Here's another fun game you can play: drink a blackout stout, then immediately start playing jetty boot. After you black out, you'll continue playing the game, but in third person. My friends and I had a lot of fun with that one, lol
My favorite rebuttal to the idea that the Confederacy seceded in order to preserve States' Rights is this excerpt from the Confederate constitution:
Article I Section 9(4): No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed.
If states rights were so important to the Confederacy, I have to wonder why their constitution stripped the states of the right to abolish slavery in any capacity.
Technically, it stripped ALL legislatures of the ability to restrict slavery in any way, making slavery a permanent feature of the Confederate government.
The person in the comic is pointing out that the climate is constantly changing as a rebuttal to the idea that human-caused climate change is a real issue. The implication is that all climate change is natural and therefore we cannot combat climate change and shouldn't even try. It's a common tactic of climate deniers.
I have two brothers. My younger brother is pretty cool - always kind and talkative, even though our interests don't overlap much. He's like an extroverted friend who always engaged with you, even if you don't have much interesting to respond with.
My older brother and I barely know each other by now, but he seems to have invented a fictional version of me who he absolutely despises. Every time I see him, he gets quieter and quieter, and he regularly texts our mother with the most venomous insults and accusations he can sling my way. I've probably spoken fifty words to him in the last few years, but he's fully convinced that I'm an evil person working to slight him at every turn.
I wonder sometimes if I should talk to him directly and ask what's up, or if I should just write him off. Even my mother is confused as to why he's like this.
It's been years. How could you?
