This was before the long drop method of hanging, which results in a broken neck and quick death, was used. It was strangulation by their own body weight.

Highwaymen would have been hanged, but highway robbery is not in itself a treasonous act so where do you see that such criminals were hanged, drawn, and quartered?

Watch out! There was this one guy who thought he was the chosen one a long time ago, and some wild shit happened when he was 33.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they were just never collected. He would pass the drawing to an officer who would then use it to devise strategies. They would then use it as a starting point for more detailed maps in the future and they would throw it away when it outlived its usefulness.

I mean it depends on what happens in your 20s. For me, my 20s were very real and weren’t just transition years due to my overwhelming medical issues and how much of it I had to go through on my own. I had to grow up (more than I had already) really quickly because if I didn’t i probably would’ve died.

It really would be a way better direction for the MCU movies rather than yet another Various Superheroes Save the Universe Again story arc. Kirby and Lee were Jewish-Americans watching for years as the Nazis came into power, created these Hitler-punching superheroes as a way to process their horror -- and then they themselves get drafted into that war to help fight it first hand.

EDIT: Accidentally wrote Ditko was Jewish and went to war (wrong on both counts), removed.

I'm about to be 25 and honestly already feel that. I can't believe I'm approaching the age I've always wanted to be -- the age of the people I've always interacted with -- and yet I still have that lingering of feeling "younger" that's really weird.

And they’d do that for petty crimes like highway robbery. Read the Newgate Calender.

From his IMBD trivia page: https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0456158/trivia

Jack Kirby was famous for being as tough as his characters. For instance, when a gangster was shaking down Kirby's boss, Will Eisner, to take his towel service, Kirby charged in to throw the gangster out. When Kirby created Captain America with Joe Simon, Nazi sympathizers once gathered in the lobby of the office building where the pair worked to threaten them. However, when upon hearing that Kirby was heading down with his sleeves rolled up to physically confront them himself, they fled before he arrived.

If you were Frito-Lay, and one of your employees wrote a book that became popular about how he invented a product while he was a janitor, and because of the book, your sales of that product increased, maybe you wouldn’t care to correct the story?

Apparently. It's similar to how the Egg McMuffin was invented. A Tex Mex restaurant in Frontierland added them to the menu after someone suggested they fry and season the leftover tortillas instead of throwing them out. Fritos didn't find out about them until a few years later, and then they started mass producing them when they realized how popular they were

At least that's the story, I'm not a Frito Lay historian

I see more and more white hair each time I look in the mirror, but I'm fitter and more dangerous as a sportsman at 40 than I was when I was 30.

TIL the USCG has it's own passport system. TF is this nonsense

They're making a movie about this guy like it's an original story, but the Doritos thing happened in the 60s and is a well known true story. Has there been an inspirational movie made about the discovery of Doritos?

“The U.S. Army takes training seriously and prioritizes the safety of our soldiers, our allies, and civilians. We sincerely apologize to the business and its employees,” the US military said in the statement. “We always learn from these exercises and are fully investigating the cause of this mistake. We will implement rigorous procedures to clearly define our training areas and prevent this type of incident in the future.”

I mentioned Wilson as a step towards Republican/Democrat realignment. The alignment wasn’t purely a civil rights thing, it was also about coalitions. And he laid some important foundations to what became the administrative state and progressivism. He did some horrible stuff & “progressive” doesn’t always mean correct (eg eugenics was considered a part of the progressive movement at the time), and it’s not something we should honor. I only mentioned him as part of the coalition shifting. It shouldn’t be surprising that a racist Democrat (who also did things for the administrative state) was a bridge between the two eras.

As for post-Nixon, when I say “gradual” I mean that we’ll into the 90s and even 00s, there were still conservative Southerners that identified with Democrats. I agree they weren’t pushed out & I didn’t say the people were. It’s the ideas that were the inconsistencies in the coalitions. As everyone sorted more, the parties became further and further polarized, culminating in the South becoming deep red in places it used to be deep blue.

God is a tripod apparently.

Buttplug Buttplug Buttplug Buttplug Buttplug Buttplug Buttplug Buttplug ... Yep! Works for me!

If I ever have an electric car, this will be the sound it makes.

Maybe it's because of what society expects from us. If you're 12 you can already do a ton of things on your own but every adult just tells you what you can't do and is looking down on you as if you know nothing at all. At 16 you probably think most things that are restricted to adults you can handle just fine at age 16 and so on. Then when you're like 35 your boss will expect you to always treat every situation professionally eventhough many times you don't feel prepared to do so at all. The older you get the more likely the chance any person you meet at any given moment is younger than you and they will look up to you as if you know better, because you're an adult and more experienced.

Thank you for this affirmation. I will admit that your willingness to share your status as the Chosen One proves, beyond reproach, that you are clearly The Chosen One.

Imagine being so unaware you are the only one thinking this has anything to do with black people. Says a bit about you don't it?
