To answer the actual question, cheese and meat.

what do you call four dead billionaires at the bottom of the ocean? a good start!

They demonetize the slightest thing because that way they don’t need to pay anyone for the money they make…

“this kid’s lucky to have a mother that’ll say ‘screw the rules, I need to take care of my kid’”

I was once given a similar assignment “write a letter from the German trenches in WWI,” did the exact same thing.

I don’t think that’s the one I was thinking of, but it is the same spirit, so it’ll do. Thanks!

Happen to know the Mao quote on needing connection between soldiers and generals? I’ve never been able to find it.

It depends on your definition of “dirty water.”

When agriculture was invented, it created large numbers of people in one place. This pollutes water, mostly because humans shit all over the place and then dump it in the river. This happened to a much greater extent when we industrialized, with coal dust and other toxins getting into the water supply. Which we now need to (and do) filter out.

This wasn’t a concern for most of Earth’s existence, and, in many remote places, still isn’t a concern. (I’m thinking Arctic here, there’s no significant human or industrial presence.)

It’s also a matter of immune system. If you’re drinking unfiltered water your entire life, you’re going to build up a natural resistance to whatever bacteria may be in that water. This can be seen in modern-day - when many tourists go to somewhere with lower water quality, they’ll get stomachaches from the water because they’re not used to it. (I had that problem when I spent a summer in Warsaw, frex.)

we are in your walls, you shall never escape

soap2day.rs is still up.

Not exactly for everyday use.

I mean, we have “it” but that doesn’t really work…

I was wondering when someone would start discriminating based on what instance you made your account on…

There’s probably a cold war going on in the dev room.

Once I have any sensitive documents I need to store, I’m putting them in a safe with a self-destruct. Much more limited access.

I was already here…

I mean, I can probably edit those out.

Still with Genshin. Bit of a content drought lately, didn’t much care for the latest event. That said, it’s still one of my all-time favourites.

For PC, I’ve recently started playing Frostpunk. Really fun. From what I’ve heard of the Last Autumn, there’s a decent bit of class struggle there, but I haven’t gotten to it yet. (It’s also a bit unclear if it’s inter-worker bickering.)

And I’ve stuck with EU4 - in the middle of a Choson One run, just got declared on by a Russia-Ottoblob alliance.

It’s also rather amusing to me that this somehow led to the failure of Muscovy to unite Russia.
