Northerners weren't simply more high minded than southerners concerning slavery - industrialization lessened their dependence on slaves to the point where they could abandon slavery without the economy crumbling.

Presumably this would happen in the south as they industrialized as well.

Here's what would happen if Canada joined the European Union in c/[email protected]

We grant you the rank of EU member, but you are not in Europe.

Edit: For those of you taking this seriously, it's just a play on a stupid star wars meme

I watched Arrival (2016), there was a lot more to it than I was expecting in c/[email protected]

I'm not sure how to spoiler tag so I'll be vague, but I think it was necessary to have her opt into that romance even though she knew there was a tragic ending to it.

Oh and the short story is very good, as is Ted Chiang's entire collection. I would definitely recommend reading them to any scifi fan.

It happens in the short story too.

As someone who came into the series at elden ring, I agree with you. I initially tried a mage and it felt quite a bit more difficult than sword and board.

The game felt like it was designed for physical weapons and shield, whereas with magic the difficulty was all over the place - easy time with one boss, nearly impossible on another. If you aim for a boss cheese build maybe magic is easier.

I've got a spicy take, but desperately want to get it off my chest in c/[email protected]

It really bothered me that they didn't even mention the doctor, what with seven of nine being there and the ai plotline. But after watching more of Picard, I'm glad they didn't and especially glad they mostly steered clear of ds9.

There is an episode later where Data defends the rights of a less-human-looking artificial life (the one with exocomps), though no courtroom scenes.

I think most star trek episodes can be torn apart pretty easily - I actually enjoy pointing out errors while I watch. But it's good drama and themes with fun characters in an optimistic future, which is still a rarity decades later.

They say “anyone can become president”, but this will be the first presidential election since 1970s, where there is no Bush, Clinton, or Biden on the ballot. in c/[email protected]

Also who says "anyone can become president"? Liars and the gullible, I guess

That explains it. in c/[email protected]

What's wrong with whacking it to sports illustrated? Who is being harmed?

What realistic tech do you think we'll have 10 years from now in 2034? in c/[email protected]
