yeah. It wasn’t clear in my comment but I wasn’t trying to say they where put down just for seceding (Though to Lincoln it was a way more important thing than slavery) but that they are the most notable case of states leaving the union and they got beat the shit out of, two separate things.

while no explicit mention of secession, the very act of the revolution and statements such as “…Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,–That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…” and "…When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another…"have been used to show the idea the founding fathers supported secession.

Only a handful of times has anyone in the U.S.A. seceded, though most of the times it was just to create a new states in the U.S.A. It was officially outlawed after the C.S.A. seceded and not much of any serious attempt has been made since.

People in the U.S.A. forget that “state” means a sovereign nation. Why are the “United States” not actually states? Taxes. Actually thats basically it. After what would be known as U.S.A. was founded, taxes where opt in. but the burgeoning central government was on the hook for all its international debts. and of course no state wanted to pay taxes…or did pay taxes. So they restructured and the “federal” goverment became superior to all states and its power has grown while states rights diminished. So yeah, in some ways wed be alot better if states where thier own sovereignty, and the founding fathers even put a stipulation that any state unhappy with the union can leave, but the last states to do that got the **** beat out of them and it was made illegal (CSA / Civil war).

TLDR; Founding states didn’t want to pay taxes, federal government was formed to collect taxes.

Bonus, you join army, army breaks you, tries to sweep it away but eventually your children get survivor benefits.

and fun fact, Some veterans can get free mental asylum and cremation. (My mom tells us when she’s over the hill, hand her to the va, they’ll stick her in a ward till she dies and then cremate her so we don’t have to worry) (My dads running plan is to work till he dies at his desk, then the army will bury him for free too)

Had a church ask us what brought us to the church. The cafe, popularity of the pastor, social meida advert, etc. We said to worshih god,

The home server never cheated on him and had a fling with windows

Alot more expensive, heated seats ate insulation and heating coils, pretty simple, ventilated seats are more expensive, and because they are more expensive and more requested they are a premium

I had a desktop with 16GB, never really went over 10, got a new laptop, runing win 11, 32 GB of ram thought it was way overkill, out of the box its running12-20GB, its crazy.

Fun fact, it’s not even the year of the snake yet…

psychosomatic. Heaters are expensive to run, but if I’m just running my pc, I “Have to” be running that so it doesn’t feel more expensive. I have heaters I just keep not turning them on until its too cold.

fair, I should be saying 0x709

I got a laptop for work, using it at home and I want to use my computer because if I just use my laptop its cold. When my pc runs the rooms is nice and toasty.

When I woke up they dropped in the group chat, they where finally getting to sleep (Same time zone), bcs there family was keeping them awake, never met them but I already have beef with them.

Bro we could use that in our group, we are at the point every few weeks someone says we should meetup and do something and we all say “yeah!” then nothing until a few weeks later someone else suggests we do something.
