Nailed it.
What the fuck. He was asked about the environment we're in and he said he always believed that hateful thoughts lead to hate words which lead to hateful actions. So we can't be surprised that when we have hate thought and hateful words that we see hateful actions.
How did he condone political violence?!? He just answered the fucking question!
RTFM is an obnoxious retort for people, arguably in community, not to engage with a member of the community. I don't mind reading the manual, but perhaps you can point me to where in the manual I could get further insight.
Reading a manual is also a skill. Being able to compartmentalize manual info into buckets of "obvious and I don't need to read on", "could be helpful", "interesting, but it gets there I ain't touching it" takes either training or just getting lucky after a certain number of reps.
This is, apparently, Shanin Blake. This is a picture from 2017.
Arguably, there's a lot to criticize her about, but her leading a carefree lifestyle and finding success in publicizing it doesn't seem like one.
I think she handled this brilliantly. I'd have only changed the last intrraction.
"No. I am only 24 weeks pregnant. Do I need documentation if I'm only 24 weeks pregnant?"
This shit fucked my head up in high school. As an American studying German, I did not expect fairy tales to be so ... This.
Don't suck your thumbs children.
The title of this post is misleading. She's not blasting her husband. She's wondering why she can't be content without these things.
The offset doesn't seem to really happen until 153 BCE as noted by the link. Numa, who ruled around 700 BCE, is is only reported to have made January the first month by Plutarch who wrote that in 43 CE.
The link get the gist of the issue correct, but sort of collapses the military issue into an extension of the Second Punic War. By 154 BCE, Rome had successfully expelled the Carthagenians from Hispania and maintain control of the region for 40 years. Local uprisings would occur and if the Praetor couldn't deal with it, the Cousulors would be elected and assigned the province to march to and deal with using their newly raised legion.
But the Celtiberian tribe uprising had grown sufficiently strong that it required some real effort. One of the Counsulors elected in154 BCE was to march to his province. He died eight days into his trip. This was a problem. We don't know what province he was going to, but it could have been one of Hispania provinces.
The other Counsulor successfully dealt with the uprising in his province, but had no legal right to go to another province with his legion. In July the election of the follow year's cousulors took place, but they wouldn't assume office until March 15th, the political start of the year. By December it became clear they needed troops in Hispania like yesterday.
So the senate moved the start date of the year, both civic and political, to January 1st.
