Former ditch digger turned office worker. I miss the ditch digging sometimes. My body never does.

The One™ MLK quote.

The dynasty that ruled Moscovy and eventually crowned themselves Tsar of Russia were Kievan Rus. Not sure how they’d ‘take’ what they already were.

Last month it was drained to be painted with a blue swimming pool liner.

Because that’s what you do when you’re losing another war in Asia.

I hate that I know this is a loaded question.

Innit.

There’s some neurotoxins that can get you with shellfish and such.

I remember 90’s era Starbucks and a bunch were still pretty grungy corners of strip malls. But the point was they were still coffeeshops, despite being a chain that went corporate.

Now they’re glorified coffee stands with real estate baggage and little sandwiches. And zero of that ‘third place’ shit they used to dominate the market.

Back when I worked for a health department there was pretty good evidence that people mostly shit at work.

I came across this evidence when inspecting homeless encampments which was also when I came to learn most of them fucking had jobs.

Then covid came around and all the remote workers started blowing up their septic systems because they’d never been used so much and during the daytime.

The sanitary overlap between tent cities and fancy farmhouses is much larger than you’d expect.

I have seen many an occupied barn in rural America.

This kind of situation is usually a medical condition and the land inherited from grandpa. The piece of land and shanty structures on it are all they have. Which is actually a whole lot given the value of land these days.

But for the most part they’ll stubbornly die on the bit of land they grew up on. If they have kids who left, they sell afterwards. If there’s kids that don’t leave, they perpetuate the cycle another generation.

Sorta. The dynasty that formed and ruled the tsardom of Russia were from Kievan Rus heritage by way of Rurik.

Muscovy was the polity that really formed the framework of the tsardom out of the princedoms left in the wake of the Khanates.

For the people I was referencing it was more racial association with people from South and Central America being predominantly Catholic.

I remember a congregation out where I live, in Yankeestan, had astened a crude structure onto their truckbed and they called it their mobile chapel. They’d drive out to agriculture zones and try to preach to migrants against catholicism.

It’d be a lot easier to refer to the Nakba, unless you’re deliberately avoiding that reference.

700,000 Palestinians fled in 1947/48

They just did that. No reason.

Protestant/Unionist

That is mainly the root of it. The Catholic-Protestant divide is mirrored as the Republican-Unionist divide. Even if the religion could be separated the political implication remained.

Which made things especially tough for the Protestants in the republic and all the Catholics in the union.

If it’s based on the reason given for when MrKaplan got banned by this user two days ago, I think it’s pretty strong evidence this is an interpersonal spat and retaliatory.

Classic.

Yeah there’s been a whole recent wave of mass bannings from the FHF team. So I am guessing there’s a larger and more interpersonal issue going on between these users.

The username is the relevant part whereas now that user calling anyone a Zionist is a call for a slapping. I thought to add the link so anyone can just read from the horse’s mouth so to speak.
