yeah sure, but the statement is more like “BTW, if you want society, billions must suffer” like fuck off
- Comment on Why did every civilization not just build on the multiple ancient centers of learning that surround them? 22 hours ago:
but it’s REALLY hard to get your society to have the labor distribution to allow people to make scientific progress and digest other civilizations works while also being stable for a long time which requires wealth disparity
which requires wealth disparity
You’re just going to gloss over this? There’s plenty of wealth disparity and it’s not leading to jack shit

Period dramas and the original novels they are based on are old timey soap operas.

Philly can have a little riot as a treat, but only if they’ve been good at sports
- Comment on I shot Vancouver with stray bullets today 6 days ago:
it’s interesting because sometimes teams are held responsible for the way their fans behave, and get docked points and such.
- Comment on I shot Vancouver with stray bullets today 6 days ago:
Making it to the finals is a success, and they should be able to handle that.
They don’t make it to the finals all the other years and don’t riot then, which is a bigger failure than making it to the finals and not winning.

- Comment on Soviet Union had a nasty breakup and can't get over its exes 5 weeks ago:
Explanation : The USSR had a flag that was mostly red, with a yellow hammer and sickle in the top left, that was topped with a yellow star outline. The flags of the constituent republics were also mainly red, but had individual little flourishes. The Latvian one is my favourite, but I also like how much the Georgian one stands out.
Red flags are used as a easy to communicate barometer on how advisable a relationship is with someone, if someone has a lot of “red flags” that means sustaining a relationship with that person would be unwise or especially challenging and unrewarding.

- Comment on Sometimes, the Annals of Joseon record Ming stories that even the Ming Annals don’t mention. 5 weeks ago:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veritable_Records_of_the_Joseon_Dynasty
An oft-cited story in the sillok about King Taejong falling off his horse has been used to illustrate the commitment of Joseon court historians to documenting even events displeasing or embarrassing to the king and the extent to which the king could not influence which stories were included in the sillok:[13][14]
親御弓矢, 馳馬射獐, 因馬仆而墜, 不傷。顧左右曰: “勿令史官知之。"[b]
Translation:
The king himself rode a horse and shot arrows at a deer. However, the horse stumbled, causing him to fall off, but he was not injured. Looking around, he said, “Do not let the historians know about this.”
— The Veritable Records of Taejong, Vol. 7, article 4
The historian present defied King Taejong’s order and ensured that not only the king’s fall but also his wish to keep it off the record were documented.[13] This happened in the 4th year of Taejong’s reign, on the 8th day, 2nd month of the lunar calendar, equivalent to March 18, 1404, of the Julian calendar.
