Leftist with an incorrigible love for fancy aesthetics (mostly Renaissance Italy/Victorian England) that might be incorrectly read as a monarchist because of that.

- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 3 days ago:
612 years in the past
In BrazilWell
As a person from modern times – From AFTER the Americas came into contact with Europe, if I went near a person here in the Land of Palms (that’s what the natives called Brazil!) from those times we’d both get horribly infected and die a lot due to how antibodies work. Viruses did a lot of the legwork in genociding the natives.
The place I currently live in is slowly turning into a desert, but was a deep jungle back then.
… I think I’d just die? Become food for a jaguar or sth.
Would love to indulge in the fantasy of giving the Guarani people guns and a warning to shoot white people on sight just to see how history would change, but that ain’t happening.
- Comment on What's the point in getting married? 3 days ago:
If you’re looking for a rational argument for the big party or the religious ceremony or anything like that – You won’t find it. These things are meant to play to the emotional, and this isn’t a flaw, it’s the whole point. If neither you nor your partner give two shits about big parties or ceremonies, then y’know, neither of you needs to bother. If said partner does want this and you don’t, then y’know, maybe have a good chat about that and find a compromise. That’s how partnerships work.
Being legally married is a separate thing, and is inexpensive in most countries (just a small fee so the bureaucrats can process the bureaucracy), and is often done weeks in advance of the big party and/or religious ceremony. To be legally married is to have you and your partner recognised by The State ™ as being a family unit. This has uses for a few situations in life.
- Comment on Why are popes always really old? 1 week ago:
“why does this well known social-and-political figure tend to be a certain way?”
“because of a social system” (said social system is older than capitalism and feudalism alike)
“OMG HOW DARE YOU SAY CAPITALISM IS TO BLAME?!??!?”
Bitch can you fucking read?
- Comment on Why are popes always really old? 1 week ago:
Because Gerontocracy is the true law of the land, and is older than both capitalism and feudalism.

I ask friends who are more intelligent than me
And if they don’t know I assume it is forbidden knowledge that would drive me mad to know
(I am only half joking)
- Comment on What really separates a PC from a server? Mainly the hardware, but I guess software too. 1 month ago:
A server can just be a PC left working in a corner, depnding on what specifically you’re doing with it. Hardware designed to be a server tends to have more power in the places that matter for that job and less (if any) power dedicated to home use stuff like graphics.
I have a server for my family (WELL mostly me and my father). It consists of an old gaming PC with Linux Server Stuff installed on it. Doesn’t need to be anything more, it’s just Emby (media, mostly films) and NAS stuff.
It’s mostly intent and what you run on it.
- Comment on Why does most religion talk about their GOD being male? Especially Christains and Muslims. Is there a prominent female god that as big as the other two that I am missing? 2 months ago:
Shinto’s “head god” was Izanagi, who was very much a man.
- Comment on why do transphobes mention pedophiles/compare them to pedophiles when most trans people (as do most people) hate pedophiles? 2 months ago:
People who bitch about being banned/blocked are always the most blockable/bannable human beings imaginable, istg.

A cheap hotel, usually.
More generally “cheap housing inhabited by people who are down on their luck”
- Comment on What are some of the non-technical parts of the fediverse that appeal to you? 2 months ago:
Doesn’t feel like I’m constantly being sold shit while I’m here
The corporate web feels like a shopping mall, the indie web feels like a flophouse.

I think saying Tankies aren’t Communists is a bit like saying Sword Art Online isn’t an anime.
Just because they suck doesn’t remove them from the category. In fact acknowledging the sucky parts of a <thing> is part of being grown up about that thing.
- Comment on hexbear.net comically loses its domain name 2 months ago:
Communists (internet troll-ish)
As opposed to Communists (just-- communists) from lemmy.ml and Communists (Spicy Communists) from lemmygrad.ml
- Comment on Does anyone actually know what MAGA all agree they are getting out of all this? 2 months ago:
“We made people we don’t like fucking miserable for a bit”
Ultimately the kind of person that goes all in on a cult like MAGA could lose everything to shitty policy or because their great leader started a war or smth – But they’ll still reason it was worth it because all those <Slur>s were put in their place.
