Are kids today so Vine-brained they don't understand headline syntax? The Weddell Sea just north of Antarctica.

What made Reddit worth using was Digg, a better link aggregator, turning to shit.
When the focus of Reddit also shifted to its users not the content, that was the start of its decline.
"Keeping people active on the platform" isn't the great thing you think it is when 1% of it was the good discussion you're remembering, and 99% of it was quoting canned response memes like a college kid in 2007 quoting Anchorman.
This is a game from the 90s my dude. Java was "The portable language".
Because in theory you know what the server is running on, and can optimise for that with C++, while supporting the front end on multiple architectures using one codename with Java.
Twitter definitely was not any attempt to emulate the function of SMS.
I can't tell if you don't know what SMS is for, or what Twitter was for.
Its just a surname used as a first name, one of America's cuter, more demure methods of cultural appropriation.
It's a comment made by a person who lives in a country where in living memory a small spark of resistance led to the eventual defeat of the most powerful empire on Earth.
"Almost impossible".
Sorry guys we didn't want fascism but the alternative was just, like, hard.
If only there were some unique way in which Americans were better prepared than most populations to deal with quickly resisting and overthrowing a tyrannical government.
Oh well.
In what sense was that not clear
Yeah ok bud, I'll let the Swiss know they can stop pretending to be a country now that France, Germany and Italy are unlikely to subsume them.
It is absolutely a foundation. Foundations dry and even crack but that doesn't bring the whole house down if you've built something on it. Which in Switzerland's case is insane rent (to keep the Italians out), mass armament (to keep the Germans out), watch making (to keep the French out), and cowbells (to keep one specific Dutch woman out).
Then you are incredibly wrong. Creating a siege mentality is literally one of the easiest tricks to make people bond and form a cohesive group. I'd say about half of Europe's countries exist in large part as "we're not English/French/German" as much as any real original common identity.
Where else would you succinctly say the Weddell sea is?
