Is there a difference in reaction bw military people and non profit nuke people?

p1huycke.bsky.social @p1huycke.bsky.social · 12h

I think this is what the kids call a "skill issue"

I WISH I still had my PowerPoint presentation from my government paid for "go to Quebec and 'learn French' summer with my "Carré de dames"slide (a show only knew about from Betty White's turn in Hot in Cleveland)

How are you defining money though? Like I assumed you meant like modern fiat currency etc. not like gold coins or whatever

Ironic given that the entire British Austen of government was premised on NOT having a large standing army (because they had to fund the Navy)

jim0novak.bsky.social @jim0novak.bsky.social · 18h

The U.S. Constitution's Army Clause (Article I, Section 8) requires that congressional appropriations to raise and support armies must be for a term no longer than two years.

They feared standing armies.

The Founders were more radical anti-fascists than common knowledge would expect.

I like this.
I like this very much.

And last but definitely not least, it's Mr Vietnam who has managed to combine the traditional and beautiful look with wearing a tree on his back, which is something that I very much appreciate (especially in a year with a very low level of insanely large looks)

Mr Brazil starts us off inoffensively enough with a fairly boring suit but my goodness he's selling it with that walk. He does get a bonus point for the suit clearly fitting though, because as you will see that is not always a given...

I think she's the most effortless (I'm sure not actually effortless) style icon I can think of in Hollywood?
Like none of her outfits feel unattainable to a normal person, but they just always feel *elevated* somehow?
Like a chef putting a tiny twist on French toast or scrambled eggs.

Wait, when are you placing the invention of money (do you mean credit/fiat?) in your framework???
1400?

Anyways, everybody go read BOSS by Mike Royko (AKA The Power Broker in 200 pages instead of 1000)

A shit ton of people are very specifically angry at Bush, actually!

Liv Sexy NJ @livsexynj.blacksky.app · 21h

No one is telling Bush to use his voice and march. No one is telling Cheney to use his voice and march. No one is telling Clinton to use his voice and march. No one is telling Gore to use his voice and march. No one is telling Pence to use his voice and march.

Nobody talks about MLK Jr. marching in Chicago!

p1huycke.bsky.social @p1huycke.bsky.social · 18h

Or Chicago, Illinois

p1huycke.bsky.social @p1huycke.bsky.social · 18h

I mean, MLK's march to desegregate Chicago housing was (policy wise) a complete failure!
Despite having almost identical optics to marches in the south!

Malcolm X and MLK Jr. were both members of the greatest generation (maybe TECHICALLY not MLK Jr.)

Isn't United often times effectively just a mix of all the moderate denominations in an area merging when attendance declines or some other sort of money issue?

p1huycke.bsky.social @p1huycke.bsky.social · 1d

So basically political persuasion is impossible

(Could be Canadian bias i guess lol)

p1huycke.bsky.social @p1huycke.bsky.social · 1d

Could also be effectively United, right?

Like, I'm not blaming Obama for not having enough votes to pass M4A, like I understand how vote counts etc. work

I mean, disagreeing on strategy/ tactics is normal?
