english accent history guy went from being an endearing comic foil to a pompous ass in like 3 minutes
i mean, i literally thought to myself "oh wow, some writer discovered A People's History of the United States"
The doritos thing is extremely dumb if true. Like we could make these so people were more clean after eating them but we think people love getting grease on all their stuff / washing their hands often.
not sure if i like the results

well, yeah, that's what I meant.
I didn't bring up something that far down the line because it's kind of silly conjecture. She actually said
"do you think the brits and canadians would have been able to drop the bomb to end the war with america? no!"
I thought about pointing out how many immigrants and expatriates were involved in the Manhattan project but then she brought up that the Louisiana purchase would have never happened without the revolution. My first thought was "so?"
Yeah, that's a super dumb stance to take.
Mostly because it is sort of correct but also incredibly not, as the picture of Europe in the 19th century would not be one we recognize if Britain hadn't wasted so much time and money and blood over here.
Also if Thomas Paine had been killed in New England he never would've gotten his hands on the French.
It is an interesting thought experience, but that is such a silly position. Sort of like saying that if Hitler had won WW2 there'd have been no 9/11.
I don't know what in particular you are referring to, but without a doubt the founding fathers were a bunch of douchebags, even the mostly cool ones.
There was a whole front of the war between natives and the colonists. Many native groups were very much on the side of fighting for England. Because England thought expanding west was a huge pain in the ass (not easily accessible by sea, and expensive) and wanted to set aside a good chunk of the continent for the natives in order to have peace with them (less expensive than protecting the frontiers).
i mean he's bad but my friend's brother in law and wife are much, much worse and I don't hold it against them because its a fucking game
/grumpy
Edit: I guess its because hes bad but hes 19 so he thinks he's god's gift to everything and refuses to accept criticism
French influence.
I stand corrected.
Indeed.
Also, would there have been an expansionist, imperial Japan in the early 1900s (including their siding with the allies in WW1) without the American Admiral Perry?
it is kind of hard work to whip the egg white stiff by hand
especially since I don't have powdered sugar and use regular
Indeed, a very interesting thought experiment.
This is sort of the historical counterfactual equivalent of finding the butterfly that started the typhoon.
My high school was named after him! And this is a great local beer
I can't see how it could be true. The powder is the cheese, tomato and seasoning that gives the chip their taste. Otherwise they're just corn chips. Seriously, lick all the powder off a chip, then eat a chip. It doesn't taste like a Dorito, it just tastes like corn.
Perhaps I worded it poorly but there is Behavioral addiction and Chemical Dependency.
I mean if you want to get super literal you could say we're all just bags of chemicals and everything is a chemical response you can go that route
But here in the real world where we don't smoke weed all day and consider the atoms of our left nutsack, there is a difference. The two can intersect but they can be wholly independent.
The further back in history you go the more a single thread can unravel the whole damn quilt.
by modern standards i suppose, yes. but i dont think that's a bad thing. society is supposed to progress, and all that.
i already know about how hypocritical and fucked up the beginning of the US was. I took american history from the stereotypical angry first year associate professor who's ready to open some minds.
i just want my ac games to be some jumpy stabby swordfighty with some sweet action scenes, cryptic messages and mysteries, and a huge dose of conspiracy. dont preach to me.
(it has been a great game so far other than that little speed bump, i'll add. i'm disappointed that AC4 is going with a new character instead of expanding this one like they did with Ezio. We need one set in like the war of 1812 or whatever!)
i think your clarification was enough.
but to take the edge off of your post. a lot of people say that the different types of addictions have varying levels of (for lack of a better word) difficulty.
chemical dependency = hard mode
behavioral addiction = ez mode
which is obviously not true but that sort of rhetoric gets tossed around.
So seems like people can get addicted to pretty much everything.
I have not forgotten that you are.
So you know. Feel that
and I cannot lie
I thought that the opposite was true.
I think they actually could make em where the shit was baked into the corn chip but then was like "nahhhhh lets leave them powdery because we're assholes"
Since the French Revolution made Thomas Paine rethink that whole "God put me here to free mankind" bullshit, I imagine that a bloodier end in the US would've stopped that right up. It probably would have been a period of civil unrest, but I doubt it would have been the kind of horror that history saw.
Alternate history is kind of fun.
nope, Shingles is caused by the dormant chicken pox virus in your system leftover after having the disease.
Vaccination against chicken pox helps (though you need boosters for that eventually) and there is another vaccination against shingles. Even when the chicken pox vaccine isn't 100% effective it results in milder illness and so less chance of Shingles later in life.
Oh look guys, I killed Hitler.
Oh look suddenly western europe is a nuclear wasteland
What the fuck happened there guys?
Oh wait you're all dead.
POOORRRRRR QUEEEEEEEEE
amiiii chaaaaan (*°∀°)=3
also I wasn't being super serial I just wanted to make a hippie joke, it's more of a ritual than anything.
Timothy says something to me, I respond and add a dirty hippie joke.
