I think you might be defending a guy purposefully obfuscating the issue. Yes, my point is obvious and mocking, that’s generally how sarcasm works.

The American Civil war began with a Confederate attack on Fort Sumter. At the same time it was never established that you can opt out of the US, that’s generally not how countries work.

The Confederacy would not have happened if it wasn’t for fears of abolishing slavery.

Lincoln’s election provoked South Carolina’s legislature to call a state convention to consider secession. South Carolina had done more than any other state to advance the notion that a state had the right to nullify federal laws and even secede. On December 20, 1860, the convention unanimously voted to secede and adopted a secession declaration. It argued for states’ rights for slave owners but complained about states’ rights in the North in the form of resistance to the federal Fugitive Slave Act, claiming that Northern states were not fulfilling their obligations to assist in the return of fugitive slaves.

It was “states rights for me but not for thee”.

Why were the slave-owning states the only ones “rising concerns” around “federalism”? A curious coincidence indeed

The American Civil War was fought over slavery, not independence in terms of foreign policy.

That’s “I Love Amy”, isn’t it?

Well, now that I look at her pf picture that seems to be the case, although it doesn’t answer any of my questions

Source? This is cropped exactly so that you don’t see what the first guy/gal is responding to. Mighty sus

Who is attacking libraries and where? Did the first person just make that up? IDK

I’ll just use Firefox mobile with uBlock Origin then, literally anything is better than ads

Apparently the previous adaptation skipped and changed things.

Kraus - Pitch Fucker

Renard - Rainbow Dash Likes Girls (Stay Gay Pony Girl)

Susumu Hirasawa - Day Scanner

Too bad this site is too niche to have it’s own vore_irl

Why is a smaller version of the picture superimposed onto a larger, blurry version?

That’s a bit different, as in magnitudes more stupid (if true)

I blame all three + the driver again for buying this stupid fucking truck they probably don’t even need and won’t benefit them 99% time. But hey, it excels at killing children in driveways, so that’s something.

This but unironically. I want to be able to shape shift at will

I was thinking Mandalorian

It doesn’t get destroyed, it just splits into smaller things. Decay chains contain a number of reactions, which involve emission of a particular “particle”: alpha particle (helium nucleus), beta- particle (electron), beta+ particle (positron) or gamma particle (photon), accompanied by stuff like neutrinos and antineutrinos. Thus a radioactive sample “loses” mass and energy. You can also have nuclear fission, where a heavy nucleus splits into smaller nuclei.

This isn’t the full scope of nuclear reactions (there’s stuff like electron capture, proton/neutron emission, etc.), but it should explain the problem at hand.

Edit: obviously half-life doesn’t mean after that time sample shrinks in half, it means half of the original isotope remains while half has decayed. There would be lead and unstable decay products in the sample still. Radioactive isotopes don’t decay to nothing, they decay to stable isotopes.

It is a wish fulfillment fantasy most of the time, that’s why I really appreciate series which go out of their way to deconstruct that aspect of the genre, like Re:Zero or Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari. Especially Re:Zero, which shows what would actually happen if you put a shut-in NEET loser otaku into a fantasy world.

This is a way for shitty writers to justify infodumping in their story. If your main character doesn’t know shit about the world he just got put into, you can justify every other character dumping a huge load of setting and world building down his ear canal. Instead of, like, trying to mix that info naturally into the story, which also avoids the “as you know, John…” trope (where character A explains something to character B that they already should know), but requires effort and skill on the part of the author.
