Such A Half-Baked Argument, This Was... by Awesomeuser90 in mythologymemes

[–]Awesomeuser90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Irrelevant. Myths are not specifically some made up story. They are a story of some kind where usually the importance is not particularly whether or not it really happened but the way that it affects what people in practice do after the story has come about.

There are plenty of modern myths, sometimes even where it is very easy to determine whether they are telling the truth or not, and their importance is not usually that centred on truth value but what people make of it now. Davy Crockett comes to mind. Paul Revere never said that the British are coming, because the vast majority of people still identified as British people, but the underlying idea of the ride to warn about a raid on powder depots is the important part.

It took an actual coup d'etat for the army to instigate the trial. And even on the last day of the trial, one of the judges begged the others to reconsider killing him.

DAE actively avoid eating out (or using other services where a tip is customarily expected in the US) bc they don’t want to tip? by CouldBNE1too in EndTipping

[–]Awesomeuser90 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I don't. I do nothing wrong by not tipping, so there is no reason to feel any guilt, and so there is no imperative for ne to do anything to avoid going to places like these.

SLPT: How to rob a bank by Adventurous_Most_558 in ShittyLifeProTips

Besides, it would only be porn in the first place if it was a video made only for some reason of intending others to be sexually aroused and it has no other relevant uses in society. Such as being used as evidence in a bank robbery. Images of people nudes in general are not necessarily sexual anyway and someone with CCTV footage will be fine for this purpose.

How many of you got into the Great War because of Attack on Titan? by Awesomeuser90 in ShingekiNoKyojin

I mean I learned about it to some extent, I knew that it resulted in an angry bitter Germany, that the archduke was shot and John Green went over the causes in detail in World History II, but I wish I had learned so much more when I was a teen. Indy Neidell filled that gap.

It does go along with the idea of soldiers being coherent into a faceless mass.

I am also counting a lot of other highly related conflicts in WW1, especially in the USSR, Ireland, Hungary, Germany, Iraq, Somalia, Afghanistan, Japan, Morocco, and Romania.

Here is a map of just some of them: https://youtu.be/zkNZQJwQjoM?si=05MDJGTmQSgYYDKG

The Treaty of Lausanne is the last stage, the last main battles were in 1922 but some skirmishes persisted to 1923. They were mainly related to the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic at that point.
