"Trump questions why U.S. Civil War had to happen" - reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-jackson-idUSKBN17X20W

Cc @Unionhawk just to run your day like mine was

Was, like, slavery such a big deal? I'm sure we could have, like, you know worked it out

And you know that President that took part in like, huge genocide? Great guy. He like totally would have avoided that

user15026

@Yuuki Yeah that's def a goose

Yuuki

20:08

Andrew Jackson was confrontational as f--k. No matter whether he was anti- or pro-slavery, he likely would've kickstarted the Civil War earlier.

Lincoln tried to avoid the Civil War for as long as he could. It was just that Southerners saw his election "the nail on the coffin", so to speak.

GodEmperorDune

@Yuuki i blame @Wipqozn

Wipqozn

20:15

@GodEmperorDune I'm honestly starting to think trump might be an actual white supremacist.

GodEmperorDune

@Wipqozn he certainly likes white supremacist talking points

it could just be 400 dimensional chess or w/e

Steven Vascellaro

Every time I think I can't be surprised anymore, Trump finds a way

Wipqozn

@GodEmperorDune and associates with white supremacists... Like it's just too much at this point for me to just dismiss as pandering or him just not caring

GodEmperorDune

@Wipqozn he acts like an old racist grandpa

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn uhhhh

badp

20:18

@GodEmperorDune the reason I enjoy this expression so much is that having too many dimensions is a surefire way to get bad machine learning

If you're playing chess you can try and determine if additional dimensions like how much you lift each piece by helps

Wipqozn

@GodEmperorDune yeah he does

badp

or the time between moves

or the look on your face

GodEmperorDune

@badp i thought it was an extrapolation from star trek's 3-d chess

like the game itself had more dimensions

badp

or the amount of sleep your opponent had had

but in the end you're just wasting time thinking about any of this

GodEmperorDune

@GnomeSlice yes, he is more of an orange supremacist

Wipqozn

20:20

@GnomeSlice When someone starts t talking about "did the civil war need to happen" and "I bet this huge racist would have stopped it" then you seriously need to question this.

badp

and you'll probably end up lifting the pieces five kilometers in between moves

GodEmperorDune

@Wipqozn it's more the hubris of "no one thought to ask this before" when historians have looked at that era and asked the same question for a very long time

like he always comes up with these super obvious things and seems astonished by them

Wipqozn

@GodEmperorDune The only people who question the reasons behind the civil war are racists, in my expeirence, since they're trying to deny "because slavery"

GodEmperorDune

like he's the first one to discover that international relations is difficult

Wipqozn

because spoilers: it was about slavery

GodEmperorDune

20:22

or healthcare is complex

@Wipqozn there are more layers than that

but slavery is like level 1

especially because the southern states explicitly mentioned "slavery" when they were leaving

Wipqozn

@GodEmperorDune yes, but slavery was far and away the number 1 cause

because even with "State rates", it was "the rate to won slaves"

badp

@GodEmperorDune so he's like a ripoff of Philomena Cunk

Wipqozn

@GodEmperorDune yeah exactly

GodEmperorDune

@Wipqozn you can get into city based industrialized economy vs rural based agricultural economy

@badp except not as funny

badp

I took 13 minutes 30 seconds

Next tram in: 9, 14 minutes

Yuuki

20:27

@GodEmperorDune In which the strife was mainly due to the rural agricultural economy using slaves as a work force which would be threatened by the growing abolitionist movement in the North. So still an issue largely influenced by slavery.

@StevenVascellaro the problem i find is that the url you provide is to a post talking about the lack of auto capitalization at the start of Tag Excepts but the answer points out that the cause of the problem is from from the auto removal of repetition which (and i may be wrong in my understanding of Jeff Atwood's regex) should be removing that stuff anyway unless it's no longer working/turn off.

also personally i don't think it reads better with the removal but maybe it's because when i did English i was taught repetition is a good thing when explaining stuff and that the tag name acts like a heading which should be repeated.

ie.
