If there's one good thing about Maga it's that it clearly illuminated what a majority of these "Christians" actually are.

There are some of us that don't do that. But yeah, even as an adherent, I see and feel what you mean.

Nah, that's not a plot hole. That's just a seed for the Act 3 twist we're due in about 2 years. When the Vatican incorporates and invades Yugoslavia.

For real. I am no catholic or god worshipper but i feel like i am living a more religious life then them because I recognize the fiction of Jesus life for the vast inspirational philophies it contains and actually try to incorporate some of it in my life.

When that one aired I assumed they were going to genre-shift into dark comedy or slapstick, but they... really, really didn't.

Pepsi has also made huge profits in Russia since the west started sanctions.

It’s like the way they left Deadwood. They set it up for a righteous proper class war and then suddenly the series was cancelled.

Inclement weather, just FYI. Although, your spelling also makes a lot of sense in the current times...

Not bashing your point though, that's a good one.

Lots of those. Characters just falling out of the narrative left and right.

Lol - found my fellow Aussie!

The end of WW2 was a complex political issue, and the atomic bombs were not the 'press here, end war' that most of us believe.

The Japanese we're holding out hope (stupidly) that the Soviet Union would negotiate a conditional surrender with the united States as the end of the imperial system was unacceptable to them. The US had floated that if there was an unconditional surrender, that the imperial system would stay intact, but wanted it to seem like a US condition, not a Japanese one, because that would be a conditional surrender.

The Soviets always intended to invade, but were held by a nonaggression pact they made with the Japanese. The US pressured the Soviets very hard to violate this and invade Manchuria.

There was literally a Japanese war cabinet convened already when news of Nagasaki reached them. We have actual primary source for their reactions. They did not care.

Only once the second bomb dropped and Manchuria was invaded did some of the cabinet manage to convince the emporer to intervene which was extremely rare.

IIRC, they're too big to have formed in one of the ways we know and then continuously lost matter at the the rate they should have.

So one or more of the assumptions about how they could have formed or how they lost matter over time is wrong, right?

What

Well, the British were able to use drugs to start a war on China once. All in the name of cheap tea.

I thought it was Ted Cruz

Folks can't read past the headline. Truly this site has arrived.

There’s a saying in German that my grandmother sometimes used, it roughly translates to “The person is good but the people are bad” (Der Mensch ist gut, aber die Leut sind schlecht).
