“Study”? Are you hallucinating?

They need to do way instain mother>

You probably didn’t do so hot on standardized tests, either, huh?

Imagine defending Rittenhouse, who is too fucking stupid to get into the military.

As someone who gets paid to help people pass the ASVAB, the questions are shit like “pencils cost .10 and Bob has 4 dollars. How many pencils can Bob buy.” Imagine not even making the 31 for infantry.

Matthew 25:36-40 has Jesus being pretty explicit about his followers being called to feed the hungry and comfort the sick.

I have a lot of respect for Christians who understand their Christianity and Jesus’s sacrifice as an obligation to take up the cross and follow him. I don’t have a lot of respect for “Christians” whose belief system solely amounts to their pastor telling them that god hates gays.

I suspected that this was the Explosion, which had been intentionally wrought up by designing Men, who knew what they were aiming at better than the Instrument employed. If these poor Tools should be prosecuted for any of their illegal Conduct they must be punished. If the Soldiers in self defence should kill any of them they must be tryed, and if Truth was respected and the Law prevailed must be acquitted. To depend upon the perversion of Law and the Corruption or partiality of Juries, would insensibly disgrace the Jurisprudence of the Country and corrupt the Morals of the People. It would be better for the whole People to rise in their Majesty, and insist on the removal of the Army, and take upon themselves the Consequences, than to excite such Passions between the People and the Soldiers as 1 would expose both to continual prosecution civil or criminal and keep the Town boiling in a continual fermentation. The real and full Intentions of the British Government and Nation were not yet developed: and We knew not whether the Town would be supported by the Country: whether the Province would be supported by even our neighbouring States of New England; nor whether New England would be supported by the Continent. These were my Meditations in the night.

An analysis based on class struggle would recognize that the Revolution was driven by and primarily benefited land speculators, as I alluded to earlier with my reference to the Henderson purchase. Pure Marxist historians are more creatures of the 70’s than the modern day. Historiography continues on.

You sound much more like a high school history teacher than a historian.

I hold a Bachelors in American History and am in fact certified to teach high school history.

Do you have anything other than personal attacks? Going to provide any sources of your own?

Notice how you couldn’t be arsed to provide a historical argument or evidence that you know anything about the time period?

Fuck you. No, the murder of Renee Good is not comparable to soldiers getting confused about an order to fire when they were literally getting pelted with rocks.

Christ. Obviously Adam’s should haven’t of defended them, they should have just been executed on sight. Makes perfect sense.

Maybe read some primary sources from the time period, instead of trying to argue about a topic you haven’t looked into since high school.

Sorry, I studied American history beyond high school “King George was literally Hitler” propaganda.

Don’t forget that a major factor motivating the “Patriots” was the fact that England was going to create an Indian reserve (land speculators doing shit like “buying” all of Kentucky for a handful of beads was pretty problematic for peace), and that they were letting the Canadians be Catholic. But sure, we can pretend that expecting the colonists to contribute to the costs of defending them against the Indians they were genociding was horrific oppression.

Just a reminder that the defense attorney, for the soldiers that gunned down the people during the Boston massacre, was none other than future president John Adams.

At the time, they were not advocating for independence, just more autonomy. Giving a fair trial and good representation in that trial was a way to demonstrate that the colonies could provide fair justice without England’s intervention. This is why they were so pissed off when the “Impartial Administration of Justice” Act passed.

He successfully argued they were in fear for their lives.

Which was probably fair in this case. The protesters at the “massacre” were throwing rocks at the soldiers. There was reasonable confusion in the moment.

Amazon’s “Starfish” project is scraping the net for small businesses and posting their products on Amazon, with AI generated information.

Imagine getting a sale from a storefront you didn’t consent to being listed on, with an inaccurate description of your product.

Mother Theresa was no saint.

You can totally free slaves as a telvanni if you want. In the quest where you are asked to put down a slave revolt, if you instead choose to help them the mouth is like “oh, well, anyways…”

It plays well with original Morrowind mods, including Tamriel Rebuit, which is fucking awesome.

That would be fun if you wanted to make a new thread!

How could you say that about my husband

Yuk. Skyrim stripped out everything that made Morrowind special. It feels more like a Ubisoft game than an RPG.

Morrowind is old and has retroRPG jank, but as long as you don’t run everywhere it’s not that hard. There’s even OpenMW if you want some modern quality of life features.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

On reflection, a lot of that does show up in the relationships Spider has with his assistants across the series.

That really sucks. Upsetting that he’s such a garbage person.

It’s more that they do what drag typically mocks - that kind of hyper performance of feminine conformity. Classic drag has always been mocking the way that conservative women perform gender roles.

It’s supposed to look like they got work done, because it reflects their commitment to the idea that women should be always performing “woman.” Women are meant to be looked at by powerful men, and they are acceding to that understanding.

It’s really tragic that we have lost this sexual god
