  100%. it’s an exploitatative industry. one that gives us incredible works of art, but an exploitative industry nonetheless

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fox Picks Up Four Seasons Of ‘The Simpsons’, ‘Family Guy’, ‘Bob’s Burgers’ & Returning ‘American Dad’ In Mega Deal With Disney TV Studios⁩ ⁨⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  because enough people are watching and animation is cheaper to do than a single camera or three camera 22 minute sitcom

  cuneiform is a clay writing system. the tablets would have been written rather quickly using a sharpened reed called a stylus. the clay tablet would then be left to harden in the sun before transport. it’s still pretty labor intensive, but nowhere near taking a chisel to stone

  i swear to god they used to work better. modern ones either send your cursor flying off the screen with a gentle nudge, or they barely move at all. it used to be people would hold onto the nipple nubs for extended times because they preferred the precision of them over touchpads. as touchpads have gotten better, nipple nubs have gotten worse. i’d probably point to 2015 when things all went wrong. i don’t know if the manufatcurers switched to a new sensor because it was cheaper or if the software / firmware / drivers that make touchpads good also make nipple nubs horrible

  it’s 7 card monti but with the gambling replaced with strategic decision making. the fact that lootboxes aren’t considered gambling, but removing gambling from poker is, it just puts on display how the big corporations are desperate to keep us locked into their entertainment machines and away from innovative art

  yeah but octopi are intensely successful hunters. this may be either a mechanism that helps prevent resource scarcity, or it could prevent parent/offspring mating

  • Village elders selecting a chief to represent their families was common in africa
  • The Iroquois organized their tribes into a bicameral political structure as early as 1142, though most archaeologists believe the date was more likely to be around 1450
  • The Cossacks of Eastern Europe were largely self organized as equals until the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth declared them to be protectorate subjects (which itself was… Not as good at being an anarchy as the Cossacks were, but was also FAR more democratic that the forces that ultimately partitioned it). I don’t have a good link for this one, unfortunately, but I’m sure if you do some light digging you can find some info
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Poetic take" on the state of the US⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  new in western Europe* colonialism eliminated many societies that found ways to run their societies without the kinds of authoritarian power structures common in western Europe. the imperial powers, including eastern Asia (China and Japan), moscow, and western Europe wiped out threats to these authoritarian power structures. the societies they encountered were scientifically advanced in ways the imperial powers didn’t truly understand because those powers only interacted with the world around them via violence

  read the subprime attention crisis. ads markets have gotten extremely uneffective

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who's going to watch departure times on the departure board? Let's use it for ads!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  this is an act of desperation by the digital ad markets. they have to innovate new types of ad to sell because more and more the only ads that actually work even a little bit are personal testimony and billboards, neither of which the digital ad markets actually sell. we are currently experiencing an economic collapse in the advertising space which is driving the ad markets to use their propaganda machines for less and less scrupulous purposes. ever wonder why there’s so much right wing bullshit in your youtube ads now? because that shit didn’t sell razors or soap or mattresses or whatever. but it CAN make people very scared and upset
