You've clearly never seen what too much oxygen does to most biology then.

The funny thing about societal standards is that they are completely reliant upon the majority. The exceptions are never the rule. One person is never going to "f-up" a societal standard and you're nothing more than a moron for thinking you will. You deserve everything you get when you try that approach. Societal standards can only be changed gradually by determined effort without, and this is an important without, alienating the majority.

Not a great sentiment but no context is given either. Washington was a product of his time. Stumbled across this good paper which attempts to provide some light based on the society and culture of the time in which Washington was alive. https://chnm.gmu.edu/courses/henriques/hist615/gwslav.htm It doesn't seek to condemn or exonerate Washington but merely tries to provide some needed context.

It's actually amusing. My seasonal allergies were pretty bad but since I had covid they've practically disappeared.

Don't forget about the crazy uncle that kept replacing all our luggage with "new" and "cool" stuff.

Given that we can't do that at the moment the only way we're traveling anywhere is with outside help so my point still stands.

See this is what your squad mates and platoon mates are for. If you can't count on them to braid your hair how can you count on them to watch your back in a fire fight. They are your brothers and sisters.

There used to be a solid gold cap stone and the entire thing was plastered to make it smooth. Granted is was nothing that a few thieves and couple of millennia couldn't cure though.

Either I'm not remembering it correctly or I was oblivious but I don't remember GundamZ having much of that.

Unless of course they have exobiologists or exodoctors. Presumably any society that can travel the distances between the stars would have them.

I've met people of all generations that can't read a clock so it's not surprising that people aren't teaching others how to read a clock.

A dull axe is still very much lethal 1 comments

Both would regularly sharpen them and maintain them with an edge. In battle both would dull and both would still remain lethal. But if you think they wouldn't have preferred a sharp edge all the time your fooling yourself. The only guys that didn't care about the edge were maul users. Even maces generally had edges and they kept those as sharp and straight as they could.

Just another in the trend that stereotypes, in the worst possible manner, people based on their affiliations or actions. Even when their affiliations or actions don't actually mean anything or have any real connotations good or bad. Then they refuse to even talk about it and instead just they just yell and holler showing their own bigotry and ignorance. Can't blame the guy for just walking out. With those type of people the only thing you can do, and the most effective, is just ignore them.

According to Urban Dictionary "A word used when you agree with something; or when you want to recognize someone for being themselves, i.e. courageous and unique or not caring what others think. Especially common in online political slang." Though I've never heard or read it being used that way. In fact I've never seen it used with a positive connotation.

The punt gun was basically a shot gun. They would scare the ducks into the air and then fire. They could take out entire flocks up to around 200 ducks in one shot.

I do that for books I know are going to be good and I'm reading them for the first time. That way the thrill of the story comes back every time I listen to the song.
