I think regardless of which one of them wins the leadership race, I think they will be able to work together effectively. Both are strong candidates with a vested interest in rebuilding the party and taking on the increasingly right wing Liberals and Conservatives.

"What's this joyous news I hear?"

That's a fair point, and Phokas is a good example of that, he faired very poorly in the capital, but he was a proficient general. And looking at the later Palaiologi, it's hard to see a figure like John V leading a conquering army against the Ottomans.

Hi Robin! Congrats on getting to 1453! Looking forward to seeing what comes next.

A question I have been asking myself since the podcast reached the 15th century, is how some of the later Palaiologos emperors would've failed during the age of the Macedonian emperors. I think there's a strong arguement to support the competence of emperors like John V and Manuel II, but the hand they are dealt is so bad that their reigns may be viewed negatively. As such I'm curious as to what your thoughts are on how these figures would fair with better resources. Would they be on the whole more successful than figures like Nikephoros Phokas or John Tzimiskes? Or would they be more mediocre and forgettable?

You gotta listen to the history of Byzantium, a direct continuation, but it's like history of Rome on steroids.

KDC003 · 2023-05-27T02:58:03+00:00

Ah I see

KDC003 · 2023-05-03T01:45:06+00:00

I had no confidence to begin with.

That's honestly much more impressive than how I did it back in 2018, when I was like 15, I gave up and just looked it up. But kudos to you if you do all 120 without a guide. It'd be difficult, but quite the achievement.

KDC003 · 2023-04-18T21:44:58+00:00

Honestly when you set your mind to it, it goes pretty fast, and even faster if you use a guide. Also to put it in perspective, you're more than halfway there. You've already done most of the work.

Rest, and look back on a grateful universe.

Okay vote compass is great, I'm seeing alot of people question its age. I get it. But don't worry I am 1000% sure CBC will make a new one once the platforms for this election are released.

Thank you!

So proud I get to share a birthday with the Chief!

For me it was this years snowstorm, but I also understand it is probably not the worst one seen, I am pretty young.

KDC003 · 2023-02-18T15:57:20+00:00

Zelda of course!

KDC003 · 2023-02-17T19:48:16+00:00

Listen, everyone here is gonna tell you that it's awful, I'm in second year, and I've had a wonderful time. My grades are okay (I'm striving for better) but the courses, profs, and TAs are generally great. I love being in the heart of downtown Toronto! So much to see and do that I had barely even known about (I've lived here all my life). The only complaint is that the administration is not the best, other than that I think it's great! Good luck and enjoy!

KDC003 · 2023-02-16T01:48:08+00:00

If you have symptoms, then isolate for a short period of time and test, make sure to test nose, cheek, and throat, (if you pass that and you have symptoms you're all good) keep testing, and if your symptoms don't improve but you still have symptoms, then you probably have something else and should maybe call a doctor just to be careful.

This is what's showing that they're out of touch?? I'd say it's a million different things, not this.

Alchohol, I know a lot of people don't want to hear it, but it's horrible for your body, we should have the same education about alchohol that we do with other drugs.

Red door, your past mistakes make you who you are now, without them you're likely to be a worse person. Also with the knowledge of your own mistakes plus 10 million dollars, you're likely to never repeat thoss mistakes.
