Prometheus was chained in the mountains of Georgia, the country…

Girls go to HD 189733b to get a degree, boys go to Kepler 11b to get drunk on Hennessy?

It already is an option in certain states in the US and I think parts of Europe.

Close. He died on 4/30, he was born on 4/20. But there were many deaths at Columbine High School on 4/20/1999.

Problem drinking and alcoholism aren’t the same though. 9 out of 10 excessive drinkers aren’t alcohol dependent. So yeah, while many people who at some point have a problem with drinking can learn to moderate without future issues, I don’t know if most of them would fall into the alcohol dependency category.

When I replied, you didn’t have all of that info in there. Good for you though, if it works then great!

Yeah I’m going to have to agree. I’m an alcoholic myself and this is a problematic way of living with it. Moderation seldom works for alcoholics as it is and by putting your choice to drink on someone else’s offerings seems to just be a way to escape any blame should it end in full relapse.

Everybody’s journey is different though so I’m not going to judge. But at no point was I able to stop drinking until I straight stopped drinking. As they say “one drink is too much and a hundred isn’t enough.”

My high school offered US History, Religion History, World History, European History and 20th Century History. US Govt and Economics, Anthropology and Film History were also taught by the same dept and the credits went towards social studies requirements.

Kissinger didn’t give a shit about the Jewish people, or people at all, even after seeing first hand the horrors of the Holocaust. Kissinger backed the genocide of Bengali Hindus, personally approved bombings in Cambodia, directly influenced the reign of terror that would murder thousands of Chileans, and told Nixon that the gassing of Soviet Jews wasn’t America’s concern. He called US jews who called for action against the Soviets “self serving bastards” and completely ignored his own heritage when visiting his home town in Germany.

Amazing that you would claim him when he wouldn’t claim you.

Scanning your own ID probably won’t be a thing since it won’t be able to determine whether the ID belongs to you or not.

Reality is covid changed the way they did it, that and many stores closing on Thanksgiving. Then they realized they could still make a similar amount of money with less risk to people and property. And with digital retail becoming more popular they’ll lose less product to theft and damages if you ship from a warehouse or have a personal shopper get it for you and bring it to your car instead of going into an overcrowded store.

Employees are less stressed, everyone is safer, and sales numbers are the same or better.

There’s no state that allows recreational purchase under 21. Vapes are considered a tobacco product regardless of nicotine content and also require you to be 21.

Good catch, I didn’t even notice the percentages. I did look at the date but of course the meal was purchased on the one day this month where that’s not helpful

Let’s see… dollar sign? Well that cuts out a lot of the world. Written in English, so that leaves about 3 countries. Australia doesn’t have a tipping culture the same way we do in North America so that leaves either Canada or the US, in which case you can replace state with province and cover your bases.

This doesn’t account for the work they had to do at home. They had their own food to harvest, animals to tend to, clothes to make and the materials to make those clothes didn’t fall out of the sky. They had to chop firewood, mend the home, cook the food from scratch. Their mandatory holidays weren’t spent pursuing a hobby, traveling, playing games or consuming entertainment. Those days off just meant they could do all the work they needed to do at home instead of doing all the church’s work on top of their own.

It’s the 10th amendment. All other 9 amendments and many thereafter are in relation to human rights.

And states rights and human rights can actually go hand in hand, as seen by state legislatures that have passed assisted suicide, same-sex marriage, and legal cannabis laws. It has also been used to ensure electors cast their vote for the nominee or candidate who received the most votes from the people.

Unfortunately it’s also been co-opted as a racist, misogynist dog whistle.

So originally anything west of the Appalachian mountains was called the west. Then as they explored more of the land and gained territories the line that defined the west moved to the Mississippi, making the territories between the Appalchians and Mississippi the Midwest.

Now the regions are split based on census data, and there are huge swaths of land in the West and Midwest that are sparsely populated so they are larger regions in size.

It makes sense if you actually look into it and take a 5 minute google search to learn about it.

Pretty sure they’re implying that the region west of the 13 colonies was called the Midwest, not that Ohio was considered the Midwest because it was one of the original colonies…

Having access to research resources in your pocket can be a good thing for in class assignments. I haven’t been in school for 10 years, but given the right curriculum and teachers, cell phone use in classrooms can be beneficial. My history classes were less about memorizing dates and more about understanding how historical events impacted the world and led to other events, like the direct line that can be drawn between WWII, the cold War, and modern conflicts.

But you need proper oversight and instruction to ensure it’s relevant use.

Man I hope you stretched before those mental gymnastics, wouldn’t want you to pull your victim complex muscle.
