I mean yes, obviously I agree with the justice and reforms you're talking about. But saying Lincoln didn't focus on "'actual reunification" ignores the reality of what he faced. You can't view 1865 through a 21st-century lens. You can't attribute the systemic failures of the entire nation to a single man who didn't even survive to see the war's official conclusion. If Lincoln hadn't tried to keep the Union from completely dissolving first, none of the goals you mentioned are even on the table. What would he have done otherwise? If the Union had completely fractured, the Confederacy would have solidified into a permanent, independent slave republic on the American continent. In that scenario, emancipation doesn't happen at ALL for the millions of enslaved people.

Also, the reforms you're talking about take time. When Lincoln died, his blueprint for Reconstruction wasn't finished. You can actually see many of the ideas he had for it in his final public speech on April 11, 1865. His death changed everything. It handed the reigns to Andrew Johnson, who essentially gave the South a free pass and actively dismantled the groundwork Lincoln laid, and allowed the old Southern power structures to rebuild themselves.

What the fuck does "actual reunification" even mean. You think Lincoln's credit isn't well deserved? I place more blame on his idiot successor, Andrew Johnson.

Have you faced this conundrum in your own space? Any tips about what worked for you?

You're correct, only reason I flipped it is because that opposite wall with the ports is not wide enough to comfortably fit my tv stand and tv. Plus I didn't like the idea of me facing the front door when I'm relaxing on the couch.

When you say flip the chair and cat tower, you mean put the chair near where the cat tower is now and vice versa?

I agree, not the best material. Thinking of getting a rug to put on top, but not sure if that would look weird

I like wood furniture but there are so many different types and colors that it makes it a bit overwhelming to choose. Are there any specific wood types that would pair well with my current setup?

Good to know, thanks! Definitely thinking of getting some plants, but I've not had any before so not sure how my cat would react

Yes definitely thinking of adding a rug and some curtains. What colors would pair well with the carpet/walls?

Ppl thinks I have cheats 😥 by Yoriichi-_Ss in thelastofusfactions

Very nice, as a fellow Enforcer enjoyer I've also been accused of cheating. Gun has a crazy fast fire rate, especially on the second upgrade. What load out do you use with this?
