The 8values test sucks, within the first 10 questions there were 2 that stuck out as being insanely subjective

Almost like political opinions are subjective.

I'm going to post mine because I'm bored.

Nah, what I mean is, for example:

"Maintaining a balanced budget is more important than ensuring the welfare of all citizens."

I believe that maintaining a balanced budget is part of what ensures the welfare of all citizens, since economy doing good = more money for welfare, infrastructure, etc. So how can I honestly answer this question?

The combination of these 2 (politiscales and 8values) is the best you can do as far as online political tests go.They aren't perfect by any means, but they do give a solid insight.

My only concern here is that I see myself more as a pragmatist rather than a populist.

When does agree become a strongly agree is my issue with those tests.

I think the first one is also.. kinda misleading. I don't even consider myself a liberal, but this site thinks I am, even though I'm not.

It's almost as if online tests don't mean anything and are just for fun

You're just being too particular about the framing of the question. You should just ask yourself whether you are okay with putting the country into debt to fund social programmes as labour is prone to do.

Do you ride B1rd?

I only own a little 125cc motorbike, which I keep at my uncle's who lives on a farm. Though he's got an old Japanese roadbike which he's offered me, it just needs new tires. I'm gonna go for my license soon.

I'm gonna go on a walking trip to Hobart soon, so I'll be able to check the bike out on the way. There's also a sushi place with a Japanese sushi chef that I'm gonna try out when I'm down there.

That's neat. I'm not all that into bikes but I have a few mates that are into riding and tinkering with them.

I've been watching Magical Angel Creamy Mami and while it is pretty average as a whole there are episodes that go absolutely crazy with the story and presentation. I'll need to look at the staff list when I finish it because there is a director and possibly a writer on the show that is absolutely golden.

How can you carry a human inside of you for 9 months and name it Humphrey

im thinking of changing my name to dabbing penguin, does it sound better than my current name?

no

It'll only make sense if you have a dabbing penguin as your avatar forever.

It'll also make you look like an eight-year-old child.

But it's up to you.

I was shooting heroin and reading "The Fountainhead" in the front seat of my privately owned police cruiser when a call came in. I put a quarter in the radio to activate it. It was the chief.

“Bad news, detective. We got a situation.”

“What? Is the mayor trying to ban trans fats again?”

“Worse. Somebody just stole four hundred and forty-seven million dollars’ worth of bitcoins.”

The heroin needle practically fell out of my arm. “What kind of monster would do something like that? Bitcoins are the ultimate currency: virtual, anonymous, stateless. They represent true economic freedom, not subject to arbitrary manipulation by any government. Do we have any leads?”

“Not yet. But mark my words: we’re going to figure out who did this and we’re going to take them down … provided someone pays us a fair market rate to do so.”

“Easy, chief,” I said. “Any rate the market offers is, by definition, fair.” He laughed. “That’s why you’re the best I got, Lisowski. Now you get out there and find those bitcoins.” “Don’t worry,” I said. “I’m on it.”

I put a quarter in the siren. Ten minutes later, I was on the scene. It was a normal office building, strangled on all sides by public sidewalks. I hopped over them and went inside. “Home Depot™ Presents the Police!®” I said, flashing my badge and my gun and a small picture of Ron Paul. “Nobody move unless you want to!” They didn’t. “Now, which one of you punks is going to pay me to investigate this crime?” No one spoke up.

“Come on,” I said. “Don’t you all understand that the protection of private property is the foundation of all personal liberty?” It didn’t seem like they did.

“Seriously, guys. Without a strong economic motivator, I’m just going to stand here and not solve this case. Cash is fine, but I prefer being paid in gold bullion or autographed Penn Jillette posters.” Nothing. These people were stonewalling me. It almost seemed like they didn’t care that a fortune in computer money invented to buy drugs was missing. I figured I could wait them out. I lit several cigarettes indoors. A pregnant lady coughed, and I told her that secondhand smoke is a myth. Just then, a man in glasses made a break for it.

“Subway™ Eat Fresh and Freeze, Scumbag!®” I yelled. Too late. He was already out the front door. I went after him. “Stop right there!” I yelled as I ran. He was faster than me because I always try to avoid stepping on public sidewalks. Our country needs a private-sidewalk voucher system, but, thanks to the incestuous interplay between our corrupt federal government and the public-sidewalk lobby, it will never happen.

I was losing him. “Listen, I’ll pay you to stop!” I yelled. “What would you consider an appropriate price point for stopping? I’ll offer you a thirteenth of an ounce of gold and a gently worn ‘Bob Barr ‘08’ extra-large long-sleeved men’s T-shirt!” He turned. In his hand was a revolver that the Constitution said he had every right to own. He fired at me and missed. I pulled my own gun, put a quarter in it, and fired back. The bullet lodged in a U.S.P.S. mailbox less than a foot from his head. I shot the mailbox again, on purpose.

“All right, all right!” the man yelled, throwing down his weapon. “I give up, cop! I confess: I took the bitcoins.” “Why’d you do it?” I asked, as I slapped a pair of Oikos™ Greek Yogurt Presents Handcuffs® on the guy. “Because I was afraid.” “Afraid?” “Afraid of an economic future free from the pernicious meddling of central bankers,” he said. “I’m a central banker.” I wanted to coldcock the guy. Years ago, a central banker killed my partner. Instead, I shook my head.

“Let this be a message to all your central-banker friends out on the street,” I said. “No matter how many bitcoins you steal, you’ll never take away the dream of an open society based on the principles of personal and economic freedom.” He nodded, because he knew I was right. Then he swiped his credit card to pay me for arresting him.

God bless Amereconomic freedom and lack of regulations.

As I mentioned previously, I'm planning a walking trip down to Hobart, which is about 280KM away from where I live. I'll probably take some pics/videos to document it.

when is this trip occurring? can I expect you to be a fabulous white cis male owo

Probably the 20 or 20st of May.

Definitely the 20st of May.

Strange it says 32th of May for me:

Are you gonna stop somewhere for the night or are you genuinely gonna walk the entire 280KM in one day

Well I'd have a hard time walking 280KM is one day, it's probably gonna take 5 or 6. I've go a good lightweight freestanding tent that I plan to use, I'd like to try urban camping when I get in to the city too, since accommodation is quite a big expense (and I've already spent too much money on all this outdoor gear).

Are you going to do 280 roundtrip (140 walking, 140 walking back? Or are you going to walk 560 in total? Or are you going to hitch a ride back?

I don't know about Hobart's local laws but in a lot of cities you can get in trouble for urban camping, so be on the lookout for that. I wish you godspeed and a good travel!

I never looked at myself for being frivolous...
...yet.

Welcome back, UltraHenzie!

I really like Impressionist art.

Old art gets boring and people go crazier, and then even more crazier by breaking down the meaning

Francis Bacon did some spooky-ass art
