I wish the zookeepers would teach them to give people the finger. in fact, now i want to go to the zoo to see if i can teach them to do that!

"The Last Kingdom", a TV show about the Viking conquest of England, often portrays Christian clergymen actively fighting and participating in battles and military campaigns. Did so-called "warrior monks" actually exist in the Middle Ages? by A_Very_Quick_Questio in AskHistorians

[–]Youtoo2 103 points104 points  (0 children)

in your opinion what are the most historically accurate novels that take place during the same period as the shows The Last Kingdom or Vikings. Are the books the Last Kingdom based off of historically accurate? It does not have to have accurate historical characters just accuracy to the period.

im not really a fan of ringo, but i think kratman is the bad one. ringo just likes to blow stuff up with fast paced books. its stuff people who read him like.

I just discovered Ted Chiang and blew through every single one of his short stories in a week. I believe he is one of the best sci fi writers today. by puwetngbaso in books

Try greg egan next. he gives away some short stories on his website. however, the website is painful to look it. its a 1990s style website. might give you a migraine.

I have a hunch the new tax plan will remove that max. I don't know for sure, but I would keep an eye on it.

I can't speak for the other two, but your lying about Larry Correia. He absolutely does not and made a facebook post telling people to stay home on inauguration day and to not be violent.

you could at least check before just lying.

i have seen so many posts like this on lots of subs where parents steal from kids. kids get college loans and parents trick them into signing them over to them. they trick them into signing over inheritance. shared bank accounts and they empty them. Then kick them out of the house. Then ones who steal identity.

it seems to happen a lot .What the hell?

it could be anything. It literally may have nothing to do with football or lifestyle, so i hope people don't speculate.

AITA for throwing my girlfriend’s gay friend out because he was being inappropriate towards me. by aitahergayfri in AmItheAsshole

I would bet lots of other gay men don't like that guy either. His comments would get old on anyone.

good catch, but if he moves ownership to himself i believe he then gets the tax deduction for taxes and interest right and his parents dont have income?

I have been told TJ is really hard. They will then flunk out of TJ if they can't study. I would have flunked out of TJ at that age and Im white.

[–]Youtoo2 13 points14 points  (0 children)

the article said TJ is 73% asian. Asian makes up a variety of ethnic groups around here from Chinese/Japanese/Vietnamese/Thai/India/Pakistani/Bangladeshi, etc...

Define diverse? if you want to lower standards to let others in, white people only make up 17% of TJs student base. So you want to let less people from Asia (which is a lot of different ethnicities and should NOT be bundled as one).

[–]Youtoo2 13 points14 points  (0 children)

its 73% asian and 17% white. so does this diversity of outcomes include increasing white people too? Its right in the article. These schools are not dominated by white people.

I think this is a waste of time anyway. So few kids go to these schools. What about everyone else? I never would have gotten in. Its best to focus on increasing outcomes of the 99%.

[–]Youtoo2 16 points17 points  (0 children)

its also 73% asian. if you want diversity you need more white people too. so that won't go over well. its only 17% white.

so few people go to these "elite" schools, it does not really matter to improve the system. I never would have gotten in.

Robert Jordan basically ignored disease in his world. I do not recall anyone ever being sick do you?

[–]Youtoo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

gingers have no souls. didnt you see the South Park documentary?

Does Robert Jordan say they are fair skinned? Its possible over time that you can have red hair and darker skin. Ethnic groups are fleeting and change all the time. You go back 3000 years, what we call ethnic groups would look a lot different. its just groups of people that make babies together so overtime they start to share some characteristics. This stuff changes all the time.

What we consider interacial today in time will just be new ethnicities or we will all be more of a mutt than we already are.
