No ironically it has far more to do with being colonized than colonizing, although when you go that far back the distinction between terms like English, Norman, or Anglo-Saxon get a little fuzzy.

It also wouldn’t be possible to prove heliocentrism until the invention of the relatively advanced telescopes of the 16th and 17th centuries.

“People are smart, they can handle it.”
“A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it.”
**I do want to nit pick at the above quote and point out that 500 years ago everyone knew the earth was round, though heliocentrism was the new hotness.
- Comment on I was the only one who thought this of Erica Ortega was non-binary or trans? 1 day ago:
What made you assume that? Because she has short hair? She used feminine pronouns the entire time and they never made mention of her biological sex.

What does it mean to be alive? And how do you know that something is or isn’t?

What if computers are sentient and we’re torturing them too?

Why do you think it’s disgusting and immoral?

But the Cubs won a World Series, so, worth it.
- Comment on Is there anyone or any part of the Trump Regime that is not actively bowing down to him? 2 days ago:
What do you mean by “Trump Regime”? The cabinet? If so, then no. The American government in general? Then yes.
- Comment on Put your seat back or no? 3 days ago:
I never put my seat back. I think they should take that feature out of airplane seats entirely.

Roses are black
Violets are black
Everything is black
Oh god I’ve gone blind
- Comment on What are the solutions to doomerism, and that "can't find love" feeling that I've been seeing on Twitter (specifically a frontend)? 5 days ago:
Read history. You’ll realize that everything new is kind of old, things have been bad before, things have probably been worse before, and most importantly people have made things better time and time again.

Excuse me it’s sexual orientation not sexual preference. The latter implies a choice.
- Comment on Why do movies and tv shows show beheading or allude to it in one fell swipe? Unless it is comic book sharp there is no way you can do that in one swipe with out at least a little bit of more cutting. 1 week ago:
With a heavy enough axe it’s most definitely possible.
- Comment on Is there a way I can get someone or some company to get me books that are illegal in the US? And if so how would I go about it without losing half or all my money? 1 week ago:
So your question is “how do I buy an out of print book” not “how do I buy an illegal book”

It’s available on Amazon to me in the US.

That’s because it’s out of print. You can buy the Kindle version for $2.99 on Amazon or you can buy a hard copy on eBay but it’ll cost you a pretty penny.

There are no illegal books in the US.
- Comment on Why are some things heavier than others? 1 week ago:
At that scale what is and isn’t “empty space” gets a little hazy.

Or Goo Gone. That stuff smells great and works even better.
- Comment on Do young people still say words like "taped"? 1 week ago:
I’m old (37) and I don’t even use the word “taped” anymore. And what context would it be in? Entertainment is all streamed on-demand nowadays, nobody is worried about preserving a broadcast for later. The closest thing I can think of would be a VOD of a livestream.

This is what frustrates me. The Avatar universe has the bones to have some amazing lore and world building, but really missed on execution.

- Comment on Cultural impact 1 week ago:
The pacing of releases was whack.
Too long between 1 and 2, not long enough between 2 and 3.
I also heard that 2 and 3 were basically the same movie, and that they weren’t even that good.
