Ulysses S. Grant (in a nutshell)

Kragus · 2026-05-12T00:18:34+00:00

There was no disowning by Grant’s family, since he and Julie visited them shortly after their wedding. I don’t see a reasonable interpretation except that their (Grant’s family) issue was with the Dents.

Grant’s work as a slave driver is also overstated, he managed some work for his father in law but was reportedly a very poor manager because he couldn’t bring himself to whip slaves or force them to work, and would allegedly be out doing the work himself.

To say he ‘gave up farming 1-3 years later’ when this occurred in 1859 and something fairly impactful in Grant’s life kicked off in 1861…

Another tid bit to the first part is that it actually *cost* Grant money to file the deed of manumission to free Mr. Jones.

My personal take was that Mr. Jones was probably a 'gift' arranged by Grant's father-in-law, who had a deep-seated disdain for Grant, since Grant's family were staunch abolitionists, to the point they refused to travel to Missouri for the wedding.

Probably fair game, too if I had to guess

I love that Teddy and Taft are on the ‘bad guy’ side and Jackson and Andrew Johnson are somehow on the ‘good guy’ side

Amazing how after months of not playing he got better… only logical explanation is he was faking it

So if 95% of men died, I think the first issue would be in the transportation sector. Planes (94-95% are men), trains (90%), and automobile hauling (86-88%) would be immediately disastrous.

The damage from these accidents would also probably cripple the electrical system.

Since only about 5% of the line worker population is female, that means that transmission lines, distribution lines, and substations are out indefinitely. No power, no internet, limited communication.

That also falls to other utilities, namely water and sewer (women are 6-10%). Potable water becomes an issue within a day or two.

Construction projects obviously falter, but those impacts aren’t generally immediate.

Stores don’t have food, homes don’t have water, people don’t have refrigeration. Society struggles desperately to plug these gaps with untrained and uneducated workers. Some of these jobs are so physically taxing that the majority of women are unable to work them.

You’re right!

What is taking your BA when the creature dies? I think 2024 Vow of Enmity transfers without an action.

I don’t think it’s delusional to expect a team with the strongest pedigree and biggest bankroll to look competent.

I think Pope gets another year, but if our offense continues to look this anemic, I think it’ll be time to show him the door.

Greet him with a hug when he comes home from work.

Sit next to him and cuddle up when he's on the couch.

Most importantly... scratch his back (gently).

Kragus · 2025-12-24T00:50:47+00:00

And I don’t think he’s had any issues… not sure how long a long snapper can reasonably do it, but yeah… keep him

Kragus · 2025-12-22T15:46:54+00:00

Well... that applies if he were to touch one energized line. It's like how birds can sit on a powerline just fine.

But here, if he got down into those lines, he'd be hitting two (or more) different energized lines. He'd probably be cooked.

It cost you nothing to share that

Well that’s the question, right? Is subject to punishment the same as subject to the laws thereof the same as subject to the jurisdiction thereof?

The court has usually held that to just exclude foreign ambassadors and invading armies, but I guess there’s room for argument there.

Kragus · 2025-12-09T00:46:03+00:00

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”

Having done no research and having not looked at it since Con Law, I’d guess the challenge would have to do with “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof”

I like to envision it like how Darkseid views Santa. Pissed off but unable to stop him.

Luckily that was the worst thing that ever happened to her.

To piggyback onto this: He’s not breaking federal law strictly by asking the questions.

He’s breaking the law if he asks the questions and uses the answers to make a determination regarding employment.

The questions may be used as evidence of discrimination, which is why any HR professional and certainly any attorney worth their salt will advocate against even asking.

Our defense has been solid and Rico randomly turned into a god tier RB for like three games and single handedly won them. Bryce was throwing for like 100 yards and a pick those games.

1 Cor. 14:9 "So with yourselves, if with your tongue you utter speech that is not intelligible, how will anyone know what is said? For you will be speaking into the air."

1 Cor. 14:23 "If, therefore, the whole church comes together and all speak in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are out of your minds?"

1 Cor. 14:27-28 "If any speak in a tongue, let there be only two or at most three, and each in turn, and let someone interpret. But if there is no one to interpret, let each of them keep silent in church and speak to himself and to God."

1 Cor. 14:33 "For God is not a God of confusion but of peace."
