reset is a bait-and-switch, and the real objective is basically like Golgafrinchan Ark Fleet Ship B. A lot of do-nothings are about to get stuffed into 15 minute cities and forgotten.

If you live in a swing state, this is the best odds lottery you can ever possibly play. I doubt there are more than 10-20 thousand people signing per-day and the pot is $1mn.
