i take it to mean that the definition depends on how you’ve learned about it.
a real world example is world war 2: if you’re an american it started in 1941; meanwhile if you’re chinese, it started in 1931; and if you’re swiss or scandinavian it lasted until the 1950’s
even in the same country it can be different, another real world example is the mexican rebellion of the early 20th century. if you’re a religious/social conservative it went from 1921 to 1933; if you’re not, it went from 1921 to 1923 and then there several followup wars like the cristero rebellion that lasted until 1933
conflicts don’t cleanly start and end; they windup and then winddown slowly and it’s up to you to define where the start and end are; and since we’re all have different definitions, others will have different dates.
it’s not a theory, it’s fact: the smell is rotting flesh (and dairy for most) and animals on earth rely on it to know if something is nearby them.
thus giving abbott the political boost that he wanted from his base while simultaneous giving him the ability to say that he never really wanted the law but executed the will of the people in one fell swoop; abbott is smarter than he looks.
i was a huge couch potato addicted to all the trek content i could find and i somehow missed this; thanks for the nostalgia and the icing on the cake is that i had the same remote control during the same period.
Try not to judge the city based on a single incident by a scared white man.
a scared white man; plus hundreds to thousands of people in an entire organization of people tasked with safety of the public protecting that white man; plus the hundreds to thousands of people in a judicial system that can openly sweep it under the run to protect that white man; plus the hundreds of thousands to millions of people that make up the plebiscite that doesn’t give a rat’s ass about it effectively protecting that white man.
yes, it happens anywhere else in the world too and the only indictment that matter is if any of philadelphia’s organizations with clout doesn’t at lest try to do something about it; lip service and/or promises don’t count, that shit just for the dumbasses and texans who accept eating shit like democrats do and why i moved away.
i was considering moving to philadelphia and now i’m glad i didn’t and i understand that the corrupt police and courts are everywhere; i’m just glad i got to dodge this one bullet out of many.
i would expect the biden administration to act in secret to break up these strikes since doing so hurt them so bad politically during the railroad strike and now i wonder if we will ever learn about that they are/will-be doing.
The meso American version of this is so fascinating because they built so many civilization supporting infrastructures and then seemingly forgot or just stopped how to using them leading to a collapse several times over.
I want to believe that religion or politics prevented them from enduring to the present day as they were at their height and that we’ll meet the same fate for the same reasons.
texas bieng texas also means that these guys will be gunned down by mysterious gun men years from now after public attention has died down, if they don’t move away far enough.
i lol because it’s the only way i can find to keep myself sane through the insanity from the last 40+ years and it’s taught me to expect more because boomers and the silent generation (eg biden and trump) are still in control and will be for atleast another 35+ years so shit will continue to happen because they only give a rat’s ass about themselves and maybe their children/grandchildren.
unless you’re one of those children/grandchildren, more shit will happen and expect to have to vote for those children/grandchildren into office or, at least, expect to call them boss at your next job; assuming you can still get a job.
and don’t bother complaining about it; the last 40+ years have also taught me the hard way that doing so will only label you a malcontent and make it more difficult to find work in your future.
learn how to fake a convincing smile to your bosses and find something to lol at for yourself to keep your head above the water.
As an a vintage millennial I can say w confidence: there will be more and you should prepare yourself. Lol
Same here; I’m glad I’m left that wannabe facist hell hole and for the same reasons
Older than most fediversers and I think the fact that they’re still working at providing me internets and backups says something. Lol
i use the same case for my own wifi ap/internet router & firewall/nas; it doesn’t work will with pata drives if you have too many sata like me.
I wonder how many times it takes for a judge to get tired of sending you too jail for contempt over and over again for refusing to say yes. Lol
i’m starting to think that’s what biden wants; alienating all progressives
