How do they have the energy with the horrible famine they were experiencing?

find it fascinating that (i think you alluded to this) Roman society's usage of slaves was quite different, and that in a study of both, the consensus seems to be that it was actually an economic net negative to have slaves in that way.

(Sorry to not respond till now. Real life plumbing emergency)

I guess to me, the human sacrifice, infant slaughter, tortures, etc are just too horrific to comprehend, as compared to the monstrous nature of slavery here, that at least SOMETIMES ended in freedom or lifetime servitude, rather than death. But regardless, definitely a lose lose scenario. And I do

... It wasn't. At all. Aztec were by any metric imaginable worse than the Antebellum South. This is a weird hill to fight for. Just say "Slavery as practiced by the US was horrific and should be despised accordingly" and everyone will agree. But to say "And its worse than Aztecs"? No comparison.

Even extra reason that this is a dumb idea by MS politicians. It doesn't work anyway. Ha. Typical.

This is weird. I'm in Hattiesburg and I'm using the app to post this right now. I do know we get AT&T routing us through TX because we get TX ads on the streaming apps so I guess that's why?

That's an odd way to avoid an answer.

... You believe a 9 month old f'd around? A toddler learning his colors was committing apartheid and genocide? Or the 80 year old Israeli man who was fighting for Palestinians rights was the one that f'd around? Which of these three were you referring to?

I would feel so weird with you in a men's restroom.

Then why did Hamas ask for people not on this list to be returned in exchange for 100% innocent Israeli hostages? If there's over 3k innocents, they should be first? Instead their list included soldiers and convicted murderers. Clearly they make no priority of these people you say are innocent.

Beautifully done. Can’t wait

For my first post here, I'd like to say that the new Superman trailer made me very happy. Bright, hopeful, a child praying for help, another receiving it without asking, John Williams inspired score... Man I hope it's as great as it deserves.

It was really well done.

Why does your assumption matter in any way whatsoever? Why does assuming someone's Asian change your life or have any impact on your life day to day? This is fascinating. If someone eats a salad, and you assume they're vegan, how does that affect you?

If they refuse to convict for that reason, that's a violation of their oath they swear. Obviously up to them if they choose to ignore their promise.

Didn't you once tell me that you had a very strong stance on Xbox vs Playstation discourse, as well as dogs vs cats as which is the better pet?

There was a Latino man who helped him hold down Jordan Neely and a black woman who called 911 for help. Only Penny was charged. In this case, this really is the opposite of white privilege.

That's statistically not right on any level. Give any metric whatsoever you've devised to determine that?
