unconsequential

All of this from a steel plant’s smoke stack radioactive plume, from the melting down of medical equipment? …I’m still suspicious of the containers themselves. But, that’s just me.

Almost like it’s a bad idea to come out and mass threaten the livelihoods of employees you need. Weird.

And this is the exact reason nothing will change. We’re whipped and the world sees it.

Burial, a body of running water or burning appear to be the proper ways of disposal of a damaged or old Quran.

Theodora convincing her husband not to flee the Nika Riots of 532 AD. She successfully rewrote Christianity and global history forever (for better or for worse.)

I don’t know the specific battle per se, but the conquering of the Iberian peninsula and founding of Al-Andaluz and the resulting age of enlightened that pulled Europe from the Dark Ages. Ie. When Islam saved Europe from herself.

Also, Fredrick II “failed crusade” and his friendship and mutual love of falconry with Al-Kamil. Not a battle but just a specific historical nerd who loved falcons and diplomacy who probably saved countless lives in his time because “birds”.

These are my Eurocentric answers, not specific battles per se but definitely pivots in history imo that rewrote Europe and its ability to be a future global player.

I mean you’re not wrong. It’d be great to live in a perfect world. This method has worked great for leftists and liberals alike in winning friends.

Perhaps because I’ve walked the line between workers rights and blue collar backgrounds I have a little more empathy for meeting people where they’re at then demanding they adhere to academic standard. I’ve never found arrogance, perceived or real, to be a very helpful tool in organizing or building community. Flies and honey and all that jazz.

There are plenty of well educated trans and homo phobes out there. Making it about education level sounds classist/elitist and alienating to the many well meaning intelligent people who didn’t have the opportunity to reach levels of higher education.

There are plenty of racist, misogynistic, and bigoted “educated” people.

You don’t need a university classroom to teach you about gender or sex or being a decent human being. All of this information is readily available to the public, in fact, if it takes a Masters or PhD to understand what is yes- in fact basic biology and gender theory, then you’re doing something wrong. And by basic I mean, human biological sex can also be complex and gender is a social construct. It’s an afternoon course not six plus fucking years of schooling.

Yes, oversimplification is weaponized but framing like this can come off as insulting and makes it sound more complex than it needs to be.

Ah yes, Wisconsin, the State where alcoholics judge alcoholics for not being “good” at being alcoholics…

I feel like the Mississippi adjacent states shouldn’t be considered landlocked (and probably the Missouri River ones too). Also Idaho, Montana, North Dakota etc need to go. As well as NM and AZ.

I disagree with other commenters. This does feel wild to read out loud. Maybe I’m just old but “backpack laser drones” sounds like a joke to me.

That we know of

You can actually do this which is the wild part about memory and cognition. It’s basically what a lot of therapy practices are.
