What are you trying to accomplish here?

Everyone else: next one is September 1st.

Yeah, I think that about sums it up.

But also the work itself is never the worst kind of work. Everything that must be done as a matter of survival in a society like that is stuff that some people do as hobbies in a society like ours. It probably helps that there is no one thing that anyone has to do all day every day.

Also their leisure time was probably much more fulfilling. They sang instead of listening to Spotify, told each other stories instead of watching movies, played sports instead of watching professionals do it, etc.

I suspect drudgery is a symptom of modern societies and not a natural state. Imagine being part of a small tribe of nomadic people 500 years ago. When the hunters return to camp with an elk and it’s time for you to help tan the hide or what not, are you really going to feel put out because it interrupted the game you were playing with beads and sticks? I doubt that.

Uphill both ways!

Dude is a pos, and old, but ageism like all bigotry is always wrong.

I don’t think more difficult is correct, just different. Take cars as an example (because I don’t know anything about the engineering of large buildings): In the 1930’s and 40’s it would have been completely impossible to design and build a 2020’s car. But the cars that they did build then were not “more difficult” to design and build.
Engineers don’t work harder when they get new tools, they just make different things.

Because of how trademarks work.

180 years ago Columbia University was not in the sportswear business.

Still named after the same asshat italian “explorer.”

The words ‘neoliberal’ and ‘liberal’ are not interchangeable. The most effective neoliberals of the 20th century were Reagan and Thatcher.

Thanks for connecting me to Pirate’s Press! Great stuff!

Also a good catch.

Speediraptor just sounds silly. Not nearly as scary as velociraptor.

It should be distanceraptor / time

Otherwise the raptors cancel and you just get velocity.

unfortunately imigration courts aren’t real courts. They are part of the executive branch, not judicial.

Unfortunately there are a few too many young men who think that all looks “fun.” They’ve been playing at all those scenarios in video games their whole lives, and now they want the real thing.

I identify strongly with the frustration in this sentiment.

But you do realise the US is the foremost nuclear power in the world? Right?

That’s why the world should have done anything and everything possible to keep US from falling into fascist hands. But now it’s too late.

Pretty much every life form on Earth chews food with their face then shoves it down.

The vast majority of life forms on Earth have neither a mouth nor a face.

There’s no good reason to think aliens would be similar to animals. they could be like plants or fungus, or something entirely new.

This is the easiest chicken or egg riddle ever.

I hope you’re right.

I have doubt, but also hope.

ETA = Edit to add

Just trying to explain why my comment changed, in case anyone saw it before that LOL.

Ooooo, look at mr. “I’m sane” over here!

jk. good advice.
