An absolute amazing instrument in a car. A very simple yet useful instrument which is BUILT to allow you to warn other drivers of danger, but really is 90% of the time used to tell another driver that they're an asshole.
A WARN Honk is usually two or three short taps on the horn, followed by holding the horn down if it doesn't get the attention of the driver.
A "you're a dick" honk is usually held down for about 1-3 seconds to clearly inform someone that they've pissed you off.
A "GO!" Honk for someone sitting at a green light is usually 2 short taps on the horn.
I honk my car horn when some jackass decides to cheat traffic and cut into my lane from a turn only lane. They deserve to be honked at because they need to be told that they're not special and they're an asshole for cutting the line when the rest of us wait.
That part of America that just couldn’t be bothered to tag along when we rebelled against the British. After this, America and Britain fought over this land on numerous occasions (Maine border disputes, lake of the Woods map mistake, 54’40 or fight) yet Britain still held on to it for 200 years. Unlike America, Canadian independence was a gradual process, not an immediate one. It was granted increased autonomy and full independence in 1982.
America and Canada should never have been separated. Culturally we are very similar, we are located on the same continent, and unlike America’s southern border, all you’ll find dividing America and Canada are painted lines on roads, flower pots, and the border runs right through a few towns. Stark contrast to America’s southern border, just proves US and Canada are alike enough to trust each other.
Something you say to someone when they need to stop procrastinating and/or willfully ignoring problems around them that need to be solved. When someone is willfully slacking off, this is a great term to use.
When someone has their head in their ass, it means they're intentionally avoiding the subject of problems that need to be fixed, or they're intentionally making themselves ignorant of a problem. People do this because they think the problem may just disappear, but it never will, that's just life. You have to confront your troubles, not ignore them.
Mom: Jake, how's homework and school going?
Jake: I don't know I'm just taking a nap
Mom: It's 10PM, have you even started today's homework?!?
Jake: No mom it's fine
Mom: NO Jake, it's not fine, Pull your head out of your ass and get to work, or else you're gonna end up being a failure and a drug addict just like your disowned half brother!
Jake: FINE Mom!
An underrated Balkan country that most people didn't even know existed until 2006 when it broke away from union with Serbia. They speak their own language (Mutually intelligible with Serbian, Croatian, and Bosnian). It's a very mountainous country. It's got very rich history. It was one of the two nations that founded Yugoslavia, along with Serbia. Very few people know anything about Montenegro. It's underrated and very beautiful.
Montenegro is a historically and culturally rich nation. It was, for a very long time, the only nation in the Balkans that managed to stay outside the control of Austria and the Ottomans.
The treaty signed in 1848 that brought an end to the Mexican American War. This treaty liquidated the Mexican Empire, which was forced to give up 60% of its territory.
Texas, Alta California, and Arizona were ceded to America. America was also given partial control over a part of Panama, where it intended to build a canal.
British Honduras (now Belize) and Mosquito Coast (now parts of Nicaragua and Honduras) were ceded back to the British Empire, who had previously lost those territories to Mexico.
Parts of Northern Mexico were put into the sphere of influence of America and Napoleon's France.
Mexico recognized the independence of Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, and Yucatan.
Mexico recognized British sphere of influence over the Yucatan state, and recognized American influence over the remaining independent states.
Mexico was forced to demilitarize its northern provinces.
America, France, and Britain were permitted to have armies in Mexico city.
The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo took down the Mexican Empire. Mexico later refused terms of the treaty and took up arms again, which ended the French and American spheres of influence over Mexico, recognized full Mexican sovereignty over Yucatan, and revoked all limitations on the Mexican military. The second treaty restored Mexican territorial integrity, whilst still leaving Central America dominated by the British and Americans.
The man who made all Republicans, Conservatives, and Christians look like racist idiotic assholes. He's an absolute disgrace to us. He is not a real conservative, he doesn't love America, he's just doing this for publicity. It absolutely pisses me off when he does all his BS in the name of "God". Stop using the name of the lord in vain, you're a terrible person. He's better than democrats, but still a disgrace. He forever scarred the political right.
The year I optimistically hope will end the shit show that we've had since 9/11. The most toxic generation of kids is graduating high school in 2020, so it should be getting better. I hope 2021 will start off a generation of peace and prosperity that future generations will cherish, just like us millennials cherish the 90's.
2021 will be a new start hopefully.
