A slave would have been lucky to be sent to North America. The alternatives, the Caribbean, South America and the Middle East, are some of the worst forms of slavery ever seen on this planet. Also in NA people were paying 10x more for an African slave than an Irish slave.
North America only received about 15% of the total human 'cargo' of the slave trade, yet we are the only ones who are guilty because of that.
To be fair that part is, sort of, in the book.
A cold voice answered: "Come not between the Nazgul and his prey! Or he will not slay thee in thy turn. He will bear thee away to the houses of lamentation, beyond all darkness, where thy flesh shall be devoured, and thy shriveled mind be left naked to the Lidless Eye."
A sword rang as it was drawn. "Do what you will, but I will hinder it, if I may."
"Hinder me? Thou fool. No living man may hinder me!"
Then Merry heard of all sounds in that hour the strangest. It seemed that Dernhelm laughed, and the clear voice was like the ring of steel. "But no living man am I! You look upon a woman. Eowyn am I, Eomund's daughter. You stand between me and my lord and kin. Begone, if you be not deathless! For living or dark undead, I will smite you, if you touch him."
Just an aside, looking this up in my 1965 copy of Return of the King, reminds me just how good the writing in LOTR is. People just dont write in this manner anymore, and it makes the products of our modern day "intellectual" class look sophomoric in comparison.
Same, Anthony was one of the few people over at LTT who actually knew what he was talking about. Dude even has a video where he goes over TempleOS in a fairly in depth and respectful manner. Real shame to see another victim of the troon death cult.
Welp time to fire Stellaris up again and commit some galaxy scale war crimes.
She thinks I'm crazy, but I'm just growing old
-Hey Nineteen by Steely Dan (1980)
One of the worst things this modern society has done is convince the young that there is nothing worthwhile to gain from listening to the generations that came before them. They have been convinced to discard ideas simply because they are 'old' and from the past. Therefore, every subsequent generation has to learn that hard earned knowledge all over again at quite the cost.
Interestingly enough, guillotines have been used to do work in space before. In fact the Apollo Lunar Lander had what was called the LM Interstage Umbilical Guillotine which used an explosive charge to sever control and electrical cables that connected the descent stage to the rest of the Lunar Module. This was used to reduce overall weight for the return ascent from the moon's surface or in the event of an abort during landing.
Also this champaign socalist's poor understanding of physics means she fails realize you don't need gravity if you can simply provide a 9.807m/s^2 acceleration along the correct axis.
The counter argument to that (not my counter argument but one that the absolute pro-life side will make) is why should the baby be punished based on the nature of their conception? Rape and incest is bad obviously but the baby had no part in that, so there is no need to punish the child for the sins of the father.
Again not my argument, just one I have seen the pro-life side make.
To demonstrate proficiency, students were asked, among other assessments, to show an understanding of the US Electoral College system.
Not surprising seeing as the left wants to eliminate the EC system and move to a strictly popular vote.
They should also “be able to discuss ways that citizens can use the political process to influence government,”
Silly citizen, only corporations and Super PACs are allowed to influence the political process.
Most of their men of substance and courage died in the first world war. The second finished off the remainder.
Don't use closed-source, web/cloud based password managers.
Whether you agree with it or not (I do, fwiw) someone ringing your doorbell isn't grounds for you to shoot them.
Standard thing to do before attempting to break into a house, ring the doorbell to see if anyone is home.
This story smells like there is a lot more to it than the race-bating MSM is letting on.
In classical Latin the 'c' sounds is always pronounced as a 'k' sound, so the Romans would have pronounced it as 'Mack-edoinia'. Due to linguistic drift Latin-derived languages have softened the hard 'c' sound into more of an 's'. English, though not a Latin based language, also borrowed this convention.
So in truth both are correct.
Was it ever a true friendship in the first place?
A friendship based on 100% agreement on every topic was never a friendship in the first place. They were just waiting for the chance to stab you in the back over the slightest perceived 'injustice' for social credit.
Glad to see you call it Ayers Rock and not that Ululululuru garbage.
As my grandmother used to say 'she could eat corn though a picket fence.'
Considering Bido spends about as much time at his retirement home as he does at work I'd say its probably at least as many times off the record as on it.
He who is not angry, whereas he has cause to be, sins. For unreasonable patience is the hotbed of many vices, it fosters negligence, and incites not only the wicked but the good to do wrong.

The WNBA has lost, on average, $10 million a year since its inception. For the 21/22 season they lost something like $20 million while the NBA brought in about $10 billion.
You can't even buy the broadcast rights to the WNBA, when you buy the rights to the NBA you get the WNBA as a free addition. Both the Oxygen Network and the Oprah Winfrey Network dropped the WNBA broadcast license the minute they were able.
The number one demographic for attending WNBA games is >35 year old men with their <18 daughters. Strangely when those girls grow up they would prefer to watch the NBA over the WNBA.
The WNBA is a charity service, without the NBA it wouldn't exist. Listening to the WNBA players complain about the 'pay gap' is laughable. They should be thankful to have a job.
There's a whole mostly empty universe inside of me...
Unintentional self-awareness.
"These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption"
2 Peter 2:17-19
Paul Scofield's delivery of those lines is perfect.
Yep the law requires the board to comprise of AT LEAST 40% women. 100% women is maximally diverse.
The way I have it set up works using two plugins and the Kindle's serial number.
Need to install DeDRM plugin: https://github.com/apprenticeharper/DeDRM_tools/releases/tag/v7.2.1
Configure that with your Kindle's serial number and install the plugin KFX Input, which you can install from inside Calibre itself for the automatic processing of the ebook DRM.
Then I usually convert the azw3 file to a EPUB automatically with KFX. Just go into your amazon digital content section and under 'more actions' select 'download and transfer via USB.' Drag and drop the file into Calibre, or from the Add Books screen, and it should automatically process the book into whatever file format you want with KFX Input.
In the process of writing up the instructions for you I noticed that Amazon recently change their 'download and transfer via USB' function to not work for Kindle Unlimited, which was a big reason I used that subscription service. It still works for content you have purchased it seems. A bit annoying but I have downloaded almost 500 books from the Kindle Unlimited for only about $60 total.
If you don't have a Kindle you can do the same using the Kindle reader for PC, but you need to download the specific version 1.17 from other sources as the newer versions don't give you the awz3 files directly. Then just drop in the ebook file to Calibre like above.
Hope that helps.
Take control of your ebook collection.
Even allows for circumventing of Amazon DRM.
Looking at congress its about 20% veterans.
Every day makes it more obvious. Get out of the cities.
The left wants the party of 'graceful losers' back. Fuck that. Its time to stop losing.
