Just realized the last two previous posts started with "Just"
 
So according to atom, the reason we've been getting all the new members is because me, Tracey and Haley are going into heat. Let's assume that this miraculous synchronization of bodily functions holds true. Your thoughts and opinions?

I would guess the powdery kind, knowing kids these days.

Welp, just took down my first poster of a car to fit my anime calender :D


Was thinking of not putting it up, then I realized I spent $110 on the set so might as well...

$110 for a calender? What the hell dude.
My most expensive fountain pen is way cheaper than that.

So I just caught up to the Shingeki no Kyojin manga. Now, I don't know what to do with myself. I read it all in one go too. Still gonna wait for the weekly anime though but idk if the experience is going to be as good as not knowing. Idk why I keep doing this lol.

Lol. That's why I never read the manga of an anime I'm watching until after the anime finished airing.
Though in reality I tend to either read the manga or watch the anime.

The Netherlands is without head of state right now. No monarch. Nothing.

The queen just abdicated her throne, and it'll take a few hours until the king finishes his oaths and stuff.

Is a monarch truly necessary in this day and age?

Necessity is irrelevant in this case. A monarch works as a symbol for the people, something invoking a feeling of patriotism. Nearly all the Dutch loved their queen, and so will nearly all Dutch love their king.
The monarch does not have any political power whatsoever, and only serves a ritual, symbolical and diplomatic purpose. The only argument against having a monarch would be ethics or the monetary costs of having one. However, people tend to favor tradition and cultural pride over such trivialities.

In short, the reasons for a monarch are pride and tradition, which are more important than you may think.
