But I can plausibly imagine just a terrible day in the ER, especially over the 4th, while every trial I've followed in the just decades takes place over at least a week, not counting any of the prep. My own lawsuit(s) took 2-3 years and we didn't even do trial.
I can imagine treating a trial like the Pitt, I can't imagine a single day having enough tension.
Some Guys, working together and using the industrial might/wealth of the entire country to bury the supposed Ubermensch under mountains of artillery.
It's like a speed run learning why elán alone can't win a battle from wwi.
"King Awesome McChad, winner of multiple tournaments and victor of great battles, died of sepsis after he cut his foot putting on his spurs."
"General Maximus Chadicus, awarded multiple triumphs and died when he fell off his horse."
I forget if it was Tides or Past Lives, but learning that ancient Athenians reached a level of health/nutrition/general standard of living that wasn't matched until the Dutch at the start of the industrial revolution genuinely blew my mind.
It's the same thing that happened to Vietnam. I'm just shocked we managed to start a war that was unpopular from the start.
the fictional representation of the Roman Republic as like, a democracy that was destroyed by corrupt politicians and not like, warlords like maximus (who would save it actually by killing all the politicians) is basically a thinly veiled chud fairy tale about america, even if it wasn't intended
War is peace.
$20 dumb/drunk college kids were involved.
Another?
figure 5.1 U.S. Economic Growth, 1790–2012
it's funny you can see how much the New Deal fixed macroeconomic stability within the United States, and the elite hated FDR for it
High school gas prices here we go!
I 'member $4 gallon and I don't know about you, but I believe in our ability to get them numbers up.
The reason the USAF sucks now is that Hegseth, in an effort to dewokify it, ordered they get rid of any aces, only straight pilots allowed.
meth was once a homegrown US tradition that a state like North Dakota could be proud of.
It's nice for work, I use it as a stand to watch YT while doing mindless tasks.
I've also had several phones where the charge port only works if you finagle it just so after a year or two.
So one could say your a "national" socialist? No thanks, we've seen that evil lies that way.
I don't give a wet fart that you don't care about my opinion of UK politics.
"progressive"
Definitely the kind of proclamation you want to be feeling the need to say a week into your war.
"Screw Covid, I'm going to Sturgis!" The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, held in August 2020, was the epitome of the individual choice mindset. Of course it spread cases outward and caused infections, illness, and death. A new research paper allows us to watch the Sturgis Covid wave spread across the US.
The official Bribes and Decadence Reception Area being larger than the actual executive residence feels meaningfully symbolic.
im not sure how its possible but every new rendering from the administration of the ballroom is bigger and uglier than the last. the latest one looks like the stapled a goddamn amazon fulfillment center onto the white house.
Without suggesting any eschatological implications, he has to be the most obvious anti-Christ who ever lived. Even Nero must have had some redeeming qualities.
AC job was the dream. I've done outside; did it as a kid, did it as adult. Some days it's genuinely pleasant, mostly I was a constant shade of tannish red just this side of sunburn and covered in rashes/cuts/bug bites.
Mostly not bad jobs, but I'll take reading old legal/property docs 10/10 times.
You don't blow your wad when your capacity to build more is being bombed and you're settling in for a months long air war/trying to close the straights.
But have you considered what it does for their Fantasy War Team?
I have this fight with people on my local subreddit constantly. We don't want or need a residential tower in Omaha, we need the 3 blocks on either side of Dodge to be wall to wall 5 over 1s, ugly as they are.
Oh yes okay come with me new people on this horrible journey into Porn Wars Theory
This will be a thread and an extremely bleak one
Tomm Moore has some Opinions he wants to share and I for one can't wait to hear them. His movies are some of the best animated films I've ever seen and now he's talking about the diaspora? Sign me the fuck up, 2028 can't come soon enough.

It's entirely a smugness thing but as one of the few Victoria 3 fans who also go to the PDX forums, it's a little hard for me to not feel schadenfreude seeing the EUV fans who spent the last couple years crapping on Vic3 get upset whenever someone points out EUV is in Vic3 player count territory.
Puppies, puppies and mama, and my own dog at home.
