Yeah, I’m glad most stopped.

I like to share excerpts from Lemmy with my incredibly right-wing family (hopefully to chip away at their staunch beliefs) and its SOOO much easier to share articles/comments when I don’t need to re-write them to exclude all Drumpf mentions. (Those mentions of course cause the person I’m trying to influence to immediately shut down and not read the rest of what I said)

True, but not much of a shower thought?

I think it depends on when you look back from.

I think of WWI, the Inter-War period, and WWII as three separate periods of time and they cover about 40 years.

I think of The Louisiana Purchase (1803), the start of the Monroe Doctrine (1823), and the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) as all happening about the same time, despite covering about 45 years (before double checking just now, I could’ve sworn the Mexican-American War was in the 1830’s, and that Monroe was president in ~1816, which only drives the point home more).

I doubt we’ll feel the difference by 2100, but between 2200 and 2300 is when I expect that blending to happen.
