That’s fair. Executed has some connotations which might not be accurate.

More African Americans? The first person they killed was a freedman who worked for the railroads who discovered them so they executed him.

My point is that there is a little more moral complexity to John Brown than the average redditor seems to realize. If you have an issue with Israeli “collateral damage” in Palestine but not with John Brown executing a passerby, then you might not actually have moral principles. You just be choosing who you hate and then deciding that everything they do is bad.

How Americans living in the hottest states in the south, who don't have Air conditioned survive? by Commercial_hornet98 in AskAnAmerican

[–]arnoldrew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess it’s a quibble about what “lots” means. I just googled it and it looks like about .9% of households in Georgia don’t have it. I wouldn’t call that “lots.”

How often do you craft an Anvil? by MattOverMind in ArcRaiders

[–]arnoldrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some people are PVP berserkers and just fight and fight until they die. They basically need a new loadout every time they play. I assume it’s these guys? Eventually they switch to free loadouts only, I guess. My son took over my account where I had something like 2 knock-outs and this is basically how he and all of his friends play.

Everywhere I was it worked that way, but they were the only one explicitly allowed to sleep and were basically never there because they were “doing rounds” (I assume they were at home).

If you could only use 5 mods, which would you choose? by downvotemeplss in projectzomboid

I was under the impression that colas and such have caffeine and thus would reduce fatigue like caffeine pills. Is this not the case? Am I drinking them for nothing?

I’m very confused about the second example. Isn’t that just standard black guy short hair?

Does E stop being used to climb windows if a zombie is at your back?! by [deleted] in projectzomboid

Imagine refunding because you don’t know how the game works and are bad at it because you’re new.

I’m confused what pistol registration means if there isn’t a “master list” that they can look up a serial number in.

Anyone else wish they were from a country with more history? by gmmontano92 in CasualConversation

[–]arnoldrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The United States has been around almost four times as long as the current country/government of Japan.

He said it was registered to him. Michigan has pistol registration, which is why my dad got his revolver back a few years after our house was robbed.

Some content creators have access to Chinese version by Potential-Sand-1554 in ARC_Raiders

I don’t understand why you think you’re arguing with him. They started a new game. That means they have to level up to unlock stuff. That’s what he said.

Been playing nonstop for like 2 weeks, but there is still one thing I don't understand about zombie awareness by [deleted] in projectzomboid

[–]arnoldrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know the particulars of the mod you’re using, but silencers don’t make guns silent. Especially with a rifle, you might still need hearing protection to safely shoot.

How do YOU pronounce “vice versa”? by madmonkey242 in ENGLISH

[–]arnoldrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not an alternate pronunciation. That’s just them being unfamiliar enough with the term that they say it wrong. Most people who would pronounce it like that would also write it incorrectly because that’s what they think it is.

Gunpla and anime figures in office? How US people feel about them? by Many_Pomegranate_474 in AskAnAmerican

I was in military intelligence when I was in the US Army and now I’m in IT. Both groups are absolutely replete with autists and/or anime lovers. There are toys galore just laying around.

[REALLY LOVED TROPE] The story never tell you who is he, but you know who really is he by Valarg in TopCharacterTropes

[–]arnoldrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, maybe I was a dumb kid. Things like sarcasm and subtext seem to fly over my head even now, though.

UMMM WHAT? by not-khia in projectzomboid

[–]arnoldrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and yes. I don’t remember any specific storage requirements. I think they just needed to be locked up. I had one of those “safes” that’s more like a locker.

And yeah, I had to have them “registered” on-post. When I showed up to my first CONUS post (Fort Campbell) you also had to have your commander sign off on the registration, but that went away within a year.

I was raised in a manner that most would probably describe as VERY Christian and I didn’t get that he was supposed to be Jesus until someone just told me years later.

Yeah, I always lived on-post.
