My grandfather had terminal cancer for like 4 years as an upper middle class man in his 30s back in the early 1980s. So I could see someone with Putin’s influence being able to stave off the reaper for longer with modern medicine and effectively infinite resources.

Couldve also used a barrel dolly. Frankly I don’t really care if Jeffrey Epstein was forklift certified.

This is getting out of hand now there are two of them.

Honestly the risks of giving children things varies by individual. 9 year old me with a knife? Perfectly safe and what wasn’t safe was a learning experience. 12 year old me with matches? Literal dumpster fire because I have pyromaniac tendencies.

Depends on which era honestly. The medieval period lasted for nearly a thousand years and could vary about as much as one would expect, so for example a very well off peasant during the high medieval period maybe could have eaten a whole ass chicken for a while at least. Probably wouldn’t have though, at least not without turning it into soup or a sandwich equivalent.

Up to the person on that one. I’m an argumentative bastard who enjoys a fight be it verbal or physical. But for those with less patience prolly.

Also it’s wholly irrelevant at this point. If someone didn’t vote for Kamala in 2024 and still thinks that was the right decision they are either so stupid so as to be involed, republican but I repeat myself, or just an asshole.

Point is theres no point beating that particular drumb at this point.

Lady Gaga is a cryptid and does not count for category reasons.

Sadly not every war can be the Western front of WW1 where civilians basically didn’t factor in.

Ha jokes on you I’m too autistic to know if you are being mean or not. Now do you want to hear me ramble about random shit for two hours straight till I stop because physically can’t talk anymore? There is only one answer and you don’t have a choice, this ain’t Fallout 1.

While I get your point I feel like using the nukes as an example is bad. Mostly because it was the least bad option for dealing with Japan during WW2, since it’s almost guaranteed that leaving them be after pushing them out of the mainland would be resulted in them trying again later, and doing an invasion of the Japanese home islands would’ve been a butchery comparable to few others. Japan was unlikely to surrender at all unless total annihilation was guaranteed, that’s the promise of the nukes one to show off another to show the promise.

Fact of the matter is the war on the Pacific was a shit show. For example Japanese POWs were rather rare because they had a nasty tendency towards faking surrender, injury, or death and then trying to kill medics or GIs, so they were simply killed because it was the most likely end result regardless. Another factor is that Japanese civilians on newly occupied islands had a tendency of killing themselves or turning into guerrilla. And then finally the US military hasn’t produced purple heart metals since WW2 since they produced so many in anticipation of an invasion of the Japanese home islands.

Point is while using the imprisonment of Japanese Americans is a prime example of the feds fucking up and doing horrific shit. The nuking of Japan itself isn’t, it was a way of getting the Japanese to just stop. They probably would’ve wiped themselves out rather than surrender without the nukes or at the very least bleed themselves down pretty thoroughly. The Japanese Imperial Cult was fucking psychotic and really needs to be factored in before you talk about anything done during WW2 against the Japanese.

Free gun.

Maybe they have the music taste as me? I could identify Joakim Broden, Hulkoff, or Danheim but show me any American artist since the early 00s and I don’t know jack.

What if I’m waiting for the poison to set in?

With the original ones? Shoot em. With these ones? Depends which variant but helping them skeeve out of paying back their “bonus” would probably do something.

For context that “bonus” they were given apon signing up for ICE was really a white elephant. If they leave before a certain timescale they have to pay it back, which would explain the utterly shit moral they have since plenty of them prolly wanted a quick paycheck and a bit of power and are now in way too deep.

The only one that I’ve ever heard of is Sioux Falls SD if only because it’s a city in South Dakota. They don’t have many cities and even then it’s population density is eclipsed by even your average Idaho city.

There’s several millennia between modern politics and the ancient Greeks. Like there’s so much history between Ancient Greek politics and modern politics that it’s outright absurd. Sure the enlightenment thinkers thought of themselves as being engeriters of the Greeks in a lot of ways but most modern systems are based off of Roman structures since Rome was an actual state and not a bunch of polis with variable systems.

Fair enough. Don’t have much if any experience with folks from outside of North America (getting taught new slurs by Slavs on CSGO aside) but I feel like the term Saxon would ironically be more applicable since the Saxons were instrumental in the formation of damned near every modern Germanic nation. Mostly because they were trader but they were spread out everywhere from Britain to Wallachia to at least one enclave in Uppsala in Sweden. Doesn’t quite work well for the Nordic nations but it’s probably the best term.

Like I said the term Anglo is just kinda weird since the continental Angles were more or less wiped out of assimilated before even Charlemagne was born. The Saxons on the other hand still arguably exist in both Germany, Britain, and in their expat cultures such as the Volga Germans or the Amero-Deutsch populations.

Just going to point out that cold storage predates modern refrigeration by literal millenia, hell there was a Greek island that mastered it well enough to consistently manufacture ice cream. I think the term I’ve heard is lagen basically a stone basement with evaporation boxes that can be used to keep tempatures around 50°F. The problem was consistency and how much labor it took to actually build the things, also they’d sometimes just kinda break if the environment shifted too much or were only usable during certain seasons.

Ah yes mandatory fun day. Fun fact one of the reasons I didn’t even consider signing up with the military was because I heard enough stories about that bullshit that it I came to the conclusion I’d probably end up getting dishonorably discharged because of it. Also the autism but that’s besides the point.
