With regard to the questions from the legion, my fiancee has always wanted to go to the Caucasus but I've been afraid to go to Georgia because of the homophobia. How is Yerevan to lgbt tourists?

Nate if it makes you feel any better, I also did the swim meet shaved head thing. However, because a cancer fundraiser was also happening at the same time at my high school I ended up also shaving off my eyebrows. I got my first driver's license the next day, so my license had no eyebrows for 5 years.

Well… similar to the saying … it’s not gay, if you do not push back.

As a Chinese American, I also support randomly blaming the Dutch for everything

I remember reading about Ming Dynasty kicking Dutch ass around the Strait of Formosa and drove them out of Taiwan. The Dutch captured fishermen from island villages in the strait and threatened to execute them unless the Ming allowed them to trade in the 1500s.

As an anarchist it's really funny listening to Nate grapple with how little difference there is between a state and a protection racket.

Rule 88 is the nazi version of rule 34 I guess. The furry community has been dealing with this for the past few years.

I feel like it's been requested but an episode of the dogmeat general (and warlord period of china) would be pretty fun

Good to see some Chinese history being covered. Honestly there's so much stuff from China you could do on LLBD: the battle of changping, tumu crisis, sui invasion of korea, taiping rebellion, red cliffs, korean war, the first sino-japanese war...
