Wow, this is incredibly disappointing. Whoever wrote this has clearly never received papers that used AI. Using it as a way to start a Bib? NO. You realize that AI makes up sources, right? That also does not teach students how to research, which is part of the point of being an historian.

The confederates are so funny. The rest of us are out here being normal, and they’re like β€œremember that time we came in second place in a war?”

Maybe this is an unpopular take, but if you stole Talia's swords I hope their ancient curse brings about the downfall of your kingdom and house in an ironic way

Everyone should know when you post quotes from people like Nick Fuentes and say, β€œI didn’t have agreeing with Nick on my bingo card,” your posts β€” if you have a large account β€” are shared in Neo-Nazi circles as a sign that their movement is growing.

Please don’t give Neo-Nazis a propaganda victory.

it’s really not fair to all of us that someone like hulk hogan can endorse a demonic entity and usher in the end of days and then just die to escape the world he helped mold

Is this the same as Developer Beta 4? Switching to Public Beta says I’m still up to date?

Jokes apart, Hulk Hogan was a guy I thought was really cool when I was a kid and I'm genuinely sorry to hear of his death, chiefly that I was not there to witness it for myself.

Hulk Hogan ratted out other wrestlers attempting to unionize to save his own position and paycheck above anyone else's & gladly accepted funding from Peter Thiel for his Gawker court case that paved frequently abused legal precedents for the rich to shut down any media outlets that embarrass them.

I was never into pro wrestling and my only real experience with Hulk Hogan growing up was seeing him play the shitheel Thunderlips in Rocky III … so when he turned out to be like that in real life I wasn’t surprised

Based on what I have read and heard so far, the agreement made by Cloud City is an excellent template. First, it keeps the Empire out of here forever. Second, we got our own problems. Third, quibbling aside, I do not expect the terms of the deal to change. This may be the best day we’ve had all year

Haven’t seen one sad reaction to Hulk Hogan dying. Good. I hope everyone throws something nice on the grill to celebrate.

placating & appeasing the GOP at every opportunity hasn't worked, maybe try something else?
