Of course, he's rich, and everyone knows the only times rich people get jailed is if they killed someone or are a pedophile. 8 hours ago, Sooks said: Wow, the golden deer actually get some good designs!

Acacia Sgt Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Well, I mean beyond the whole debacle with the Aztecs. The Tlaxcala essentially were colonizing as well, helping or founding on their own settlements as far north as Texas and New Mexico. I think there's an article about also existing evidence they went as far south as northern Peru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interdimensional Observer Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 *Sees plenty of political discussions* Find me an era where there wasn't any political unfreedom, suffering, and fears society and civilization were doomed in some part of the world, nay among all sections of any supposedly "free" and "flourishing" society.

WHY CAN'T OVERCOME THE ROCKY PATH DROWN THIS OUT!?!?!?! 1 hour ago, Armagon said: Idk the French had other ideas. As a factoid, the French still allowed Louis XVI to have a sumptuous last supper. Pan-fried chicken, pastries, boiled beef, and turnip puree; washed down with red wine and a glass of Malaga (a very sweet fortified white wine from Malaga, Spain -"fortified" means spirits, usually brandy (which itself is distilled from wine), have been added to strengthen the wine's alcohol content) with dessert. All monarchs were expected to have lavish dinners with leftovers, showing off how their power and great wealth gave them the capacity to waste food which contemporary commoners could not possibly comprehend. Nonetheless, Louis XVI seems to have had quite the appetite among kings. And it's equally as stunning if not more so that the rabid radicals who would later that year start the Reign of Terror, would grant Louis XVI even one nicety before executing him. -Although of the 721 members of the legislature that voted on Louis XVI's fate, only 361 voted in favor of the death penalty, it came down to 1 vote. Although, knowing the direction Viva La France! would take, I'm sure the radicals would've done everything possible until something stuck if the vote had failed to provide the "legal" grounds for execution. 11 minutes ago, Newtype06 said: Who isn't?

It is a delicate balance to be found that we must realize that we live much better lives than our ancestors while also realizing that we have many problems to fix ourselves. Before making a major decision, many native tribes in the Americas would think of the next 7 generations and how it would effect them before making the choice. I feel we should bring that back.

I can certainly bork things up, but this concert's a lot lighter than the last one we did, at least for me- In the previous concert, three of our five pieces had at least one really major oboe solo, whereas I've got... Two this time? I think? One of 'em is really easy too. Still gonna be pretty stressful, but at least entire pieces aren't hinging on my performance this time.

Ah, the weird place where "the "progressive" becomes attractive"? I can't say I haven't partaken of it to some extent. I'm no expert, so I can't say whether it's wrong or not. However, if you're drooling from any orifice whenever you look at a person who positively breaks gender/beauty stereotypes🥵, then I advise reining it in thirsty boy. Slap yourself in the head or a punch elsewhere and remember- they're their own human being before they're your sex object. Real or fictional, keep that in mind and respect them as a person, don't let your lust for their unconventional traits overwhelm your behaviors towards them. Does this sound right to you? Attraction is okay, but don't let attraction override all else? True romantic attraction, which should be to say a selfless attraction, requires that one consider the thoughts and feelings of the other person anyhow. 1 hour ago, Benice said: ...Is it wrong to enjoy objectified people in art Depends who you ask. The modern argument between "It's just a fantasy!" and "Fiction has an impact on reality!" is going to last until the death of the universe. The question to ask yourself, and maybe ask others about yourself for second opinions- "Am I objectifying IRL people?" If you are, stop. Obviously. And, then ask yourself if fiction is to blame. If you think it might be, then you could try cutting out the fiction, if you don't believe you can fully -consciously and unconsciously- separate fantasy from reality. If enough people (and the right people, obviously a white guy wouldn't get a good answer to the question "Am I at all racist?" if they asked only white people) tell you that you aren't objectifying, well that is good! -Though never rest on your laurels and always leave open the possibility to reexamining yourself later. Nothing says you can't develop bad tendencies later in life. -Or at least I think this would help. Again, I'm no trained professional in matters of gender, sex, sexuality, relationships, the interplay of these things and society at large. Seek out other opinions. 1 hour ago, Benice said: or announce that I am degenerate? I wouldn't advise shouting that in public. Unless you're at something like the San Francisco Folsom Street Fair- a famed outdoor celebration of BDSM and leather. -Make sure your family, friends and coworkers don't find out you're there though. Take a selfie somewhere more respectable in San Fran first- Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Chinatown, to name three places. Announcing that you're degenerate in this topic? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Did you get anime amnesia and forget 25-50% of all my posts here? Behold... Spoiler This is the kind of stuff I was looking at earlier this week! And I was LOVING 😍 the pictures I can't show you!🤣 You are NOT alone. Not in this fun-loving hellhole!😛 Degeneracy is fine as long as it's between consenting rational adults and doesn't spill over and negatively affect your life and relationships outside of the bedroom or bathroom or classroom or office wherever you think it/do it. -Or at least that's what I tell myself.😆 Edited May 28, 2022 by Interdimensional Observer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
