stop posting the Pirates of the Caribbean map already, seriously

agreed, wholeheartedly. it's just that any discussion of Columbus seems to devolve into blaming the entire Indian Genocide on him as if he was personally responsible for every act perpetrated during it. sorry for taking the discussion off-topic--i've kinda wanted to say that for a while, is all.

that's one thing that always annoys me about these debates and discussions--any real or imagined pre-Columbian contact with the Americas seems to always be used for the sole purpose of trash-talking Columbus as part of the talking point that he was one of history's greatest monsters (seriously...

there's actually a genuine POD that you could use for this. i'll try to find the specific note that i wrote about this, but Polo was given a significant office (i want to say it was some kind of governorship) in China according to his logs and stayed there until he started fearing that a change...

got any resources on this? i've been meaning to research what the biggest cities in various countries were at earlier points in history for my ASB ATL

well i wasn't really trying to make a point about video games--i was addressing the general impact of computers on culture and computer games were just part of my own experience with it--for my own part, i didn't "really" join the internet until about a decade after we got that first computer...

the other thing to keep in mind is that this is when computers really took off: the first feature-length CGI movies courtesy of Pixar, computer-animated TV shows like Beast Wars and ReBoot, and computers became easily accessible in the home. i remember back in the mid-'90s my family got our...

so it is Lilliput, then XD

Grand Duchess Anastasia disowns her family and joins the Communist Party ...? Collectivism! XD

so, Lilliput? but not an island?

it would not. Lost Causers can dance around it all they want, but slavery was and always would be the main, if not only, cause for the Civil War, and almost any other reason given ultimately boils down to either slavery or Confederate aggression in defense of slavery

and i'd guess the rest of the DC Universe, too :P to be clear, Batman: Holy Terror is an Elseworlds story set in a world where Cromwell won and established a Puritan theocracy, including over America, which lasts through to the present-day

so, Batman: Holy Terror? (not to be confused with Frank Miller's Holy Terror)

i'd imagine that a modern iteration of the Templar uniform would basically be that of Malta, since they basically were Malta for a considerable time, after all. their dress uniforms would be more interesting, probably resembling those of the current Hospitallers for my own part, i shopped this...

probably the source of what i'd heard ;) :P i'm certain i got it second-hand from somewhere else, probably either here or on Historum

my guess is that it's actually anti-Semitic propaganda, like "Ooh, look at those eeeeevil Jews, they want to take over all this stuff because it says so in their fake evil wrong totally-not-actually-part-of-Christianity bible!" i'd guess that the islands themselves are just laziness on the part...

keep in mind that it's also a very old map--i seem to remember hearing that it's from about the Bush era

and a transcontinental railroad? ;)

probably just a unique status

that is still essentially true, and that's not a Western interpretation of a tanuki in any case ;)
