@Tamerlane

To be fair, he was on campaign to invade the Ming when he died in Kazakhstan.

A goddamn cover story put forth to salvage his post-mortem reputation.
The truth is that his advisor, G**do M*sta, warned him about adding a 44^th wife/concubine to his harem, citing "double the 4's, double the bad luck".
Tamerlane being Tamerlane, of course, promptly told his advisor to fuck off and set out towards Kazakhstan, where he encountered his ultimate fate.

Did you know that Mexico had a war with France because of cake and lost?

Ctrl+F 'cake' yields zero results, which means the cake _{as a cause} is a lie.

[Halo]

Would you a Timur?

 

[Richman]

Haha, we also had like 5 civil wars iirc, first it was the independence (if you want to count that one), then against Iturbide, then it was the libs vs the conservatives, then it was against Diaz, and lastly against christians. Those are the big ones i remember rn.

@justforthelulz It's called the Cakes war in spanish, but since that sounds dumb and pastry is more elegant, it was named that way in english.

It's called the Cakes War in Spanish

If only an English-Spanish translator could have relayed this message to the officials sooner:

@justforthelulz
Sometimes i think spanish is super straightforward, like in chess, the Knight is named Horse and i never questioned it until i discovered the english name. I laughed pretty hard.

Speaking of cakes, i ate one today! It was pretty good. -U-

 

[EOTFOFYL]

Quite overwhelmed,
my guts can't tolerate this.

What kind of cake was it?

 

[Tamerlane]

@Halo Based on that image, I don't think I would have a choice in the matter. If someone has a bow and arrow to my face, I'd be forced to comply regardless...

@Richman Let's not forget all the US-Mexican incidents, such as the Alamo, (remember it, dammit) the US-Mexican War that ended with the US holding a gun to your head and saying "sign the he Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo," and the Zimmerman note that almost started ANOTHER war.

I don't even want to go into the red scare...

But hey, in our defense, Santa Ana was an asshole who had a funeral for his own leg as his own men lay there dying.

What kind of cake was it?

It was a chocolate cake, but one of those slices that are really well made. @justforthelulz

@Tamerlane
Santa Anna is hated by everyone here in Mexico, i'm sure that if someone praises him, they're mentally disabled.
Also, almost every president (especially since the 1800s-today) has royally fucked Mexico in one way or another, we have shit goverment since our inception I wanna get out of here ASAP.

 

[Tamerlane]

@Richman To be fair, the same thing could be said of US presidents because half the country will always hate one and half will always hate the other. Plus we have the issue of everyone wanting to come here, which is really hard to manage on all fronts, especially during the virus outbreak.

Though, sometimes I wonder if the people of Mexico just voted to joined the US if it would actually solve a lot of issues, like mass immigration and corruption. It would never happen, but it's an interesting thought experiment.

@Tamerlane
Now i'm interested in the alternate version of Earth where there is not only an European union, but also a North American Union.

 

[justforthelulz]

@Richman
Unsurprisingly, there are plenty of conspiracy theorists claiming that such a unification is already underway.

@Richman @justforthelulz

It's a thing in Halo, though the UEG in Halo is a despotic nightmare state, so probably not the best idea to emulate them...

 

[Richman]

@Tamerlane
From what i learned and remmeber from one of the best Hhalo youtubers i've seen (sadly in spanish, so he goes pretty unknown), the Unified Earth Goverment is just the UN but with an actual army due to the UNSC practically being the governing faction (is that fascism or just a military dictatorship?).

I love that the latest forum posts are this shitposting thread and some guy looking for a hentai. The duality of man.
