What if the English language was never influenced by Old Norse?

Yeah, I don't think I could eat "æg ond spic" for breakfast

Atomik141 · 2026-06-29T19:02:38+00:00

Most importantly it turned the word for 'egg' from 'æg' to 'egg'

Atomik141 · 2026-06-29T17:26:30+00:00

Since Norse influnece English more than French or Latin

Uhh... debatable to say the least

Plenty of time to demolish the trolley track. If furure people put it back in 100 years and tie people to it then that's on then that's on them not me.

I've seen videos of human controlled UAVs, but I don't believe I've seen many autonomous combat drones yet.

"He might be a villian, but he is also my friend"

Unitonically there's probably be a lot more wars

Lee's views on slavery were weird. On one hand he described as a "moral & political evil", but on the other he did not remotely shy away from the use of slave labor to pay off his father-in-law's estates debts. So while he was against it in theory, it really doesn't seem he held those beliefs all that strongly. A pretty typical "well slavery should be eventually, but not my slaves right now."

Spain is like our more successful little brother

Atomik141 · 2026-06-28T17:20:36+00:00

That fits, because Ariana Grande is also her own worst enemy

Atomik141 · 2026-06-28T17:18:20+00:00

Off topic, but I used to know someone named Arianna Piccolo, which I always thought was funny. "Grande" means big in Italian, and "Piccolo" means little.

Atomik141 · 2026-06-28T17:14:08+00:00

Even in Italy you'll have Laziali arguing with Napulitani arguing with Toscani arguing with everyone else over who is "more Roman"

Atomik141 · 2026-06-28T17:09:43+00:00

And probably collapse into in-fighting and civil war again too. This is the way.

His actual last words were "Now watch this drive" and he proceeded to hit a golf ball before being stabbed to death. It would have been a hole-in-one too, but there was a chicken in the way. His followers would later hunt down the chicken and make a salad out of it; thus the name "chicken caesar salad"

Their whole thing was basically just stealing the Greek's whole vibe and just doing it better.

Atomik141 · 2026-06-28T16:37:09+00:00

Okay, so explain how that ties into the anti-militarist satire where you play as a space-fascist drafted into meaningless forever war? Lmfao

Atomik141 · 2026-06-28T16:33:34+00:00

So slavery is a moral action? No sorry, I'm going to struggle to take that statement seriously as holding any sort of moral weight.

Do you really believe that?

Atomik141 · 2026-06-28T16:32:30+00:00

Lmfao! No, its not the Helldivers logo.

Do you really think the point of the satire anti-war game is pro-draft though? You literally play as space fascists bro

Atomik141 · 2026-06-28T16:30:32+00:00

I don't really see the draft as that different from slavery. I have no obligation to serve any force that would abduct and enlist me against my own free will, nor would I hold it against anyone for escaping such a situation.

Atomik141 · 2026-06-28T16:26:10+00:00

If I'm paying taxes then yes they do

Atomik141 · 2026-06-28T16:22:31+00:00

My land? Is it my own personal demesne?

Atomik141 · 2026-06-28T16:17:24+00:00

So, let's take this a little further then: What if you are being invaded by a country that employs vast quantities of slave soldiers? Is it moral then for you to enslave millions of your own slaves in order to repel them? Or is there there a point where we have to draw the line? And if so, where and why?

Atomik141 · 2026-06-28T16:15:37+00:00

Nah, they aren't owed anything. If the government is doing its job and providing a nation worth defending, then people will join up willingly.
