TN also almost split like VA in the civil war. They were the last to secede (doing so to protest Lincoln calling for state militia members to quell the rebellion). East TN (Knoxville region) was unionist whereas West TN (Memphis region) was rebellious. TN also supplied the most fighters to the union of any secessionist state.
Adjusted for inflation, the heist is the most valuable in Canadian history.
fuccin lol
Just like how the American left wing is still right of center, it feels like American libertarians are still auth of center. Glad there’s at least one maniac like me out there
Cops can also just grab your plates and mail you the inital citation as well as seek further measures for fleeing the scene or whatever.
Don’t get me wrong acab and the meme made me exhale sharply. But yeah, no one should be getting shot at for driving away from a cop. SHOULD
No no no, don’t you understand? The money HAS to sit in their pockets so they can accrue interest. It’s only once they become trilionaires that they’ll be able to help.
/s obviously
As someone who is decent at math and shit a social interactions I was promised “No really bro, you want to make more money, trust me bro” by persons of authority and then it turns out, no I don’t really. Because yeah it turns out doing extra math homework opens more doors, but those doors are all the same and what was behind those doors was never actually explained. If the government says my brain is still developing and that I can’t be trusted to vote for the president then surely that same government must admit that I can’t be trusted to make informed choices about 40,000 - 200,000 dollar investments. As someone who really wishes that they took your path, I can absolutely attest that I was coerced into making a poor choice early. And while I won’t try and deflect that as it ultimately was a choice I made, I was far from informed.
Yeah doesn’t make sense to me, I don’t downvote anime or foodporn posts and sometimes I even read them. It ain’t much but it’s honest work
boomer sooner
I mod for a community that doesn’t align with the interests of a ‘typical’ lemmy user and a lot of our posts get a negative vote or two early in their lifespan. I just assume that the fedi is full of haters lol
But that’s just the point, the inflation of college tuition is borderline predatory. I absolutely went to college because I “had” to, but after 4 years of further self discovery and education I realized I didn’t actually want/need the education I received (the social aspects were absolutely a blast though, don’t get me wrong). If I wasn’t socially pressured by academic advisors and the wealthy into going to college and instead was actually explained what college entailed, I likely wouldn’t have gone (at least in hindsight). Now I work in a profession completely unrelated to my 2 computer science/math degrees and will be paying for the mistake of biting the higher education pill for decades.
What does it mean to be the “most liberal college” in florida? Is this in the actual college administration? As my understanding and experince indicates that colligate student bodies trend liberally to begin with, and I’ve seen nothing to indicate that would change even in the hellhole that is florida. (Yeah rich coming from Tennessee, I know, but I’m genuinely curious)
Play stupid games…

Just so long as we’re not hunters in a dark forest…
Would these greys not have experimented with nuclear explosives and/or had nuclear incidents in their past? Surely they would look at us the same way we would look at the English and French hurling huge rocks at each other in the middle ages were we to time travel. There are plenty of reasons for intelligent life to skip past earth but I doubt a history of nuclear science is one of them.
Right, but if you read that link, you’ll see that that quote isn’t direct but instead a historians recollection of “words to that effect” from Ike. The following quote CAN be directly attributed to him:
I made the visit deliberately, in order to be in position to give first-hand evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations merely to “propaganda.”
Absolute banger
