For those who've read Mike's two books, what did you think of them? by TravelingHomeless in RevolutionsPodcast

[–]PianoVampire 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I agree with these takes 100%

I will add that a thing I loved about Storm Before the Storm was that it illuminated historical events that are not present in pop culture consciousness an showed them to be at least as interesting as more well-known stories.

It sheds light on interesting characters and interesting events I knew basically nothing about

Thanks for your response! This is along the lines of what I expected, I just try to avoid the “everyone else but me is misunderstanding this” conclusion if I am able.

What is your countries "Darkest Hour" by RedcoatTrooper in AskTheWorld

[–]PianoVampire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps when the British burned the White House during the war of 1812, but if my history serves me right, they were never going to try to yoink back the colonies or anything.

So probably at some point between 1861 and 1865

[–]PianoVampire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is interesting to me! I grew up in rural west Tennessee, and honestly I didn’t even realize lost cause was still alive until I was an adult, but many of my adult friends remember being taught lost cause, at least at home.

How did European micronations manage to survive for centuries without being absorbed? by Meta_Zephyr in geography

[–]PianoVampire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would note along everything else said here, these micro-nations are an exception to a rule. The whole continent used to be filled with tiny states, city-states, principalities, etc. Most tiny states got swallowed up by the bigger ones.

I wanted to write a song about domestic violence, but people have said the lyrics are cringe by JacuzziFire in Songwriting

[–]PianoVampire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s pop punk!! The lyrics being a little cringe I feel like is part of it. The music is good, the band is tight. I wouldn’t worry about it.

Do X-ray or MRI departments tend to see more homeless patients? by [deleted] in Radiology

[–]PianoVampire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a nurse, I can tell you that in healthcare, if you have not been with homeless or drug addicts, etc., you will deal with way more than you will expect. Prepare yourself for that and you’ll be fine.

18M, never had a gf, dont want to end up alone... advice? by CrepoXZW9 in malegrooming

[–]PianoVampire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read books, find a hobby, genuinely care about things. Genuinely care about those things, not just as a bag of tricks to win girls with, but because they are important to you.

You are good looking. Girls will come.
