Four Dead in Ohio was over half a century ago. No one was ever punished. Your faith in the national guard is confusing.

They expected no one to resist. Just like no one ever resists the police who murder Americans with impunity.
And honestly, Americans will fall in line before too long. A culture obsessed with worshipping police and soldiers will never turn on their fat, pathetic little boys in uniform.

Part of the problem with learning languages is that no one would say anything one is taught to say. It's the only subject where the rudimentary elements are useless. But you have to use the tools to hand.

Isn't it fascinating how a concept can be framed differently across cultures - even when they speak the same language (well......sort of).
For real though I'm going to die from coffee.

Yiddish adikshan from Latin addicere - to assign.
German Sucht from Proto-Germanic *suhtiz - sickness. Also use a derivative of addicere.
Dutch, Afrikaans, Frisian (v/f)ersla(v/w)ing from Latin sclavus - slave, and a grammatical form that also exists in German, but they use a different word.

You could take a poo in a box, label it "Harry Potter Poo in a Box" and make a fortune.
People throw money at things they recognize from their childhood. It's why we have to have 43 Ghostbusters movies.

May I ask what general age range you're in?
I only ask because I was the target demographic when the game's first came out and I think either everyone had a game boy in their person for a solid year.

They're police.
And every time this happens, the protests last ten minutes and everyone just allows it to keep happening. And the same thing will happen again this time.
And the next, and the next, and the next. Americans are cowards.

Or you just remember playing them and assume that everyone should have the exact same experience that you had, which is the reason why Boomers are so insufferable.
