    Relationship stuff since I know some of you are interested and your stuff has been super helpful to me.
    So on Wednesday Mazzxx said we needed to talk and I felt similar. So she would figure a way to spend time with me this Saturday. She came through. Now anxious Mazzyx brain was like, "She is soooooooooooooooooooooo breaking up with you."

    But it was the opposite. It was kind of that state of the relationship thing. We talked through where we were and where we think its going. Shared some stuff that was kind of a bombshell which I won't share on the boards. And both came out of it with a stronger relationship. Also cuddling on the couch why she did laundry.

    Sadly she had to head out for work stuff, about an hour late but whatever. That was more laundries fault than mine.

    So I would say non-inference agreed upon long term relationship get?

    pan-scandinavism was a pretty cool idea, too bad it died horribly

    What we got does feel like something very fitting to the scandinavian spirit

    peoples who usually express "You are my dearest friend, I love you and I would do anything for you" through a grunt as a beer is passed, the fact that we have no formal treaties or agreements of defense but it's still just taken as granted that one would go to war for the other

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Bøllebank
    Operation Bøllebank (English: Operation Hooligan Bashing[1]) was the first combat operation conducted by Danish Armed Forces since World War II. In April 1994, a Danish contingent with elements of the Jydske Dragonregiment on peacekeeping duty in Bosnia, as part of UNPROFORs Nordic battalion (Nordbat 2) located in Tuzla, was ambushed, when trying to relieve a Swedish and Norwegian observation post, Tango 2, that was under heavy artillery fire by the Bosnian Serb Šekovići brigade at the village of Kalesija, but the ambush was dispersed when the UN forces retaliated with heavy fire.

    that name is still one of my top ever Operation names

    I personally prefer either the American school of over the top names, eg. Freedom Dragon, Skullfuck Eagle etc. or the sinister blandness of corporate and/or German names like Fall Gelb, Fall Rot etc.

    The modern american ones just make me roll my eyes.

    I mean ideally, i think a churchill memo is about this, the name of an operation is nondescript, and also something you could tell a grieving mother her son died in.

    So, sinister or bland.


    Or say fuck both those things because no time, the joke became the name and now you've got Bøllebank.

    And the corporation continues to consolidate. And nobody minds.

    AT&T has reached a deal to buy Time Warner for more than $80 billion in what would become a colossal corporate merger, the Wall Street Journal reported Saturday.

    In what some analysts are calling an unprecedented “seismic shift” for the media and technology world, the deal could turn the legacy telecom carrier into a media titan the likes of which America has rarely seen.

    A combination between the two companies could rival some of the biggest mergers in history, with AT&T potentially gaining control over hugely valuable brands spanning television, film, sports, news, video games and mobile and residential Internet service.

    Regulators are going to inspect the shit out of this deal but the AT&T-TimeWarner lawyer army probably has already scoped out the angles

    Clinton's going to be president, it's going to be a very friendly presidency to scifi megacorp formation

    of course Trump would probably just give them branches of government to run

    the joys of getting to choose between the Business Party and the Even More Business Party but Also Racism and Jesus

    Trump thinks the median income, employment, and standard of living is higher in China and Russia than it is in America

    It's insane to listen Trump talk about America, yeah America is hot garbage compared to other similarly wealthy nations if you're poor, but he talks about American cities like they're Baghdad in 2005

    Looks like I'm not going to visit my husband this weekend since he's just trying to sleep off illness.

    Which means civilization forever hooray! Also I get to see my aunt who is briefly here from california tomorrow instead of being out of town to miss her visit, so that's cool.

    I wrote this in the civ thread but civ changes my backlit keyboard to red when I'm at war which is pretty much the coolest thing I have ever seen and I thought I should share.

    You have less long term security, though, insofar as there's a non-zero chance that your team of oligarchs loses out in an internal struggle and you get sent to Siberian prison. By contrast, our oligarchs are much more velvet glove with each other.

    Plus anyone else interested in influencing an undecided's vote

    I've decided on all the elections but I'm looking at my ballot and there's a proposal to legalize euthanasia in Colorado. You need to be 18 or older with a terminal illness, and you need to be able to self administer the drugs (i.e. your power of attorney can't choose it for you in a coma or something). Your doctor needs to estimate your time remaining at less than six months. There's no requirement for a psychiatric sign off.

    On the one hand I have struggled with suicidal thoughts so I am uncomfy with no psychiatric doctor involved. On the other, from talking about trans issues a lot I am uncomfy with the idea of a psych needing to sign off on important decisions about your body.

    Idk someone convince me to vote a certain way.
