"Despite his superpowers, #Superman still confronts ethical dilemmas and still needs to use judgement to solve them. The weight of #Superman's choices is often like that of world leaders' choices, potentially affecting millions of lives and the future of nations." - Mark D. White
On this day in 1904, German General Lothar von Trotha issued an extermination order against the Herero and Nama peoples in present-day Namibia. The genocide that followed killed an estimated 65,000 Herero and 10,000 Namaqua, making it the first genocide of the 20th century.
@AlpArslan_9yyx@DecebalStalin Crusade of 1101 was a clear Muslim/Seljuk victory. The main Christian armies were destroyed in Anatolia (Mersivan, Heraclea). That green check is incorrect.
@Tyre_94 Sultan Alp Arslan—the Great Turkic Khagan and Seljuk Emperor who defeated and captured the Byzantine Emperor Romanos Diogenes at the Battle of Manzikert in 1071—laughs upon seeing this post. 😁
@Tyre_94 They had ONE crusade that worked out and they lost 90% of their guys in the process. But they did have some insane aura farming moments, so here we are.
I always laugh when they romanticize the Crusades because it’s like did you even bother to look into who won those? Lmao like the Muslims pack them boys up 8 times in a row 😂
The first guy was part of the most amazing discourse last year.
A guy on here said that you could move to Iowa and buy a home for $95k, then get a job at the local post office and earn $25 per hour. But he voted for Trump, who has slashed post office funding and thus jobs. And the house turned out to be $95k because it's a former meth lab.
The guy in your first slide also joined the conversation, saying that it's anti-Christian to encourage men to move. But he himself was born in California and moved to Tennessee.
I really enjoyed the moment. Felt like the Benny Hill theme was running through it.

I’ve always found “this woman prefers a life of misery, loneliness, and meaningless toil over having children and living with me or one of my cohort” to be tellingly lacking in self awareness
YOU HAVEN'T HEARD THIS ONE BEFORE.
Perhaps George W. Bush learned from his father’s experience that it is safest to do as Israel demands.
On September 12, 1991, George H.W. Bush went on camera and threatened to block $10 billion in U.S. loan guarantees to Israel unless it froze settlements and cooled tensions with the Palestinians.
He called himself “one lonely little guy” against “a thousand lobbyists.”
Then on January 8, 1992, the clip everyone still shares: Bush collapses at a state dinner in Tokyo and vomits on Japan’s prime minister.
White House said flu.
After that, the public fight over cutting aid to Israel went quiet. The money eventually went through.
Probably nothing.
