I took German in High school… 25+ years ago. Never got fluent and never used it after that. Now I see the memes and find myself picking out words I remember to find the funny.
For real. Once you are a billionaire, with even the most basic investments, you have to try REAL hard to become broke again. Spare money begets money. Spare dragon hoards begets dragon hoards. Any bitch baby billionaire whining about taxes can kiss every single asshole of single working parents, people struggling to cover student loan debts, people who perpetually rent because they can’t afford a home with a lower mortgage payment than there rent is, and every person who got ill and lost there job and home as a result. They don’t need more dragon hoards. They’ll be just fine.
Ok, I know Marx was a contemporary of the civil war and wrote about it but every time I see him with a sensible take on it I’m just like “aren’t you in Germany then and it’s a massive pain in the ass to cross the ocean at the time. Why are your takes so sensible”
Marx sent a letter to Lincoln, and Lincoln’s staff responded via Ambassador Adams. It’s a really interesting moment in history that’s been buried by US Red Scare ideology.
from wiki on Adams:
Part of his duties included corresponding with British civilians, including Karl Marx and the International Workingmen’s Association.[7] Adams and his son, Henry Adams, who served as his private secretary
Oh man that would be a fun tidbit for conservatives when they try the old “accckshully Lincoln was a Republican who fought to free slaves so it’s the Democrats that are the racists!”
“Ok, so how do you feel about Lincoln working with Karl Marx, you know, Mr.Communisim?”
Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief. Now, insert your recreation rod into my receptacle.
After Camus and Sartre, I threw in some random Cicero (first half) and then something completely random (second) because I should hate to be predictable.
In my headcanon, Q squished Nagilum between his metaphorical fingers for being so impotent as to kill a life form on a whim without possessing the capability or forethought to restore them (for further amusement). Then he brought Ensign Haskell back who rotated out to a new assignment as Lieutenant.
