Adults started buying toys to a greater extent.

Remember that oxygen is a privilege not a right and fires become easier to extinguish.

Vacation is gonna start so that is nice. Also last day of taking antibiotics so my shits can go back to somewhat normal.

I understand why, but I think of Iceland as a recent venture (relatively speaking). It is a bit like having to recalibrate that Rome never conquered the highlands of Sardinia. There were just guys up there intermittently raiding their settlements for 1000 years.

I always compartmentalised the Polynesian triangle expansion as somewhere around 0-400 AD for some reason.

New Zeeland being settled for a shorter time than Iceland just seems strange to me.

I don’t think it is that, we are half a year into orange man. The threshold has been reached for when it is time for sensible liberals to hedge their stances. If that is because they think it sufficiently unpopular or that it is already over and it is time to get their cover for posterity, I don’t know.

it is funny that such a dogshit attack on trump is something that's riled people up

Trump supporters are the same kind of people who call Obama a gay Kenyan Muslim satan. This kind of low effort attack is entirely within their wheelhouse and that is why they are so mad about it.

German nationalism is arguably one of the worst things to ever happen to the world. Nature intended for Germany to be divided into dozens of states that could largely be ignored.

All Harris had to do was to even pretend to be progressive, but she had to jump on the ghoul train in order to impress 7 columnists. Why do they think that Negraponte and Cheney are good endorsements?

The dems were on a slight roll when they chose to do what the 'left' told them by replacing Biden and choosing Waltz for VP, but then decided to double down to pander to the right.

Settler colonialism is a real thing that happened in history with devastating consequences for indigenous peoples around the globe.

Still very much happening but it's only really being called out in Western societies. Meanwhile indigenous Tibetans are having their culture erased by Han Chinese, etc...

I hate the US as much as the next person but the meme itself is basically whataboutism.

How the fuck is this whataboutism?

The whataboutism is 75% of the thread going out to defend the US prison system by saying that a wartime prison before the age of antibiotics was slightly worse than current US prisons. So little discussion of the topic at hand.

Edit: oh fuck, found the millions of prisoners in Xinjang part of the thread.

Not recognising American places that share their name with old world areas is praxis.
