We have one, when we all die off Grumbler will create a new group of history enthusiasts who enjoy war games of all descriptions.  And importantly he will be more discerning in his selection.  Languish will then enter a golden age.

All the young ones hang on tiktok, could we get someone to do a recruiting drive there? There's bound to be dozens of potential recruits that want to join a dying forum with a bunch of grumpy old men...

Surely AI is the best solution? We can get the AI to scan posts by departed members and then emulate them; probably best if we kept the AI members out of the back room.

So Macron is apparently blaming the recent unrest on poor parenting - the result of single-parent families and children raised on welfare.

I thought the unrest was caused because the gods were outraged that Macron murdered his father and married his mother.  Though I be thinking of someone else... :unsure:
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

This actually sounds very possible....

Apparently there's a song trending among the conservative right "Try that in a small town." The lyrics:

QuoteSucker punch somebody on a sidewalk
Carjack an old lady at a red light
Pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store
Ya think it's cool, well, act a fool if ya like

Cuss out a cop, spit in his face
Stomp on the flag and light it up
Yeah, ya think you're tough

Well, try that in a small town
See how far ya make it down the road
Around here, we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won't take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don't
Try that in a small town

Got a gun that my granddad gave me
They say one day they're gonna round up
Well, that shit might fly in the city, good luck
Try that in a small town

See how far ya make it down the road
Around here, we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won't take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don't
Try that in a small town

Full of good ol' boys, raised up right
If you're looking for a fight
Try that in a small town
Try that in a small town

Try that in a small town
See how far ya make it down the road
Around here, we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won't take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don't
Try that in a small town

Try that in a small town
Ooh-ooh
Try that in a small town

Obviously there's been a lot of mockery of it and pointing out cases where those things happened, but I thought this community might appreciate this one especially:

Yeah I've heard of that, it's bizzare. It's funny they talk about these crimes as if they're bad then threaten the same as a positive.

I believe it was the song played at the launch of two of the GOP presidential candidates - so yeah fair to say it's trending.
