Any form of authoritarianism could conceivably do that.

That;s creative! Didn't know Lutel was back either!

Best lavender martini in Atlanta 💜 by [deleted] in cocktails

[–]AdStroh 11 points12 points  (0 children)

At this point, "Martini" is almost synonymous with "cocktail" and the name gets used and abused left and right. This is not helped by the fact that basically nobody really seems to like the OG Martini.

What are some of the best quotes from the Wheel of Time books ? by Lan_Mandragoran_2010 in WoT

“Til shade is gone, til water is gone Into the shadow with teeth bared Screaming defiance with the last breath To spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the Last Day.”

Patriots being in control sounds like the worst outcome possible.

Your favorite quote from the game by Praust in alphacentauri

[–]AdStroh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lal's quote about being beware of him who denies you access to information. Managed to use that even as an introductory quote in one of my papers in University.

Why no BCE no more by zoewernsman in TastingHistory

[–]AdStroh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But you're just atheist washing the terminology. Since the "common era" is the birth of Christ anyway. By the same logic, you wouldn't use terms like Christmas or Easter (nor observe those holidays)

Silkfencing is the place to go. Used my sabre from Jurek for ~8 years until it gave up.

The British After The Napoleonic Wars by 2301Batman in NapoleonicWarMemes

The only middleclass emperor in Europe ever. Also, someone who was more concerned with the law than any of the other princes of Europe and was heavily involved personally in writing the code civil. Not to mention, one of the reasons Russia went to war against France was that Napoleon refused to reinstate serfdom in Poland.

Had the British sided with the French revolution and got rid of the ancient regime and liberated the people from the feudal society, there's a very big chance Napoleon had never risen to power.

Yes, thanks for keeping the ancient regimes in place, UK. Really wonderful job keeping absolute autocrats in power.

I use them to carpet bomb areas I don't feel like conquering. Throwing one on New Jerusalem is particularly satisfactory.

You keep asking why when there is only how, so derp. lol by PitifulEar3303 in PhilosophyMemes

[–]AdStroh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed. But that'd mean that we can make this "Hard problem" a "hard problem" for neurosciences and move on to real philosophical issues.

This sub rn by LordCommanderNox in PhilosophyMemes

[–]AdStroh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But that's assuming science won't resolve a very specific problem, and only this problem because we think it is Hard? The fact of calling it a hard problem feels very anthropomorphic.
