Oh they did, yeah. But if you go back a century or two and manage some great political changes to the industrial revolution, we could avoid the worst of capitalism and actually get proper cooperatives, thus actually funding the people instead of large institutions / nations / corporations, which whole claiming to do good, actually ended up doing bad.

That’s the short and more rational version. My own is just like, go back in time and shoot the fuckers responsible for the drug war and we’d avoid quite a bit of the problems we currently have. I could go into a whole multihour monologue as to how the lack of empathy in today’s world is because we live in much larger societies but also, because I believe prehistoric humans actually had a tendency to do parties with serotonergic substances (shrooms back then, nowadays also lsd and mdma), which are proved to increase empathy and lessen your fear of strangers (this would’ve been necessary for populations as you can’t inbreed with a small hunter-gatherer group, you need to meet other groups and have fresh genetic material), and while that is still going on with a small part of the population, most people aren’t doing it and are stuck treating eveyone outside their family as “others” and that just won’t work in our interconnected world where we need to work together to avoid the only known planet to sustain life from becoming uninhabitable to humans.

But that’s just a brief version of my 2 cents. And because it’s so short I believe most will perceive it as schizo babble than actual reasoned arguments but as I said, I could write a book on this shit so I understand that a silly short version won’t convince anyone.

Easily a week.

A month would be pushing it before I get a new actually sizable chest freezer.

About 70-90% of my days are “buy nothing” days.

Hey hey hey. It’s 60 million yen. That’s only like ~384 000 USD.

Because you’d rather live in the cold dark ocean than in your neet cave?

Just go back ~century and fix it there, easy peasy.

I hope people realise actual war isn’t fun shenanigans like this.

The army is fun shenanigans, yeah, on occasion. In movies/memes that’s all you’ll see. Whereas the routine is boring af.

And real war is scary and heartbreaking because of how fucked up it is to have your friends explode to pieces or bleed out in your arms.

Thanks

Harvey Epstein is also a real life politician with an unfortunate name. Less so, but, still.

That’d be like me calling my kid Suddam Hussein

Udolf Hitler?

No one is going to get a tape measure out and verify when they park.

Dude clearly has no idea how autistic Northern Europe can be.

Oh that death toll is going to rise dramatically as 279 are reported missing.

Oh and just while writing it I saw another headline saying 44 dead 279 missing.

Whatever do you mean?

The playing dressup-bit?

That’s pre botw, bruh.

While wearing the Mask, it makes people think that Link is a woman and causes Gerudo thieves to be a bit annoyed.

Wearing Gerudo-face is a bit more offensive than actual tasteful crossdressing in Gerudo clothing, I guess, but hey, it was the 90’s.

Anyone else bothered that they’ve used “pKg” to mean “package” and not “per Kilogram”?

Yeah I had that feeling after the first few crashes / seizures I had.

You get used to it. Somewhat.

But time doesn’t mean growth, necessarily. A whole lot of companies are one man businesses, which don’t even plan to grow.

Hell, basically being an uber driver means you’re an entrepreneur with your own company, but slogging around drunks and pizzas all over town for 10 years doesn’t really improve the situation.

The punchline is that the person is loaded, yeah, but it doesn’t follow from the premise, and that’s kinda my point. It hasn’t been set up properly, see?

but those that move there, or are “settlers”, or endorse and support the “settler” policies are certainly land thieves.

Ah, so only a vast majority of them. Okay.
