Polls: Society & Politics

Recent statistics indicate that people are reading more non-fiction history books. Per Bloomberg, history books and podcasts are gaining popularity.

In the US, which has a generally flat book market, the history category grew 6% in 2024, research firm Circana reported. And it’s a global phenomenon: In the UK and Ireland, more was spent on history books in 2023 than at any other point since Nielsen started keeping track in 1998. In addition, people are getting their history fix through podcasts. Bloomberg reported the rise of several widely listened to history-themed podcasts, including “The Rest is History,” which has 12.5 million downloads per month.

What about you? Are you reading more non-fiction?

Seriously, how did this man become so amazing?

I don't know much about the Monarchy , however based on the Emphisis out on Catherine . and telling by her Support base, it appears that Kate Middleton might Supercede William when he Takes the Crown. As Most if Britain is entirely Feminist. And like America The Male issues remaining identical. My question is Will Kate Middleton be the Ne Monarch of Britain?

People are only faithful to their partner, because they don't have a choice otherwise or feel compelled to by their upbringing. The options are typically "get one person and sleep with them" or "stay single and sexually frustrated". Some people can sleep with whoever they want without needing commitment, but most cannot. Monogamy is a sort of a "necessary evil", not an intrinsically "desirable outcome".

“But it’s good for children”, you might retort, “having parents’ partners go in and out of their lives is bad for their development” and that is the only time, where monogamy becomes relevant. Imagine, if you will, that the population is rendered immortal and/or never ages. Reproduction is now immaterial, because you have an indefinite lifespan. Changes the equation quite a bit, doesn’t it? If there’s no need for children, but the urge to f*ck is still there, why not pursue it completely and relentlessly? Enjoy pure pleasure, as much as possible, without restraint or complication—granted, we’d have to eliminate all STIs, but I digress.

All of which is to say, if every person alive could enjoy an entire population of their choosing, having sex with as many different people as often as they desired, vs settling down with just the one, why would anyone choose the latter over the former? Nobody would limit themselves, if they didn't have to. Monogamy is forced upon people.

Do you agree with this idea? Why or why not?

The white, middle-class family suburban towns are a dying kind. Traditions are dying with them. I would like to see white family towns be preserved to an extent. Home cooked meals, independence (no govt overreach), a good work ethic, and church attendance is always welcomed!

POTUS is an important job that MUST be somewhat insulated from lawfare - you would have to be a naive fool to think otherwise.

That said let's flip it a bit. Is justice TRULY served for any alleged victim just because the accused has "an important job"? Is justice delayed justice denied?

Should POTUSs be temporarily shielded from civil litigation for events that took place BEFORE sitting?

Is there the potential for real people with or without STANDING to depose / harass a POTUS interminably so as to interfere with the job?

Is there the potential for real people WITH standing to be denied justice because of the office of the alleged offender?

IYKYK me & my opinion on some issues, I have to look right just to see Karl Marx (ya like that one fellas? 🤣😂🤣) BUT this "far lefty" ACKNOWLEDGES & AGREES that the greater good MUST skew toward some variant of POTUS being allowed to delay / abey litigation but HOW FAR until the deference becomes a problem for proper administration of justice?

Presidents aren't kings but neither are private citizens... Now what?

I am Indian ethnically. That’s all I’m going to say.

How do you feel?

IQ is short for Intelligence Quotient, the ratio of your intelligence age divided by your actual age. Baseline IQ is 100, though most people, when tested, have IQs above that.

Sheldon, on The Big Bang Theory TV series, acknowledged to be a genius, stated his IQ is 198.

Many of us have taken IQ tests, sometimes in school, and sometimes online, just for fun.

Do you know your IQ?

Food. Gas. Housing. Renting. Bills. Everything. Inflation and crisis. What is the real reason?

I am English but Indian ethnically. I am really tired about hearing negative stuff about us.
We have done so much for the west and still hear so much garbage about how bad we are. Why? Is it because we’re a huge threat to upper classes?

I notice girls outside my race don’t tend to like me as much and I pretty much have everything going for me 🤷🏽

Everywhere we go we’re hated, even in India Indians hate other Indians
