it’s considered common knowledge that you can’t
I’ve never heard that before. What I have heard several times is that text is not static, so if you read something, look away, and then read it again, it’ll say something different. That I can corroborate, along with the idea that this is how you realize you’re in a dream and induce lucid dreaming.
As does Steam and Epic and every other digital store ever created.
9·10 months agoReplaying old games that I have fond memories of. We’re in an incredible renaissance of classic games getting source ports or updates that bring them up to modern standards, and I’m loving it. Daggerfall, Blade of Darkness, Jagged Alliance 2, Morrowind, Jedi Knight, Caesar 3… I’m sure I’m forgetting
somemany. They let me forget the present and pretend that I’m back in simpler, happier times, at least for a little while.
Explain how it was a convenient excuse?
Roosevelt wanted to get involved but had no way to get the public to go along with it. The Japanese helped him out.
if the US could have used nuclear weapons right after the attack to prevent entering the war, regardless of their transportation method, they would’ve
And how exactly do you imagine the US could’ve used such weapons against Japan without transporting them to Japan?
The entire reason why the US entered the war was because of the attack.
No, that was a convenient excuse. Roosevelt must’ve thought Christmas had come early when he got the news.
Do you think if they did, they would’ve used them immediately to force a quick surrender instead of dragging out the war for years causing millions of deaths?
No, because B-29s didn’t exist yet either, and they couldn’t take off from aircraft carriers in any case. The US would’ve had to conquer its way across the Pacific to get within bomber range either way.
Wow, that’s extremely generous! Can I have Vane, please? I love games where you play a bird.
That’s less of a peaceful reform and more of a war crime.
Worse, we’re throwing piles of money at them.
I haven’t done any actual math in this respect, but I suspect this meme is still missing quite a lot of 9s after the decimal point.

It’s _/‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾\_ shaped. It’s not freestanding walls, the whole thing is an earthen mound with a flat top and its sides lined with bricks.
In defensive terms, no, not really. They had to build it like this because these aren’t really walls per se, it’s just brick lining on the outside of an earthen mound, and mounds are, well, mound-shaped. https://gomadnomad.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Bukharas-Ark-Palace.jpg
27·1 year agoReddit would implode instantly with only 2K moderators. According to this Reddit post, six years ago there were almost 75K moderators working in subreddits with more than 500 subscribers (i.e. this number only includes moderators who actually have to do some work because their subs are decently active). That number is certain to have grown since then.
1·1 year agoReddit has been around for 18 years, though. Surely that’s more than enough time to start turning a profit if the company is capable of it?
Truly a cutting-edge idea.
