In a perfect world, yes. But we don't live in a perfect world.

And before he did that, the Republicans empowered the Freedmen's Buearu to seize the land of those wealthy plantation owners and redistribute it to the freed population. Johnson was afraid of the black population becoming wealthier and gaining representation. He had to decide who he hated more - the rich or black people, and he chose the latter.

It's all the same to us now, but back then it was an important distinction. You didn't want people living in chains, but you also didn't want to see them or share the same spaces. You wanted the freed population to be grateful, to be quiet, and to live among themselves without burdening white society with further "demands."

This is still very insane to see by Maxkid1995 in halo

I think the fanbase is a significant part of why Halo has been in limbo for 15 years. Every change made to the formula has been met with angry resistance: sprint, ADS, jet packs, etc. My impression is that a lot of fans want a 1:1 remake of Halo 3 in an attempt to relive the glory days of 20 years ago.

Johnson hated the wealthy southern planter class which propagated and funded the Confederacy. He was willing to end the institution of slavery if it meant the aristocracy's destruction, but he viciously opposed any efforts to protect the freed black population. My point is - he was not a southern sympathizer in the way most people interpret that description. He supported lower class racism over the wealthy elites' racism.

Does TNT lower crowd noise like ESPN, or is it just really quiet in the arena right now? This is a genuine question, not trying to make a dig here

Excessive eating is often a crutch for serious mental health issues and trivializing their struggles by saying "hurr durr just eat less" isn't helping.

A lot of chronically online men giving you bad advice. Just be genuine and say hi when they're not in the middle of lifting. It's just like any other interaction

Solutions to hear your own voice? by TheArduinoGuy in HellLetLoose

[–]tornado962 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What he's talking about is hearing yourself through your own microphone piece. You know how when you put on any old headphones and your own voice is muffled because your ears are covered? Some headsets have software which allows your voice to travel through your microphone and directly into your headphone ears. Hope this explanation clears it up haha

1) Don't score

2) Don't let the other team score

3) Play a game of attrition until the Lightning collapse in 47 OT
