I see your Arch and raise you a Gentoo.

Just recovered from that honeypot. Holy shit.

It’s a slippery slope.

How about if you launch a huge magnet well above escape velocity and remotely anchor a space elevator made from a ferromagnetic material to it but the space elevator’s weight counteracts its inertia exactly and holds it in place perpetually. Would that work?

I miss the FacePunch forums.

Huh? Pretty sure Guantanamo Bay is still open to this day. Not on the same scale nowadays, sure; but the CCP never claimed freedom as part of its core values either.

Read this as “anarchist octopus” and I spewed out my coffee

The real question for me is what unit of distance would be used for the integer representation… It could take 1 meter, 1 Km, 1 Au, or even 1 Infinity to represent the distance between every person and the next. Also, are we using a linear or logarithmic scale?

This is not to mention the lack of info on how fast the train is going, and whether or not it’s accelerating.

Do you think Native Americans would agree to define him as an explorer too, then?

But this is accurate. Columbus was an explorer, that was his mission. I’ve read his letters to Spain and he wanted to find bounty for the Spanish crown to convince them to give him more money.

And Adolf Hitler was a politician. That was his “mission”. We don’t define Hitler by his career though.

He murdered, tortured, enslaved kidnapped, interrogated, and raped people to find even more bounty.

I guess he went above and beyond on that mission, yeah? By your definition he seems more like a bounty-hunter/privateer and not an explorer, but worse in every way. (And how is rape supposed to tie into this narrative about his goal of securing more funding anyway?)

But he was an explorer, not a conquistador or conqueror. Those were military positions.

So by your logic, not having a military position pardons any atrocities he committed and waives the reason to call him anything other than “explorer”? He was a butcher and a rapist. That’s a fact.

You don’t need a rank and a hat to become a sanctioned piece of shit. That can happen sans the hat.

This post is ignorant.

Is this your opinion, or an “accurate” fact too?

(Replying to yours to officially welcome you into this pile of brothers/sisters/siblings where we type in parentheses and where none shall be ever lonely)

Yet they both committed atrocities (torture, murder, rape and god knows what else) and only one is being hailed as “explorer”.

(Also deleting mine since you did the research!)

You should stop overanalysing the problem. Let’s keep it simple and have a crack at this later.
