Is Elder Scrolls V : Skyrim Peak Of Bethesda Fame !?

SecretlyHistoric · 2019-10-05T13:26:07+00:00

One of the things I love about Skyrim is that I can go months without playing, then pick it back up without trying to figure out where I left off. Other RPGs are more difficult to pick up again like that.

SecretlyHistoric · 2019-10-02T19:52:33+00:00

Another thing that can be done is turning off the NSFW option. That got rid of most of what I didn't want to see without having to change the home tab. It'll only work for one of the new communities though.

Not sure if you actually read the article. The professor was a woman who strapped the baby to her back. She was also walking around in front of the class and mother, actively lecturing. Any fondling would have been both difficult and visible.

SecretlyHistoric · 2019-10-02T00:43:47+00:00

Is there a way to not see the s/incel posts? I'm not subscribed to them, but would prefer to not see their posts at all.

Everyone seems to forget that moderation is the key. Eat what you want, just make sure it's in proportion.

I see that you're new here on Saidit. Please respect the Pyramid of Debate.

People leave each other for a variety of reasons. If the article had a quote from the wife saying that she left him because he had become overweight and lazy, that would be one thing. Her leaving might have been for a completely different reason. We don't know.

It sounds like you need a broker. The major carriers all provide brokerage services. Google fedex, ups, or dhl brokerage and start from there.

To be honest, this really galls me. It angered me when my university announced that they were opening a food bank.... in the same paper that they announced tuition hikes. Colleges and universities make millions per year while some students starve on their campuses.

Wow, nice picture!

Damn, I'm sorry. Having to go to funerals suck.

SecretlyHistoric · 2019-05-05T21:38:47+00:00

It got to the point where about every six months I ended up going to a funeral.

It's amazing how much they are "unintentionally" doing.

Good question.

In case you are interested in borderlands history http://inside.sfuhs.org/dept/history/Mexicoreader/Chapter8/borderlands/borderlandsch1.pdf

SecretlyHistoric · 2019-04-17T17:36:18+00:00

Not saying that at all. As a historian, I take information from other theories and speculations and their sources, then re-interpret it. For instance, I am working on a paper right now examining the motivation of France in entering the Revolutionary War. I've got dozen of both secondary sources (what other people have said) and some primary sources (What people at the time said) I use both to prove the topic of my paper.

New ways of interpreting old data are coming about all the time. Borderlands history is a good one to look at and is relatively new. Queer history is another. Nothing about the data is new for the most part- it's all things examined before. Now it is being examined in a new light.

SecretlyHistoric · 2019-04-17T17:18:33+00:00

So long as they are backed up with sources. It can't just be "Well I believe x because I believe x" Well, for anything but religion anyway. There's a lot of speculation and false information being spread around right now.

SecretlyHistoric · 2019-04-17T16:11:10+00:00

God, yes. It's like definition of shitposting.

Oh, I'm not saying that we don't need to constantly go back and re-evaluate the past. That needs to be done constantly to better understand who we are and where we came from. That being said, what we don't need is people going back and using history-sometimes incorrect history- to push an agenda or attempt to forget the past for moral reasons. https://thehill.com/capital-living/cover-stories/167475-revisionist-history-politicians-rewrite-the-past-to-suit-their-present

Hi derr, thanks for commenting! I'm glad you like the idea of this sub. Please note that all top level comments require source links.

SecretlyHistoric · 2019-04-17T12:20:27+00:00

Hi Wendolynne, thanks for commenting! However, your comment does not include any sources and relies on anecdotal evidence. Please consider this your first warning in this debate round.

SecretlyHistoric · 2019-04-17T01:13:47+00:00

Not really a reddit thing, not seen anything like this there. Maybe Neutral politics is close? This is supposed to a bit of a controlled venue for debate. I'm putting up a topic in the hopes of keeping some kind of focus- god knows our politics need some sort of focus right now. I'm hoping for learning and debate. If we can't even talk, how can we solve any problems?

You've got some good ideas though. I'll put up a commentary post, and perhaps a suggestions one as well. Thanks for commenting!

SecretlyHistoric · 2019-04-17T00:32:57+00:00

Welp, here we go.... https://saidit.net/s/PoliticalDebate/

SecretlyHistoric · 2019-04-16T23:53:40+00:00

What about a group like s/politicaldebate? Say that anything on the bottom 4 levels of the pyramid are flagged, and perhaps disable the ability to reply to those comments. Warnings are given to those who violate the rule. Three strikes and your out of the weeks debate. Try again next week. Every post or argument posed in the comments must have at least 1 source linked.

Just a spot for more in depth debate than on highly generalized meme posts. I'd love to see more debate, but when it is on posts this general it's hard to get a quality debate going.

SecretlyHistoric · 2019-04-16T23:44:31+00:00

But you made a claim as well, three actually. One about the president, one about the OP and another about the reaction of Democratics

SecretlyHistoric · 2019-04-16T23:20:10+00:00

Hey magnora7. Can we make a space specifically for political debate? I don't necessarily mind it being all over the front page, but a centralized sub might help foster more discussion. Make sure it really follows the pyramid of discussion and see where we get. Could have a topic of the week. Let people debate a topic for 7 days and see where it goes.

Not to prevent anyone from posting political stuff elsewhere, but just a spot for in depth discussion.

SecretlyHistoric · 2019-04-16T23:16:56+00:00

As a historian, no we don't. Forget the history and you forget the lessons taught by history.

I don't really watch TV. Sometimes I'll turn on a movie, but I'm more likely to read a book or surf the internet. So, pretty normal. I think.

SecretlyHistoric · 2019-04-16T13:31:35+00:00

Still an argument against the person, not the point itself. Take a look at the pyramid of debate.

SecretlyHistoric · 2019-04-15T22:43:10+00:00

Honestly, what does your comment have to do with the post? How is the US in any way connected with the fire in Notre Dame?

SecretlyHistoric · 2019-04-15T16:25:20+00:00

I agree. If you bring it up, bring your sources.

SecretlyHistoric · 2019-04-15T13:00:48+00:00

No problem. It's kinda oversimplified, but trying to explain the whole history of the illegal immigrant debate would lead to a novel sized explanation. Yay politics!

SecretlyHistoric · 2019-04-15T12:53:01+00:00

Essentially, there are a lot of illegal immigrants coming into the US. It's a problem politics have been fighting about for a while now. Some think we need to open our doors to them. Others think that they need to be stopped. The ones who want the open doors, liberals, go against federal law and declare their cities "sanctuary cities" where illegal immigrants wont be deported. Conservatives, who want to deport the illegal immigrants, threatened to move as many illegal immigrants as possible to the sanctuary cities. Liberals are now saying that they don't want that.

SecretlyHistoric · 2019-04-11T03:57:21+00:00

Ah, okay. Fair enough. I'm not totally familiar with this site, but based on the structure of the counters in the photos, it does seem to imply some sort of counter structure for a business. I'm holding out for the additional analysis and further excavation/restoration before making any judgments. Since these are just the news articles, its difficult to get a real sense of what the archeologists were really finding, not just what the media interpreted as their findings

SecretlyHistoric · 2019-04-11T03:20:01+00:00

How is that a stupid conclusion? Sometimes the obvious needs to be stated.

SecretlyHistoric · 2019-04-11T01:11:33+00:00

Women in Ancient Greece really had next to no rights. In some cases, they couldn't even attend public gatherings.

I know, right? There really is ruins under the water off the coast, and this is a pretty big find... but was probably ignored by alot of people because of the date. Oh well, once more analysis is done, it might gain some traction.

SecretlyHistoric · 2019-04-10T02:20:15+00:00

There was a good book, The Death of Expertise, that this reminds me of.

SecretlyHistoric · 2019-04-06T14:55:07+00:00

One every ten minutes? Wow. Total mood killer. The main reason I don't think a time limit on posting would work is that there are some subs with only 1 or 2 people actively posting, with others just commenting. I only get an hour or so free time with my current schedule, so I'd rather post a bunch in that hour, and check on it the next day. Not all people are that busy though, so perhaps it would work well.

SecretlyHistoric · 2019-04-06T04:21:09+00:00

I'm not sure if a limit of post per day per sub would work well. Each sub would need to be able to decide how much is too much.

SecretlyHistoric · 2019-04-06T04:18:53+00:00

Keep posting interesting links. I try to post 1 to 2 a day on each sub. More posts=more visibility

Gotta check the timestamps. I thought it was still closed when I posted. Sometime after, they reopened it. When I found out it wasn't still closed, I posted a retraction.

SecretlyHistoric · 2019-04-04T00:34:44+00:00

I stand corrected. I just checked and its reopen again.

SecretlyHistoric · 2019-04-04T00:33:39+00:00

Nope. It's now a closed community. They commented on the thread and reemphized that it was not a joke

SecretlyHistoric · 2019-04-03T16:35:42+00:00

They also came right out and said that it was not a joke in one of the comments

SecretlyHistoric · 2019-04-03T16:24:08+00:00

I feel like this needs more attention.

If done correctly, legalizing prostitution could be a good thing. Mandatory health checks, psych evals, etc. Could make this a safe practice.

This one has a paragraph about how there was so much plastic that underground replenishment of the ponds and lakes was being hampered. Cleaning up the lake and lake beds, the planting trees around the pond helped the water come back.

Yeah, it doesn't go into much detail, does it?

I definitely don't see it as a problem. I thought it was actually pretty cool, an liked that it promoted science. They were translated into a few languages as well. That's why I put it under GoodNews.

Interesting. Do you think that a general subsidy on fruit and veggies might have an impact as well? Many people, especially in the lower classes, have problems affording fresh food.

Hey All! Coursera's class on Greek and Roman mythology starts today. It's free to audit the course, and it's a good primer for those not well versed in Greek or Roman myths. You can still register a few days after today.

Pygmalion is definitely one of the more interesting myths. There are quite a few ways to interpret the original myth! The 'creation from the hands of man' theme seems mainly to predominate in stories of horror or dystopia, despite the fact that the Pygmalion doesn't really have elements of either. Makes one wonder if we've become more jaded.
