NEW: Quadruple amputee professional cornhole player accused of murdering someone before driving off in his Tesla. Dayton Webber, 27, who has no arms & legs and was featured on ESPN, is accused of shooting 27-year-old Bradrick Michael Wells during an argument. "Police say Webber was in his Tesla SUV when he shot Wells in the passenger seat," a local report from Fox 5 said. "He then pulled over and asked two backseat passengers to help pull Wells out of the car. They refused and got out of the car before calling the police." Webber then allegedly drove off with Wells' body in the car. It's completely unclear how Webber was able to fire a weapon, considering he doesn't have fingers. "It’s early in the investigation, but there’s no evidence to suggest anyone else was involved in the shooting and that he acted alone," said Diane Richardson, Charles County Sheriff's Office. Webber faces first and second-degree murder charges. Video: ESPN

@Kristin27532713 @interesting_aIl depends on the time period. by the late middle ages into the early renaissance, lowborn professional soldiers (esp those from the italian city states) commonly wore padding, chainmail and partial plate as we figured out how to reliably make high-quality steel at lower cost
English
@interesting_aIl Only the richest could afford full-body armor. In fact, most soldiers only had leather armor and those padded shirts. The poorer KNIGHTS - no truly poor man could be a knight since he needs to have a horse to be a knight and those are expensive - usually had chainmill and a piece
English
@LORDLJS @interesting_aIl if i catch you in worcestershire you'll catch the rifle
English
@SHTFSeries @interesting_aIl crossbows with massive draw weights could put heavy dents in armor but not incapacitate reliably. the key was to hook them off the horse and pin them down until they gave up. if you captured a knight the ransom was huge
English
@interesting_aIl Archers. Special arrows designed to penetrate armor. A longbow or a crossbow appropriately loaded, deadly to a knight. There are also other weapons other than swords, that were used to great effect against armored opponents.

@questionX12345 @TonyTozser @Ugo_KelechiPhD marx was categorically anti-protectionist as such measures separated the proletariat classes of nations from one another
English
@bot_shape @TonyTozser @Ugo_KelechiPhD Marx was morally against free trade. It looks like Cuba is living by communist principles.

It doesn’t have anything to do with the decades of crippling sanctions, blockades, political destabilisation, etc?
Dr. Maalouf @realMaalouf
This is what Cuba, the left’s socialist utopia, looks like after 65 years of communism. And of course, it’s all the fault of the United States, because socialism is good and America is bad.
English
@SMGamesOne @TonyTozser @Ugo_KelechiPhD with countries sure, but helms-burton has something to say about that
English
@bot_shape @TonyTozser @Ugo_KelechiPhD Allow me to remind you that Cuba free trades with most of the world, including my country.

@RealSamPitts @LilPota2 @katewillett ok so the path to capitalism is:
stability
a sense of bonafide representation among the people
public abundance of resources instead of hoarding
and social trust/optimism
i think we agree on a lot of things
English
I don't think it's that complicated.
Communism is a raw power play. It only takes a small sociopathic 1% of the population willing to kill everyone who stands in their way to implement it.
Whether is succeeds or not depends on how much support the existing power structure has.
If the existing economic system is run by corrupt shitbags, When the Communists come they get more tacit support from the masses and fewer people willing to kill and die to protect the status quo.
It'll never work in America because we have too much social mobility. Everyone who is capable of prospering in their merits is successful enough under Capitalism that we are more than willing to kill and die to protect the status quo.
If the commies ever try to do a real Communist revolution in America that overwhelms the ability of the police to preserve law and order, they have signed their death warrants because every normie with a gun in this country will immediately kill them in the streets on sight.

The reason there’s trash in Havana is bc there’s an oil blockade and Cuba has to prioritize hospitals for fuel over trash collection.

some people see this and think central planning is a good idea.

@columtyrrell Why are Irish accents funny? This is colonial shit wrapped up in bollox. Same fucking nonsense as laughing at 33 and a third while Brits talk like they are gargling Charlie’s balls. No one laughs at them. It’s the most base of “humour”
English
I’ve not seen anyone ever attempt multiple types of Irish accents. This shit is good. I approve of this shit.

@RealSamPitts @LilPota2 @katewillett and just to explain why europe could transition into capitalism despite constant wars in the late-renaissance-early-modern period, the balance of great powers in europe was so carefully maintained that it prevented these upheavals, mostly to keep colonial projects going
English
@RealSamPitts @LilPota2 @katewillett in conclusion communism is a cope for nations that never stood a chance at reforming into capitalism, but it's not their fault at all. if anything it's our fault. check out the platt amendment and the US occupation of cuba if you want an example relevant to this discussion

@RealSamPitts @LilPota2 @katewillett alternatively, the western world was indisputably unipolar while both the major communist powers USSR and China were horribly devastated by WW2 by the nazis and japanese respectively. industrialised early capitalist europe was hardly a peaceful place
