Depends on what your historical question is. In most cases, this difference of degree wouldn’t matter.

Every historian better than half decent will also tell you that those two systems of government were closely related (totalitarian political violence).

I support any and all EU laws against Xitter out of spite, they could be making Elon Musk square dance for every piece of misinformation for all I care.

Oh god, best of luck to you guys from Europe. I hope whoever opposes him is able to beat Trump.

In the classical sense of the word imperialism there’s already been a lot of the American Empire.

Just like the invasion of Ukraine would have remained bloodless if Ukraine allowed it to be… i.e. victim blaming.

Just like Werner Herzog

Ah yes, the classic Microsoft “what you really want is hidden behind a checkbox, otherwise you’ll get shit”.

I once turned that feature on thinking it was an actual backup (copies of my files in the cloud), I remember how angry I was when I found out it wasn’t a backup after all and just removed your files from your computer and only made them accessible online.

I don’t know if it “matters”, and I’m not a prescriptivist who wants to tell others how to talk, but it’s interesting.

To be pedantic that’s not grammar but orthography (which in English is even weirder). English is just a mutant amalgamation of Germanic, Romance and Celtic languages and man, it shows.

But have you cleaned your bedroom or did you only clean it?

If he only said “I cleaned my shoes”, they could be dirty again. Now you know the difference between present perfect and simple past. English grammar, it’s weird (but every language’s is, to be fair).

I dunno, there’s dead Roman bones in it.

He maybe should’ve known that it wouldn’t work, but does he ‘deserve’ to be in a mental hospital? Absolutely not.

The more famous someone gets, the more power over people they have. And some people, once they have the opportunity, really like to abuse power.

The terror org Hamas’s name is an acronym, but was afterwards glossed to mean strength or zeal. That vaguely fits, so maybe? But I’m no expert on Proto-Semitic etymology.

That would make more sense than whatever this is.

God’s punishment.
