I am a person online.
I don’t find it dishonest or inaccurate to say that crossing a border with troops and tanks and occupying cities constitutes an invasion, but I guess it’s a matter of semantics. As is calling a conflict with dozens of thousands of casualties a “minor skirmish”.
Image says “Has invaded since PRC was founded”, not “is occupying right now”, don’t try to change the terms of the debate when contradicted. You still could’ve made a point that China invaded much fewer countries than the US, but at least try to have an accurate map or the accurate words.
Immediately thought of Vietnam and Cambodia. OP really doesn’t know much history…
Because more people?
Wouldn’t make sense for the moon to be different than the god since it’s named after him (hence why they chose that name for a moon of Pluto, lord of the underworld).
Hitting that is considered a bad thing?!
No one said they did everything themselves, they don’t mind outsourcing !
The sun can also use souls as a comburant. It’s kept alight by the stores of sacrifices it’s accumulated over time. But sacrifices aren’t as common and the stocks are running down… Thankfully, there are some secret organisations handling this problem.
Thank you! This year’s even harder, but I’m hanging on!
As someone who’s not a developer at all and has been making a comic about systemd for a rather small audience, it’s worse than you think: We actually have stuff to do and procrastinate on them while spending time and thoughts in this, reading old blog posts and forum debates as if deciphering Sumerian epic poems. Many pages were made while I was supposed to be preparing for exams, which I barely passed. Others when I should’ve been cleaning up for moving. I think part of the reason why I haven’t made any in a while is that with a faithful audience being born and waiting for the next chapter, it’s started feeling like something I had to do, and therefore, the type of stuff I procrastinate on.
Poppy seeds are definetely also a spice tho. And coca is an herb, which I guess can also be used as a spice… Use of coca by native populations seems to have been mostly medicinal… But then again, that’s also how many spices were used until the 19th century.
Saffron is from a flower and is considered a spice tho. It might be the way it’s processed that makes a difference. Regardless, when talking of the East India Company, the spice trade, and how that led to conquests, tea is always an important part of that story.
“Herb” and “spice” aren’t mutually exclusive tho.
Tbf, wouldn’t coffee, tea, chocolate and sugar cane have been considered spices by then’s definition?
