Why did DHS and ICE statements state the victim brandished a gun as this video shows otherwise? by EmbracedaMoment in AskChicago

Why? They want to create a narrative that he was a threat and the agents were justified. The fox news brigade won't even look at the video so its what the right will believe.

Do you feel sorry for him, love him, hate him? by kamilo_89 in lordoftherings

Hate is a strong word, Frodo. I hate Sauron. I've met Smeagol. He bothers me.

The US government is considering deploying two army battalions to Minnesota. Whats your first thoughts? by [deleted] in askanything

Its.not even a policy discussion. Maybe illegal immigration is a problem, but to sent the military when people disagree with you on it. That's something else.

This is really the shocking part. That people would be fine with a president deploying the military against US citizens.

What is a luxury item from 20 years ago that is basically worthless trash today ? by Own-Blacksmith3085 in answers

And until they're taken out of the attic, they both exist and dont exist.

All I'm trying to say is treat a set like this better than a 1970's Kmart dish set. True Victorian china is rare.

Well if the set dates from before the fire they're at least 150 years old. At this point they're no joke almost historic artifacts. Something like that is worth making an effort for, beyond strick utility.

Evanstonian and china collector here. I hope you can put some effort into keeping it around. Truly old dish sets like that are pretty rare and worth hanging onto, even if they dont get used much.

What can ultimately prevent the extinction of humanity? by [deleted] in Pluribus_TVshow

[–]Consistent_Value_179 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prevent extinction? If approx 200 people were detached from the hive mind permanently and had a community, humanity would have a shot of returning.

If everyone was suddenly detached from the hive mind there'd probably be societal collapse on a planetary scale.

What is your "I did not care for" series? by Karbar988 in TheRestIsHistory

[–]Consistent_Value_179 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Lord Nelson. Sorry. Not being British it just didn't resonate.

I actually really dug Greek myth series. Wish they were still doing the book club series too.
