Today...
Again and why I started with international relations and states as actors of their own. Would calling the chinese a bunch of no good scammars and racist terms lead to them starting an anti-american embargo? No. You know why? Because both states consider the trade relation they currently have to be enormously beneficial. Kind of like how were willing to trade countries with lousy human rights records. You should definitely check out international relations theories and see how well they predict state behavior. Regardless of the characters in charge. Read the Wikipedia article. As with most social science stuff I read, I feel pretty out of my depth, and I don't think I understood most of it :/ But yeah, you're right, no one's going to attack America that isn't already, since we've got a stupid big military and we trade with a lot of other states. I know it's an excessive worry, but I still irrationally think about it sometimes, I guess.

Can you explain it to me?

Today...
I've lived my whole life in Nebraska. For a 2-4 year period of middle/high school, I went with my dad to a shooting range and watched him and his buddies shoot...I don't even remember the terminology now, but the like clay disks that get flung out of the disk throwers. I never shot with them, and the one time they handed me a shotgun and forced me to take a shot at a completely still clay disk, I was super scared of the gun and didn't want at all to shoot it, and I never shot again afterwards. I was probably too young to really have an educated political opinion on guns, but these days I'm pretty anti-gun, and I think this country desperately needs better gun control. And I'm in one of the most conservative, gun-friendly states in the country. I don't really wanna have a gun debate, just pointing out that, while you're correct about lax gun control laws/conscription laws breeding support for that sort of thing, on an individual basis it doesn't necessarily apply. I still think I'd be afraid of military service if I lived in Estonia, and I doubt Estonia's military propaganda is as heavy as America's, so that can't be it either. And to clarify my Trump statement, I don't think he'd declare war (because the US is perfectly happy to just let our wars be run as executive actions, which is a whole other problem), I think he'd insult some other country the way he does with every minority in this country, and they'd declare war on us. It's probably not going to happen, because I have to believe this country is going to realize what Trump is saying at some point, and even if he does get elected, America has a scary military, but it's still a frightening concept to me.

Today...
Honest statement:I know it's not really a big deal where it exists, but the whole concept of forced military service terrifies me to no end. Like, I'm terrified Trump will get elected and with his lack of foreign policy experience we'll end up in a war and I'll get drafted. I literally can't fathom living in a country where every single (able-bodied male) person has to join the military because of the law, even if there's not a chance of going to war. Like, I think the barrier to entry is too high for me to legally qualify as a pacifist, but the older I get the more I feel like one, and the more the concept of the military is repulsive to me. Idk how other people deal with it, especially in places where they don't have a choice.

Pokemon Go
Maybe someone here can answer this question: do you get XP for walking? The other day I was walking my dog, and I had 6999 XP, and when I checked at the end of the walk I had 8005 XP, which means I somehow got a 6 XP boost when I was only hatching eggs and catching pokemon, both of which only give XP in multiples of 10, afaik. I thought the only thing that could get me 6 XP was gym battles. Walking XP seems to be the only answer...

Prove the person above you right.
Edit: So just to clarify, you are supposed to prove the pudding proof.

Prove the person above you right.
You're an opinionated [wagon], so I'm never going to convince you otherwise, and you'll always be right in your own mind. Forum games is a hellhole from which few truly escape. Oh well, at least the counting threads are gone.

Post a Picture of a Cat and Write What Sound You Think The Cat is Making at the Time of the Picture when the Picture is Being Taken of the Cat
Are you amused? No. Are you amused? I don't think I've ever been less amused in my life. Well good, I'm glad we can agree on this one. This cannot go on much longer. Soon she will have to feed us real meat. No more of this hard kibble? No, nor more of these ironic and cute meals of inedible rice. Soon, it shall be flesh and blood. But how? How? Because if not another's flesh and blood, soon it shall be hers! Okay, woah, hold on, I don't think we agree on this one anymore. I shall feast on her dextrous fingers and gain their powers of tools! Then I shall became the greatest animal! That's not even how that works! If you will not join me, sister, then you are against me! I shall consume you first, and your hatred will combine with mine, and I shall become ever powerful! Hahaha haha!

Yep, agreed with Goon, I don't get it.

The "Did you know..." game.
No, but then again, without the gold standard paper money is worthless and I already converted all my cash into gold coins which I use to make all my purchases. Did you know the planets in the universe will next align to their closest degree in 2854?
