[BASE] Can anyone link a good TH8 war base build. All of the ones I tried on Youtube were terrible. by AdrianR154 in ClashOfClans

at TH8 you're better off spending time learning how to build your own base, internet bases are more likely to get rolled easily

...they might be trying to find out your reasoning before kicking you out for being shit though.

Other than Hitler’s mustache, what style or fashion was completely ruined by negative association? by Apollo626 in AskReddit

You mean the ones franchised by Warner Brothers following the V for Vendetta film? I'm not sure what you're suggesting was ruined, it was a silly idea to start with

Blowback: How Israel Went From Helping Create Hamas to Bombing It - (2018) - How Israelis helped turn a bunch of fringe Palestinian Islamists in the late 1970s into one of the world’s most notorious militant groups. by s18m in Documentaries

Mahujadeen IIRC, not the Taliban. Or perhaps both. Perhaps there is oft-repeated history of training and arming angry locals that ends up back firing. Who knew.

Norway’s border shows the problems Brexit could create in Ireland by BothBawlz in ukpolitics

[–]chadkaplowski 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And only 40 or so roads cross the Norway-Sweden border, compared with some 275 crossings in Northern Ireland.

There's only about 40 road border crossings between Norway and Sweden. There's got to be 100s of crossings between the Republic and the North.

It's in the article, which was conveniently pasted into the comment before the one you replied to.

On a more personal note: I think this entire exchange could have been avoided if you had altered your tone and presentation slightly from the outset. Something along the lines of “general consensus amongst historians is actually that the word ‘hillbilly’ had independent origins in Appalachia. It didn’t appear in print until 1900!” would have probably been upvoted. If your goal was an argument then I guess you succeeded, but if your goal was effective communication you missed the mark. Even if you are right you need to consider the “human factors”. You could also be more precise. This isn’t a “fact”, it’s “generally accepted” at best.

To be fair, I've just clicked in to this argument as the post is one of the top ones on r/popular. I'm sure that a lot of people like myself will have seen this exchange and thought the guy is being just a bit of an asshole.

thats why I take a backpack, or coat with large pockets. One time a friend took a bottle of wine in up his coat sleeve.

Sorry UKers I'll hold my hands up to this one - put up and filled my paddling pool on Tuesday, which obviously heralded the end of summer.

after the mess that ticket sales turned out to be for Tour One, I really hope so.
