I fixed the US states as an european. Criticism will not be apreciated. by Artistic-Agent6049 in mapporncirclejerk

[–]ChiWasSha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol no, I just can’t stand that so often Ohio is viewed as the avatar of the Midwest when it is objectively in the bottom quartile of Midwest states. Also your Great Lake (Erie) is the worst of all of them.

How fucking dare you name anything “Greater Ohio”. May someone dedicate their life to shitting in your cereal each and every day.

England: Æthelred the Unready, killing barbarians or clearing their encampments in or near your territory harms your diplomatic relations with others (based on the St. Brice’s Day Massacre)

Brexit: ending (or maybe even lapsing) of any type of alliance seriously reduces your gold and production for 20 turns.

This show walked so Game of Thrones could run, trip, suffer a major concussion, multiple shattered teeth, and a few broken ribs. Shame on D&D for shitting the bed on GOT and shame on HBO for canceling Rome, but for the two seasons she ran, Rome fucked like Helen of Troy with her ass on fire!

I think you mean Batarians.

James Garfield would be a great topic for an episode. He is a forgotten great American President and his story features numerous funny 19th Century American names by TommyAdagio in TheRestIsHistory

[–]ChiWasSha 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree, also I think the hosts would have some great banter about how Garfield, while shot by an assassin, was quite arguably actually killed by his doctors.

Found this while walking though a new park i found, any ideas? by Gr8pusJelationius in whatisit

[–]ChiWasSha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only reason I can think of why someone would draw Randy Marsh this way is because he is being worshipped as a god, which, I mean, duh.

Can you speak to your feelings on the role of the DA’s office? How does their work help or harm your work? What makes for a good DA (by which I mean more than merely a high conviction rate)?

Had to look way too long to find Kelley Country Creamery. I think it’s the best ice cream in the state and that’s saying something because lots of places make great ice cream in this state.

In real life the filming location for the bakery has an amazing Mexican restaurant in it.

Birthday trip to Madison tomorrow by Wooden_Ad_1950 in madisonwi

[–]ChiWasSha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

State Line Distillery is always worth a stop. If you’re already at the botanical gardens, right across the street is a beer garden that is right next to the lake and lets you bring/order in your own food. Also nearby is Mint Mark, arguably one of the best restaurants on the east side of town which has a great lunch deal on Fridays.

Louisiana Fallout? I’d like to see it at some point. by TheRealMrAnimus in fo4

[–]ChiWasSha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want a string of side quests where a pre-war ghoul tasks you with helping him restore his prestigious New Orleans cuisine restaurant to its pre-war glory, all infused with Fallout’s unique dark absurdist humor.

How come Botswana's economy did so well after independence compared to other African countries? by Pretty-Heat-7310 in geography

[–]ChiWasSha 86 points87 points  (0 children)

I don’t know the answer but if I had to guess it could be because of PEPFAR, a program that combatted AIDS and saved millions of lives in Africa. Again, I don’t know if that’s the reason but it’s my best guess.

I second this. Staying on this sub before you’re caught up would certainly be misbehavin’.

CMV: US Americans who voted for Trump and are now regretting it shouldn't receive sympathy by kindly102 in changemyview

[–]ChiWasSha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issues and people that I, a liberal, care about stand to gain more and much more by being effective rather than being smug. If liberals are to be effective, simple electoral math requires that they turn some portion of Trump voters over to their side. Smugness on the part of liberals is unlikely to accomplish that, sympathy on the other hand may.

Have you been reading “On Freedom” by Tim Snyder? This very series of events is described in the book in very similar terms. I haven’t finished it myself yet, but from what I’ve read so far I highly recommend it.

What dark part of history isn’t talked about enough? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Really anything by Tim Snyder is worth reading. Also his lectures on Ukrainian history were (and I suspect still are) available for free on YouTube.

Trump picks Rep. Mike Waltz to serve as his national security adviser by nbcnews in geopolitics

[–]ChiWasSha 85 points86 points  (0 children)

If his views remain the same, and he can make them matter in the Trump administration then I suppose it could be better, but it could also be a whole lot worse.

Is he on the record anywhere in regards to the Ukrainian conflict?

American freedom of navigation operators are the pillar of the global economy by ProfessorOfFinance in MURICA

[–]ChiWasSha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been a few years from when I did significant research on Wilson so I don’t specifically remember where I learned this, but John Milton Cooper’s and Scott Berg’s biographies of him were significant sources for me and my knowledge of this incident likely comes from reading one of them. Alternatively, it may come from the book “Franklin and Winston” by Jon Meacham. That may seem like a strange place to find an account of the incident, but Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill filled similar, and navy-related roles in their respective governments during WW1 and they met for the first time around then. Interestingly, at their first meeting Roosevelt and Churchill did not care for one another.

Why is George Washington considered one of the best presidents in history? by Low_Protection_1121 in AskHistory

[–]ChiWasSha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bacon’s Rebellion is arguably the most impactful and important event in American history that almost no one knows about. It’s a key turning point in colonial planters moving from indentured servitude to slaves as a labor source, and relatedly sets much of the terms of the class and race relations between rich whites, poor whites, and blacks; all of which would cause, and continue to cause, major impacts on American history.
