@BelllowThree@SokumenTop@burgahmeister@CaptainJack4565@XanderhalTV I dont think there's any evidence he knew that Nikki was posessed during the sex scene. He more strongly suspects the wish actually worked but its not yet clear that Real Nikki is in there, somewhere
@REPHVIM@JPEGMacDonald@Y40IFRQTTING "Unusual" as in "different". And here we're not comparing English to world languages but rather its relatives in Europe
@JPEGMacDonald@Y40IFRQTTING Of course it's defined by what aspects we're comparing but the original post is clearly saying it is unusual overall. Would you say then that it is impossible for any language to be, on the whole, unusual when compared to several others?
@Will_Tanner_1 Most law school personal statement instructions that I've come across say your essay should reflect your personal experiences and how they led you to persue a legal career. Can I just ignore that and write a manifesto?
@Empty_America@RealJohnDios Idk does this honor code not also include prohibitions on "kicking a man while he's down"? The old man is in big trouble not for punching him but for drowning him
@UnsureKris@jmhorp This is part of it, but many of the areas growing rapidly actually have fairly low housing costs and vice versa. For example the population of NYC is actually declining while Nashville and Austin have growing populations. If you allow housing to be built prices will be stable
@stevenixnvd@jmhorp Population is older now (40 versus 30) so it's no surprise more Americans own homes and have paid off mortgages. Also, rental market is much, much more expensive now
@vhenanshiral@theromaul@twink_death By this logic, would you say Ethiopian cities are 200,000 years old because they've been occupied by people for that long? Or are they even older because of other hominids?
@SDUnitedComm@Peter_Nimitz The Founders didn't imagine the enormous welfare programs/housing supply restrictions we have today. If you restricted voting to property owners social security and medicare would immediately take up the entire budget
@misshapenident1@armstrong96001@BCWallin I think the point of the movie is how the different jurors come to their not guilty votes, which depends on their backgrounds/views. This is itself a sort of analogy for how American society at large accepts social liberalism during the mid 20th century
@Empty_America@theramblingfool To the extent that there is a plan, the complaining is the "concrete action". Anti-boomers hope to raise a sort of generational consciousness in the hopes that Zoomers will become a voting block with clear interests which politicians can pander to
@atlanticesque Yeah people on here seem to think GG&S is about the West's dominance since 1500 when it's really about Eurasia's dominance since 10,000 BC
@ghostworldsteps@molina_hec25336@BillTheKid1603 I read them in college. Is it not discussing the problem faced by would-be capitalists in the periphery? ie that because land was plentiful it was difficult to get natives to work on plantations in order to accumulate capital, thus violence was necessary to create a labor market?
@ghostworldsteps@molina_hec25336@BillTheKid1603 Europe was more advanced than the Americas BEFORE the development of the capitalist mode of production, and before feudalism as well. Marx's descriptions of post 1492 imperialism are irrelevant to answering "Yali's question"
@ghostworldsteps@molina_hec25336@BillTheKid1603 There's like 3 chapters which focus almost entirely on England.
Marx says prim accu was completed in Western Europe and imperialism was about finding new opportunities to engage in it. But he doesn't ever describe WHY euros completed prim accu before e.g. native americans
