  • Yeah, I think something like 15 would be the perfect “fuck you” amount for something beyond Starbucks and fast food. Enough to make it worth going, but only really enough for an appetizer.

    Or be really horrible and just take one of the 50 or 100 ones for a decent restaurant, and just don’t get it activated. He won’t find out until they try to run it, I think.

    This might be the most horrible idea I’ve ever had.








  • What a crazy context for this excerpt. Clear example of the depth of anti-semitism during this time period.

    It is “A Jew” telling a Christian boy where to go in England once he gets there. While the boy thinks the Jew is looking out for him, he is actually sending him to be butchered by the Jews in Winchester, which he characterizes as the most moral place in England after he goes on and on about the wretchedness of all the other places in England the boy might come upon. He gives the boy a note to show to the Jews in Winchester, “written in Hebrew” so the boy doesn’t actually know what it says. Boy gets to Winchester and does as told, then soon disappears. Clearly he’s been killed by the Jews, but why they had to go to so much trouble to get him to Winchester is unclear.

    Oh… Right… That’s because this is all made up by Christians desperate for reasons to get rid of Jews.





  • But our weapons now can kill millions in an instant, and millions more subsequently. Missiles and such a regularly guided by Playstation controllers thousands of miles away.

    Troy may have had a few thousand to massacre. We were more violent, but at least we actually had to face the violence we committed.

    Edit: I did not mean this as an argument against what you shared. I can see why it might be read as such. I only meant to add another aspect to the conversation.
