This is why we need to teach people calculus. At the very minimum - derivatives.

Holy fucking shit why are so many online self-proclaimed history buffs completely unaware of the myriad of critical characterizations of the American Revolution that don't involve takes that sound like second-grade, red state, public school dialogs from a teacher who's spent the entire last week watching repeats of Hamilton?

"Fighting the monarchy! Fighting unjust taxes!". Get real. It was all about real estate, slavery, and genocide. Washington wanted everyone to have the freedom to sell the teeth of their enslaved.

"Revolution" is a funny way of describing bourgeois infighting between white landowners that ultimately culminated with the wholesale genocide of Native Americans.

The Kia Seltos and the Kia Telluride are both AWD vehicles that offer diff locks.

Why confuse the hell out of everyone with the AWD vs 4WD distinction when it really all comes down to having a diff lock? I feel like it'd be much easier to communicate and enforce a "diff lock only" rule.

  1. sustained elevated heartbeat is what gets you into shape. Aim for long slow runs over erratic runs with walking mixed in.

  2. if you are doing this as a lifestyle thing, I commend you. If you are an early riser, 5am runs are the way to go. However, find a running schedule that is sustainable. If you find yourself struggling to keep at the morning runs, adjust your schedule into one that allows you to be routine.

Best of luck

And they were right to try. Trujillo was a monster.

Edit: and also the invasion catalyzed the assassination of Trujillo

I mean, the $200 does encourage me to create a monopoly and simultaneously extract maximum wealth from my opponents while also taking their homes. Not sure if the monopoly analogy is useful here.

UBI is capitalists' best attempt at breathing life into capitalism. The benefits of UBI in the global north would still be at the expense of exploitation in the global south.
