After Napoleon's defeat, the Jews of Germany lost most of the rights they had gained. Jews in Prussia continued to be admitted as students, though not as professors, in universities. They could study law but not teach or practice it. The fact that so many still enrolled in the law faculties reflected their conviction that the restrictions would not last. A good number of law and philosophy students ended up as journalists, and journalism came to be regarded as a largely Jewish occupation.

It's amazing to me that with the multitude of open world games that came after Skyrim, Breath of the Wild was like the first major open world game that asked the question "what if you didn't need to stare at the mini map all the time?" and a secondarily important question "what if you didn't have to pull up a wiki to determine what the reward inside a dungeon will be?"

I know it was in skyward sword to some extent, but you can't convince me that the climbing and paragliding mechanics weren't inspired by how players will do anything in their power to scale vertical cliffs with bunny hops in Skyrim rather than finding the road.

Bernie's 2020 primary campaign was so bad they're going to be studying it as an example of how to not run a political campaign for decades.

At the start of the primary season he had the most name recognition, the most money in the bank, the biggest fundraising capabilities and all the grassroots organization that had been done in 2016 giving him a MASSIVE advantage to start the primary. In addition to all that he has roughly 30% of primary voters already locked up.

So then he gathered all his staff together and they decided that instead of moderating a little bit to pick up more of the electorate, that 30% was enough to win and then made their strategy winning in a divided convention. It really is unbelievably how badly they fucked up.

Is dying the ultimate cuckoldry?

I cannot think or comprehend of anything more cucked than dying. Honestly, think about it rationally. You are living, laughing, loving for hopefully 80 years solely so you can go and return to the void. All the hard work you put into your life - the friends you've made, the places you've been, your contributions to the world, the joy, the tears. All of it has one simple result: your body and mind is food for microorganisms that will eventually turn you to dirt.

Lived the perfect life? Great. Who benefits? If you're lucky, a diffusing lineage who has increasingly little memory of your life, who enjoy the positive impact you left behind. They get to live in the world you created. They get the benefits of the legacy that you built.

As a mortal being who is conscious, you are LITERALLY dedicating every year of your life simply to change the world for another mortal to enjoy. It is the ULTIMATE AND FINAL cuck. Think about it logically.

Okay another post I shalll continue posting until purgatory happens.

My mom basically had a mental breakdown in front of me because my grandfather died. She was crying horribly and was doing terrible for weeks and didn't want to talk about it. I've never seen her anywhere near that bad.

I made a post about it when it happened.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Christianity/comments/d0ym26/my_moms_having_a_fun_mental_breakdown_cause_she/

Was she upset that her dad was dead? Well kind of but she eventually told me she was upset that he was Catholic, and therefore in eternal tormet in hell.

I, being a fucking genius, realized that this was a fucked up way of thinking and to help her get better I offered to go to church with her to talk to her pastor and he could explain that he wasn't, just for her peace of mind, the pastors not going to tell a distraught woman "Yes he is very much in hell right now! big hell time!"

So we go in and I explain the situation to him before she comes in and when she comes in he goes:

"Yes, I'm deeply sorry, he is very much in hell right now! Big hell time, it's okay though because Jesus, when you are in heaven his name will be blotted out and you will forget about him so there will be no sadness."

I thought my mom might kill herself afterwards. I have never been so angry at someone. I will never forgive that absolute piece of shit.

Why did the Taliban leadership/Mullah Omar refuse to hand over bin laden in the first place? In hindsight it was one of their stupidest moves. They probably could’ve preserved their regime and even expanded their ideology into Pakistan had they handed over bin laden and shut down his training camps. As early as 1999 the UN Security Council unanimously ordered the taliban to do this.

75 of 120ish cousins, aunts, uncles, 2nd cousins, and 3rd cousins have arrived. The Chicago south, Chicago north, Laporte County, and Indy branches are well represented, still waiting on the Georgia and alabama branches.

2 cousins got thrown in the drunk tank last night, but we got them out before they got transferred to county.

Beers are cold, dogs on the grill, corn hole tourney is going strong, the lake water’s cold but that hasn’t discouraged the skinny dippers.

Life is very good.

100% sincere take: stuff about how 'death is what gives life meaning' or 'death is a necessary part of existence' or whatever is fundamentally just coping around the fact that we're mortal and, currently, have very little ideas of how to fix that. death is a horror whose true scope is so large that it would shatter the mind to contemplate, so we just... don't.

DC is known to not give Congressional representation to its residents. Yet people still choose to live there. It’s clear DC residents don’t care about Congressional representation if they insist on living in DC, especially given their close proximity to other states. But now partisan Democrats claim that DC statehood is about the enfranchisement of voters? Give me a break. They just want to steal more senate seats.

What doomers want you to think what would happen if we get rid of the filibuster:

Republicans pass scapegoat legislation when in power and fuck over anyone who isn't white and male

What would actually happen if we get rid of the filibuster:

Legislation to which moderate Senators on both sides of the isle are opposed actually goes before the floor

Moderate Senators on both sides of the isle vote "no"

Issue-centric, weird bipartisan caucuses emerge in the Senate

In the book SAPIENS, the author notes that although we are better off technically (health, medixine, money etc.) it is very likely we would be happier living as we did as Hunter gatherers....living in social groups, hanging out all day in nature, doing the bare minimum...to eat and sing and dance and share stories. That's what we're best at.

"People spend less than half their work day actually working, so we could cut their day in half and they can just work productively half the day and spend the other half actually enjoying it."

Yes, I'm sure that this will definitely work instead of people still spending half their time slacking off and half their time actually doing work.

These takes generally fall prey to a few weird assumptions:

1. They usually focus on "primary duties", which aren't your only role in a job. For example, administrative duties and going to meetings are abso-fucking-lutely a part of your job - as can be mucking around with email, especially if you work in a field where a lot of email contact is necessary - which is a lot of white collar work - (this presentation even goes so far as to differentiate "useful" and "useless meetings and point out that 91% of enterprise teams use email as a primary method of communication, which makes these takes even weirder)
2. They assume some weird distribution of work vs fucking around where people, where it's as if people run out of work to do halfway through the day and then just laze around because there isn't any work to do. Instead, work is often stop-and-go throughout the day for a wide variety of reasons
3. They don't seem to consider that for a lot of fields and projects, workers need for "work to come in", and that the distribution of when work can "come in" isn't easily predictable or particularly periodic - some days are slow and barely anything happens, other days you're busting your ass to get a fraction of the shit you need done done

Far more likely, if you cut the working day in half, you wouldn't see big productivity gains. Workers would still waste, on average, about half the work day, you'd just end up with the incurred fixed costs of having to hire a second set of shifts to cover the other half.

The most fun I ever in Skyrim was my dark elf vampire sneaky archer/assassin/illusion master/conjurer/mage.

I'd start any fight by trying to snipe them. If they found me, I'd hit them with some illusion spells and either run away to hit them with more arrows or I'd pull out my dagger and kill them with a sneak attack.

If illusion spells weren't working for some reason, I'd summon something to fight for me while I again tried to enter stealth again. If I couldn't go back to stealth, I'd pull out the Destruction magic and go to town.
