They're supposed to be experts at getting a woman into bed, or keeping a woman such that they'll stay with a man. Many if not most pick up artists, if they're skilled enough, are definitely successful with women on some level. Some even succeed at attracting and keeping the wife they want devoted to them.

Anyhow, I know it to be true that it is a common situation for women to cheat, just as its common for men to cheat. A woman will typically date the Accountant but commit Fornication or Adultery with the ex-convict. All sorts of stuff happens behind closed doors, all sorts of secrets go on nowadays. A man has got to be super careful about how they roll and be on the alert for hidden signs.

Cheating in college dating is common and cheating in military relationships is common, but cheating among married couples is actually pretty rare.

I don't care about the political distinction, I find it hypocritical regardless of how you did it. For someone that claims that they don't support the rules outside of the context of being here, you sure seem to want to apply them as much as you can as you've repeatedly ran to moderation before in other instances to the extent I question whether you camp out there. Yeah, you can hide behind the excuse of "I support the Mods rights to enforce the rules" but that doesn't involve you actively aiding such efforts. As i said, it's pretty hilarious you claim to not want anyone banned but did a thread wherein you attempted to get multiple people in trouble.

As I said, it's extremely ironic that myself, as an Authoritarian, has never made a report thread in my stay here since 2011 while you have done so multiple times in your short time here despite being a supposed Libertarian.

I never said I didn't think anyone should be banned; I said that someone shouldn't be banned simply because of their political views. Reporting things to moderation is also a very small form of authoritarianism, so I'm sure when your authoritarian policies are taken into account, I will still be more "libertarian" than you are. The label is still accurate for me.

A majority of right wingers (both authoritarian and libertarian ones) tend not to report things to the mods. it is a culture I've been trying to change.

A lot of future maps tend to show Spain as balkanized, so I'm kinda curious about the likelihood of such.

None of us want to be humourless snitches, thanks.

I wasn't even thinking about that example of "humor" when I typed that. I've been to right wing regions, and sometimes people would puppet flood the region or do other shit, and the region natives would still would be hesitant to report it.

A nice chunk of people on this site doesn't trust the mods, and for good reason. The biggest reason includes a few who didn't leave the site following the Zeonic States pedophilia clusterfuck. While old Max Barry himself had to get involved that didn't repair their reputation.

People like to play up the Autonomous Communities a bit more than is actually plausible. Mind you, we are heavily politically divided, but it’s not quite along regional lines.

People report a pedophile extraordinaire who admitted to the sampling of the east Asian kiddie menu, and then the mods returned the favor by warning and banning them.

Suffice to say when the mods got their shit together, and Max Barry himself had to get involved the damage was done. Through Interpol was supposedly contacted to try, and contact the local authorities of whatever country the Zeonic States planned off sampling next.

Oh no, I was around to witness it, and you can actually find Max Barry's apology in the news section if you look hard enough. It also launched discussions about "moderator culture" due to the fact people got screwed over this who were just trying to do the right thing.

Nope, said individual also still has an account here if I remember correctly. Also, Benuty, we gotta be careful; the last time it was brought up they banned both of us.

No lol. Also guarantee moderation will shut this convo down if it continues. Happens every time.
Don't cry because it's coming to an end, smile because it happened.

I basically support the idea of a community based around no formal structures of authority or coercion, in which all decision-making is done spontaneously through universal consent, and all hierarchies are formed spontaneously by consent.

Truth so far as military couples. Even some of the drill instructors use that fact to mess with their recruits' heads. This USMC drill instructor asked a leatherneck in basic training if he had a girl back home, and when he said yes- the drill instructor told him that at that very moment- his woman was probably sleeping with dozens of other men whilst he was away, and that there was nothing he could do about it- just to try to mess with his head.

Needless to say, it got the recruit motivated and mad enough to persevere through the hard training. No matter the adversity, this Marine recruit trudged on and made that drill instructor proud. The military always looks for those who're a team player but will never quit, even if the going gets tough.
