Can’t find anything else on this game, and I’m pretty sure this article was written by ChatGPT…

Jokes on you! I’m hyper-focusing on that shit. Card games and board games are my jam.

I don’t have interest in prolonged discussion today, but I would like to point you to Wikipedia’s surprisingly good article on Abraham Lincoln and slavery.

I’ve found this quote from Lincoln to be illustrative.

“If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union.”

I also find the fact that the Emancipation Proclamation did not free slaves living in border States, but only States that seceded to corroborate this.

That being said, Lincoln had long been know to oppose slavery and supported its abolition.

So I haven’t seen any of what you are talking about, and I’m an avid consumer of NPR. I love that they generally avoid rage bait and present the news in a calm yet accurate manner.

That being said, I am open to being persuaded if you can present some solid evidence.

Yeah, the man literally had a show on RT. He’s problematic at best.

Reminds me of the Key and Peele sketch about Obama meeting with the GOP.

You stuck?

I'm personally curious to see how deep the replies can go on Lemmy. The app on my phone already crapped out.

I appreciate the take. It's not a great feeling to have "the side" you feel like you are on rail at you for trying to set the record straight.

It feels weird to say this, but I wonder if the "Tankies" from certain instances color Lemmy as a whole. If so, that makes me worried for the future of Lemmy. I really don't want this to be the Far Left version of The_Donald or Truth Social.

Let's back up for a second.

Can you definite what you understand "common sense" to be.

Also, do you think "common sense" varies between cultures?
