I have one lying around for I think opening the Eigth Gate of some necronomicon or other. Finding pure copper that had never seen the sun is harder than you'd think.

The whole Tiananmen thing is so ridiculous. Chinese government's official estimate? ~300 deaths. People who were in the square? No one died in the square, good mood between soldiers and students, soldiers asked students to leave when dickass CIA plant started trying to start a riot, students left with no problems, ~300 people were killed (including PLA soldiers, many of whom were unarmed!) in fighting several blocks from the square. Every credible source that wasn't just making up unhinged bullshit - About 300 people died.

It's so damn frustrating, it's just pure, utter bullshit but libs believe it with nigh-religious ferver and certainty.

I am convinced, based upon both cultural observations and the research I've read, that porn addiction isn't real or is very uncommon and most of these people are so traumatized by their Christian Fascist upbringing that they have a pathological terror of their own more or less normal sexuality and sexual function. They're so warped by purity culture and christianity that they've convinced themselves en masse that normal biological functions and behaviors are evidence of something seriously wrong and then come up with some impressively maladaptive behaviors to cope.

Among other evidence is American's centuries long obsessive campaign to stop men from masturbating. If you know about the many, many bizarre psuedoscientific efforts to stop men from masturbating in the history of us christianity the whole nofap/porn addiction industrial complex looks like a natural outgrowth of that trend once it hit the internet's potential for generating insular cults and mass delusion.

About 750k people were killed in the Great Purge according to the Soviet Archives. that's bad, but it's not nearly on the same level of the Holocaust and was at least nominally done for political reasons instead of just race hatred and a desire for more land.

Like don't get me wrong, the Great Purge was a Soviet L and at the very least they should have been far more cautious about how they went about it, but it's not comparable to hte Holocaust.

Ahh, yes, a fresh new reason to hate the American Kennel Club. Give it to me in my veins.
