The Single Dude’s Guide to Shanghai

Your statistics teacher was wrong when they told you correlation doesn’t equal causation. In Shanghai, the world’s largest city proper, there are 23 million people in an area roughly the size of Delaware going at the daily grind each day. This means you, the intrepid, eponymous Single Man, have the unparalleled opportunity to meet, woo and cajole literal hordes of beautiful women from around the…

Devil Kratom: Why Is the DEA Making a Wonder Drug Illegal?

You ever wonder why the gods would make palliatives like opium poppies and alcoholic fermentation quite so double-edged? This is one of those features of the matrix that make me think there really is a god, and he hates us. These mind band-aids make the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune bearable—for a time. They’re the poem juices that hide the zits long enough for the young to fall in…

The day I was attacked by two fat feminists

Today I have a story for you that happened a long time ago back in my home country. It involves two fat feminists, three police officers teaming up with the feminists and a nervous 7/11 employee wondering what the fuck was going on. And me arrested in the back of a police car… I had to spend 16 hours in custody because of this shitty situation.

All of this happened back in 2013, just after I had…

Duane Norman: The Free Market Shooter

We are pleased to announce that one of our own, Duane Norman, has founded his own site, Free Market Shooter! Congratulations Duane, we hope you will continue to expose the mainstream media lies for years to come!

Why, you ask, is a free market advocate in favor of ending private prisons?  Simple: because these facilities aren’t  “private” at all.

The reason why should be obvious.  Prisoners are…

Innocent People, Not Career Criminals, Should be the Poster Boys for Police Reform

You have a problem with the police being militarized to the teeth, and doing whatever they want, up to and including killing innocents, with no consequences?

Get in line.

Philando Castile, Walter Scott, and Dylan Noble are examples of where the authorities either made a mistake and/or acted maliciously, and need to be held accountable. If you think the likes of James Bushey, Eric Garner, Michael…

Is the halving of Bitcoin’s block reward a huge money making opportunity?

Is there a huge opportunity to reap massive rewards on a Bitcoin purchase over the next few weeks to few months? I think there is a good case that there is. There is no need to rehash what others have already described in detail but the short, short version is as follows.

Approximately every four years the reward for mining Bitcoins is halved. The current reward is 25 Bitcoins for every “block”…

60 Minutes… of Gun Propaganda

CBS, in their 60 Minutes program, recently released another piece of propaganda, a follow-on to one from late last year, advocating for US civilians to be marketed and sold “smart guns”. If you watch the segment, you’ll see that they spend all of approximately 7 seconds mentioning how little of a difference smart guns would make. They did grant a minuscule amount of deference to the New Jersey…

99.9% of gun owners aren’t radical either!

President Obama told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria that 99.9 percent of Muslims reject radical Islam. He made the comments in response to a question about the White House avoiding using the phrase “Islamic terrorists.”

“You know, I think that the way to understand this is there is an element growing out of Muslim communities in certain parts of the world that have perverted the religion, have embraced a…

Product Review: Standard Luggage Carry-on Travel Backpack

Product reviews are not something we’ve really done to date, aside from a glowing recommendation for the Aeropress, but if we get the opportunity to review something that seems highly applicable to the single dude traveler, we’re happy to do it. It was for this reason that we agreed to review Standard Luggage’s Carry-on Travel Backpack.

At first glance the $179 USD purchase price seemed a bit…

“Fuck That Cracker, He’s a Racist!”

If you think the behavior in the following video is OK in a democracy—or, even worse, if it gives you a visceral thrill of righteousness and justice served—then I hate to tell ya this, my friend, but you are the fucking brownshirt.

Look, it’s not like I would trust Donald Trump as far as I can throw him. That goofy birther debaclea…

Why I Refuse to Return to Life in the US

It’s painful to even recall the moment when I put my fingers in my mouth and discovered most of my teeth had been smashed out of my face, but it’s something I likely will never forget. I also remember the copious amounts of blood that seeped through my clothing leaving along crimson trail behind me as I limped my way back home. More troubling, I remember, was the suspicion that my roommates, the…
