Plus budget is more the House’s deal. On that end, Ryan’s in some hot water since the moderate GOP is sick of the Freedom Caucus jerking everyone else around and says they won’t sign onto a budget that doesn’t have Democrat input.

An excellent point.

This is an excellent point and deserves more stars.

Even then, Vicksburg fell the DAY after Gettysburg so even then a change to Gettysburg might not do it. I think we’re looking at a change as far back as Antietam, at the very least.

Plus a lot of Jews and Roma HAVE complained about High Castle, it just got brushed over and people seem to have forgotten it now. But back when they did up that subway car I remember it being damn loud.

A common criticism I have seen leveled at it by Jews and Roma is “white people asking themselves ‘but what if it was about me’ with the Holocaust” which....yeah. People need to act like Jews and Roma haven’t criticized it, they have. Especially the advertising like doing up subway cars in Nazi look. Classy.

I remember when I was a kid and we moved from FL to CA for a year. Took us three days to cross TX, seeing nothing but a whole lot of nothing most of the way. Three days in the front of a moving truck with a first grader and a dog. My god my parents have nerves of steel.

Well we’re really not there yet. At all. And a lot of people underestimate the clout a lot of anti-zoo orgs are getting. Some have even admitted their goal is to get rid of all captive big cats in the USA, despite the fact that they know it would hurt other conservation efforts for big cat species, and still get…

Yep. Seriously, they would have to make a serious change happen during the war, probably something leading to Lincoln losing re-election to someone promising peace via treaty, and even then a lot of damage was done in the early years...

They outright kidnap peoples’ pets to kill them. Fuck em.

Okay, guess you want a lot more animals extinct. Cause, yeah, zoos to a shit ton of conservation and acting like good ones are only ever the exception is playing into the hands of the crowds who want to shut down all zoos and breeding programs forever.

Here’s the thing: who says how we protect tigers? Because are you talking to people who work with animals, animal welfare activists, animal rights activists (very different things), or just random concerned members of the public?

Actually they want most animals dead given their tactics. The majority of animals they “rescue” they kill and they’re against most conservation programs. So yeah, more like they want to just get your attention.

Back when I was into Hetalia I had this big thing going where I flipped all the colonial relationships that were focused on in the series. Which in some ways ended up making no godamn sense so I was doing a crapton of research to even try to get it there. It was fun as a mind excercise. It was still pretty…

One thing that gets me, as someone who likes to tell stories, is that they have yet to pitch a story. They’ve got just a concept, “modern world with slavery continuing in the Southern US as the CSA due to the Civil War ending differently.”

Yep. Even the GOP is fed up with it.

Eh, I’ve done level grinding or played Animal Crossing on the DS or 3DS to help me fall asleep since high school. Usually get in at least 45 minutes before my brain is bored enough to sleep.

I await the nuanced responses and logical debate that is sure to follow.

Good luck! May you succeed!

There’s two chapters in Al Franken’s book Giant of the Senate about his Republican colleagues. One is about most of them and how he’s learned to get along with them to get at least the smaller stuff done, the stuff that doesn’t make huge news but still needs support, and how while he can’t unfairly hate Jeff Sessions…
