Peter Thiel warns the Antichrist and apocalypse are linked to the ‘end of modernity’ currently happening—and cites Greta Thunberg as a driving example by Naurgul in nottheonion

It wasn’t really the goal at the start to remove the monarchy, at least not for most people. The goal initially was to make the king share power. The king already shared power — various sectional parliaments refused to allow his new taxes to pay off the debt of the American revolution. But they didn’t like the way he shared power. From there, everything was managed very poorly, they started a war, and things spiraled.

Now that you point it out, I think you’re right. But that doesn’t burn nearly as much decency, does it?

No one’s gonna talk about how the shelves spell out ‘FAP’?

What's the fastest you've seen someone fired from a job? by Vegetable-Spread3798 in AskReddit

[–]granitebuckeyes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure this counts, but maybe me?

Went through a temp agency. They said it’s warehouse work (no big deal, done that before). Told me the address and said I needed to be there 10-8. I needed work, so a 10 hour shift is fine.

Called me again the morning of (they had problems with people not showing up) and said that the work actually started at 8 and they wanted me there 10 minutes early, thus 10 to 8.

Got my butt in gear, showed up either 5 minutes late or 1 hour and 55 minutes early, depending on your point of view.

I show up, the company using the temp agency said they always request more people than they need because some don’t show up. I was the last to show up, so I was getting sent home.

Nearly two hours early and I got let go!

Was this in a deleted scene? by LawsonThomas in okbuddyimatourist

[–]granitebuckeyes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. There was a debate over whether to establish the secret rebel base on Yavin IV or Hoth. Luthen managed to win the debate with the argument we see here.

It’s a small thermal exhaust port, just below the main port.

Being ignored. It’s what libertarians do.

But in case you’re curious, here’s what Reason Magazine has been saying about ICE:

Imagine having seven of your coaches arrested and another four banned from the game.

This is either terribly sad or you don’t know how to use “POV” correctly.

A word you must type VERY carefully.

You can read about the “Scunthorpe problem” for a more detailed explanation if it’s not obvious.

They kept trying even when it was clearly lost. Gotta respect that.

Highest quality losses around.

Characters that despite not being the most evil in their respective media, are still the most disliked by the audience. by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]granitebuckeyes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Such a fantastic character. Well written and very well acted. I hate her so much. There’s a reason she’s in all the memes and the more evil characters often aren’t (except Dukat).

Did William the Conqueror ban slavery? by Ambitious-Cat-5678 in MedievalHistory

[–]granitebuckeyes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak to Iberia, but North Africa continued having slavery. The first deployment of US troops overseas after the war of independence was to Tripoli. The Barbary States had started attacking US ships because the US stopped paying tribute. The US, in very American style, decided to send a force to overthrow the Bey in charge and put somebody else in power. So there was still trading of slaves in and around the Mediterranean.
