Yeah he doesn’t appear as a living character in Homer’s poem but he does appear as a ghost in the poem when they visit the underworld (sorry for the spoilers). Not sure what difference it makes if Achilles shows up as alive or as a ghost

>If you’ll still be able to vote at all, that is. Stopped reading here. What a ridiculous statement and I can only assume the rest of your post is just as ridiculous.

Sounds like you're about to give the OP a hard sell on a course or some other BS.

I don't think the US will become too war exhausted for another war. We just got out of one and we're back in one again. Taiwan would get politicians and people fired up.

>The US, should it survive this administration This level of doomerism is absurd. Of course the US will survive this administration. I blame the news for making every breathe by whichever opposition seem like the next WWIII.

Throughout human history entire families, tribes, villages, and cities were on the edge of death, whether it was by disease, famine, or invaders. This is nothing new. Don't by into the people selling fear.

These comments/upvotes feel astroturfed and any negative/questioning comments are heavily downvoted.

Just because a bad group of people also believe the same thing doesn't make that thing false. Nice attempt.

>What is it like in the US these days? Pretty normal unless you're an illegal immigrant. Despite what the media tells you and all your pearl clutching coworkers are told to think by said media.

Also, Idk what that source is but the US has way more barrels than that. Proven reserves mean that’s what’s been proven via drilling, not speculative (which is what the Greenland barrels are). There is a lot more “unproven” oil out there bu

Let’s be honest with ourselves. If there were hundreds of billions or trillions of dollars of accessible oil underneath Greenland they would start drilling tomorrow.

by MaxHoppersGhost 9mo ago
He’s correct there is oil but there is oil everywhere. Whether it’s feasible to extract it is another thing. Do you really think if they had worthwhile oil reserves that someone wouldn’t have thought to extract it? So I would say Greenland

by MaxHoppersGhost 9mo ago
Another 30 second search would show you that their oil is not readily available and is unproven. Otherwise Denmark would already be an even wealthier petrostate like Norway.

China is building more coal plants right now than the entire world combined so don’t worry they have those too.

by MaxHoppersGhost 9mo ago
If you think there is oil in Greenland I think you should not contribute to these types of discussion for lack of knowledge on the topic.

by MaxHoppersGhost 9mo ago
Have you driven around anywhere rural lately? The US is doing a ton of renewables development. China is also building unfathomable amount of coal plants as well.

Canada has a strong army and can defend itself. Greenland on the other hand is not well defended and I doubt Denmark really cares (e.g., if they’re willing to send tens of thousands of troops to die for it) if it was occupied by China or Ru

Strong anti fraud rules (even for massive banks) are a foundational part of a high functioning society.

They had a tough time integrating but ultimately they were Christian and European and had western values. Muslims don’t have any of that and their ideals of freedom amd rights aren’t compatible with western values.

Israel has a fertility rate of 3 and is very advanced so not all countries. It’s a cultural thing. We’ve given up religion and values for doomscrolling and dopamine hits.

I suspect there will be some equilibrium reached but maybe not.

Germans mostly assimilated and culturally were similar to existing Americans, sharing the same religion and similar values. Can’t say the same for Muslim immigrants at all.

by MaxHoppersGhost 1y ago
Same thing is happening to most counties in Europe but they’re “fixing it” with immigrants. But the Germany filled with Germans will be disappearing just as South Korea is.

I think having kids when you’re in your early 30s is the way to go but having kids at any age is great. I think waiting until later is a mistake because you want a full life with your kids and ideally you can bless your parents with grandki

Have you seen the photos? The situation is out of control. Cops were hiding under bridges while their cars are destroyed by rocks and Molotov cocktails. It’s a shitshow.

Jan 6 was also not ok. I’m good with lethal force to protect federal buildings and federal workers. Nice try.
