“Bruh, we’re trying to get this project done on time and under budget, talking about space magic isn’t going to-”

!historymemes@lemmy.world and !roughromanmemes@lemmy.world await!

Marco Polo and Rashid al-Din, both contemporaries, relate versions of this story, so it’s likely broadly true.

“Is it possible to learn this power?”

“Not from a STEM major.”

Explanation: Exactly what it sounds like. Khutulun, a descendant of Genghis Khan (the great-granddaughter of his heir, Ogedei Khan), was famed for her beauty and her athletic prowess. She swore not to marry any man unless he could defeat her in a wrestling match. No man ever did (though I believe she eventually married). Any man who challenged her and lost would forfeit 100 horses to her. She earned a herd of some 10,000 horses this way - a considerable amount of wealth even for a Mongol princess!

She was also a skilled warrior, and favored by her father to become the next Khan, but he was eventually dissuaded from this by political maneuvering. Khutulun herself would become a prominent military commander under one of her brothers, who became Khan instead.

I hope memes using a Star Wars template without a Star Wars topic are kosher here, if not, I understand if it’s to be removed.

I don’t think you really mean that, sweetheart. :)

“She’s never stated” to “Well she doesn’t REALLY mean it” lmao

Given Harris has never and has stated she will never call for a permanent ceasefire, I have no idea where you think your gotcha moment is here.

Do you people even try, or is honesty against the terms of your religion or something?

Oh yes, just like I’m sure she was being completely sincere when she said all Biden had to do to earn her vote was ‘call for a ceasefire’ within the coming year.

Turns out when MLs don’t say a single thing in good faith, people start remembering and stop taking them seriously. :)

“Marxism is when you make false claims about genocide in order to make a false equivocation between literal fascists and liberals, because to you both of those things are exactly the same.”

Hey, remember when you said you’d vote for the Dem candidate if Biden was replaced? How’s that going?

Most modern Marxists are supportive of “AES.”

Ah, it’s like the Bolsheviks being in the minority and declaring themselves the majority (literally what ‘Bolshevik’ means, while ‘Menshevik’, the actual majority, means minority) all over again.

Of course not!

Stormtroopers aren’t people.

tbf I’d be dosing on caffeine even if I didn’t have ADHD

With caffeine and anger, I’ve found that dysfunction is possible.

I’m terrified to think of where I’d be without either.

Me, dreaming of the day when I am no longer a prolific poster

Only a child can find things like rape and suicide funny, because they lack the emotional depth to understand the ramifications of these concepts.

As a survivor of multiple suicide attempts (💪), and someone who has lost family members to suicide, suicide jokes can be fucking hilarious.

You don’t get to decide what parts of the human experience are acceptable to laugh at. For some of us, it’s not just humor, it’s how we endure.
