#6 Hear, hear!
That's it!
It's not admitting I'm wrong that's hard. I often realize I'm off base and course-correct. The difficulty depends on the fallout. If the stakes are high, I'm slower to fess up. It's like realizing you put salt instead of sugar in the office birthday cake - easy to admit if it's just you tasting it, way harder when the whole team's digging in and the boss is eyeing that first bite. The bigger the oops, the more you wanna hide under your desk.
Yes! That's it. You got it!
And suicide wishes.
#11 The punchline is the series of responses:"Yes" (English)"Oui" (French, pronounced like "we")"Sí" (Spanish, pronounced like "see")"Ja" (German, pronounced like "ya")The humor comes from the fact that when read aloud, these words sound like:"Yes, we see ya."

Who is that? What is he saying now?
Atrocities of American slave holders (1800s): Facing economic pressures and unable to import new enslaved people, some slave holders intensified their cruel practices to maximize productivity and maintain control, resulting in severe abuses.
Intensification of domestic slave trade: With international trade banned, American slave holders relied more heavily on the domestic slave trade and forced reproduction to maintain their workforce. This led to the separation of families and increased suffering.
Abolition of international slave trade: Britain (1807) and the US (1808) banned the importation of enslaved people. While a step toward abolition, this cut off external sources of enslaved labor for American plantations.
American independence (1776): The United States, founded on ideals of liberty, paradoxically continued and expanded the institution of slavery after gaining independence. This contradiction would shape American politics and society for decades.
Entrenchment of racial ideologies: To justify the morally reprehensible slave trade, Europeans developed and spread racist ideologies. These beliefs became deeply ingrained in colonial societies, shaping social structures and laws.
Establishment of plantation economies: The influx of enslaved labor enabled the creation of large-scale agricultural operations in the Americas, particularly for sugar, tobacco, and later cotton. This further drove demand for enslaved workers, creating a vicious cycle.
Growth of transatlantic slave trade: As European colonies in the Americas expanded, demand for labor skyrocketed. Traders exploited existing African slave systems and dramatically scaled up operations, forcibly transporting millions of people across the Atlantic.
Expansion of European presence: Taking advantage of the regional instability, European traders, particularly Portuguese, increased their activities along the West African coast. They established trading posts and forts, gradually building economic and military influence in the area.
#41Collapse of the Songhai Empire (1591): This weakened a major West African power, creating political instability and power vacuums in the region. The fragmentation of local authority made it easier for European powers to establish footholds and exploit existing slave trading networks.
That's the theory; Republicans seem to like to beat their heads against that wall.
Thank you, well informed imgur user.
Spend 3/4's of it on booze and wild women. Then just waste the rest.
