@Owl_Bob_ @tanpukunokami I think you folks are in second place to us up here in America's hat. 🇨🇦

@tanpukunokami Yo! 🇨🇦

@HomerPavlos IMO, the deaths of the servant women was a political point. Laertes was still alive, which is why Telemachus wasn't crowned in Odysseus' absence. If Penelope went to a suitor then he'd have likely liquidated the royal family, named himself king and made his mistress queen.

เมื่อเจ้าของรถได้กลิ่นฉี่หนูในรถ เลยรีบขับไปให้อู่ช่วยเช็ก แต่ความพีคคือที่อู่นี้ดันมี "ช่างผู้เชี่ยวชาญ" ด้านการแก้ปัญหาเกี่ยวกับหนูโดยเฉพาะรอให้บริการอยู่พอดี 😳

พอรับงานปุ๊บ ช่างก็มุดเข้าไปสำรวจแผงคอนโซลหน้ารถอย่างทะมัดทะแมง ใช้เวลาแป๊บเดียวก็จัดการเจอสาเหตุของปัญหาได้อย่างรวดเร็ว สมกับเป็นผู้เชี่ยวชาญเฉพาะทางระดับตำนานจริงๆ ฮะ

The Mandaeans (Sabians), followers of John the Baptist, are among Iran’s oldest religious minorities.

They live mainly in Ahvaz and southern Khuzestan, Iran , preserving their ancient baptismal traditions.

Denied official recognition, they are barred from government jobs and continue their ancestral trade as gold and silver smiths.

@hokkori_buzz What? Why? Okay, whatever. Why not? Canada is prepared as an ally.

@harukaawake I'm guessing the most anti-Japanese communist one. I'm a little surprised she doesn't have a nose ring but it's only a matter of time before that's acquired.

It might be a struggle where you are to arm yourself and your family but do it. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

[Krzysztof Szczawinski 🇵🇱 @Kristof_Poland]

The gun is the most misunderstood object in Western civilization. Not a weapon. A technology. The technology that made the idea of equality physically real.

1. The longbow democratized warfare – a peasant could kill a knight with a stick and a string, and Agincourt proved it. The gun completed the process. The armored warrior class whose claim to social dominance rested on physical superiority became obsolete. The aristocratic monopoly on violence ended not with a philosophy but with a mechanism. The gun is the physical enforcement of the idea that all men are created equal. Which is why the American founders put it in the second amendment – not as an afterthought, but as the guarantee of everything else.

2. The Roman citizen had the right to bear arms. The Greek citizen had it. The English yeoman had it. The Swiss canton built its entire civilization on it. The disarming of the population has always been, in every civilization, in every century, the first act of the government that intends to stop being answerable to that population. Show me a disarmed population and I will show you a population that lost something else shortly after.

3. The Second Amendment is not about hunting. It is not about sport. It is about the relationship between the armed citizen and the state – the explicit constitutional acknowledgment that the citizen’s right to defend himself, his family, and his civilization against any threat, including the government itself, is not granted by the state and cannot be revoked by it. Power flows upward from the armed citizen, not downward from the armed state.

4. The gun defends the family. The woman alone with her children. The farmer on the edge of civilization. The shopkeeper in the neighborhood the police no longer patrol. The gun is the equalizer – the technology that makes the physical difference between a large man and a small woman irrelevant. Every argument for disarmament is, at its core, an argument that the state will protect you better than you can protect yourself. The evidence for this proposition is not encouraging.

5. In Europe, the disarmament is now nearly complete – and it happened precisely as the state’s ability and willingness to protect its citizens began to decline. The timing is not coincidental. A population that cannot defend itself must trust the state to defend it – which is a population that cannot effectively question whether the state is doing so. The dependency is the design.

6. The gun is a civilizational technology in the deepest sense: it requires responsibility, judgment, and the willingness to accept the consequences of your decisions. You cannot outsource it. You cannot have a committee fire it. It is the most anti-bureaucratic object ever invented – a direct, personal, consequential instrument that puts the full weight of the decision on the individual holding it. Which is precisely why the administrative state finds it intolerable. Not because it is dangerous. Because it is sovereign.

7. The family that can defend itself does not depend on the state for its most fundamental security. The civilization that can defend itself has not yet outsourced its survival to an institution that will negotiate the terms of that survival on its own behalf. The gun determines who controls violence – and therefore who controls everything that violence can threaten. Which is everything. The Sobieski who rode down the hill had a sword and sixty thousand horsemen. The equivalent today is the armed citizen who understands what he is defending and why. Every civilization that forgot this discovered it the hard way. The ones that remembered it are still here.

@trad_west_ All the popes after the Vatican 2 Nostra Aetate decree have simped to Muslims, Jews, and pagans. Our Church is compromised and, despite knowing full well Jesus will be triumphant, praising little fashionable appeasements is ignoring the true crime against our faith.

But those foreigners are only where they are because the people of Oslo allow it. Permissions can be rescinded.
Ro! (I know I'm misusing the word but your people were the Vikings who frightened Rome.)

Or just turn off the heat. Winter will sort it out. 😈

@Bossy_Leah I could pick any random five year-olds in my local neighborhood and they'd said 'call the fire department' and/or 'use a hose'. We'd have to teach them a bucket chain at most (it rains a lot here; fires don't generally worry us). What the hell is that smoke? A tire fire?

@tuuu28283 Let us all celebrate Willis Haviland Carrier, born 1876, the American who invented air conditioning. How we don't have holiday named for him is pure ingratitude.

[CS Pinkerton @CS_Pinkerton]

@NordRants Oh God. Norway? Of all places? 😱

[CS Pinkerton @CS_Pinkerton]

@SonyPicturesCan Tell me you don't have snow tires without telling me.😉 Looks great!

[CS Pinkerton @CS_Pinkerton]

@NordRants I can't believe ME noise is up where you are. If you want to troll people, post this one. There's a Husky and what could be taken as a soccer/football. A red cross, some Artic flowers. Welcome to the Yukon territory. 😉

@cosmic_marvel And thank continuity for that. Kang all iterations was actually Nathaniel Richards, father of Reed Richards. So if they kept the actor they'd have to make Reed black. If Reed is black then they'd have to make Franklin black.
