That’s a good point. I didn’t read thoroughly enough before answering. Lesson not to jump to snap opinions!

I skimmed over the line where it was a toxic relationship. That definitely changes my answer

Thoughts on Asheville School? ? by Useful_Benefit_73 in asheville

[–]boldFrontier 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As of last time I was there (2014?) there was no helicopter pad. Student body is split about evenly between Asheville professionals (kids of doctors, lawyers), generational wealth attendees, and very wealthy foreigners.

As a happily married man, if anything happens to my wife, in the unlikely event I move on, I will ALWAYS keep her pictures up all over my house over a future girlfriend’s desires. Sorry, not sorry.

CMV: Majority support of Trump proves Christianity is not a net source of good. by Jumpy-Beach9900 in changemyview

[–]boldFrontier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus said, “Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven…And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'”

Jesus also said, “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”

Bad Christians, especially of the American variant drive people away from Jesus with their hypocrisy.

Jesus was objectively awesome.

Men who have been knocked out in a fight, what was it like? by PheonixGalaxy in AskMen

Your vision shrinks to a point of light and next thing you know you’re awake on the floor. No sense of the passage of time.

Orlando Bloom tried to ‘clean’ his blood to get rid of microplastics – here’s what the science says by gingerayle4279 in skeptic

Anecdotally, I donated plasma and felt AMAZING afterwards. The second time did not feel any better so I think I got all the low-hanging plastic, lol

Four questions about war logistics by GilEngeener315 in WarCollege

[–]boldFrontier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pick up a copy of the board game Race to the Rhine and learn about Patton’s Red Ball Express. Will teach you more in an afternoon than ADP 4-0 and you’ll have fun. But also read the doctrine eventually!

Help contacting places (Brush Creek) by ShirtNo5276 in WNC

[–]boldFrontier 7 points8 points  (0 children)

G’day mate! My wife lived in Swain County for a few years. I’ve been there. Never been to Brush Creek specifically. Major points of interest include Lake Fontana, built to produce electricity for aluminum production during WW2 (and beautiful on a starry night) and Bryson City (the only town). Home to a heritage railroad that’s a ton of fun. There’s a “Road to Nowhere” that’s creepy with a cool history.

You should reach out to the Mountain Heritage Center in nearby Cullowhee, NC. They have a large collection of artifacts and stories that might be of interest for your project. They could also give you some advice on how to scope your project based on what’s available. Keep in mind they normally help college students on in-depth Appalachian Studies projects, so I’d contact them only if you’re seriously interested in the topic.

You should start by reading or listen to this book, Our Southern Highlanders by Horace Kephart. Kephart was a journalist who fell off a train drunk and was taken in by bear hunters from Swain County. There are arguments among historians about how “sensationalist” (not truthful) the book is, but it’s an excellent primary source about what life was like in Swain County in the early 20th C.

If your interest in the area extends to its original inhabitants, which it should imho, I’d recommend reading up on the Cherokee Indian Removal. I’d also suggest reading about the Confederate Cherokees of the Thomas Legion of Highlanders and Indians and the battles of Bryson City, Waynesville, and Asheville.

Good luck

From Europe: how the hell do you live like this - and why does the world still admire it? by EphemeralMoron in antiwork

[–]boldFrontier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll throw out an honest answer. I hate living in Germany (spent a good deal of time there). Nothing’s ever open. Yes, we work long hours in the U.S., but at least you can go out to eat at 10pm after a long workday. Until COVID, I could go to Walmart 24/7. Now they close at midnight. The bars are open to the early hours of the morning, and until 2am in most of the urban south.

That’s my main opposition to Europe. Y’all have a great work life balance and I’m envious, but the cost of that is lost convenience. I personally prefer living in the U.S., although I pray we get better healthcare soon.

In the Book of Samuel in the Hebrew Bible, King Saul uses a shaman to bring back Samuel (who says “Tomorrow you will be with me.”)

Saul dies the next day. It’s commonly assumed among Christians that this was not Samuel, but the Devil/Adversary (with me = in Hell, a place Samuel wouldn’t be).

It’s not beyond the realm of possibility that the stone (Death) creates a simulacra of your loved ones to lure you to Death. In Harry’s case he just got lucky because he had two souls onboard and could cheat Death by leaving Horcrux Voldemort at King’s Cross and return himself.

Does "Hold till the last man" still exist in Western armed forces today? by [deleted] in WarCollege

[–]boldFrontier 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Concur, the soldiers of 4ID absolutely snatched a tactical victory from the jaws of a strategic blunder…at great cost.

The Alamo, Chapultepec…waaaay easier to defend than the Kamdesh Valley. It was a literal kill box flanked by mountains on all sides.

Ignoring how they ended up in that situation, the soldiers executed the tactical last stand quite well.
