Read Hernan Cortez’s own description of the Aztec empire when he arrived.

Same thing is likely true in SoCal. The city of Azusa,CA has their own, non-Edison utility, and their rates are 1/3rd of the Edison rates in the towns around them.

To the sane people, he means:

“repaint history” = correct historical inaccuracies in textbooks

“In the worst way possible” = as correctly as possible

“Using standards that should not be applied” = using the proper standards and I don’t like that for “reasons”

“No wonder people are so miserable and divided these days” = No wonder people don’t like people that spread the same misinformation as me at the moment

“When we are led to be miserable in everything” - “when led to learn from our prior mistakes and try to improve the future of ALL peoples”

Much thuggery. Much shifty. Much euphemism. Much denialism.

“Deliberate misinterpretation”-? “Colored by his treatment”-? such an interesting choice of words. You’re very good at this euphemism dance.

Bravo.

So if I “discover” a house down the street I’ve never seen before, I “achieved” the title of “discoverer” as well! Ok so I guess he did “accomplish” something, I stand corrected.:

He “discovered” the place that was not called Hispaniola by any of the people that called it home.

He “discovered” the gold that those people were literally wearing at their home. I guess that means he can keep that too?

He “discovered” that he could force those at gun point to bring him all the gold they could find from their home.

He “discovered” that he could coerce the people into doing that by beheading the leaders of their home.

He “discovered” he and his crew could rape the women they found in their home.

Such an interesting choice of words you were taught to describe home invasion, rape, murder, robbery.

Oh how did I know the bigots would jump in these comments.

Hacker News is well on its way to become the Nazi bar by allowing the thinly veiled racism to survive.

A slowly boiling frog.
