Ok so PSA since a lot of people don't seem to know this. Bodies of water near power plants, mines or quarries can have harmfuly high pH and quantities of heavy metals, which will cause you serious health problems. They also make the water look extremely clear and blue.

Yes I'm queer. Queer for the jade marshal Wu Peifu who will uphold the legitimate rule of the Beiyang government, drive out the Japanese, defeat the blue usurper armies and clear out the red bandits. FIVE RACES UNDER ONE UNION! THE REPUBLIC SHALL LIVE FOREVER!

Waterloo famously had 16,000 Soviet conscripts leased as extras, who were presumably just happy their conscription time was mostly playing dress-up instead of working potato fields. No way you can get that many extras that cheap nowadays.

Why have people decided to treat this obvious Kremlin agitprop bot that has done nothing but repost vaguely leftist coded memes every hour since 2019 like it's a real account?
@roun_sa_ville
The whole "before glorious Russia/Serbia you were nothing but stable boys for Germans" is a trope so old, my great-grandfather already had it hurled his way. It's old hat and passé. Insane that western Internet leftists are discovering it for the first time.
@laifa_l
I think that this can be explained by the fact that Goscinny figured out early on that treating the Romans as just a foreign occupying force was kind of limiting plot wise. Treating them as a kind of stand-in for the French state opened up a lot of new storytelling avenues.

Ash pollution from coal powered power plants can turn bodies of water in the area a lovely shade of clear turquoise that also have a pH of up to 11,5.
@NeeedlesEye
Sections of French wikipedia radiate enormous jacobin particles. I don't know if it's still the current revision, but the article for the Alsatian soviet used to say the entire operation was an evil teutonic plot under the orders of Ludendorff to complicate French reconquest.
@socialaskan
Clearly the situation calls for some sort of wry and perspicacious commoner to infiltrate the exiled prince's inner circle and use their wit & cunning to help the good hearted but dull prince in reclaiming the throne, no doubt receiving a generous pecuniary reward in return.

Just a casual reminder that we're currently commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Tambov Rebellion during which Lenin authorised the use of poison gas and mass executions in the face of a peasant uprising after the Bolsheviks requisitioned all of the grain.

I think a lot of people kind of gloss over the Parthian side of the battle. Surena was an expert general who knew he couldn't beat the Romans in conventional warfare and reconfigured his army into a mix of cavalry and archers specifically for this battle.

A friend of mine got so smitten by this building when we were visiting that he straight up went inside to ask what's up with it. He got redirected to an executive level gift shop they apparently have that sells link cuffs with the building's logo.
@BadSocialism
FDR should've forcibly turned the 🇬🇧 and 🇫🇷 into direct protectorates. Just earlier I was reading a French defence paper from the 60s that was just whining that 🇫🇷 being under NATO command meant they'd have to defend Fulda instead of being allowed to do fun warcrimes in Africa.
@JohnWakefieId
It's probably a relic from 2016 era leftism which preached unionisation as a one sized fits all panacea I would guess? You know DSA is full of annoying middle class kids that think larping as union workers is the best thing ever.

Honestly yeah. I was thinking how society in the late 18th/19th century had like at least the basis of modern medicine, philosophy, manufacturing... They were ways of but at least the path was clear.

What I'm saying that they dug up a king of England and analysed his skeleton for no real reason other than they could, stop pretending archaeologists and anthropologists somehow only dig up poc remains.

He won't actually tell you though, because that would reveal he's from some obscure junior branch that last shared an ancestor with the real Habsburg line more than 200 years ago.
@TolkienSociety
Out of curiosity - what's the internal schedule for this obviously planned bowdlerisation of Tolkien's work? How long until we get a re-edition of the classics with trans Gimli and black Aragorn? I hear they're doing good progress on that front in that Amazon series already.

Islamic courts ban muslim women marrying outside their faith while Muslim men may marry outside their faith under certain conditions which can be interpreted differently depending on the court.
@JohnWakefieId
I know the US is different, but over here working for a political party means you agree to long hours/insane schedules with the understanding you'll get into some ministry as part of the "in confidence" quota of employees when you get in govt. At no point here is a union useful.
@JohnWakefieId
Even before that, parties are supposed to be internally democratic with the membership at large voting through delegates on what the party fiscal policy should be, nowhere here is an employees union anything other than a self-serving clique.

It's panels like this that remind you that in the end the entire 40k franchise is basically just advertisements for plastic toys with the same inherent value as the comic panels at the back of a cereal box.

Unironically a neutral Lithuania acting as a roadblock for the Germans significantly changes the course of the war by making a race to Leningrad more difficult. Of course assuming neither party just decides to bulldoze them and be done with it.

Not serious analysis, but to me his posting style has always reeked of hideously wealthy old money. The way he's never properly been told "no" or put in his place in his entire life which makes him think his contributions are always pertinent and welcome, not matter his aptitude.

That would imply gayness measured discretely which kind of goes against the point of a spectrum. If it's a spectrum, gayness is continuous and therefore the chances of two people falling on the same spot are astronomically small.

However that's directly at odds with China's legalist "realpolitik" foreign policy of treating the status quo as desirable and engaging any state actor no matter how small or authoritarian on grounds of "we don't fuck with your internal politics and you won't with ours".

These narco "subs" are actually just boats that sit just below the waterline to stay undetected, the whole sub designation comes from the media looking for a good story. They can't actually dive below the surface for any real depth or amount of time.
