I didn’t know, so I had to look. That’s a bit of a rabbit hole, but it looks like the answer is Patrice de MacMahon, or maybe Adolphe Theirs.

If you’re talking more in abstractly in the sense of political ideology, it’s kinda tough to say. The government was less than a year old, fresh out of the imperial monarchy of Napoleon III, recovering from their losses to Prussia.

MacMahon was Napoleon III’s Marshal, it’s not a stretch to imagine he may have harbored imperialist sentiments.

Thiers was certainly more liberal, which only goes to reinforce my point that liberals aren’t inherently bad at revolutions. He was in the middle of his own revolution (again) and dissolved the Commune’s revolution in a month’s time.

You’d be right to take issue with the Bloody Week for other reasons, but you can’t say it supports the idea that liberals can’t do revolutions.

I see what you’re trying to say, but the French and American revolutions were both explicitly liberal.

Um ackchyually it’s the Marines and National Guard.

That doesn’t make sense. That makes horses apple trees not apples.

Is spliffbull, just as good as speedball, better even.

Potatoes are definitely apples. The French call them “pommes de terre”, apples of the earth. Ipso facto.

I will not be accepting questions at this time.

That '70s Show aired in 1998, 22 years after 1976, when it was set.

1998 was 27 years ago.

Right now it looks more like that’ll be a Musk project.

I use the opposite strategy, which is what I did on Reddit: browse All, and block everything that isn’t interesting. Sports teams, shows I didn’t care about, other niche communities. I prefer this approach because I like finding content I never would have thought to subscribe to.

Sounds like you need Ketchup, packed with natural mellowing agents.

Exactly, primaries are when you vote your conscience. General elections don’t benefit from anything but strategic voting.

I can see that, I made it more obvious

Oh I thought you were doing a Matrix reference

I wash one. I realize it’s the one I had popcorn in. I note I should clean that, too, later.

I think your friend had probably learned that if she just notes to clean it later, she will forget and it’ll never happen. I feel like there’s a sense of urgency you learn to develop, that the longer you wait between thinking of a task and completing the task, the more likely it is that the task will simply never get done, so you wind up jumping from task to task as you think of them.

Hmmm, maybe we can taunt Trump into repealing Citizens United

instead of bickering over why people are at the queer event and not a workers event

I see a lot of people in the thread interpreting OPs statements this way, but that just doesn’t seem like what they’re saying at all. They didn’t say anything negative about queer events, and they’re not asking why people are at them, or implying that those events should be less popular. They’re asking why workers rights events aren’t even more popular, considering their relevance to the vast majority of the population.

I distinguish between “go out” and “go [some specific place]”. The first one implies just leaving home to be elsewhere, the second implies going someplace specific for a specific purpose.

I like going places, particular places with particular people for particular activities. I have many interests and enjoy exploring them (although all my cool stuff related to those interests is at my house anyway).

I don’t like “going out”, arbitrary places with arbitrary people for no particular reason. My time is limited and I have many interests, if I have free time I want to spend it intentionally.

Me too, but I don’t really play a lot of video games, so I could list every game I’ve ever played pretty quickly.

Ignorance is bliss

He not only nailed it so hard no one else can play the role, he nailed it so hard he became synonymous with the role.
