I know this is unpopular, but it will always be unattractive for a grown man to play video games. Some women might be understanding or pretend like they don’t care that you spend hours playing, but they do. It is extremely unattractive to women and will never not be. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Lee was outnumbered significantly for the duration of the conflict, fighting an enemy with practically no material constraints and which was willing to import endless foreign hordes to invade the cradle of the Revolution (43% of the Union army was immigrant or first gen) Despite those overwhelming odds, he twice came within a hair’s breadth of winning an offensive victory significant enough to win the war, and for four long years won tremendous victories against invading armies In the 1864 campaign alone, Grant lost more men than served in the Army of Northern Virginia

The Overland campaign is proof that Lee was probably the best overall general of the entire Civil War

Nothing can travel faster than light because it's more accurately thought of as the speed of causality. If it could, then an event could happen before whatever caused it. That's time travel. That said, nothing can travel through space faster than light, but space itself can expand and contract faster than light, which is exactly what happens in a black hole. This is the idea behind the theoretical Alcubierre warp drive. The spaceship is essentially stationary inside a "bubble" of "flat" spacetime while the spacetime in front of it is contracted and the spacetime behind it is expanded. The spaceship doesn't move faster than light. The space around it does. The reason we can't build an Alcubierre drive despite the math working out is it requires a lot of negative energy. While the Casimir effect proves negative energy exists, to produce the amount needed requires exotic matter which doesn't exist, as far as we know. In quantum mechanics, the term "locality" is used to refer to the distance at which any event can influence any other event in a given span of time, limited by the speed of light. In the normal world that we're used to, nothing can influence anything at a distance in less time than it takes light to travel that distance. But in quantum mechanics, there exist phenomena such as entanglement, where two particles with the same origin have the opposite quantum state, but this state is fundamentally undefined (not because we don't know what it is, but because reality itself hasn't "decided" it) for both until one of them interacts with something and its "wave function" is collapses. When this happens, state of its entangled partner also becomes defined, and this happens instantly, no matter the distance, in apparent violation of locality. This would seem to imply that information is traveling between the two particles faster than light, but that's not really what's happening. Because particles have a wave function (wave-particle duality), their positions in space are fundamentally indefinite, and wherever they are in space is a matter of probability. When two particles are entangled, their wave functions overlap, so no matter how far apart they are, they're "touching" each other in some way. It might be easier to think of the two particles as both fully occupying all of the space between them, because they essentially are until their wave functions collapse and their positions become definite (this is called superposition). Even though wave function collapse happens instantly, this cannot be used to transmit information faster than light because there's also fundamental randomness to it. You can't know what state either particle is in until after you observe one and thereby collapse the wave function of the whole system (to "observe" in this context means to interact with it since it's impossible to measure anything in a quantum system without influencing it in some way). There's no way to "tell" a particle to be in one state or another, and thereby tell the other what state to be in.

She's back, and so are the classics.

Trump's convictions for those silly crimes in NY had zero effect on his support in the GOP primary. But why does it look different? The tldr is that you've been fooled by cross-sectional data.

Imagine being an Arab Muslim and having the audacity to call anyone else a colonizer.

Americans love banging on about the War of Independence. They’re quieter on the War of 1812. Here’s why. In 1812, America declared war on Britain. The plan was to march into Canada and annex it. Thomas Jefferson said it would be “a mere matter of marching.” It wasn’t. The Canadians sent them packing. Two years later, the British sailed up the Potomac. American forces collapsed at Bladensburg in what’s still called “the Bladensburg Races” because of how fast they ran. President Madison had already fled to Maryland. The British walked into Washington unopposed. They sat down in the White House, ate the dinner Dolley Madison had laid out for forty guests, used the President’s silver, then set fire to the building. Then they burned the Capitol, the Treasury and the Navy Yard. A freak thunderstorm put the fires out the next day. The British left when they were ready. It’s still the only time a foreign army has captured the US capital. You can see why it doesn’t come up much.
