This just confirms the point I made above about naming. What's your point exactly?

Why?

The semantic distinction is relevant because Reconquista, with the capital R and everything, is an ideological, propagandistic narrative by the Spanish (central government) originating in the 20th century.

I don't know that Columbus was genocidal. He was a slaver, rapist, murderer, gold digger and all-round motherfucker for sure, so much so that the Spanish monarchy sent an envoy to arrest him, bring him back to Spain to be tried, and th

I don't pretend or lie. Historians put the start of Spain as a unified nation with the Catholic monarchs. Spain did not exist as a nation prior to then. Hence, nothing to conquer "back", just a succession of empires and small

Thomas Aquinas (medieval Catholic philosopher) knew the Earth was round [1]. If your first point was to suggest that the roundness of the Earth disappeared with ancient Greece -- that didn't happen. Nor did the Renaissance rediscover t

Hispania constituted several Roman provinces. I'm not sure what you mean by "unified". Unified legally under the Roman empire, sure, but not as a nation or even culturally. (By that token, we could say "Spain" was u

Named by whom? The term did not even show up until the 20th century, so it wasn't the christians who named it like that. Pure Spanish myth. Oh, and the battle that started it all? Never even existed. Pure historical revisionism for nat

The US is in an economic war with China. TikTok is just part of their current beef. Not to say that TikTok isn't toxic; of course it is. But Instagram and Facebook are, too. "Considered a villain" -- this means nothing unless

Ill-named because it wasn't a reconquest of anything; Spain did not exist as a nation anytime prior to that. It was a bunch of tribes originally, followed by the Greeks settling in, then the Romans, then the Visigoths, and then the Ara

How does a Jew discovering the Americas benefit the Spanish regime when the Spanish Catholic monarchy precisely kicked all Jews and Muslims from the peninsula with their ill-named "reconquista"? If this turns out to be true, then

The link you shared is kind of deranged. I get where it comes from, but if that is basically your world view, a little getting out wouldn't hurt you.

There is really a point to both opinions. BobAlice maybe lives in a place where tax funds are actually well spent.

Oh, but my child is the best! Have you ever gotten into that situation, as a kid, where you argued with an adult about how stupid their kid was? That's the summum of the situation you just described. Good times.

Yes.

3. Legal incentives. When somebody dies or fails to receive critical care at a hospital because a Windows XP machined got owned, somebody should probably face something along the lines of criminal negligence.

Seems like the capitalists have found the way to make office workers be constantly on the edge about their job security. Pack/unpack stuff every day is hilarious.

A "side effect" is generally the behaviour that can be modeled by a Monad under chaining (join), and is not necessarily IO (although IO is a Monad). For a burrito, the side effect of join is the union of burrito contents.
