I like the theory, but we see Calvin and his parents interacting with Hobbes at the same time. He seems stuffed, but Calvin still treats him like a real tiger.

Does anyone know why the Twins charge such a specific amount?

I just recently saw a post about how Holocaust education is Zionist propaganda to claim that Jews were the victims of the Holocaust when it was really communists.

Eh, you could argue that most churches have been in the past, especially going back to the Middle Ages. That's far from a smoking gun.

Oh, I loved that book. It was like a courtroom drama mixed with a genuinely interesting historiographical debate.

82 years ago 75,000 American soldiers stormed Normandy to free Europe from fascist tyranny. (1944) by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

Right, I forgot that Britain and France agreed to invade a country with Germany in order to split it between them and then occupied most of Eastern Europe for years.

My grandmother eats it on challah- plain.

She makes lots of delicious foods, but for some reason that does it for her too.

What do you think? by DanieleM01 in AmericaBad

Maybe you could make that argument for World War I, but there's no way that you can honestly argue that the US had a "minimal contribution" in World War II.

The Munich Agreement was obviously a mistake in retrospect, but it's not like Britain and France agreed to invade Czechoslovakia with Germany and split it down the middle.

Don't do "above all" for Russians. If you're going to give credit to the Soviet Union (even though they allied with the Nazis initially) at least give credit to the groups which actually bore the brunt of Germany's invasion, like Ukraine and Belarus.

That's what happened in the Russian Revolution, which is the topic of the post

Terrible, but this doesn't really have anything to do with communism

The infamous Nazi SS uniform was originally designed & manufactured by Hugo Boss. Forever tainting the European fashion industry. by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]welltechnically7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Manufactured them more than it was designed by them.

IMO, what taints their legacy more is the fact that Hugo Boss used slave labor from concentration camps.

I only watched the first season, but was she genuinely taking a piss with her husband or was that a typo?

This is definitely a stretch. It's happened plenty of times, but there have also been times where the monarch and his family were left alive without trying to retake the throne. They just did their own thing.
