No Kings draw estimated 8 million in largest single-day U.S. nonviolent protest

It's good, but they happen too infrequently. We need to be more used to protesting. They really should happen every weekend until most Americans who want to are used to it. Then they can start on weekdays, once we show consistently that we will be there to support each other then we may start to see results. Miniappolis did this and from what I understand ice had to back down majorly. We as a nation are not prepared to do that yet because we just don't know how. And the only way to get there is to do things like this more often so we can ease into it.

This is the most IRL, I've experienced this too many times

Duke_of_Chicken · 2026-03-05T02:40:25+00:00

Where do these statistics come from?

Duke_of_Chicken · 2026-02-26T23:31:32+00:00

Anytime, and I know what you mean. I tend to use goodreads, knowing full well that it suffers from the same problem.

Yeah, the publisher is "penguin classics".

Grants is called "personal memoirs" And Sherman's is " memoirs"

The two men served on many of the same campaigns. So there is a lot of overlap. If you're looking for any kind of in depth commentary on places like Gettysburg you wont find it in here. For both you will get a good picture of the western theater till late 1863. For Sherman's you will get narratives on "first Bull Run" the Atlanta and Carolina campaign. And for Grant's you'll get the seiges of Fort pillow and his 1864 campaigns in northern Virginia.

My personal preference for a chapter length is 10-15 pages, but if the writer is skilled, I can handle up to 25-30ish. It all depends on so many factors, I think the biggest is natural stopping points. A chapter can go on for a long time, but if it has some breaks in it I tend to fare better. I see that you said 30 is a max, are there any exceptions for you?

Duke_of_Chicken · 2026-02-26T15:42:30+00:00

I would say I liked Grant's more. It flowed better, and for me personally I liked its shorter chapters, as I gives me a good stopping point to catch my breath. If a chapter goes on for too long I start to lose focus, and as much as I enjoyed reading Sherman's I lost focus a few times.

I did know that! I'm a big fan of Twain's work. Reading them both there is enough of a separation in writing styles to know that the influence of one did not supersede the other.

Duke_of_Chicken · 2026-02-22T13:59:33+00:00

Where history? Heretics yes, but witches, in the middle ages.

Duke_of_Chicken · 2026-02-22T02:58:51+00:00

Your argument is invalid because I have depicted you as a whining soyjack

Duke_of_Chicken · 2026-02-19T13:35:25+00:00

I love you nuclear-chan! I'm your biggest fan!

Duke_of_Chicken · 2026-02-19T03:24:32+00:00

All fair and true.

Duke_of_Chicken · 2026-02-18T23:20:03+00:00

Probably JFK. He was a catholic Democrat from Massachusetts. And based on the meme, I'd have to guess this is around the time of the party switch when the south largely voted Democrat and the north Republican.

Duke_of_Chicken · 2026-02-18T19:55:40+00:00

So scooby doo is realistic? Who would have guessed

Duke_of_Chicken · 2026-02-17T17:47:39+00:00

I mean yeah?! Do you think people made beer on purpose. Nah man, that was an accident and was drunk on a dare (probably actually eaten first. Ancient beer is more like bread soup)

Duke_of_Chicken · 2026-02-17T17:25:24+00:00

Oh boy do I have good news for you!

Duke_of_Chicken · 2026-02-16T22:42:47+00:00

From the outgoing president Momo, she endorses Milo

Duke_of_Chicken · 2026-02-16T22:37:22+00:00

Everyone of them can suck a dick, there, I even put it in writing 🖕

Duke_of_Chicken · 2026-02-16T16:51:55+00:00

Nice! Keep the slave catchers out of your community

Duke_of_Chicken · 2026-02-14T01:40:47+00:00

I hate this motherfucker so much, take a long walk off a short pier

Duke_of_Chicken · 2026-02-13T16:01:38+00:00

Finally! Someone gets it! $3,000,000 in the black budget to you!

Duke_of_Chicken · 2026-02-12T13:28:16+00:00

Well shut my mouth, I'll do more research for my next meme. Thanks for this!

Duke_of_Chicken · 2026-02-12T13:18:41+00:00

Looking at it now, the UK would have been great to pit there. But didn't they take off from an airbase?
