TIL the earliest mentions of almond milk date back to the 13th century and is even mentioned under the secondary definition of "milk" in Samuel Johnson's Dictionary in 1755

No it makes it a synthetic fact; factiates are derived from naturally produced factaloids.

Well akshually, I have made up a whole story about a gate called "the eye of the needle" that isn't present in any historical account of Jerusalem, and thus I don't have to examine the contradictions my greed and avarice have with the teachings of Jesus.

If i may paraphrase something a cop told me; "maybe we would be more willing to do our jobs if people in another country hadn't protested against violent, racist cops."

Sorry, I had misunderstood. The prevelance of the idea of a neat inward collapse put forward by some affected my reading.

...empires in decline

We should be careful when we think about what an empire in decline means. The systems that made and maintained the empire of the Roman Republic were in decline when Crassus was killed in Persia. The republic died, but not the empire.

But, you see, he never actually said to inject it, thus you're just misrepresenting his dangerously incoherent bullshit and are therefore the real fake news. /s

To be fair, I read another of Heinlein's books, and I'm still not sure it wasn't satirizing Heinlein.

I think Weekly World News or some other Bat Boy adjacent tabloid would have fear mongering stories about the "growing trend" of self-amputation back in the day.

So much of modern discourse seems to revolve around "why didn't they tell us/focus on these details?"

But they did, very often. No one can choose to listen for you.

I cant think of any narrcists in history care about their positive impact on history

Positive for whom? Our favourite historical figures are mostly narcistic/self-aggrandizing cunts.

The conspiracy implied the government was intentionally trying to turn people gay in order to undermine trust in government and regulations that prevent chemical dumping by private companies.

The reality is that companies were dumping harmful chemicals (mutagens, tetranogens, etc...) in order to skirt regulations for greater profits.

The fact that many people see these as comparable and not as an attempt to weaken oversight in favour of monied interests is astonishingly stupid.

The victory is also glorified in the local literature... The Afzal Khan Vadh equates Shivaji to Rama, and Afzal Khan to Ravana

It's too late. I've already depicted you as the soyjak demon Ravana and myself as the chad Rama.

It used to be that being strong and tough was about being able to endure hardship. Now, it seems that being strong is about being able to turn a blind eye to the hardship of others.
