It's been a couple of years since I went out of my way to do meme-depravity characters in CK2 since I found much more success playing straitlaced virtuous characters than with wacky Satanic incest shenanigans, but I stumbled into one by accident in one of my first attempts at playing CK3.

So I haven't played that much CK3 since I got it. Main Paradox game that I've played since it came out has been Stellaris.

With a few hours of the usual Irish dude, Robert de Hauteville, Bjorn Ironside of Svithjod, and both start dates' Roman emperors, I decided to check out Spain in 1066. I remembered kings Sancho and Alfonso from the El Cid campaign in Age of Empires II and decided to check out Alfonso since it was listing him as the easier one of the two.

  1. Character starts with high intrigue. I guess I'll do a dread-based playstyle for him, trying to intimidate people into not challenging me.
  2. I blackmail a few people. Including about keeping my sister's extramarital affair secret.
  3. I marry the nice French girl from William of Normandy's court at the top of the "Find Spouse" list to get the alliance. My court chaplain tells me that there's a bit of consanguinity, but because of the difference between my intrigue and his, this just means that he loses 350 prestigie.
  4. My marshal tries blackmailing me about an affair that I'm apparently having (I hadn't checked the lovers tab yet, so I didn't known that I was having an affair). I've taken every option that I can get to boost my dread, so I tell him to go fuck himself and expect other people to be too scared of me to do much about it.
  5. Marshal reveals my affair. Turns out that it's with my sister. Let's look back at #2 for a second. I blackmailed my sister about threatening to tell everyone that she was having an affair with me. One of the interesting start characters highlighted by the game as "Easy" starts in a relationship with his sister. I accidentally stumbled into some of the community's meme shenanigans just because a character that the game itself recommended to me
  6. I die in a hunting accident in around 1071, and my heir is a daughter under a year old. I only play on Ironman, so I decide that I might as well restart.
  7. Restarted and it wasn't a fluke. I still have Urraca in the lovers section of my relationships tab.
  8. I'm looking for a wife right now. Instead of Adelais de Ponthieu for the alliance, maybe I'll go for whichever potential wife will get me the most prestige. The "Find Spouse" options which provide the most prestige are all from the Jimena dynasty (Navarra girls). I'm already fucking my sister, so why not invite one of my cousins in for a threesome?

Update: My sister, my wife, my cousin, and my daughter are all named Urraca. If those were all the same person, it

Today the receptionist at my optometrist’s office, who looked very straitlaced and was very formal with me for the first fifteen or so minutes I filled out paperwork, pulled out her Switch and saved ACNH.

I told her I love AC. She seemed surprised but immediately relaxed and said CJ is on her island today & she’s been fishing like crazy while it’s been slow. β€œI’m addicted because my kids & SOME PEOPLE glances at other receptionist beside her told me I had to get it & they were right.” The other receptionist smiled slyly.

anime where where the mc is a straitlaced guy and gets acquainted to a polar opposite girl

Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler

So... i was thinking what anime to watch later while watching "Thats my boy" where Donny (Adam Sandler) impregnated his teacher at a young age. Todd, Donny's son was raised like how a 13 year old kid would raise one so he grew up eating cake and lollipop for breakfast and experienced driving his drunk father home when he was 8 and he hated his father for acting like a child when he have a son. Years have passed, Donny was a jobless guy and his son left him for his immature behavior, while looking for a way to earn money to pay his huge taxes he saw Todd's picture in a newpaper featured marriage and decided to ask for help. To see the one who raised you in the most childish way and made your childhood terrible, and worst, he decided to show up in your nearing wedding .Todd's reaction was ridiculous. Todd is a mature,responsible,realist,neat looking guy while his father is an immature,irresponsible,happy go lucky guy. Todd hid the fact that both his parents is still alive, the mother is in prison and the father is the infamous boy wonder in the 90s. The more Todd drives his father away in his life the more he becomes like his father. So im looking for an anime with a relationship like Donny and Todd had for But in a boy and girl way where the girl is crazy and the guy is straitlaced or vice verca and the straitlaced guy slowly becomes like the crazy girl.

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Just because it's a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

Transcript of Patrick Byrne video Part 2: 23min 53 -45 min 45

Hey Superstonk. As I promised yesterday, the following is the transcript as provided by u/mickben for the Patrick Byrne Interview. Many of us apes don’t like clicking on links so I am posting the transcript in it’s full form. This also helps to ensure that a copy is saved on the sub in case it continues to get scrubbed. I reviewed the transcript and can state that as far as I can tell it is accurate. Obviously given the length of the video I have not verified every word but all of my spot checks were good. Given the length of the video I had to break this up into 3 parts.

Patrick Byrne interview:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XQXPiYDkcI

Full Guide: Thanks u/Idjek 1:01: Byrne discusses his war against naked short selling, and the complex, indirect settlement system.

9:45: Mechanics/risk of a short squeeze given the existence of so many naked shorts.

13:50: Amazon's competitors tend to get targeted by SHFs... hmm...

21:35 Discusses situation with GME and popkorn.

29:49: Discusses T0 blockchain capital market he created and why the SEC isn't happy about it.

33:40: Regulatory capture–why regulation doesn't always work like a reasonable person would expect it to.

39:40: Talkin bout Gary Gensler.

41:54: Theory of dispersed costs and concentrated benefits, public choice theory–big companies spending big money on lobbying to protect policies that benefit them/their industry, at the expense of a huge majority of smaller players (sound familiar...?).

45:45: Chinese diplomat economist talks with Patrick Byrne about FTDs, and then Byrne talks with the Chinese equivalent of the DTCC 10 years later, who says there are no fails in the Chinese stock markets.

54:45: Should GME release an NFT to force shorts to close? Bryne suggests they could issue shares on T0 in order to issue a non-fungible dividend.

58:12: Recent case against naked short sellers opened by SEC or DOJ, Bryne's involvement with a whistleblower.

1:00:06: Hedgies r fuk, and here's why (for context, interviewer is a popkorn stock fan). Bryne then explains how SHFs put pressure on a company they need to kill.

1:04:51: The SECs catch-22 argument that issuing an NFT dividend could/may force shorts to close their positions, and that would be illegal manipulation of the stock by the issuer (while SEC simultaneously claims the SHF activity which overshorted the stock in the first place has no effect on the price)

Part 1: Start -23 min 53.
