Documentary recommendations?

Can anyone recommend a really good documentary? At the moment I am interested in the history of the European settlement of America. Maybe the Jamestown settlement or the Mayflower... that sort of thing. Anyone know of some decent docs which fit the bill (or any other great docs you think are worthwhile on any subject).

Is the Benelux geography the key feature in gunboat games?

I was writing a post on playdiplomacy's forum in a thread asking for country rankings in gunboat, and it struck me that the bottleneck between Switzerland and the English Channel totally changes the dynamic of the game when communication is gone. C/P from the post - read on.

Porn

Time to talk about porn. There are a couple of topics we can choose from.

Thucydides (864 )
20 May 12 UTC

1) Physiological effects of porn and porn addiction (see this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_263672&src_vid=zif0_60b3WU&feature=iv&v=wSF82AwSDiU)

2) Morality of porn (is it like adultery, etc.)

3) Misogyny (or lack thereof) in porn

4) Future of porn / proper place of porn / purpose of porn?

5) Porn stories of your own

6) Other topics you dream up

I'm confident we'll have a wide range of opinions and I'm excited to hear them. Shall we start with #1 then?

Thucydides (864 )
20 May 12 UTC

My post on the matter is made in the form of the video. I am now seriously thinking about trying to quit totally. Thoughts?

Thucy, has anyone ever told you you over-think things too much?

Thucydides (864 )
20 May 12 UTC

yes but I've thought about it and decided they're wrong :P

My thought life is the most important thing in life to me.

Thucydides (864 )

And if you can't be weird on the Internet well then... what the fuck is it for. Lol.

Thucydides (864 )
20 May 12 UTC

Also I'm happy to update anyone on this forum as to how it's going. I'll just go ahead and read krellin's well-wishes as genuine because yolo I can do that if I want whatre you gonna do type at me :P

largeham (149 )

Well, not number 6, I think this forum has heard enough from Conservative Man.

Thucydides (864 )

Hahaha +1

Okay well I hope you lovely people do actually start talking about pr0n. I'm headed out now but I'll be back tomorrow to read and contribute, peace.

I quit for a month and a half late last year, it's really only bad for about a week, and it definitely does help with a lot of things. I'm considering quitting again, for good.

Good luck Thucy.

@ghug

What would you say it helps with?

ghug (5068 )
20 May 12 UTC

The main thing was focus. I stopped procrastinating on schoolwork (which in turn led to better grades), and I spent more time doing useful things with my life instead of wasting my time doing pointless shit on the internet. There was also a bit of added social confidence and a sizable ghostrating jump, but those weren't as noticeable.

abgemacht (1076 )

"sizable ghostrating jump"

HA!

I'm with you with general wasting time on the Internet. That was a problem for me as well, which I've improved greatly on. But, there are plenty of ways to waste time online; I'm not sure any is better or worse than another.

largeham (149 )

I remember reading a screencap of a Yahoo Answers post, someone had asked what would happen if they stopped masturbating for a year. After a year, you start to sweat sticky semen, which eventually forms a cocoon. Then you will turn into a large white eagle, shooting lasers from your magical third eye.

Is it a legal diplomacy strategy? (hehe I am asking for a certiorari again)

The question is can you use 'cancel' as a legit diplomatic tool? Is it 'illegal' to force others to cancel instead of a 'draw' (as the game is realpolitik I am not much concerned with ethical sides but that is also open to discussion :P)

Hello everybody involved,

I will not talk about the games still going on, but i do have to adress the fact one player is CD'ing. In my opinion it is clearly influencing the outcome of the Tournament, so dont we have to do something about it?
Because the organiser of the Tournament is also playing, i dont know how else to adres this....

Why do people use character assassination

I don't know much about psychiatry, but why do people resort to character assassination? Is it because they are so narcissistic they can't except being wrong or have anyone disagree with them. It is just the last resort of an immature intellect?
