That's basis for why I believe we could possibly travel forward in time, the airplane analogy is really good, I pictured it as when we go to sleep, we wake up in the future. Technically, we are constantly moving towards the potential future, but always never reach it since it becomes the present.

Yes, unironically.

My problem is for talking about European colonialism, he fails to point out anything unique or particularly eye-catching about it. I suppose my problem reading the tweet doesn't give any new information since all I see is "__________: Is that yours? It's mine now." To me it just feels like a lazy meme template using genericity instead of specificity passed off as wisdom. I didn't learn anything new from the tweet about Europe and their colony making period of history.

"Is that yours? It' mine now." Is six words that can be acclaimed to any culture that did anything resembling conquering, be it another nation, or the tribe just past the river. That's the fault I find with Neil's tweet. Using this "meme" as a reason to put the blame for why humans do this on one period of history (note: recent history, which we can dissect with much more clarity and nuance than ancient history) from one culture group is erroneous. I'm not saying neil is saying this, in a vacuum he is correct, but across the broader records of history, ancient and modern, we shouldn't take this tweet as exclusive to one culture or group of cultures.

To quote a meme: "Year 2 of Two Weeks to flatten the curve"

I mean, I've seen a better photoshop of an unbullpupped aug. I personally think the hanguard with the rails is a little much.

Any reason you say that here specifically and not on the post about Elmo being banned from the wherever the conservative party holds their convention?

The Democrats usually lead in this regard. They are always willing to try something new when in comes to politics and assuring their political agendas and policies come to pass, where as the Republicans just play the game as it's dictated. It's just that what goes around comes around, and whatever perceivable gain/ advantage disappears into the other camp the next election cycle, once the people realize that you're a politician who lies, and you might as well give a go to the guy who says he won't do what they other guy has been doing for 2-6ish years give or take.

And if you wonder what I mean by that, this is what happens when two sides have no willingness to reach an agreement, and prefer to wait until they are majority power in whatever system they're a part of to force their position into law. I'm not picking on any particular side and saying that they started it, but way back in like 2008 when the Democratic Party of the United States had a majority they elected to officially change the way Justices were elected to the Supreme Court, where once you had to have consensus amongst all the elected officials, but changed it to majority rules once they were in power since they didn't want to compromise with the minority party at the time. fast forward to Trump getting to pick 3 or so Judges on the Court (ergo it biting them in the ass real hard) and they they started talking about how once they were in the majority, they were going to add seats to the court so they could fill the court with more Democrats than there were Republicans.

Threaten that if you catch him alone you will kill him, and when you spot him while he's going to put out a fire, chase after him, fling your bag at him, and try to take his gun. Open carry obviously has lawful precedent that you can legally murder or seriously harm someone if you happen to spot a firearm on their person.

Because their side is better than the enemy side. Reality is subjective to a degree, but in the end, someone's gotta be wrong, and how could it possibly be you?

One could posture "different" doesn't mean better.
