bien trabajo

2019-07-31 06:20:04 UTC [Sparta #general]  

It went down after the great depression

2019-07-31 06:27:50 UTC [Sparta #general]  

A job fighting for your country is still a good job. And welfare payouts in the late 40s and 50s were not as high

2019-08-01 03:29:50 UTC [Sparta #history]  

What if he was using it as a pretense to get access to their large slave market there <:think_woke:378717098681171988>

2019-08-01 03:56:24 UTC [Sparta #history]  

I thought it was the Aztecs that had the water gardens

2019-08-01 04:15:47 UTC [Sparta #vidya-games]  

The announcers are the worst part

2019-08-02 23:01:47 UTC [Sparta #politics-free-for-all]  

Was Thatcher too emotional and manipulatable?

2019-08-02 23:11:40 UTC [Sparta #general]  

America is more of a chad nation than chad itself

2019-08-02 23:16:51 UTC [Sparta #general]  

America takes other people's things and makes them actually good, whether that be the lightbulb, food etc.

2019-08-02 23:17:58 UTC [Sparta #general]  

I'm talking about things we invented, not directly produced.

2019-08-02 23:18:24 UTC [Sparta #general]  

We also do charity better than anyone else

2019-08-02 23:20:17 UTC [Sparta #general]  

It depends on the region in the us though, the South still has a strong culture of honor

2019-08-02 23:26:06 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Some black people have culture, just look at New Orleans

2019-08-02 23:26:55 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Being a terrible city does not mean its without culture though

2019-08-02 23:35:58 UTC [Sparta #general]  

There is a reason that a lot of American culture would appear vacant without the media and consumerism, and that is because our culture is so widespread it dominates the media and consumerism of even other countries

2019-08-02 23:37:34 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Is Hollywood not american culture (I don't like hollywood as much as you but still)?

2019-08-02 23:41:02 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Its made in America, its an industry that was born in America, it contains many themes relevant to American history etc. I wouldn't say it's representative of all the cultures of all Americans, its more of a coastal californian influenced thing but its still a key part of American culture, especially of American culture as perceived by outsiders

2019-08-02 23:53:52 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Boxers btfo'd

2019-08-03 01:41:57 UTC [Sparta #breaking-news]  

3rd amendment is only for peacetime btw

2019-08-03 01:42:53 UTC [Sparta #bot-commands]  

!rank

2019-08-03 03:25:23 UTC [Sparta #general]  

If the we want immigrants, then they at the very least should 1.work and 2.respect the nation's laws. Illegal immigrants violate the 2nd so we don't want them

2019-08-03 03:25:43 UTC [Sparta #general]  

sad!

2019-08-03 20:38:17 UTC [Sparta #breaking-news]  

Veronica is the real villian

2019-08-03 22:07:30 UTC [Sparta #politics-free-for-all]  

Bring back the monarchy, its better that way

2019-08-03 22:08:17 UTC [Sparta #politics-free-for-all]  

Thanos snap the iranians

2019-08-03 22:09:12 UTC [Sparta #politics-free-for-all]  

can you imagine if we could get the muslim world like in the 1300s

2019-08-03 22:11:55 UTC [Sparta #politics-free-for-all]  

The saudis are only an example of Islamic radicalization, not the (only) cause. I think the actual cause has more to do with people adapting to a newfound urban lifestyle and needing to find a cultural foundation for it in fundamental islam

2019-08-03 22:15:03 UTC [Sparta #politics-free-for-all]  

The saudis made it a lot worse yeah, but I don't think its the whole story. People still had to be receptible to it. After all if you built a whole bunch of fundamentalist churches in Europe or the U.S. it would cause a great radicalization of most people, most people would just laugh at them

2019-08-03 22:19:17 UTC [Sparta #politics-free-for-all]  

But people don't accept things like that forever, people rebel against the system if they have a reason to (and sometimes not even that). There was something binding them to their religion that isn't present in modern day Western societies

2019-08-03 22:21:55 UTC [Sparta #politics-free-for-all]  

Yeah, but something kept starting making them believing that nonsense in the first place when things just started getting bad. There was a reason this irritation is starting now and not decades ago

2019-08-03 22:23:08 UTC [Sparta #politics-free-for-all]  

If we want to put the blame even further back, everything is Mohammed's fault

2019-08-03 22:23:16 UTC [Sparta #politics-free-for-all]  

<:think_woke:378717098681171988>

2019-08-03 22:23:42 UTC [Sparta #politics-free-for-all]  

Even further back and its Moses's fault

2019-08-03 22:24:19 UTC [Sparta #politics-free-for-all]  

It's the fault of whatever monkey decided to jump down from the tree

2019-08-03 23:44:21 UTC [Sparta #general]  

There is overlap between whites and Mexicans too

2019-08-04 04:59:08 UTC [Sparta #general]  

The people who blame guns for bad things that happen should be ideologically consistent and blame them for the good things that happen too. Every condemnation of guns over mass-shootings should be followed up by declarations of thanks for guns over how they killed Hitler. @GeorgyBoyo

2019-08-13 23:21:43 UTC [Sparta #breaking-news]  

I'm pretty sure CNN would do stupid stuff regardless of whether they needed to distract from something or not

2019-08-13 23:24:51 UTC [Sparta #breaking-news]  

That's nonsense, we live on a globe
its just hollow and full of aliens <:pepe_smug:560207654207750154>

2019-08-15 05:09:38 UTC [Sparta #general]  

I see

2019-08-16 00:15:25 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Single motherhood is a bigger indicator of crime than race or poverty

2019-08-16 23:18:44 UTC [Sparta #breaking-news]  

<:HonkHonk:566814473646768128>

2019-08-17 02:30:45 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Unions are just as guilty for lobbying and paying off politicians as corporations are

2019-08-17 20:58:30 UTC [Sparta #history]  

Where is this? Malta? @Ondsinet

2019-08-17 20:59:03 UTC [Sparta #history]  

Cool

2019-08-18 23:49:06 UTC [Sparta #history]  

A middle easterner could sell rope to an eskimo to make a net

2019-08-20 00:46:13 UTC [Sparta #twis]  

In response the proud boys should call themselves "the cure to cancer" so every time someone on the left attacks them they have to defend cancer<:makes_you_think:382980749780844554>

2019-08-22 21:52:29 UTC [Sparta #politics-free-for-all]  

@MountainMan burning plant matter creates ash which in turn creates fertile soil. The fire is pretty terrible for the ecosystem but it will grow back eventually. After all slash and burn agriculture has been going on in the rainforest for years

2019-08-25 20:38:49 UTC [Sparta #politics-free-for-all]  

That's the problem when polls use vague terms like this, since not everyone agrees on what the word "immigrants" really is, whether it includes illegal immigrants or not, whether it includes refugees or not etc.

2019-08-25 22:13:24 UTC [Sparta #twis]  

Europeans better hope the U.S. doesn't get socialized healthcare, the high prices for drugs is what is subsidizing massive amounts of R&D to the benefit of all (even Europeans)

2019-08-25 22:15:13 UTC [Sparta #twis]  

Yeah it does, since the govt is the one doing the bargaining and the govt. would take flak for having higher prices

2019-08-25 22:18:32 UTC [Sparta #twis]  

"Progress" for the American healthcare system would be seeing less federal govt. involvement with deregulation of drugs and insurance. This would see a dramatic cost reduction, while still seeing much of the R&D we have today

2019-08-25 22:22:56 UTC [Sparta #twis]  

Society can't hire/fire/directly oversee bureaucrats, Its up to someone in the govt. to do that. While society could always overthrow the govt, this is hard so won't be done often.

2019-08-27 00:02:21 UTC [Sparta #general]  

It isn't 80's or 80s , its '80s

2019-08-27 00:02:36 UTC [Sparta #general]  

They are both wrong

2019-08-27 00:05:52 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Worrying over where a ' goes is kinda autistic ngl

2019-08-27 20:46:33 UTC [Sparta #breaking-news]  

The security camera committed suicide too

2019-08-28 02:40:13 UTC [Sparta #general]  

But a truly all-knowing God could know all outcomes of all the choices you could make - and if God is beyond space and time it means he could also be beyond the law of causality (that effect comes after cause) and thus could know the outcome of your life before you make the choices in the same way a normal person would know after

2019-08-31 23:23:07 UTC [Sparta #politics-free-for-all]  

Corporations are built to provide a good or service in exchange for something else to make a profit. This may or may not be beneficial to the public good but at least they are a predictable. A government is beholden to many more interests than corporations and thus are less trustworthy even if they may serve the public better in some cases. This is why we should still have some govt. presence although it should be small and heavily watched

2019-08-31 23:25:07 UTC [Sparta #politics-free-for-all]  

I agree, but how would you choose a different decentralized law system? @Fitzydog

2019-08-31 23:26:37 UTC [Sparta #politics-free-for-all]  

Private police forces wouldn't be the problem, it would be differing law systems

2019-08-31 23:36:00 UTC [Sparta #politics-free-for-all]  

You don't need to root out corruption, just choose another company.

2019-08-31 23:38:50 UTC [Sparta #politics-free-for-all]  

It would be easier to start a private security company though than an internet infrastructure company. More competitors would be available so the chance that these companies form a corrupt oligopoly would be lower

2019-09-01 18:34:51 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Let's run guns to the Tibetans too

2019-09-01 18:42:28 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Give hong kong to Taiwan, its the best solution

2019-09-01 18:52:28 UTC [Sparta #general]  

China is an export economy, so why not just target export related infrastructure. You would do serious damage to China without having to commit massive war crimes

2019-09-01 18:54:11 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Its already controlled by commies so it can't get any worse

2019-09-01 18:55:15 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Its McArthur time ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Taking land from the most productive farms and then printing money to make up the difference <:high_iq:382980759012638731>

Put the americo-liberians back in charge of liberia

2019-09-01 19:07:16 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Africans need to give up tribalism before they can start being stable and profitable. They need to think more of the state and of the individual than of the tribe

2019-09-01 22:36:33 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Capitalism is better for agrarian shithole countries too, compared how many people died in the USSR for it to industrialize compared to how many died in the US for the same process to happen

2019-09-01 22:39:12 UTC [Sparta #general]  

The US went from a completely agrarian society to the largest industrialized economy (by far) in less than 200 years. Capitalism did it with much fewer deaths

2019-09-01 22:40:45 UTC [Sparta #general]  

The US was not industrialized from the start, 1776 was before industrialization took off in the U.S.

2019-09-01 22:41:43 UTC [Sparta #general]  

But the U.S. was just an agrarian colony of the U.K. for most of the 18th century, only there to export ag goods

2019-09-03 20:05:07 UTC [Sparta #breaking-news]  

The nation's of Europe should just organize free trade deals among themselves without the need of a massive transnational entity to do it for them

2019-09-03 20:08:40 UTC [Sparta #breaking-news]  

Honestly if the E.U. would reform itself, It should become similar to the United States in that the Parliament would be like the house of reps. and the council like the house of reps. The commission should be ended

2019-09-03 20:10:14 UTC [Sparta #breaking-news]  

I mean just in terms of legislative houses, not in terms of anything else

2019-09-03 20:10:51 UTC [Sparta #breaking-news]  

Obviously the E.U. will never have the same cohesion or sense of identity as the U.S.

2019-09-11 00:05:49 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Brown was terrible in his own way though, remember the rail he was building?

2019-09-11 00:22:28 UTC [Sparta #general]  

True

2019-09-13 19:52:01 UTC [Sparta #breaking-news]  

The "You've never heard of" line is used just to get clicks. Even the BBC uses clickbait

2019-09-14 22:16:50 UTC [Sparta #politics-free-for-all]  

Also it would only be a temporary fix unless you continued to pay down the debt which have an enormous cost

2019-09-14 22:17:42 UTC [Sparta #politics-free-for-all]  

Uncle Sam has got his own debt crisis to worry about as well

2019-09-15 17:39:17 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Pure gold is too soft though, it would have to be an alloy

2019-09-18 04:09:56 UTC [Sparta #politics-free-for-all]  

A small govt. with popular oversight and procedures to handle corruption and a constitution that guarantees economic liberty would be able to resist bribery by corporations/individuals

2019-09-18 04:23:22 UTC [Sparta #politics-free-for-all]  

If worker coops were more successful at satisfying the needs of the consumer and thus making a profit they would naturally dominate in a capitalist society. But they aren't because coops are less efficient at quickly and accurately serving the consumer

2019-09-20 23:06:21 UTC [Sparta #politics-free-for-all]  

I imagine the Iraqi Kurds are a lot more pro west

2019-09-20 23:59:58 UTC [Sparta #politics-free-for-all]  

I think having to pass a test on Civic knowledge before voting might be useful. Forces people to actually know what the elected official they are voting for has to do

2019-09-22 23:56:14 UTC [Sparta #general]  

States are necessary in a society where not everyone knows each other or can know each other. Law and the enforcement of it is needed to keep the peace lest conflict between individuals/families/organizations grows out of control

2019-09-24 13:47:44 UTC [Sparta #politics-free-for-all]  

Killing in the defense of your property/life is fully defensible.

2019-09-24 13:48:51 UTC [Sparta #politics-free-for-all]  

Yeah it's not necessary legal everywhere in the US, but it should be

2019-09-24 13:49:36 UTC [Sparta #politics-free-for-all]  

One of the big reasons we have the 2nd amendment is the defense of property and life

2019-09-29 19:57:07 UTC [Sparta #general]  

I wish hoi4 relied more on universal complex mechanics to drive history (like vic2) rather than just focus trees

2019-09-30 15:49:01 UTC [Sparta #politics-free-for-all]  

It's harder to clean up the mess with a machete

2019-10-03 02:07:58 UTC [Sparta #dank-memes]  

Cyclopia is pretty bad
