I picked up American Prometheus after watching Oppenheimer. It's very interesting and gives a really good idea of who he was throughout his life, and how he changed over time. One of the things that isn't depicted much in the movie was how much of his political views changed over the years. While he never officially joined the communist party, he was certainly communist-adjacent before the war, but during the war and after, his priorities seemed to shift to being pro-American first and foremost, and often took the establishment position on things. Of course it's more complicated than that, but I've found it very interesting how someone's life experiences can change them.
On my to read are some historical accounts of WWII, i've suddenly become interested in learing everything I can about this period of history that I only know the basics of.
Probably not from Gamers Nexus' side of things. Their video is very professional, and focuses on the damage done to other companies featured on the channel, and challenges LTT and LMG to be more professional. They also said in their followup that they won't be making any more videos on the topic, their goal was to raise awareness, and now it's LTT's responsibility to decide what to change, if anything. Is LTT playing it up as drama? Maybe, but I think it's more likely that they want it treated as drama rather than legitimate criticism so that they can ignore it and move on, rather than to increase attention/ relevance.
"We want a business where a union isnt needed" is a massive red flag. Kroger said the same to me at an employee orientation in 2016, at the time their starting pay was 7.75 and working pressures massive, as I'm sure they still are.
Another tasty little tidbit I just learned after reading the wikipedia for the RICO act: Trump's team should be very familiar with it because Rudy Guiliani used it in the 80s to bring down a bunch of New York Mafia guys. It's apparently fairly easy to argue RICO in court because you just have to prove a pattern of behavior.
Very good analogy. Questioning Tom Bombadil's role in Middle Earth is the reason Tolkien included him, in my mind at least. The reader sees him as mysterious, mystical, alien, and seemingly detached from the world around him. And we try to fit him into the rest of the world, but not everything fits into nice little boxes. Some aspects of life will always be unknowable. The same goes for history and myth, which Tom seems to be very related to.
Well the nazis were already in power by then. And it was less of "infighting that destroys each other" and more of a "complete purge to consolidate power". So i hope we never get to that point
Usually a sausage ragu and Brian Lagerstrom's foccacia. Honestly the foccacia is the real star, I make it for every guest the first time they come over for dinner, even the 2 hour version is delicious. The dough requires a little bit of work but it's straight forward and I've never had a bad result. Main course just needs to be something Italian or Italian adjacent that doesn't need the oven, since I try to have the bread ready a few minutes before serving. Ragu's a staple for us because you really just need five ingredients (pasta, crushed tomatoes, onion, garlic and italian sausage) and it's mostly just sitting around waiting for things to cook, so you have time to talk to your guests.
That is technically what the amendments are, but it's so much harder to push an amendment through congress than it is to just argue that the constitution already agrees with what you want to happen
Most americans have no thoughts related to france owning northern africa. I know the joke is that algeria is independent now but most american never knew france ruled that region at all
When you've got an outdated document as the backbone of your whole legal system, you kinda have to re-re-interpret everything, no matter what. Originalists tend to be pretty conservative, it's just a method of thinking that allows conservative lawyers/judges/legal people to slap some legitimacy onto their interpretations. It's an alternative to the modern (centrist) interpretation of law in the US, which has in recent years allowed for things like gay marriage. However the flavor of conservatism is very "traditional" compared to the modern alt-right, meaning they are also often anti-trump.
