Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu.
Battled someone locally for the first time. His team was wayyy overleveled and crushed me in the first match. But I managed to win the second time because I'm a more experienced battler and figured out his play style, lol.
Well for starters, the UK has the Queen, while the USA has a presidential system. The UK's parliamentary system of governance is basically path-dependency Calvinball, while the USA is more formalized (although Trump is breaking a lot of norms.)
I've only been to England and Scotland, but have...
Kind of? :P History nerd too.
Fun Facts) Also the last candidate of the Whig Party (who endorsed the Know-Nothing Ticket), in 1856. Funny because they kicked him off the ticket in 1852.
Other nonconsecutive ex-Presidential runs:
Martin Van Buren also ran on the Free Soil ticket in 1848...
Many Native Americans do not use a $20 bill because it has the face of Andrew Jackson, who forcibly removed the Indians from their land and encouraged genocide of Native Americans harsh even by 19th century standards.
A delusional painter who believed he was King Richard III of England tried to...
Yes.
That doesn't mean I like that.
Nationalism, racism, etc...
Religion is just a tool in the oppressor's shed. But it's more than just that.
As for World War I being murder... it was senseless slaughter, don't make it worse by telling everyone drafted that they were forced to commit murder...
Stalinism had a personality cult, but that's not a true cult. Technically, you could say the revere of Stalin was a cult, but Kim Il-sung is still revered after his death, which is usually the difference between a cult and a religion. North Korea is more like a religion than Stalinism.
Nazism...
Are you on alternatehistory.com or is that someone else?
Anyways, Romney vs. Obama. Obama wins rather easily, perhaps a little less than 2008 but perhaps a little more, despite the new census. Most Republicans don't even like Romney.
I am not a member of an organized political party. In other words, I am a Democrat.
You would just get unofficial parties then. Parties are natural groupings of individuals who want to achieve common goals. Prior to the 90s, a bipartisan consensus could still be reached (each party was not...

I have a soft spot for Eddie Izzard too, but I know he doesn't match up to the rest
Ha! In my day Peachycakes and Willy on Wheels (not Wayoshi Willy, though I was there too) would still show up! As well as Jakebastille, the troll who's damage to the wiki took the longest to undo. And there weren't even patrollers back then, a-yup!
The Arabs hadn't conquered the Levant until Muhammed's time. Jesus was 600 years too early to be an Arab. He was a Jew, but he was not white in the European sense of the term (he was probably dark to light tannish. not blonde).
And he certainly did exist as a historical figure. To deny this is...
Casablanca, It's a Wonderful Life, To Kill A Mockingbird and oddly Treasure of the Sierra Madre get me real good, but I don't think they're primarily supposed to be tragedies.
Of Mice and Men, A Streetcar Named Desire, East of Eden, and Citizen Kane do make me very sad.
These movies go even...

Ah, I was just careless while driving (looked at my phone for a second going 5mph outside my house to see who was calling and knocked quite a bit out of the right side of the car, and just missed the gas main. Which explodes when hit. So... yeah.
Just don't look at your fucking fones gaiz. :posh:
Remember to drive safely.
Even looking at your phone for a second going 5mph right outside your house can lead to death (or near death, in my recent experience. Still rather shocked about it.)

An awesome Icelandic band~~~
One of the best new bands in a long long time.
Thought I would share this with y'all.
This.
And if its not bad it'll seem so much better because of low expectations (think the Transformers movie. Although they were also helped by Megan Fox. Lots and lots of Megan Fox.)
Your avatar is amazing ;D
Along with the Daily Show, the best TV News info on American politics.
Which is somewhat depressing when you realize what the rest of the news has come to.. :toad:
