Re: #6 prior to the invasions of the Angles/Saxons England was invaded by the Romans and a number of cities sprung up in the south populated by latin-speaking peoples. When Western Rome collapsed, the state capacity needed to maintain large urban centers went with it. The Roman inhabitants didn’t leave, though, but instead mixed with the local culture and the language dispersed into the general population of England.
At the same time the only thing left of Western Rome’s larger institutions was the Church, whose organization was inherited from Roman civic structures and who were the ones preserving written knowledge, which would be written in Latin.

Irish isn’t a race
Well, not any more, anyways.
I agree that seeing the current regional conflicts as the opening shots of WWIII is a bit hyperbolic, but I also think a much better comparison is the Balkan Wars of 1912-13 and the related July Crisis considering how the major powers are being lead through proxy conflicts into “a series of interrelated diplomatic and military escalations.”
Shout out to California’s gun laws only existing because of the Black Panthers.
If we learned anything from COVID, all we have to do is tell them that “Liberal Elite “””DOCTORS””” don’t want you using this home-grown remedy!”
Further legal issues loom for Hudson, who is dealing with separate charges of stalking and harassment in Seattle. These new accusations stem from a violation of a suspended sentencing agreement out of Renton in 2022, which involved an assault charge after a confrontation with his mother because she wouldn't make coffee.
You weren’t kidding…
Digital media of any sort, really.
but the Dems chose Hilary instead
Seems to be implying Bernie Sanders
I think what we’ll see is Biden’s support for Israel not so much making people more likely to vote for Trump as making them more likely to not vote at all.
(Which, in a 2-party system where one side ALWAYS falls in line behind their candidate, makes that side much more likely to win.)
And for the people who will choose to NOT vote for Biden over Israel, I think they’re likely more concerned with what Biden is doing rather than what Trump might do.
Though, as you say, it will definitely be worse not just for Palestine but for Ukraine and the world at large.
Our regularly-scheduled reminder that a far-right government took Germany from the most powerful country in Europe to the 5th-most powerful country in Berlin.
Hell, you can take it further back to the failure of Reconstruction and the resulting propaganda wave creating a massive reactionary base.
Do you think objectification is good and healthy?
Here’s exactly what you want: a feminist forum that’s specifically for discussing men’s issues (including sexuality) in a constructive and healthy manner.
See, that’s really interesting to me! The mainstream feminist spaces I’ve interacted with have been very sex-positive, so I’m curious how you’ve experienced this demonization.
Christianity I can understand, but would you mind explaining why you think feminism demonizes masturbation?
