Results of Ukraine-Referendum in The Netherlands.
A referendum was held about the pending association treaty between the EU and Ukraine. My country is the only country that hasn't agreed yet, because of a referendum with the unofficial outcome: "no" to the treaty. Some 32% voter turnout.
I voted "yes" and the general thought is that many people voted "no" against the EU in general, with Ukraine as collateral.
Thoughts?

The Right to Bear Arms - A Repudiation
So it turns out that the right to bear arms was actually only intended insofar as the usage by paramilitary militia groups in the event of a prolonged and protracted occupation by an enemy. The modern day interpretation of our gun laws is a fallacy perpetrated by the gun lobby to keep people dying, and keep their coffers flowing.

Multiple coasts question
So in a live gunboat game, as Austria I had armies in Serbia and Rumania, and a fleet in Greece. So I set my orders for Gre-Bul (SC) supported by both Ser and Rum.

Is there a place for Diplomacy statistics?
I've been casually reading through Richard Sharp's "The Game of Diplomacy" and he keeps referencing statistics he got from somewhere. I know the book is very dated but I was curious as to if there was still somewhere I could find these statistics and if they've been kept up to date.

Is it possible to have exactly one electron sent through an electric circuit somehow?
What I ideally want is two power sources which send one electron each at the same time into one single electric circuit, observing which route is taken (indirectly).
Thoughts on whether this is possible? Thoughts on how to do this?

How statistically possible is it to only get France or Turkey when you play on classic?
Throughout my 20 or so games that I have played, I have been France and Turkey a disproportionate amount of times. I'm not complaining, it just seems weird. In 2 recent games that just started, I drew Turkey in one, and France in another.

So I met this girl
She is moderately attractive, and plays board games. She is very close to my age and is a soil scientist. I was thinking I would play it slow and do the whole friendzone thing for a while intentionally but with an M. Night Shamalyan twist at some point and I surprise her with a new board game we can play or something.

I have very strict philosophies about hook-up culture. Like, I just dont beleive in sleeping around like a manshirt. I like to take a woman out to do fun things; lazer tag, volunteering at the apple orchard, and just good normal wholesome types of dating habits.

If I had to rate her charisma score its probably around a 16 to a 17. I usually factor in willingness to do nerdy things as being worth a good +1 or +2 modifier in that regard. Plus if they seem more socially awkward than I am, thats also a plus.

For example every time she needed something she would hand me things to shuffle, and ask me to hand her the rules to the game. And ask me to deal things. I felt very useful and mobilized. I like being put to work and made actionable. Like I am totally an easy person to flip the light switch with.

I talked to her as we were leaving and I said, what do you do: she said shes a scientist for the government soil testing or something.

I said thats cool.

And she said not really.

I would say it went pretty good for how things usually go when I try to talk to pretty ladies.

Well, they're always married until their not. I once went into a surf shop and saw this really hot brunette and thought to myself "man, how do I end up with someone like that?" Turns out, she was the blind date my friends were setting me up with and we're married now. You only need to hit it out of the park once, frankly. Good luck, stay confident, don't take any shit, and have fun!

Hmmmm. Met her once, didn't ask her out, talking about her on a message board. You're getting close to stalker zone there... Either nut up and ask her out or quit talking about her.

And who puts themselves in the friend zone? Pursuing someone romantically doesn't require promiscuity.

Nut up = be brave, take a risk.
Not sure if the etymology is from having balls (nuts), or from risking your nut (fortune).

Get out while you can.
You do boardgames, she do boardgames.
Its a good start, instrad of smoking after sex you can talk about boardgames.
Gifts are a given.
She will belive you when you eanna go to a con, even more she wanna come with you....she will be there...do you realy want that?
One day you forget to cloose down your browser, she sees this place, she looks upp all your forum posts, she getts leverage.
She starts to play here.
One day you have to choose.
Support her to Stp or never get laid again.

Well I told her I love games like bang! and mafia. then we played bang! and I won. We also played some deduction games and in general I actually think shes very cool. I dont get out much or go anywhere as I hardly know anyone in this city. So shes kind of cool enough Id make a post about her. Maybe thats weird I guess.

So how exactly do you envision the next step, or is the plan to simply play boardgames and pick apples for eternity.

If you want her, I'd say either just do it or figure out roughly how you're gonna do it.

Sort of works as well, my point being that there's a chance you'll just be drooling from your safe friend zone if you don't know how far you want to go.

My biggest dislike of dating is that its calamity. There is nothing useful about it, whatsoever. You might as well wear a mask.

At least at my age, I have already been through many things. She said to me she has been through her crazy phase. We shall see. I look forward to finding out.
