My girlfriend told all her friends that I drink her piss

She(19f) told them about how at first I(19m) only had her pee on my face, before we moved further and had her piss directly into my mouth. We had talked about this before and agreed not to tell anyone. But then she went on and bragged about it to all of her friends anyways. It’s just really embarrassing.

But when I confronted her she said it is her sex life and she has the right to tell her friends. Am I wrong for being upset about her telling them?

nah not even once!

you don't piss and tell, absolutely haram

Yeah, about that... there were only two and they weren't sure one of them wouldn't just slam into the ground unexploded. But the Soviets didn't know that so it was all good.

The japanese empire was one of the sickest most fucked up and indecent things to ever have existed, it was a nation in the thrall of a cult beyond anything we parody today in fiction or science fiction, it genuinely boggles the mind the degree to which japanese society had become sickened on the virile blood of the continent, and to what extent they had percolated all the worst instincts of the western imperial powers like a gutter at the arse of the earth.

If anyone in human history had deserved a nuke it was them or the nazis, it isn't even close.

[Nintex]

The Japanese fought for every floating rock to the death, the idea that Japan would surrender without a fight was just wishful thinking from certain politicians.
It would've been Vietnam x 100. Every hill, dwelling and road turned into a kill zone.

Say what you will about dropping the bomb, I just think it’s actually interesting that amongst the consensus at resetera it’s obvious that the US dropped the bombs because we were racist and hated innocent, helpless Japanese people.

Not once was it mentioned that in 1942 we were hangin loose on the beaches of Hawaii, enjoying some spam and pineapple sandwiches when suddenly we were in the most cowardly way imaginable, pulled into the hellish nightmare that was the pacific theatre. It’s easy to say, this or that was going to happen but the reality was kids were still dying in the jungles of the pacific and we were over it. We didn’t start the fight but we finished it.

The bomb was designed to end the war and it did. It probably saved Europe and China from a Russian Soviet invasion too.

In hindsight we should've followed through with Operation Unthinkable and take out the commies in Moscow too.
Leaving things unfinished was the biggest mistake. Millions imprisoned until at least the 90's and some are still held captive by criminal regimes.

If they knew then what we know now they wouldn't have hesitated to drive to Moscow after Berlin.

You're insane as always. The Soviet Army would have steamrolled the US/UK troops and held all of Europe rather than just the East.

I wrote a carepost this morning that the server wisely ate. It essentially boiled down to ‘one death is a tragedy, a thousand deaths is a statistic’, ‘why are the memes always Floyd and not Garner?’, and ‘any public figure using social media has to be a proper twat to touch dodgy memes’.

I maintain that I wouldn’t want to trust the risk management and hazard perception skills of that goon on the track 

Edit: don’t mean to besmirch benji, my internet is being shit, not ‘the server’.

3.1 million Japanese died in World War II, at least 800,000 of which were civilians, they're upset about ~200,000 who unfortunately had to experience the pre-thermonuclear bombs and so were not instantly obliterated.

This is interestingly the same number of Chinese murdered (but not the number raped, beaten and tortured but not murdered) by the Japanese over six weeks in Nanking.

If the United States had used Soviet or Japanese war methods, or maybe even German ones, rather than American ones (that dated back for the entire country's history and even were used in the Civil War which still maybe killed a million) there might not have been any Japanese people left. We probably would have tried to sink the islands with explosive tonnage.

They take completely for granted what is a rather unique American invention of "clean precision" warfare that almost nobody else in the world has ever followed because it's essentially tied to American culture in the first place.

User Banned (1 Month): Concern trolling regarding racism across multiple posts

It is not extra when you understand the historical and political context in which this took place. When America eases up on all the goddamn racism I will sympathize with a stray chair hit. Regardless, she shouldn't have intervened in her man's ass whopping, and her man shouldn't have gotten involved in the first place.

White folks need to learn when to leave well enough alone. If it had to be a fight because the thought of following a simple direction from a Black man in a position of authority was so untenable, it still wouldn't have escalated into a national moment had the other notecards just let homeboy fight his own battle.


He just needed a moment to catch his breath.

Refer to this talking point to see my thoughts on the matter:

i didnt consider the historical context. also im in the west coast so these things dont dwell in the back of my mind all day long so i get your point... gotta say seeing this still doesnt elicit joy like it does in some in this thread... its all gross to me

Also a white guy potentially voicing a Black character, so another red flag there.

Looks like some posts got deleted. What kind of dictatorship is Benji running here

I know you're not serious but for transparency's sake I want to note: I have not deleted any posts on here ever, some users have deleted posts before. Venice seems to be most common. I assume it's mostly double posts or something that people are deleting. I've only ever looked at one deleted post to see what it was and did not undelete it. I've looked at two posts that were erased by edits just to laugh at the Italian guy.

Yes, I can restore any deleted (or edited) post by users. I felt this was the best balance between allowing users freedom in these regards while allowing the possibility of action if needed for some reason I cannot foresee. The disconnect in page counts seems to be required if I keep it like this rather than make the posts disappear completely, if people would like to request/debate whether or not posts should be instantly permadeleted by the users I have no problem entertaining that in the feedback thread. For the record, the reason I didn't set it to this is so that people like Borys or riotous or Himu wouldn't throw a fit a decade down the road and wipe out all their posts one day. I'm not a fan of that.

Good reason not to post anything criminal since it means I can just undelete it rather than have to turn over the database to your prosecutors.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/may/22/obama-japan-hiroshima-interview-no-apology

Critics argue that by not apologizing, Obama will allow Japan to stick to the narrative that paints it as a victim.

The Abe administration has affirmed past government apologies for Japanese actions during the war, but asserts that future generations should not have to apologize for the actions of their forebears.

Sounds like the only people upset are unnamed "critics"? Have they tried getting over it and spending their time on things that matter? Has Japan apologized for starting the war or just "actions" during it?

Not sure what his community has to do with his stances and thoughts on trans issues. He doesn't decide what is and isn't for the trans community. If trans people find something to be transphobic, you listen to them. Not debate bro guy.

Cis men don't get to dictate anything with trans issues, period. ESPECIALLY when it comes to telling trans people that we're wrong about transphobia. "He has a trans community" doesn't excuse shit.

The reason I bring up his trans community because, either he's doping all of them and he is, at the very least, doesn't care to listen to trans people, or, the more simple theory, is he is listening to his trans community and his trans community don't care about Cyberpunk. Trans people make up 12% of his community. It's not like their voice are not heard or being ignored. We all on this forum know trans people are under attack every single day just in this shit hole county, let alone the rest of the world. We also know that trans people find safe spaces online because that can be one or the only safe space to be open. We also know video games are one of those safe spaces. It's understandable, and rightfully so, that trans people are extra defensive when it comes to these places. He even has admitted the game is problematic when it comes to trans issues. But to say its outright transphobic is an exaggeration. We're 2 and a half years separated from the game. We all know exactly what that game is now. I will say CD Projekt Red definitely did some transphobic shit, something he didn't argue against. Arguing with trans people doesn't mean you don't listen. And every trans person doesn't need to like him. But to say he doesn't listen is silly.

[books]

The Wizard game boycott was too frantic/insane and didn't do too well so you have to double dip on the Cyberpunk is transphobic classic hit single like when Elton John re-released Candle in the Wind.

I agree with you.

I think what makes George Floyd an exception (at the moment at least) to comparisons like Hitler jokes, Holocaust jokes, 9/11 jokes, etc... is the manner of his death. Having another man's knee pressed against your neck for almost 10 minutes while you suffocate slowly, all the while pleading for help.

No one deserves to die in such a dehumanising and humiliating way. 

I'm not against the death penalty for the most heinous and worst crimes, like child murderers and rapists. But make it quick. For me at least, and I am sure most others on this forum, there is no pleasure or satisfaction in seeing someone suffer an agonising death.

George Floyd didn't do anything that even remotely warranted such cruel treatment. Conservatives like to trot out his criminal record and that he was arrested and jailed for 4 years for robbery, as some kind of justification for his death. They deliberately neglect to mention that afterwards he tried to change his life around and worked with a local church to discourage youth violence.

Basically, the textbook model prisoner who was almost reformed.

I understand the comparison to Eric Garner, but I guess the timing was different. It was May 2020, the height of the international lockdown, people sitting at home, bored, frustrated, angry and the Floyd incident provided the inappropriate spark as an outlet for heightened tensions.

I agree with both of you, but I also feel strongly that people shouldn't lose their livelihoods over non-work-related issues, as much as possible

all technicalities aside, yes this particular guy is only "suspended," and yes you could say that the way he conducts himself could be said to reflect badly on the company, I'm speaking in general, where losing your job in our current world can rapidly lead to losing absolutely everything and google searches of your name mean you can actually never seek employment again

and it may be somewhat contradictory to think "to make fun of this is particularly cruel and awful" and "people shouldn't have their life ruined for making fun of it"

it's just that there is no possible way to define a standard for this

there was a time when being openly gay or trans would "reflect badly on the company" and be grounds for firing, or not being christian enough

these days we even have situations where supporting trans causes gets you fired (the person at Bud who courted Mulvaney) but also being anti-trans gets you fired (the Limited Run person above), it's a fucking shitshow

everyone draws the line on unacceptable statements/jokes/memes at different places and to allow open season on it leaves everyone on pins and needles, a chilling effect, because who knows what topic is someone else's personal George Floyd

I don't know of a solution, I suppose a first step is not taking any action if the person apologizes and promises not to do it again, because that way at least if they refuse, you have the actual work-related reasoning of insubordination to your boss's request

I've said it before. The solution is to not use Twatter. It's a fucking nightmare for anyone with any sort of public profile.

Fun thread where half the thread try to apply modern day sensibilities and morals to a total world war where everyone was killing everyone else and the other half slapping that nonsense down. How many will be banned for "Downplaying nuclear war" since that is now apparently now a ban reason?

The fact that you guys had to drop a second one before those crazy fucks surrendered kind of makes the discussion moot.
