God damnit that pun is way too good.
Naa, one in Harper's Ferry. Near where the armory was (is?)
It's always funny when I hear this, currently teaching ELA in Florida of all places. So, we all heard of the cuts to education, stop teaching certain bits of history (please fill me in on the correct term, I currently remember trump or Desantis' buzzwords about not teaching slaves being enslaved and them being "indentured" and "learning valuable skills!" the cunt.)
Anyway, our current section for this lesson plan is on Harriet Tubman, underground railroad, teaching the kids how to get characterization from the text and follow context clues, stuff like that. John Brown is mentioned, and in my counties' plans is a side lesson on John Brown, what he did, which works better for me since I should be teaching history regardless. I'm telling these kids all about him, what he believes in, and how raiding that armory is what caused the federal government to come crashing down on him, all the crazy radical badass things this man did.
Now, as I'm teaching these things, in the back of my head I'm thinking "This is surprising.... Isn't this supposed to be forbidden knowledge right know? What got cut?" Anyway, sorry for the walk of text. Slightly drunk, figured it fit here.
Edit: Forgot to mention, I am in a VERY fucking red part of Florida. Lifted white trucks, truck nuts, punisher stickers over blue line American flags, the fuckin works. You guys should see bike week, you'd swear it was the second coming of the führer.
Ok, downloaded peertube (because to hell with Google and YouTube) looked around... Um, is there not too much to look at right now? Are the people I normally watch on YouTube unable to be seen on peertube? Don't get me wrong, all about decentralized everything but if the people I like aren't there I'm feeling a bit up a creek.
Or, more likely, am I missing something? Forgive me, please, I am rather new to this concept and how to work the federations and such.
HMU if you want a guide. I'm happy to help a new player through. Woke, not woke, whatever it is, it's a damn nice game and community. Am more than happy to introduce it to people
What can I do to piss them off if I never had any in the first place?
Can you get soy in large quantities cheaply? Genuine question, my local markets don't seem to have a lot of soy anything around that isn't specialty and expensive.
I went googling for the Epos GSP headsets after this comment, only to learn they are discontinued. What a bummer, they seem nice.
I'm using thunder, on mobile. All I know is I am on lemmy.world, any idea how to modify what instances I am connected to with that?
Mounting games to your virtual machine as a network drive? That sounds like a rather tricky workaround. Has it given you much trouble?

Oh I got to cover the "many came back" part too, in the form of the fugitive slave law. Thomas Sims for example, people just grabbed off the street in the north and dragged back south because the good ol' boy system of the courts got some cash from detlaring any random black dude a runaway slave was also prominently taught. Again, NOT DEFENDING MY HOME STATE. Just wondering what the hell I'm missing.
