welcome to the Xethnostate, citizen
Horay hopefully no religious fanatics who swear fealty to a guy in a golden chair don’t kill me
That be unfortunate
No, we have Weez
Is that heresy I here?
Xethnostate
You're not in the Xethnostate.
So I’ve been lied to
You do know the difference between jury rigging and jury tampering, right?
It's pretty massive.
Ik
One is a bumblefuck means of fixing something with whatever is on hand the other is rigging a legal court
Juryrigging is a janky as fuck repair job
It’s taking your car to cousin Boris and he use vodka to clean engine
The original term was Jerry rigging, and was a slur against German soldiers
Jury rigging is a bit older than that, mate.
As a term for janky repairs it's not
Juryrigging picked up the same use as Jerry rigging because, say Jerry with a southern drawl
As a term for repairs with what's on hand it dates back to at least the late 1700s
If anyone's wondering, ubermensch started this with a deleted message about trusting someone who rigs juries.
How different would China be right now if the Kuomintang won the Chinese Civil War?
Not much I suspect
Tho I’d prefer a nationalist win over a communist one
Same
If i was the leader of my own country,i'd recognize Taiwan over the PRC and tell Beijing to go fuck themselves
The Us didn’t recognize the communist government until 1979
Was it a mistake for Nixon to visit the PRC in 1971?
Not really considering be a bit more politically inconvenient to not recognize the PRC compared to like some small power
Like Palestine
So Robert Mugabe is dead
I ain’t shedding tears
Same
Thank God Mugabe is dead
Make Rhodesia Great Again
Was he still in power before he died?
No,i think he stepped down two years ago
Meh not enough time to erode the memory of the impact he had
True
Then there was Joseph Mobutu
