Man, you don’t get off that easy in modern first world farming, much less pre-modern subsistence farming.

People don’t live in houses made out of literal shit because they’re too busy inventing the jig three days of the week; nor do they starve and freeze for lack of material goods because they’re just too lazy to go out and forage in their abundant spare time; nor do they cultivate extensive ectoparasite infestations because that’s the latest fashion. Subsistence farmers don’t work 'round the clock only because there is no fucking clock; people work from sunup to sundown, and often longer.

Is it not braindead to share pop culture myths that can be disproven by a single google search, or am I fucking condemned to forever see this shite along with such luminaries as “We only use 10% of our brain” and “Before Christopher Columbus, people thought the earth was flat”?

Yeah. I’m not shocked or anything, but there’s a very nonzero chance that I’ll be vomiting blood on the floor of my kitchen in the coming years until I exsanguinate.

At least I won’t be a drain on the taxpayers anymore. Thanks, abstainers, for saving a poor wretch like me the immense burden of continuing life.

Don’t worry, plenty of non-Russians think Ukrainian lives are an acceptable price to pay for…

… not really sure what they think they’re getting out of it. But it’s very important that Russian fascists get to genocide all the Ukrainians they want, apparently.

The top three are Shoestring, Curly, and Wedges, though not necessarily in that order. I still have not managed to figure out how the fuck restaurants make their shoestring (and steak) fries so fucking good.

Next are waffle fries and onion rings. They’re okay.

Sweet Potato fries and tots after that. Just not my thing.

Whoever likes zigzag/crinkle-cut fries is a monster. May god have mercy on their twisted souls.

The secret winner though is zucchini fries, which are mana from the heavens.

Fuck’s sake, not this braindead take again.

New And Reformed Floridaman, or Old Floridaman? Because honestly I can parse that as a good deed or a bad one depending on how you want to frame it

See, now THIS is inaccurate.

Relaxation hadn’t been invented at the time

This is what I mean when I talk about how no amount of suffering will turn people to our side.

Suffering will not cure these fuckwits.

Yeah, if a siren texted me this I couldn’t promise I wouldn’t accept tbh

She can make me worse dead

Sirens were ancient creatures of mythology who sang to passing ships, inducing those onboard to throw themselves into the sea.

Just a joke about how content creation is sometimes seen as juvenile, especially for men.

Fucking fascist ghouls. Good on Mamdani for not putting up with it, though it’s horrifying that this is already a fucking concern.

Definitely mugging for the audience

… yes, labor is generally a pretty key piece of economic activity. There’s extensive archeological evidence about the processes of Ancient Egyptian economics, including discussions of obligation, payment, negotiation, etc.

I haven’t seen a Pixar movie in forever, but if they don’t…

Center-left, if we are using those definitions for far-left and left, would probably be social democracy - ie a genuine attempt to redistribute wealth within the framework of a capitalist system.

Center would be Rhineland capitalism - attempts to make a capitalist system with basic controls and direction for the interests of the people or the state.

Center-right would probably be whatever the fuck incoherent shite America has been doing the past 100 years or so, where there’s regulations and a welfare state but the government itself is constantly campaigning against them and shaming its users.

Right would then be the Reaganite trickle-down fever-dream where laws are a suggestion and the accumulation of wealth to the elite is an end in and of itself.

Thus putting far-right as outright fascism or ancapistan.

Where there’s a whip, there’s a way!

Not necessarily. Most people would have been nominally free, and most economic activity would have come from them.
