Not sure if “affluent” is the right word. The people there were absolutely fucked over, and the decision to raze the village was blatant racism. But it was only 225 people, and the vast majority were living in poverty; only a couple could even be considered middle class by the standards at the time. It was no Black Wallstreet.

Me before drinking lots of water: depressed
Me after drinking lots of water: depressed, but hydrated
I always felt this was one of the most unfair parts of childhood. You never just get in trouble once. If you mess up at school, the teacher yells at you, then the principal yells at you, then your mom yells at you later at home, and then your dad yells at you even later. It fucks you up.

Wow! After some self-examination I was surprised to discover that I actually have zero problem with anyone killing fascists, for any reason, and in any manner! I was also surprised to discover that I have a negative opinion toward anyone who thinks that’s a problem!

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•When did Jesus become a christian?
81·6 days agoDepends on how you define “Christian”. If you mean called himself Christian and recognized it as a distinct, and separate religion from Judaism, then never.
If you define it simply as “someone who believes Jesus was the Messiah and died for our sins” well then he was always Christian.

1·6 days agoI didn’t enjoy Lego Masters simply because of the host. I love Will Arnett, but he treated the whole thing like it was a joke and like he didn’t want to be there. I don’t know who told him to act like Lego was just a dumb, childish hobby, but it was insulting to the people working hard to make such amazing builds.
rather than any other hex game
Well, the first thing you should know is that C&C is NOT a hex game. So if you make hexagonal terrain, whoever is wanting the cake is going to be really confused.
That’s like making a Halo themed cake and asking is there anything you need to make it obvious other than zombies.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Has society or scientists ever solved definitively the Chicken and the Egg theory? Or is it just like a whose on first thing?
9·8 days agoPeople are confidently saying that the egg came first. But the answer really depends on the askers definition of what a “chicken egg” is. Is it an egg that a chicken hatches out of? Or is it an egg, laid by a chicken? If it’s the former, then yes the egg came first. If it’s the later, then the chicken came first.

I have to have a sacrificial task at work. I can juggle dozens of different projects, but only if I have an annoying one that sits and festers. The only way it will get done is if a different, more annoying, task takes its place.
Call them whatever you want, but this isn’t an actual statement from the TSA.

5·13 days agoThat’s not them turning on Trump. That’s them being so conditioned to cheer for anything they hear on stage that they’re just mindlessly cheering. You can’t honestly think they’re wanting to impeach Trump, come on man, there’s no way you’re that fucking stupid to believe that.
Hey. Let me tell you a little secret, if you take meds and they don’t do anything, but when you stop taking them you suddenly feel bad and go into withdrawal; that’s not a sign that the meds were actually working, that’s a sign that you weren’t prescribed medicine. You were prescribed an addiction. The medical industry LOVES prescribing addictions.
