More likely a proud deviant first and foremost with like a 1 level dip into cinnamon role to get the "Parental Respect" feat. It's Pretty busted in the middle levels when you need a loan to put a down payment on a castle.

Coward. Boot up huniepop and send your most introverted friend a game invite

life long career politician and public figure says something political in a public space

"obviously they are just trying to stay relevant 🙄"

Look, I don't like Chillary Clinton, like at all, but getting butt hurt about a politician saying something political about a political opponent is just fucking stupid

I'm by no means saying this is a definitive win. Just that setting a spear (I perhaps should have mentioned this in the previous comment) is a historically proven method of countering a charge. You might still die but I think with a proper spear odds might actually be in your favor if only slightly

In this very skilly hyper specific scenario where you are tasked with fighting a horse to the death, but with the stipulation that you are given prep time, I believe you could find and properly whittle a passable enough stick to function as a rudamdntary spear for the purpose of bracing against a charge, and that's assuming you don't have some particularly sharp metal/rocks on hand with some basic lashing materials. If the horse pulls up and tries to canter around the set spear you could hoist it up and now you have range. If it pulls back for another charge? Set it again. You don't have to thrust with it, just hold it point out and wait for the horse to either impale itself or get tired. That's how boar hunts work after all.

Like yeah I don't like your odds lmao but its not nearly as doomed as you might think imo

I mean yeah but the point is that technological advancement was still a common occurance. Like, yeah a sensationalized article about self driving cars would blow some minds but to most i think it wouldn't really make any bigger waves then basic cars already were at the time. How can they be blown away by the concept of self driving when the vehicle itself is so new and interesting you know? AI is so abstract that even today most people don't understand it, 100 years ago it'd just be "another new thing" just like it is today.. We are actually less accustomed to ground shaking new inventions so I'd argue that 100 years ago a lot of our modern tech would be less exciting given the regularity in which things were changing then.

Social upheaval however is ALWAYS a huge deal, especially for the time. Bear in mind that Progressivism is a fairly new ideology in the States. For literally hundreds of years social change came at a snails pace and took serious, concerted effort. Nowadays we are on average much more open to change and accepting of diversity in all it's forms, but there's a reason everyone remembers the name Martin Luther King Jr., versus.... Ruth Bader Ginsburg I guess?

public indiscriminate kind

What does that even mean? Indiscriminately killing people in public? Like a mass shooting? Lol

gang violence kind

"Person opens fire into church killing 5 and injuring 12"

"that's a mass shooter"

"the gunman was wearing red and those killed wore blue"

"that's gang violence"

Do you see how stupid that take is?

3 kids shot a gun once goofing off in their school parking lot kind

Oh my bad I thought you were being genuine, this is obviously bait, please carry on

I mean, to be fair, boar are hunted with spears, knights used Lances, and pike blocks were the end all be all counter to cavalry for thousands of years, specifically because sharp sticks are really good at killing things in a head on collision situation. Horse kinda doesn't stand a chance if you bring a proper stick tbh lol

Mental illness that he refuses to do anything about.

Also is your argument here that he is antisimetic because he has a mental illness? I've never heard of an illness that just suddenly makes you a nazi. Those two things are independent of one another, the mental illness just makes it more blatant

Literally not even remotely relevant to what the conversation was but go off.

I'd also rather get hit with a semi truck today with modern medicine than get run over by a horse and carriage in 1840.

But I don't see what that has to do with the fact that a semi truck traveling at max speed can level a small building vs a carriage just kinda flattening it's own horses on impact.

Gallows humor really does hit different when your 2 hours into doom scrolling lol

his defense and his followers call for an mistrial on bias.

They will anyway. Is this really the hill we are going to die on? After 8(?) years of this shit are we really going to keep spouting this rhetoric?

Trump has proven that he intends to keep violating gag orders. So it is not only clean but perfectly within the judicial systems legal power to imprison him. There's no need to build a case here. Just do it.

Someone who relates to employers as though they were benevolent would be incorrect in the case against unions though? Unions have shown to be nearly universally beneficial to the workers that participate in them. That is not my opinion. That is verifiable fact.

If a company was strictly benevolent as you've claimed then why contest the union? Why negotiate terms at all? Just hear what the employees en mass want and sign your name on the dotted line. The fact that this does not happen, and we constantly see company's hire law firms to bust the unions or otherwise drag their feet to apply changes to company structure upon reaching a compromise is objectively evidence that the company is not benevolent.

If unions didn't work then there would not be unions.

That's funny because anytime I hear Kyle's cousin Kyle from south park it reminds me of Boston lmao

Are you trying to say that these videos work because most people do not know the truth?

If that's your point then I agree. But it sounds kinda like you're implying that everyone already knows unions are good and for that reason we should stop saying that they are. Which is patently false.

Only way he wins is if half the country stays home.

I don't have any reported statistics to back up my claims but I am fairly confident that 2020 saw an unprecedented turnout specifically because people were able to bolster their friends and family to go vote against Trump. Notably not for Biden. If I'm right then it's not so much Trump getting more votes but Biden getting less that's the worry

I'm thinking Dem turnout is going to be a lot lower this year just because of the general feeling of apathy around so many people of voting age. They won't want to get peer pressured again by their friends and family. God knows the 4-5 people I convinced to go in 2020 have made it clear that they dont care for Biden and won't want to vote for his second term.

I think if the Dems throw up a younger, more relatable candidate you'd be right on the money. But you know.. Something something snatching defeat from the Jaws of victory

It's a food item and a day of the week.

Yeah, "super bowl" also shouldn't be trade marked, It's far too generalized to be reasonable. Zoidberg should be as that is a character in a show and should be claimed by the creators with exception given to people whom have that name in real life referring to their own products.

I'm lovin' it also shouldn't be trademarked. It's literally just an expression of joy.

I don't get why this has to be a difficult concept. McDonald's didn't create anything new. The NFL didn't fabricate the concept of extraordinary dishware. It is absolutely nonsense that anyone with enough money and influence can just choose a couple pre-existing words out of the English language and claim ownership.

Which ones cyborg

Ehhhh there's pros and cons to that. r/all on any given day is just bots karma farming off eachother with maybe 1 or 2 good posts mixed in alongside the occasionally genuinely interesting news article, which obviously sucks.

But on the other side there is a TON of threads from the past decade that I know I still read once in a while and I'm sure others do too. Hell just yesterday I was looking for some info on mettalurgy and found a reddit thread where some guy asked my exact question and got good answers like 5 years ago. Having those be more accessible would be great... Plus a lot of niche communities are unfortunately just too small on Lemmy to produce the level of content they do on Reddit

Who will force them to recuse themselves? They answer to no one.

That guy is obviously exaggerating for effect and you are technically correct, but he's not wrong.

Companies like Inuit and H&R Block have been lobbying for ages to keep the free file forms ridiculously overcomplicated, difficult to navigate/complete, and dangerously generalized to the point where if you mis-interpret a line on one of your several non-intuitively named financial forms you will be committing tax fraud

It is objectively easier, safer, and more convenient to file taxes through one of these private companies and the is by design.
