Anything over 25 hours a week is too much to work. Anything longer than 6 hours is too long to work in a single day. The ideal work schedule is four or five 5-hour days per week. The minimum wage should be no less than $20 an hour to accommodate this. Also, work sucks and having a job is unnecessary to having a feeling of purpose.

That's probably what happens in Star Trek. 99.999% of the human race is probably in a holodeck jerking it to photon titties, meanwhile those crazy few weirdos go join starfleet to try and gently caress an alien.

Ready Player One was fine. It's not great, it's not garbage. It's just a scifi novel with a really obvious moral to it and a lot of nostalgia.

I doubt anyone can say with any confidence what effect a successful secession would have on a war that took place 50 years later on the other side of the world, but it's my understanding that America's involvement wasn't terribly significant anyway.

I'm not saying that the US won the second or first world wars by themselves. But the influx of man power, the not having to watch your borders too closely, the sheer economic strength of a nation untouched by war was a pretty big deal. If they had a belligerent country to their South its not likely they would have been able to commit anything to the war effort. And seriously, the South was likely more on the side of the 3rd Reich than the Allies in the second world war, that would have been some serious poo poo to have an Axis sympathetic 3rd world country on the Southern border of the United States. So yeah, Western Democracy was pretty much saved at Appomattox Courthouse when the evil South was destroyed.

I'm in no way a fan of regressive policies and/or racism, sexism, etc., but I've travelled through most of the country as part of my job, and found no_difference_whatsoever between the opinions and attitudes espoused by white people in small towns/rural areas in a)the South, b) the Midwest, c)Idaho/ E. Washington/Montana, and central California. They mostly all suck outside of college towns and larger cities. Sad but true.

The Confederates would almost certainly have sided with the British and the French, because the only way they'd have had a snowball's chance of winning the Civil War would've been if the British and the French help them (i.e. Royal Navy breaks the blockade and Canadian troops attack New England, Napoleon III successfully establishes a pro-French Hapsburg monarchy in Mexico etc.).

Hey, that is even possible, but the war effort is effectively cut in half because there are two countries instead of one, and thr South wasnt self sustaining economically. It is a Very Good thing the South lost and likely history would be very different and worse for the West if theyd have won. Its almost time for the annual South thread so Im just gettin warmed up. Ill have all the data and stuff in that annual effort post.

Most of my criticisms of the South are political and social in nature, not as if all individual are evil or whatever just because they were born in Mississippi. A lot of the social, political, and even economic ills we have in the US stem from policies that the Southern bloc of states have enacted along with their cultural standards against progressive ideas, I.E. Mississippi JUST ratified the 13th amendment in 2013  That poo poo isn't OK or anything to be proud of.spit on my clit posted:well here's a few reasons.

Whoa insulting William T Sherman is kind of against the forums rules, man. I won't report you but you gotta be careful with that kind of talk! William Sherman was kind of a dickhead but he did something that likely ought to have been completed more completely and thoroughly in order to Make America Great Again. Total war on a region dedicated to the subjugation of its own people (Black OR White) is cool and good. Also if you don't chug estus in DS3 pvp then you need to look at your life and choices.

The majority of people who "marched" yesterday and wore their "pussy hats" are going to go back to doing nothing but blogging and tweeting and will not do anything meaningful to prevent something like Trump happening again. It's all about getting that selfie to make sure your online friends know you're "woke" and an "activist", nothing more.
