Or rather, people have the urge to survive and will do whatever it takes.
Whether that’s the hard labor of small groups subsistence level existing, for the reward of not starving and suffering the elements. Or putting sandwiches in a bag for a one room apartment and a cell phone.

Fairly certain wages existed before guns.
But “end of a pointy stick” lacks gravitas.

Probably because the people who relaxed would soon be murdered by a more organized group with better nutrition, numbers, or weapons.
- Comment on Prison slavery 1 day ago:
I think you missed the part just prior to slavery where we had to work to avoid starving to death naked and alone exposed the elements.

I mean, it’s a common trope in story telling to use an outsider protagonist (from the perspective of the people in the story) to allow world building and immersion in the world/culture your story is set within.
So, the “guy with amnesia”, “orphan kid”, “dude in a foreign land”, “time traveler”, “new person in the organization”, “certain types of isekai” tropes all exist to tell a story where the reader/viewer get to learn as they go.
Fairly popular in historical fiction, fantasy, and many other genera.
It makes “Shogun”, “The Last Samurai”, “Marco Polo”, “Big Trouble in Little China”, and others like them more accessible to “Western” aka “white guy” demographics.
I don’t really see an issue with it, when done well.

I loved it as a kid (when it came out, loved the robots and the setting) but it was critically not well liked in general. So, I don’t think it holds up after the nostalgia wears off.
Though, it could easily be remade with a more coherent plot and cool special effects. Lol, could be out of the skill set of whomever they have making re-boots now, given the crap I watched on Disney+ lately.

Why not arm everyone in the crown. Good guy with a gun and all. Or, just call it democracy via bullet, that’s what they want anyway. Just let the mob shoot it out at every rally.

The whole point of using a “dead” language is that languages change over time and scientists once had the foresight to attempt making their works more universal over both multiple languages and over time.

I believe his pick up line was: “Listen missy, do you fancy another go? Because once you’ve had fat you never go back.”
He had other lines the ladies love like:
“First things first. Where’s your shitter?! I’ve got a turtle head poking out!”

Guess which of the fling quotes are Tump, and which are Jay.
(Hint, Jay knows how to find the little man in the boat, Trump just fumbles around down there.)
1: “I am the master of the C.L.I.T. Remember this fing face. Whenever you see C.L.I.T., you’ll see this fing face. I make that sht work. It does whatever the f** I tell it to. No one rules the C.L.I.T like me. Not this little f***, none of you little fs out there. I AM THE C.L.I.T. COMMANDER! Remember that, commander of all C.L.I.T.s! When it comes down to business, this is what I do. I pinch it like this. OOH you little f. Then I rub my nose with it.”
2: “I moved on her like a bitch. But I couldn’t get there. And she was married. Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony tits and everything. She’s totally changed her look.
Yeah, that’s her. With the gold. I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know, I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything
Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.”

It would be better if not for the fact that her “clothes” are the bun and condiments, so it’s nekked titties. At least give the poor thing a mustard bikini top.
