"help" repay the "help" for a fight that really only existed in Europe. The French Indian War was a subsidiary conflict to the 7 Years War in Europe.

Britain then chose to squeeze extra taxes from the colonies, who didn't get a voice in parliament to protest forced participation in the conflict in the first place. Then remember that the British answer to the unrest was to HOUSE SOLDIERS IN THEIR HOMES. Imagine if Trump or some other authoritarian leader today responded to mass civil unrest by couch surfing soldiers through everyone's houses. Very easy to imagine a revolution then.

One of the most satisfying things to happen to me at work was using the line "Your family needs a raise" after some of that "we're a family" crap got way too old. Lol and behold, we all got bigger than normal year-end raises, but most importantly, I haven't heard any of that crap since.

I know you're being funny but anyone who genuinely thinks this needs to go outside more. America literally has multiple natural wonders.

I think they're saying her whole career as an activist was an escalation from waving signs in the street (ie: the average person)

Because they were ahead on industry and slavery was less profitable. Don't think England was going around thinking it was wrong.

Hard disagree on the AZ front. The heelturn parading around Liz Cheney resulted in waaaaay too many "SEE THEY'RE THE SAME" protest votes or people staying at home.

It's a dumb as fuck argument because pit bulls are no more dangerous than a similarly sized dog of any other breed.

"I would rather be bit by a 20lbs kickable dog than a 40-80lbs dog with actual size" is not some type of profound statement.

I wonder how much time people like you actually spend around dogs? Everyone who I've met who actually does, knows pretty well that breed is very poor indicator of aggression.

Enjoy pirating the experience of going to the theater lol

I'd imagine it a toxic ex joke. Lot of people say "You dodged a bullet" when it turns out everyone else thought your ex is crazy or something comes out about them

That's not how wildfires work. If it burned, the fuels have been consumed. This is why the Forest Service in the western US do prescribed burns. Forest fires are actually an essential part ecosystems.

Ignore any other advice and do heroin. The post-constipation dump is the only way I thought this happened to people lol

Sounds like you underestimate the power of opiate-based constipation. I've heard from addicts of this happening enough that I just assumed it would only happen to someone that severely constipated.

 

I seriously cannot have any degree of nuanced conversation here.

Like I get it, we all know capitalism is bad, but it feels like every time I or anyone go towards discussing the steps that need to be taken to address current looming problems in the short term, someone has to jump in and shut it down with "capitalism bad >:[ " and tear down any idea presented because its not complete and total destruction of the current economic model.

The result just feels like an echo chamber where no actual solutions get presented other than someone posting whole ass dissertations on their 33-step (where 30/33 steps are about as vague as "we'll just handle it") plan to fully convert the world to an anarchist commune.

Edit: I still vastly prefer Lemmy and the fediverse and a whole, my complaint here is that many of you are TOO INTENSE. You blow up small scale discussion.
