  They do try to entice you with drow ass for being evil, which was a pretty bold move.

  So the thing about Evangelion…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The dream!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t the whole thing with expats is that they explicitly keep their US citizenship? Most the self described expats I know are overseas military that married a local so my perspective may be skewed here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real Struggle 😔⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Now combine this ordeal with getting them to properly sign the damn thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nope, not visiting that⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, sure. He plausibly would’ve been in the Epstein files had be lived in the right era. He would’ve fit right in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nope, not visiting that⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s generally how people find out. Until then, it is both at the same time. Schroedinger’s douchebag and all.

  You’ll show that immune system its in a whole world of shit.

  They could’ve deleted those first three lines and given a subjective opinion about hipsters, but then they wouldn’t have posted on 4chan.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft target audience when they play a good game⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The bridge crossing level and using the crossbow to crucify combine soldiers were about the best parts of the game as I remember it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MFW I wake up to find Lemmy feeds full of USA stuff⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That sign has a Z and letters with accent mark over it.

  So I think this a picture of communism?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I watched several videos on a Combine Harvester's inner workings⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well first there’s the cutting technology. Scything is ancient. Industrial production of push mowers using cylinder blades were developed in the 1800s and the more modern gas powered rotary cutters came along in the 19th century with many other self-propelled and automated mechanisms. This started with coal and wood fired agricultural equipment used for processing, like threshing and winnowing. As internal combustion engines (gas powered) developed in the 20th century more equipment and processes could be incorporated on-site and in-field.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon thinks about wheat⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess I meant more along the lines of: “An ear of corn can be husked by hand and boiled.” Individual processing is far more accessible and feasible compared the threshing, hulling, and winnowing processes of wheat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon thinks about wheat⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Corn (Maize) is a selected grass. (Teosinte) Wheat is also a grass (Emmer) which hasn’t been nearly as modified.

  The american indigenous people cultivated and developed corn over 10,000 some years. An ear of corn can be boiled and eaten. Wheat? Not so much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm there!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Surveying can be some worthwhile science gigwork.

  Years ago I did some work with a research institute that was counting shellfish populations that was almost exactly this. A few weeks for a few summers hiking tidal zones. Most of the crews were college students, but not as interns or as a part of any programs. Some were just locals looking for some work.

  I just don’t think a lot of that work is advertised outside colleges.

  Sounds like they’ve been contacted by their local solid waste department who was lazy about how most sanitary codes don’t define garbage in a trailer as solid waste.

  It’s one of the dumber and common loopholes, but a health department with resources (legal and political) would actually require progress at eliminating the garbage since the loophole is based on staging waste for removal.

  States and local juridiction vary wildly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"i can hear the difference"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I miss when being an audiophile was just using vintage equipment and/or opting for lossless formats over compressed mp3s.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Lioness does not...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have seen those Breaking Bad arguments before too, and I am more inclined accept that sentiment there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Lioness does not...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Misogyny is a massive problem on reddit

  Yeah but this is Lemmy. There’s far more overlap between ‘sausage party’ and ‘women’ here than most other social media can even handle.

  And like, I never watched GoT nor read the books but still caught the reference. So this doesn’t feel like a form of arcane misogyny.

  Why yes I do drive a Nissan.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨get out of my head⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The decision to keep the ring on. Nice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Drova is surprisenly reactive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I immediately caught the Gothic references/influence which I think was actually a bit of a drawback for me. I was able to predict a lot of the mechanics and story, like being able to figure out essentially a frame perfect way to defeat the strong bandits early in the game and then coasted on that loot.

  That said I think it had quite a bit more depth than I was expecting and I appreciated that a great deal.

  Okay, but in oil or butter?

  No doubt, but at least we’re acknowledging 'Nam.

  Hmmm

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has a wholesome thought⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  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.
