That was the only good running Chuck Norris joke. Walker was so absurd even in context, the lever just made it hilarious.

Even Israel, in the humanitarian aid worker killing hot seat, didn’t vote no.

At a certain point it is just complaining about photoshop because it isnt truly paint on canvas. This is slightly more evolved than the magic wand tool and a texture filter.

This is the absolute limit of the AI bubble: better photoshop filters.

Some instance admins respond to report abuse and intentional troll brigading differently than Reddit would have. You can probably surmise what a ‘blahaj’ instance has to deal with.

Ultimately there being many instances and platforms for people to migrate to over, even on a whim is, in fact, a good thing. That sense of mobility and independence is valuable to the Fediverse.

That’s the channel Indy Neidel made during/after The Great War, correct? I never made the leap after following from 2014-2018.

Rimworld has some guardrails built in. Dwarf Fortress has… less than guardrails.

For example: soap making.

Do animal fats still differentiate between baby, child, and adult?

So in that regard just be aware that serfdom is a really broad category that embodies the labor system that existed under fuedal societies. For example, one of the longest lasting systems of serfdom existed in the Russian Empire until the 1860s. The serfs of England revolted in the Elizabethan era and a system of tenant rent was implemented. So there are centuries long gaps in what serfdom was like depending on where you’re looking. Material conditions for the 14th century peasant and the 19th century vary widely, but do have common structure and function.

Tolstoy and Dostoevsky wrote extensive literature of Russian serfdom, and worth a read. Although, well, its Tolstoy ans Dostoevsky. I have barely read either, for context.

I usually maxed out at one person at a time anyway, so finding a spouse fit my life quite easily. Which, incidentally, has mostly exempt me from this scenario.

However the random requirement to socialize with other people’s spouses and other couples due to children… Well, that’s necessity. Like work.

I am friendly and socialable at work, which ends everyday at the agreed upon time. That doesn’t keep me up at night.

Baguette supremacy.

Places? At risk of sounding glib, your local library. It’s such a wide and broad topic you can read up on pretty much any country or regions history and get a picture of how it developed.

Now for the specific topic of economic and labor systems? Honestly I think I would venture to say start with critiques of F.A. Hayek since what I was referring to was the development of the centrally planned nation state.

Hayek’s influential work is definitely geared towards a Cold War era audience which is why I suggest critiques. Disentangling central planning from political ideology can be a valuable tool.

That’s accurate to what serfdom was but it was an evolution of pre-medival slavery. Instead of being the personal property of a king working the fields on the kings owned land, it was about being the personal property of the crown, the state, the system (owned by the king.)

A slave could earn their freedom, be set free, or even kill their master and be free. A lot of slaves in antiquity had a tendency to overthrow kingdoms.

A serf though, was never meant to be free. Except, maybe, by another, foreign nation state. And now you know the basis of most European medieval war history.

The neat thing about Hasan is that his hate machine has to resort to manufacturing controversy about him.

That Mad Mage just isn’t making sense!

It’s like a purposeful troll on a group with a persistent completionist mentality.

When (if) they catch on the DM can help expedite their routing.

I get that some communities want to curate their content and contributors, but pre-emptive bans and such aren’t going to be an effective method. It’s usually net counter-productive, as we see playing out here.

Most people won’t understand, care, or even notice. The few that do tend to take it as a provocation than a lesson, anyway.

OP appears to be the author, so I’d be curious to hear an answer.

Hryhoriv kinda poisoned the well for any vestige of the ataman system to have survived revolution.

It was a different SCOTUS in his first term…

The communism-anarchism conflict often resembles the divide between urban and rural society.

It isn’t insurmountable.

A deep comment thread without a single intentional misquote and ‘so you hate pancakes’ tactic. Love to see it.

They’re now I think at 22-2?
