    So... Vashon made a news thread... alas, it was far too political. But there was merit in such a thread.

    Thus.... let's share interesting news, good news, shocking news, bad news, surprising headlines and all that from across the globe.

    That said, there are a few rules.
    1) This is not the Rants section... so be polite to other members.
    2) If the news is disturbing, please spoiler it and explain why it's spoilered.
    3) No political news like elections.

    There are no words. xD

    EDIT: Wait no, I found the words.

    Its that feeling you get when your primary kink is masculine domination and you would love to have a submissive waifu, but even you take one look at that stupid article and feel compelled to say "Fuck you, FOX News!"

    Jesus christ lol.

    Citation needed?

    I know there was one promising one that was recently tested that had the unfortunate side effect of permanent sterility. But I haven't heard of many beyond that.

    The injection has been available in India for decades, to the point that the only places that bother to mention it are scientific papers, and my subscription to that archive lapsed.

    RISUG lasts for 10 years per injection(which is horribly counterproductive and is still going through clinical trials in india) and the one that just passed testing with monkeys(Vasalgel) is rather new and isn't in use for any country.

    Those 2 are the only things I can find with any chance of not being utterly terrible.

    They bought Maker Studios, and PewDiePie made some kind of stink where he demanded they help him set up his own studio or he would leave Maker and take a bunch of people with him. They caved, and kept him around while he made several other "jokes" which honestly I was pretty disappointed with them for.

    He's been pulling stunts like this for months. The one I can remember is he had somebody dress up as Jesus and say that Hitler did nothing wrong. He always claims it was somehow a joke afterwards too.

    EDIT: Just clicked on the article, and they're saying about the same thing.

    • Rule 8. Due to previous violation 1 week tempban.
    ....I have to let this stand. But for the record? Sarcasm.


    Anyways...

    Oh and Hillary Clinton's twitter allegedly referenced pizzagate in regards to Flynn Sr resigning. If true, then Clinton has traitors in her own camp, because thats well beyond incompetence.
