winners of the war of 1812 get to make the rules
Just because the user below me deleted their comment:
Well no... the British won the war.
American war aims were two things, invading Canada and ending impressment.
Two outcomes: the failure to invade Canada, and nothing in the Treaty of Ghent mentioning impressment because Madison knew he had absolutely no power to make those demands because the British had won.
Out of all the theartres of the war the British dominated 2 and the Americans none.
The pride of the US Navy was humiliated time and time again, mainly by Charles Napier on Eurylas and Brooke on HMS Shannon.
In fact the British reminded America who won the war of 1812 when their next decades of fiscal defence spending was on putting stone forts in every harbour on the east coast, as they could not afford to be blockaded by the Royal Navy ever again.
In short; Blockaded to bankruptcy, unable to invade Canada, loss of Navy, public buildings of Washington burnt down. Pretty big L.
Calling it a draw is like the Nazis trying and failing to take Moscow and being like it's a draw guys! no one really won this!
Americans are utterly unable to accept they were defeated.

Edit: ooooooft some feathers are rustled for the yanks it seems, so much so that they don’t have an argument and have to attack my comment history. That’s when you know you’ve won ladies and gents ! ����
Edit2: there is mountains of revisionist history that is taught to Americans my god

Pocket Tanks!? You can get it as a phone app, same as it ever was!
For those who don't get the reference, this is Hiroo Onoda, who was stationed on a remote island during WW2 and refused to believe that Japan had lost the war, so he continued holding out until they finally convinced him the war was over. Fascinating story with some troubling parallels to certain people today. Here is his book: No Surrender: My Thirty-Year War
Alright well let's not focus on the typical things found on subs like TD, r/incels, and r/cringeanarchy such as racism, sexism, religious discrimination, body shaming, xenophobia, homophobia... (basically the list goes on)
Instead of that, let's just focus on pure violence. How often, compared to banned far right subs, are there posts in chapotraphouse and LSC that advocate violence, and what is the typical response by the mods? Got any numbers on that buddy?
>and often say shit like we should kill cops
Ironically, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THE FINAL STRAW was that got TD quantiend. The little shits over there were celebrating an armed militia that was prepared to kill cops doing their job... annnnnnd the mods failed to remove the violent content.
n. A weapon, especially a firearm: troops bearing arms; ICBMs, bombs, and other nuclear arms.
Anything can be a arm. Including a pencil.
The theory behind the 2A is that the US would not have a central military, so there originally were 0 limits on what citizens could and could not own. Warships full of canons could be privately owned.

No. Methamphetamine literally is prescribed for ADHD and narcolepsy under Desoxyn. So here, get off your high horse and educate your self a little, ha?
My friend, they cost like at most £350 which is a very powerful version they get cheaper from there, and “installation” is just pick it up and shove it in your window, it’s like a 5 minute job at worst.
But how we think about time, how we interact with time, and the "importance" of time are ALL social constructs. This is a really interesting book on this idea.
Thus, both these statements are TRUE.

>It's probably collected from dns services or reported by reddit itself based upon IP addresses.
That's pure conjecture though. It could also just be looking at subscriber counts to national subreddits and going by that. We don't know.
How the data is gathered is more important than what it appear to show.
Having made an account with Statista, which annoyingly requires a business address, you then are referred to this site as the source:
https://www.similarweb.com/website/reddit.com
Which also doesn't give methodology and sources for its data, and at this point I don't really care enough to dig further into it.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it.
This is probably the best flash game I've ever played.
The creator turned into a religious nutcase and destroyed all of their music and games to appease god but thankfully forgot about Notdoppler which remains the only place available to play it.
Give it a shot - you won't be disappointed.
> Yeah but nobody actually seems to want militias
Because modern day, people want the government to be their daddy and give them everything.
If the people aren't willing to fight, then the war probably isn't worthwhile.
> transitive v. To adjust (a mechanism) for accurate and proper functioning.
A militia requires guns for proper function.
People actually think Google Translate is accurate.
For fuck sake, at least use a <em>real</em> German-English dictionary, written by Germans, rather than Google Translate which is incorrect 9 times of 10.
This is another good fictional account in the form of short stories by an anonymous NK author who was able to get this book to publishers in SK.

Here is a great book that goes into the benefits and major drawbacks of German military tactics. https://www.amazon.com/German-Way-War-Thirty-Studies/dp/0700616241/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2J0JQ0ZNDN2U3&keywords=german+way+of+war&qid=1551199580&s=gateway&sprefix=german+way+of+%2Caps%2C142&sr=8-1

There's an app for Summoner Wars, which is similar. I'm sure you are probably limited to a small set of decks for the free version.
No, whole grain old fashioned mustard. The kind you put on a brat.
> Yeah, and countless British colonizers coming to North America definitely isnt responsible for the almost complete extinction of Native American indigenous people in modern times.
and that's why we should stop ourselves from being invaded, yes. most natives can attest to the disastrous results of large scale invasion. thanks for proving my point.
>Read a book.
Even Donna Brazile, the interim head of the DNC during the elction said it was rigged. Yuo can read about it in her book here. https://smile.amazon.com/Hacks-Inside-Break-ins-Breakdowns-Donald/dp/0316478512/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1517010479&sr=8-1&keywords=donna+brazile
And here's Elizabeth Warren admitting it was rigged.
https://youtu.be/I8qBexfR3r4?t=1m20s
We all know it was rigged.
Okay, let's play "spot & price the figs"
Second row, third from right is a Shimakaze figure by Hobby Japan.

Poor James Garfield. Anyone interested in reading more about him and his unfortunate assassination should read <em>Destiny of the Republic by Candice Millard.</em>
