lenstothepast.wordpress.com/2022/12/09/kne… Going through some old writings from grad school and thought I'd share something I did for an Early American History course a few years ago....probably one of the most fun assignments I had.

@sheshn94 Love the perfection myth bit. When I was writing my Master's thesis, my mentor told me "perfect is the enemy of good. It doesn't matter that what you write is perfect, it matters you have something to say." That one piece of advice changed my whole final year of grad school.

@sheshn94 Definitely! There are several instances dating back to the formation of the Early Church and it's integration into the secular Roman Empire, through the Reformation. We even see it in the US during slavery when people tried to justify racial slavery by using the Bible.

I took it too literally and thought John Lennon actually used the word simp bahahaha😂😂 You are absolutely right as well. And then when religion got integrated with the government in early Europe history (you probably know the time period better than I do because I know history is your jam) there could have been possible changing of interpretation of the Bible and Jesus’ story to have control over their people.

The Western governments should learn from China. Imagine a world where men faced the discomforts that comes with dating? Rather than spending money to rub one off to women online who gives no fucks about men's mental and emotional health? We can't blame cornstar women for this though. They don't know any better. It starts with us. As men. As LEADERS to step up. To hold each other accountable to build the confidence to put ourselves out there, face fear of rejection, and date. Our duty as men is to make society a better place.

@sheshn94 Had to throw a cheeky Beatles/Lenin pun in there when talking about that region lol but same here! We have so much to learn from other cultures/regions of the world. Not to make it too religious, but we in the West often forget that the "big three" faiths all started in the East.

@attackonzach96 Lennon who? 👀 Bro you’re so right. There is a lot we can learn from China other than banning OF. And I’m saying that as someone who leans more capitalist instead socialist/communist 😂

Broke out the classics this summer. Plugged in the old GameCube and gaming like it's the early 2000s.

@_RealTalkGaming Spring break is next week for me too! Looking forward to it

@attackonzach96 Might be sooner than that.. spring break is next week and I’ve got nothing but time 👀

I miss streaming.

Great night of hockey in our nation's capital!

Hooked up my switch to the TV for the first time since I got it almost five years ago.....I should have done this sooner

Another reason to go back. Really wanted to go in while in Paris for the Olympics, but ofc restoration was still months from being finished. Oh well, I'll get back there, my favorite city in the world.

It's hot af outside, but nothing can ruin the day with this view #PARIS2024

After spending 8 hours in JFK waiting for my actual flight, I think my new favorite pastime is airport people watching...

Waiting for my first flight in over 20 years, can't wait for the adventure that awaits....Paris here I come!

@assassinscreed AC 3 and relive the American Revolution through Connor's eyes for the first time.

If you could wipe your memory and experience one Assassin's Creed game for the first time, which one would it be?

Why was How the Word is Passed banned?! It should be highly recommended by schools as a good entry point to students curious about American Slavery and its impact on the United States

One more so you can clearly see the @acps_sup emblem on the door

@acps_sup this one of you guys? Parked in the unloading part of a disabled parking spot outside El Puerto in Waynesboro. I've seen some parking jobs before but this takes the cake

@focusfronting Idk who told you that. My wife and I served zero alcohol at our wedding as we've both had poor experiences attending weddings that had open bars bc it encourages irresponsible drinking. When we announced our wedding date, first thing we said was no bar and never had any backlash

@Dexerto Then why most places I walk into sell the small cans for 1.25 now??
