Farrah is still the GOAT. Loved that braless decade.

I dunno if anything can top Tiger King, but theres a show in similar vein on Max called Ren Faire which might be interesting, even for those of you who havent been to the Texas Renaissance Festival

I wonder what it would have been like if we didn't get involved in WWI and WW2. We would probably be still ok because of geography. Our population would be higher. We'd have the resources to be self-sufficient. I know it's not popular to question our involvement, but since WW2 vets are mostly gone, but I'm guessing someone has run scenarios. I sometimes wonder if our country would be better off isolationists.

There's no isolationism that keeps us out of World War 2. War between Japan and the United States was inevitable in the Pacific. Germany declared war on us. The only thing isolationism would have done is that we wouldn't have been prepared when the war did start for us (we were isolationist politically prior to Pearl Harbor, however the government pretty much knew we would eventually be fighting, if we had stuck our heads in the sand the outcome would have been worse for us.
Not getting involved in World War 1 is more debatable. We were only nominally isolationist in that war as well, as we were heavily financially linked to the Entente powers. It is very difficult to say what would have happened in the aftermath of WW1 without the US involved, even on the eventual outcome of the war.
