This does not wholly convince me. I read somewhere on here that even the breathable fabrics of today are heavier than the same blends of previous years because the industrial machines of today are simply more efficient and effective, thus they can fit more fabric within a piece of clothing. The 'breathable' clothing of today often feels unbearable because it's just denser than what previously existed. I would love to wear semi-formal every day, normally, in public, and not be looked at as a freak.

Essentially everyone was sweaty, more or less all the time You washed your detachable collar a lot, wore undershirts, “mopped” your brow with a handkerchief you kept handy….

@SexualTerrorism There is a difference in the ability to perceive a problem and driving oneself insane over its scope.

This is how the majority of organic Humans will come to be by 2150 if not 2100. The vast majority of people will be synths whose body failed them and they uploaded themselves or a copy of themselves. The majority of persons will exist in cyberspace while those interested in civilization, technological advancement, or just being organic-ish will begin to spread throughout the Sol System. Some but not many O'Neill Cylinders. If we get FTL there will be a higher % of organics and cyborgs out there, otherwise it'll be something like 99.9% of persons are synths by 2200. I cannot overstate how simple it'll be just to copy/paste yourself in the future. Hopefully we slowly shutter civilization on Earth and turn it into one big zoo. I morally oppose the theory of turning Mercury into a Dyson Swarm but cannot think of a consistent, non-morally grounded rebuttal to the idea. I'm just "there all used to be trees" posting about the Sol System.

@ManaByte That would require Marvel be interested in telling good stories instead of chasing a check.

Doing a Multiverse Saga re-watch and I’m surprised Marvel never did a show or movie that was set during the Blip.

@pnwguerrilla Did that chicken have a warrant out for its arrest...?

Hot take: Breaking bread with your local Sheriff who is actively telling you to disobey unjust laws, doesn’t instantly mean you are pro LEO “Bootlicker”. I know it’s challenging for the average monke to understand, But a Warlord you must make these relationships for future success and survival. WAGMI ATS

I liked Obsidian before it got associated with AI😠

i do not believe the words of somebody who looks so jewish that they appear to be in severe pain

What part of "American intervention in a Cuban revolt would have caused global, thermonuclear war" do you not understand? We aren't destroying Western Civilization for an island the size of Virginia whom had a comparable population during the Revolution to 1959 Tennessee. "Cuba was a fucking client state of the US after cuban independence... On top of this guess whom supported BATISTA? The cia." Yeah, that's what happens when you fought a war of independence when you're a plantation economy and so industrially undeveloped you make the postbellum, American South look industrialized AND be a neighbor to the United States or any other major world power. Compared to the other empires of the 20th century, we were extraordinarily lenient with our terms and demands. Our Teller Amendment outright forbade annexation of Cuba-- which we did not have to do. We would have turned you into another Puerto Rico if your socioeconomy wasn't so unequal. If America is this great, evil, Yankee Imperialist... Why do you live here? Why do you pay our taxes and abide by our laws? Surely there's some other nation in the Western Hemisphere-- let alone the world-- that would be more conducive not only for Cuban asylees and their descendants to live in but also to plan a regime change for Cuba from. I do not believe Batista's crimes are unique to Cuba or excusable. I believe they stem from Cuba being colonized by Spain instead of Britain, France, or Portugal. France is 50-50 in regards to how her colonies turned out, just compare the Louisiana Territory and West Africa, but Britain and Portugal were more mercantile in their outlook and did not rely on machismo. This is the majority of the reason why Latin America suffers from caudillos, dictators, and a lower QOL than the Anglosphere. I am not implying that it is 'Spanish blood' that has caused Latin America's problems but rather that Spanish Civilization and her descendants enjoy grandstanding to the point of self-destruction. America had repeated military interventions in Cuba because otherwise, there would have been genuine revolts and revolution similar to Fidel's coup take place-- because the plantation and tourist society was that unequal. Cuba was the Dubai of the 20th century. The corruption that occurred in pre-Revolution Cuba was partially American tourists willing to LEGALLY blow money and the Cubans they paid bribing the government but was also the planters, the only other industry of scale, bribing the government. America did not provide Batista with resources in the Sergeant's Revolt or his 1952 Coup. We did keep our military agreement we made 3 days prior to the coup with the previous administration in place, To state that the situation in Cuba is entirely the American's-- or CIA's-- fault is incorrect. Cubans in the U.S. gave up on their country, countrymen, and quite literally fled instead of fighting for their beliefs and country after the Cuban Revolution. Those that left gave up on their island. How is that America's fault? How is it America's fault that the oppressed, Cuban ruralites felt that Communism was better than their current administration? How was it America's fault that Batista, a 20th-century caudillo, was able to coup the former, corrupt government? It isn't. Pull your head out of your ass. I hope that the Communist regime burns and that Marco Rubio is installed as the 16th President of the Republic of Cuba.

@EveryCarpet @For_Macragge @TArchcast @probablytired2 This isnt true at all, the US at any time could have assisted and taken it over. Btw Cuba was a fucking client state of the US after cuban independence The stock crash in 1929 destroyed cuba as well, as most of the wages were earned through tourism.

Hot take. Cuba can surrender whenever they want. Until that point, it's quite simply NOT the USA's responsibility to keep a hostile, socialist country IN the 21st century.

@Cerberusmuscle @Babygravy9 imagine a world so dog it depends on the American Navy for free trade and Chinese Slave Labor for their goods

@Babygravy9 Imagine an administration so dog shit that you legitimately make an enemy of the entire world

Guess it’s happening then…

The other common use for those terms is as shorthand for "not feasible under the current system of managerial democracy", and I do not know why anyone would impose that psychological limitation on themselves at this point.

Reading comprehension test: Failed. We pulled out because, even with CIA support, those rebels would not have won. US air support also would have turned the Cold War hot. no thank you. Cubans are in a bad spot because they ran their government so incompetently prior to the revolution that Communism seemed to be an improvement for the average Cuban than the former regime. the CIA is not responsible for Cuba being a failed state though i will grant you that Communist Cuba survived because America did not topple it.

@EveryCarpet @For_Macragge @TArchcast @probablytired2 Failed revolt? You need to read more about bay of pigs then. CIA pulled most the assets they had promised the cuban people including air support. They left many cubans out to dry. As a cuban, i am all for freeing Cuba one day. But they are in a bad situation because the CIA

Yet another reason why I love Legend of the Galactic Heroes is that it so well addresses a particularly niche topic, but one quite relevant today. “How do you navigate a civil war internally while you’re also fighting an enemy externally?” The answer which Reinhard accurately comes to is that any kind of civil war on one side, while the other remains cohesive, will inevitably result in you simply being destroyed by the side that maintains unity. It’s hardly a genius conclusion or something super profound. Historically Spain showed displayed this when the Spanish Left fragmented on ideological lines while the Right maintained unity and ultimately prevailed. But the Left desired ideological purity over anything resembling a victory, and so they got crushed and ended up with absolutely nothing. This isn’t exactly profound, that internal divisions will lead to your demise when also at war with an external foe. But even though this is a simplistic and obvious concept, there’s many, many people of the Right, primarily the online right, which wants to fragment and splinter things right now and anyone who wants to avoid massive infighting is treated as an enemy themselves. All of this is to say that because this is such an obvious, simple, easy conclusion, anyone who outright wants to fragment, splinter, and destroy the right should be treated as though they are either completely and utterly incompetent and thus to be dismissed, or outright malicious, know what they’re doing, and ought to be treated as enemies. Now, does that mean unity must be maintained forever? Hardly. But something Legend of the Galactic Heroes displays quite well that’s less obvious is how to actually maneuver into the correct position to win such an internal conflict. Reinhard needs to launch a civil war because it’s the opportune moment to do so for him to ascend, and so he ensures a civil war will also occur among his enemies. That’s one of the only time that you can really think about having an internal splintering, if your enemies are in a civil war. The Left is not in a civil war. Therefore, The Right cannot be in a civil war. Further, we are in no position to actually win a civil war. One last brilliance of Legend of the Galactic Heroes displayed is that it shows exactly how one positions themselves for winning such a conflict as well as giving us what is probably our most common pitfall we fall into. Because Reinhard is a young man, who’s operating against old, entrenched, out of touch elites who are failing miserably but held up by inertia. When Reinhard was a child, brash and angry, he tried to simply charge in with a gun and take out his enemy, and nearly died because of it. He realized immediately that opposing a massive foe when you have literally nothing is an absolute exercise in futility which is little different than self immolating for your principles. Instead, Reinhard quickly determines makes himself utterly invaluable to his regime in his capacity to fight their shared external foes. He rises through the ranks, using what connections he has to ascend, even as he fights alongside those he despises. When there’s a period flux, vulnerability, he maneuvers himself to assume the rightful mantle. Where he actually now has more legitimacy than the old Boyars, where he is now able to defeat his internal adversaries and establish a better regime than they. That’s when he launches his civil war. When the external enemy can’t exploit it, and when he’s in a position to actually win. And he does. A lot can be learned from Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

You're stating that nobody can interact with the cultural history of another people or provide an analysis of a piece of art because if it belongs to another nation. You're stating that the author's intent trumps what is: 1. Actually going on in the scene, 2. Objective reality It also just isn't true. People can morally interact with another nation's media or history. In fact, it would be ignorant to wholly exclude the works of another people solely because they are not your own. It is dehumanizing and alienating; done solely because they are 'The Other'. There is no understanding, no growth, no synthesis. In your world, jazz would not exist because Africans would not interact with European instruments. Ethnogenesis, let alone reproduction within a nation, would never occur because two disparate peoples would avoid interacting with one another. Zemo, outside of being culturally literate, has lost more than the average African-American of today, including Sam. His entire nation was dispersed, destroyed, and now there is no homeland for them-- in the United States or otherwise. And it was not racists of a prior century that did this to them but rather the champions of Anglo-American Liberalism, the Avengers, that destroyed Sokovian civilization. In the context of the MCU, who's genuinely oppressed? Sam, a government agent with cutting-edge equipment and the full-backing of the U.S. Government, or an Eastern European that had his state destroyed, his family killed, and was deemed a terrorist because he alone was willing to do what was necessary to prevent anything like Ultron and the destruction of Sokovia from happening again? Were the Sokovian Accords not signed only because of the destruction of these people and the deaths of countless other innocents from the overstepping of the Avengers? Didn't half of the universe die via the Snap because the Avengers were too prideful (Thor), were restrained by other Avengers (Stark), or too incompetent (everybody else) to just kill Thanos? Where was that suit of armor around the world when they needed it? Zemo is entirely correct regarding Mr. Gaye. The writing of this show is atrocious when it could have been the spark to reignite the MCU: 1. John Walker is lambasted at quite literally every opportunity for actions that every other Avenger has committed. 1a. Steve both in WW2 and the modern-day killed hundreds if not thousands of people without due process. 1b. The total kill-count of Humans alone, with or without due process, for the Avengers exceed John Walker's. 1c. John Walker being villified for killing a genetically-enhanced, radicalized, terrorist that just murdered his best friend and was 'surrendering' only because he did not have the upper hand. 1c1. If your issue is John Walker using the shield to kill the terrorist, then I posit the countless times Steve Rogers used the shield to kill exponentially more people, the majority of whom were lawful, unaugmented combatants whom could have been taken into custody, considering Steve's being augmented. 2. Bucky getting out of the truck when Lamar announces he has a government-mandated nickname is ridiculous considering that every single member of the Avengers, including Bucky, also has a nickname. 3. Bucky and Sam facing no legal consequences whatsoever for breaking a convicted terrorist, Zemo, out of what appears to be a federal or even international prison. 4. "You have to do better, Senator!" Is partisan grandstanding and bad writing. It's also incredibly rich coming from a former member of the USAF that has access to essentially infinite funding and technology whose sidekick will become an ineffective Congressman. Sam and Bucky ARE the Establishment, not some Senator who doesn't even get a name. 4a. It's also rich that Sam is getting on to this no-name Senator for failing to help the refugees displaced from the Thanos Snap but there isn't anything I could find outside of lunch proceeds going to help victims of Sokovia. The MCU suffers from having great big-picture moments but either flubbing or actually butchering everything between the moments that make a trailer, screensaver, or action scene. Falcon & Winter Soldier had an opportunity to put meat on the bones of the post-Endgame MCU but blew it entirely.

bucky immediately assuring sam that he likes marvin gaye when sam got upset 😭

We left those Cubans out to dry because their inevitably-failed revolt would have spiraled into thermonuclear war with the Soviets and thankfully the United States was not willing to destroy Western Civilization over an undeveloped Caribbean island. There is no longer any balance against America in regards to Cuba. The Communist regime must go and if the Cuban people are not willing to liberate themselves then America will enforce its foreign policy objectives on them.

@EveryCarpet @For_Macragge @TArchcast @probablytired2 We have tried, we have no support. Last time cubans tried we were left out to dry by the CIA

@For_Macragge @TArchcast @probablytired2 If the Cuban people-- either in America or in Cuba-- cared about their own countrymen they would launch a rebellion. Communism must be destroyed.

@TArchcast @probablytired2 That’s a very callous take. If that report is true those people are all dead because the USA didn’t let Russia send in aid in the form of oil. That’s nothing to do with USA responsibility, it’s USA interfering which is the exact opposite of what you just said.

@EveryCarpet @JoMet21592852 @chimichozes @derguti_endrit @buckified bro it’s not that serious. we’re meant to think him saying that was out of pocket. that’s why sam said “he’s out of line.” i was just laughing at an intentionally funny line from a show and now you’re saying this is why trump won?? pls stfu

in a real world i would broadside him and his cargo sending it all down to Davy Jone's Locker
