AKA Pseudonym posted:I think most states require you to pick a party (or just go independent) at the time you register regardless of whether you intend to vote in a primary or not. the Presidents thread has a bunch of interesting stories of the stories behind how many presidents got elected. Before the primary system, sometimes they'd literally get chosen because there were two popular candidates and candidate number 3 didn't have any enemies.

Absurd Alhazred posted:Now that I think about it the issue is not just the copyright but the misrepresentation of old work as new. I don't know how common it is for academic journals, but I have for sure read history books that had chapters copied from the author's earlier work, with minor edits. Gave me a feeling of mad deja vu.

I like the Atlantic to laugh at David Frum. Beyond that I do like a lot of their articles and series but they don't do a ton of really in depth articles. Their article that reprinted a bunch of MLK's letters was cool though.

Phlegmish posted:It's not a very interesting and the state flags are even more boring, you should have gone the Liberia route. Hot take: The Soviet Union won the flag war as soon as they had that flag consisting of a bear tearing an atom in half. The US lost the flag war once someone thought the old Pocatello flag was acceptable in any way, shape or form.

Fascism also had Willpower as an actual physical force that could change the universe, thus why you'd always win against superior odds because you had THE WILL and they didn't. They weren't even subtle, there's a reason the infamous propaganda film is called Triumph of the Will. If the Ratte has all those problems, it doesn't matter because the pure Aryan WILLPOWER emanating from it's crew will make it invincible.

One of the books mention that all the purebloods in England are related to each other so yeah they're basically the Hapsburgs.

BonHair posted:I think Chinese has the fun thing where the syntax of certain "dialects" don't match the written language, but they still write sentences the same way, meaning you say the words in a different order than they're written. False, people write chinese how they speak it, which most of the time is fine because even if they're pronounced completely differently they're close enough grammatically that you can get the meaning in writing. The issue comes when there are specific characters only used in certain dialects or they use the same characters differently, meaning that the result looks like gibberish if you don't speak the right dialect. The communist government has tried to crack down on that with varying degrees of success. What you may be thinking of is Classical Chinese, which was the primary method of writing down Chinese until the 20th century, and was essentially unchanged from the Han Dynasty on, so imagine our written language for almost everything being classical Latin also there are historical and literary allusions within allusions, leading to a sentence 4 syllables long that references an even older idiom while playing on modern events. Like that darmok and jalad episode of star trek, but in written form. The end result was that by 1900, classical chinese looked absolutely nothing like how anyone spoke chinese but that didn't stop the late Qing use it for basically everything. There were legit fistfights in universities when professors tried to make vernacular Chinese writing a thing. Source: I'm fluent in Mandarin and painfully learned a few other dialects.
