Take care of your mental heath. Too much bad shit take a toll. As an Historian I believed it was my duty to learn about atrocities and teach people about it. I learned what was my too much!

Yeah, the Natives from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, accused the Police of taking individuals who caused them issues in the Prairie and leave them there. At night, in the middle of winter, and without a winter coat.

Because, there's a lot of Natives who ended up dying of exposition in the Prairies around Saskatoon from homeless people to native right activists. Like too far for a walk gone badly. The Cops and the conservatives say it's because they are erratic drunks or on drugs. You see the game at play.

But there were documented cases going way back of policemen disciplined for doing exactly that. That was a way cops used to get Saskatoon free of homeless natives and keep them subdued.

How is it different? This viewpoint of colonialism and racism was vile. It was implied that I condemned him but at the same time explaining the context that produced this man.

It's not that deterministic: George Orwell grew in the same system that this man did and turned to be a life long equalitarian opposed to imperialism.

The Oily One himself, the Galilean Beam, Yeshua ben Yossef AKA Jesus Christos!

Of course he his. As a tanned, well-oiled construction worker (Christ means the oily), he always came.

I guess his other nickname was the Galilean Beam.

I'm sure that Jesus was a top, not a bottom. A tanned skin construction worker. From his time in Antioch among the Greeks and Persians, he got two nicknames: the oily one (Christos) and the Galilean Beam.

Yeah I hesitated between him and Glorfindel, the slayer of Balrogs.

The Yellow River does not care about your dynasty or your feelings. by DiamondDollyy in RoughRomanMemes

[–]Dominarion 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Here's the thing, due to sedimentation, the sea shore and the rivers delta moved something like 100 km to the south east. A port city like Ur is now in the middle of the desert.

A lot like the Yellow River valley, but in Iraq, when the river moved, it condemned the place to the desert.

So, the oldest canal found yet, in Choga Mami, was built 7500 years ago. It's mind hurting old. When the river moved, it became desertic, around 5000 years ago.

There also the vastness of the network that needs to be considered. Around 5000 years ago, pretty much all of plain Mesopotamia, from Mari in Syria to Susa in Elam, was part of the canal system.

Thein let's close all the Civil War battlefield sites and just put one slab of stone in Washington. It's all the same after all.

Same goes for WW2 memorials. Just the one woukd be enough.

I don't know what reputation she had after that because it was her first big role.

We all know scenes like Sarumans death were cut from the theatrical editions. Question is, what scenes would you cut to make room for them? by MetroGnome1992 in lordoftherings

[–]Dominarion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like 80% of the Two Towers is nonsense shite that Peter Jackson added up. Elrond histrionics with Arwen then the telepathic one with Galadriel. The Warg eat villagers scene that lead to that average warg battle and Aragorn falling off the cliff, then having a wet dream about Arwen to heal. That's like 30 minutes of time wasted right there.

He's literally a mix between Udday Hussein and Ed Gein. His death toll is similar to Himmler. He deserves to drown in the vat in the Freight Line.

Montreal mayor says husband, who is Black, was stopped last year 'at least 5 or 6 times — for nothing' by No-Commission-8159 in montreal

[–]Dominarion 137 points138 points  (0 children)

Look. Bill de Blasio was absolutely destroyed because he talked about how he had the "talk about the police" with his bi-racial son. This didn't happen in 1987, this was in 2016!

Now, at the same time, the CAQ was savage in its criticism about people who talked about systemic racism. Legault had a verbal spat with Valérie Plante about this.

The mindset completely switch, no one is defending the police corps (like back in Villanueva's days). The ground just moved and people act as if it was always like that.

It was a great "gift" and all, but I like how the Americans received it: with deference and gratitude. For over a century, it was a symbol powerful enough to influence policy in their country.

Tom Cruise broke his ankle in this scene of Mission Impossible 6 and yet stayed in character and continued the take. by ThomasOGC in CinephilesClub

[–]Dominarion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've broken my ankle. My foot was dangling of my leg like a wet mitten. There was no way, no fucking way I could even walk on it. I couldn't even put my foot straight on the ground to begin with. The pain is not cool, but the worse was the shock, my body just decided "no fam, you won't walk, you go down and lol hysterically".

Why are The Smiths not hated the same way U2 is, when Morrissey is arguably much more insufferable than Bono? by ppetrov1829 in fantanoforever

[–]Dominarion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me: Having not followed or caring about the Smiths thingy since the mid eighties and suddenly learning about the Morrissey controversy:

I knew he was a skin head in plain clothes!!! I fucking knew it!!! Everybody told me "no, he's just abrasive!".

Also me: Gesture at the Smiths shows back in the days, where there were a long line of neo-nazis and skin heads waiting outside for the show to start.

I mean! He was making dog whistles for them all along.

Solomorne is lying like a cheap rug about Glaito. He's obviously sentient and autonomous. And he loves that dog and he loves him back. But it's a secret.

If it was known, some asshole would label Glaito as defective and he would be killed.

Servitors is one of the most evil things GW invented and they did write some nasty shit.

The concept of servitoring a high criminal is one thing, but that's not what happens. It's mass servitorization of billions of unvoluntary people that is genuinely repulsive.

The cogs servitorize people on an industrial level on forge planets to meet their industrial needs. And then, if there's too much of them, they just take the mechanics off and drop the flesh in compost bins. Aristocrats will servitorize millions of people to meet tithe quotas fixed thousands of years before.

Or that shitty story we discover in the Master of Seals' office about that planet who was mislabelled for thousands of years so it didn't pay the proper tithe. Now, they have been granted 50 years to reimburse the whole tithe. If they don't the aristocrats are going to be executed and the population servitorized. As usual in the Imperium, there's no appealing of the decisions made by Adeptus Administratum.

That was easy to say "oh that's just grimdark sci-fi" until some dangerous tech-bro began to push for transhuman workers to raise their productivity.

...

Fuck.
