Yet somehow manages to be even more cringe than Squall, which is quite the achievement.

It’s a decade old lol.

Rattlesnake in the wild, thanks to an insane ex-military Scout leader I had that was trying to prove a point to us (his Scout troop).

It was actually a lot better than I expected, but I wouldn’t recommend it for a number of (hopefully) obvious reasons.

Considering that it was more concentrated, and also more thoroughly destroyed in a single act, potentially yes. Unfortunately we don’t really know what was contained in the BHoW, but that could be said for the LoA as well so that’s a moot point.

Sorry to be the one to break this to whoever still believes this:

The main myths surrounding the Great Library of Alexandria are that 1) it was just one enormous library 2) containing a half-million or more scrolls full of ancient knowledge that was 3) sensationally destroyed in a senseless act of vandalism.

Problem is, there’s no hard evidence to substantiate any of that nonsense. There are so many fantasy accounts of the “Great Library,” its founding, its contents and its destruction that we today really do not know how much of it is true and how much is revisionist bullshit. But we’re pretty sure most of it is revisionist bullshit.

It’s more likely that the “Great Library of Alexandria" was actually comprised of two or three (or maybe more) small “libraries,” which were just limited collections of scrolls and reading rooms associated with various Greek temples. These were all part of the larger Mouseion (a scholarly Greek institution honoring the 9 goddesses of the Arts, aka the Muses), which had branches all over the Greek world at the time, all the way back to Athens.

The Greeks were also famous for making multiple, multiple handwritten copies of any literature they encountered, such that the scroll collections at Alexandria probably existed as duplicate copies elsewhere all across the Greek world. So, it would be virtually impossible to destroy the collected knowledge of the Ancient World by simply destroying one “library" in one city.

Furthermore, the alleged fiery destruction of the “Great Library” has undoubtedly been blown out of proportion for millennia, right up to the present, by opinionated pseudo-historians attempting to assign blame for one heinous act that may not have even happened. The fact is that nobody knows how the Great Library (or several small reading rooms) of Alexandria came to an end. Very likely, it met the common fate of most libraries throughout history…a gradual decline of interest and eventual extinction due to lack of funding.

Haha good stuff ty.

There’s probably an XKCD about that.

Are you insane? “you canadians” lmao, yes I went to Africa myself and attacked these people, what country are you from exactly? Are you personally responsible for every thing every company of your country ever did?

What. Is. Your. Motive? Stop dodging the question, why are you attempting to defame the entire country of Canada and all its citizens?

edit LMAO judging by your post history about American politics, you’re American aren’t you, how the fuck do you sit there and judge Canada for the actions of one corporation, your entire countries corporate history is drenched in international blood, what a fucking hypocrite.

Don’t dodge the question.

No there was one, literally one comment chain.

The rest is mostly Americans screaming about Canada to make themselves feel better about themselves.

https://lemm.ee/comment/5632652

This seems to be the only comment chain that actually explains it, the rest of this post is mostly Americans bringing up every crime and misdeed that Canada has ever participated in or even is connected to.

Sorry you got downvoted for bringing up the point of the original post, which was the title and linked image, everyone else on their hate parade and is too busy.

Compared to the US which is loudly doing bad things constantly.

Yes this is definitely all of Canada doing this, not a corporation.

Do you say things like this when a company from your home country invests in a troubled region? Is it their government and peoples that you hold at fault? Or is this a problem with capitalism, and you have some motive to disparage Canada as a whole for the actions of a few rich assholes that the average Canadian would gladly have arrested for these actions?

What is your motive here, exactly?

I love how most of the comments in this thread completely ignore the context of the post, and instead are “Canada bad!” posts that seem to delight in bringing up every horrible thing the country ever did.

Also don’t forget the good old Shotgun / Trenchgun, which was seen as an unfair weapon in trench warfare as there was no answer to it in close range and tight corridors.

Germany literally banned the use of them, Germany.

What does that have to do with the Geneva conventions?

“Pushback”

You lunatics need to calm the fuck down, you alienate anyone that doesn’t fall into your ridiculous hivemind with personal attacks and toxic behaviour.

Literally quibbling over semantics and it immediately becomes personal and hateful.

I am done with all of you, there is no discussion only vile behaviour.

Do you literally not see how doing it incidentally is worse?

They literally burned the planet down just to make more money, it wasn’t even a calculation to them, they had to do this for the sake of money.

Some evil villain insanely plotting in a mountain lair didn’t destroy the planet, there wasn’t a league of evil wearing flashy costumes, it was a bunch of “normal” people wearing grey suits, sitting in an office soberly making these decisions because the money required them to, their entire business operation depends on it.

The real villain is money, and my real issue is being screamed and accused at for trying to point this out.

Step down off your high horse son, you have made a lot of strange assumptions about the intent of my statement and who I am, and they are all completely off-base.

Literally just pointing out that their goal was to make money, and they didn’t care about the results. Their goal was not to destroy the planet like some sort of cartoon villain, the real villain was chasing money. I am not pro-oil or trying to defend these assholes, honestly the fact that killing the planet was incidental damns them even more.

Seriously though you gotta step the fuck off with this hateful and off-base bullshit, you have totally alienated me so you could go on your “brave” rant, when I am literally on your side and not any of the things you described me as in any way.

Wake the fuck up and treat people like humans instead of spreading needless hate online.

Yes their goal was to destroy the planet, that was their reason for mining oil or doing business at all. What a shrewd observation you have made.
