  • Isn’t this the same argument as “if women can’t have abortions, they will stop having sex”?

    Nobody gets married under the assumption they will get divorced. Marriage is supposed to be a gesture of a life long commitment.

    On top of that, there are financial benefits to getting married.

    I highly doubt this would stop anyone from getting married.

    People should stop getting married because it’s a government contract based in religion - it’s gross and I don’t want either of those things being involved in my relationships.

    Whether you’re surrounded by them depends a lot on your rank. My brother is Navy here in Australia. He’s not a clever guy, and he’s on the right.

    However, I’ve met some of the people he worked with in leadership positions, and they’re at worst centrist (or at least know how to keep quiet for the sake of being amicable)

    That’s not to say being smarter innoculates you against a culture of indoctrination, but it does seem to be strongest at the low end of the spectrum.


  • While I agree with you, I don’t think this is the right way to go about it.

    For what it’s worth, both sides of the vaccine debate need to make some concessions.

    While the vaccines should have been taken by every healthy person to protect those who cannot be vaccinated, they didn’t deliver the promise of reducing transmission, only lowered the severity of illness (obviously still a good thing).

    Also, the listed side effects, while being mild compared to the fullblown effects of covid, were not well understood and many people had symptoms like myocarditis after getting the Pfizer vaccine.

    The other side, however, has a lot more concessions to make. The vaccines were nowhere near as dangerous as they claimed.

    The claim that they were “experimental” is kind of interesting. It’s technically not true because they did have clinical trials. However, mRNA based vaccines were approved for the first time in many countries to immunise against COVID.

    Many of these health regulators didn’t have the luxury of auditing these new styles of vaccine with their own establish policies and timelines.

    My takeaway is this: Virologists say there will be another pandemic eventually, and COVID was a dress reversal.

    As deadly as COVID was, it is very mild compared to some of the natural viruses we are aware of and could potentially hop species.

    If we are to prepare for that, we need to iron this shit out before then. We cannot be bickering about whether it is against “muh freedom”. We need to be considerate of others, even at the expense of our comfort.






  • I’m still waiting for my proposal regarding instant orgasm to be classified as sexual assault regardless of whichever animal it’s cast on.

    I don’t care how hard it is to breed Panda’s, we can’t just make them nut on command.

    I’m not pointing fingers here, we’ve all made our pets seize on the ground for a good twenty minutes or so while we finish the latest episode of Keeping Up with Prostatulus uninteruppted, but we’ve got to do something to stop the fucking apprentices from doing it for shits and giggles, it’s pretty sick when you stop to think about it.

    At a bare minimum limit the orgasms to one minute, and necessitate a bodily fluid retention spell. I’m tired of stepping over the puddles when sneaking out the newbloods quarters.
