@lukeisamazing The third gave a lifeline to the Kingdom of Jerusalem that enabled it to survive, in reduced form, for another century. The fourth and sixth did not work out long term, yes, but calling them Muslim victories is inaccurate.

@NerdBurns @JoePostingg Yeah, ex ante it made a certain amount of sense. Iraq had a large and well dug-in army, while the American public, the Vietnam war fresh in their minds, was loath to risk casualties. The swift and complete success of the coaltion took most obervers by surprise.

@KatharinaWesse2 Ich weiß noch, wie wir bei einer Bootsfahrt in Holland, einen Mitschüler, der ein paar übern Durst getrunken hat, an Armen und Beinen an Bord geschleppt wurde und Herr R. sich die Zeitung so vors Gesicht gehalten hat, dass er es nicht sah.

Für die fixe Idee, dass Arbeitnehmer im makroökonomisch relevanten Umfang Erkankungen vortäuschen oder Ärzte dies kollusiv unterstützen, fehlt jeder empirische Beleg.

@D_Langenmayr Nein, Sie können keine Geschichten erzählen. Überlassen Sie die Entscheidung, wer krank ist, Fachleuten, die das beurteilen können.

Everyone claims to be tired of muh elves, muh dwarves, muh orcs and so on.

And then they proceed to reinvent them from first principles.

Because the archetypes are immortal and inevitable.

This is the best way I’ve seen an insurgent candidate handle the “does Israel have a right to exist” shibboleth so far. It’s embarrassing how many times she asked. I hate the media.

@zweiwalker89607 Volume 1: Hey, this is great fun, I'll get the remaining two
Volume 2: Not quite as good, but it holds up
Volume 3: Non stop rape and forced prostitution the author clearly gets horny about

@RealOdysseas In German, it is usually referred to as the "inner-German border".

@GroovySciFi The governor of Florida is also the president of Cuba, owing allegiance to the United States in the former role, but not in the latter.

@formfetish @kleeposting Die hysterische Vokabel"mörderisch" sowie die Verharmlosung des Genozids als "Krieg" ist keine sachlich-wissenschaftliche Darstellung sondern Propaganda.
