If MREs are good enough for our troops, why not for welfare? What if EBT was replaced with monthly MRE deliveries, 8 cases per person. No misuse. No luxury. Just food. Needs met. Problem solved!

It’s the 35th anniversary of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Kevin Costner was the star, but Alan Rickman ran away with the movie. He turned the Sheriff down twice, then demanded full creative control. Once he got it, he went all-in and made a top-tier ’90s villain. Legend.

It's Kriegsspiel, by the way. Kriegspiel is a chess variant. Kriegsspiel. If we're being pedantic about rules and ruling, let's at least get the first step correct.

I can't fucking believe I'm advocating for a colony drop.

The absolute chad Solo. He immediately realises it’s Vader and does not hesitate for one second.

>Plot centers entirely around fighting extreme government taxation and overreach >The Sheriff of Nottingham literally collects taxes from the church poor box >Friar Tuck gets so fed up with the state disrespecting the Church that he physically throws hands with the Sheriff >Casts the Crusades in a positive light >Male protagonist who risks his life for his people >Unapologetically traditional romance with Maid Marian without any modern subversion >Climax is literally a raid to break political prisoners out of a corrupt jail >Story resolves when the rightful, divinely-appointed monarch returns from the Holy Land to crush the corrupt politicians >Ends with a beautiful church wedding and a happily ever after We need to make Kid's stories based again

The Romans sure had a funny way of negotiating with the Carthagenians

TTRPGs are unique in that the rules are secondary to the participants' sense of flow. The game's core mechanism - the GM - has the ability to alter anything within the game environment at any time. Good GMs use this to match the game more precisely to the group's goals.

You know the sad part about Disclosure Day is “How would finding proof of alien life affect Christians’ view on their religion” is a rich and fascinating premise.

Visitors to Canada often get the impression that it has a relatively advanced modern economy, but outside of a few major cities, most of the population continues to engage in subsistence farming in exploitative arrangements with powerful landowners that effectively amount to modern serfdom. Canadians of course will vehemently deny this; in fact, those who live in the cities are often completely unaware of this fact and simply take their government’s propaganda at face value

>wow this song fucking rips this band must be amazing!!! >check out the rest of their discography >none of the rest of their songs sound like that one and are actually mostly quite bad

i wish half of u retards knew what socialism/communism actually is

You do realize if intelligent aliens exist, religion, including Christianity is null and void right? That would send the right wing “this is a Christian nation” in to an existential identity crisis more than atheist liberals.

I think its very disingenuous to not understand both sides of the Ethan Klein vs iDubbbz lawsuit. Ethan is absolutely breaking the internet "golden rule" by moving this into IRL action. This does set a bad precedent among creators who beef with each other going forward, especially when Ian didn't even create the disturbing claim - just rebroadcasted it in the most bad faith way possible. Its not kosher (pun may or may not be intended) to be the guy who makes a mountain out of a molehill. However, I do understand that this has gone beyond just internet drama for Ethan - its reached inside his home. If I were in his shoes I'd think "what kind of man, husband, or father would I be if I didn't do everything in my power to protect my family?" Especially when the person amplifying the message has been in your home and met your family as a former friend. Again, choosing a side is reasonable. You're probably inclined one way or the other depending on your own experiences, but completely invalidating the opposing sentiment is clearly disingenuous and gives off big "team sports". Im personally against the lawsuit, I dont think it shouldve gone beyond a C&D, but I can understand where Ethan is coming from - even if it does break the golden rule.

Good morning, Kings and Queens! I'm pretty sure the Sharks were right there with the Jade Falcons until they got boofed on Tukayyid.

The German patriot Arminius once met his brother Flavus in northern Germany. The two men stood literally on opposite sides of a riverbank. Flavus had accepted a position serving in the Roman army, and had received a facial scar. Arminius asked him what reward he had received for this disfigurement. Flavus mentioned his increased pay and some military gifts, such as a torque and a crown. Arminius mocked these rewards, calling them "trivial compensation for slavery." In every nation, every tribe, and every group, quislings and lackeys can always be found who will sell out their brothers to curry favor with a foreign power.

What I like about feudalism is that it just happened. Every other system had some jackoff sit around and imagine it like Star Wars and make blowhard arguments. There wasn’t any international conferences There’s no book like “Towards a Society without bandits killing me”
