The reason the Right doesn't gather and protest like the Left is that narcissism is at the root of those protests. They do it so they can then show it off on social media. The Right tends to be less narcissistic.

@tongbingxue Asked Grok: “A laborer, Deng heard colleagues discussing how executioners earned significantly higher wages—reportedly 10x more than typical manual labor, plus bribes by prisoners' families seeking a quicker or less painful death. This motivated him to pursue the profession.”

China's last executioner Deng Haishan (邓海山), ca. 1910s.
He beheaded over 300 people before the Republic of China legalized execution by shooting in 1914, breaking the traditional rule that executioners should never kill more than 100.
After he lost his job, Deng lived in poverty and isolation. Shunned for his deadly aura, he never married and had no children. One freezing morning in 1925, a street vendor found him dead on the roadside.

My newest stupid idea is we should merge the Scandinavian languages. Let’s invent a new one that’s basically the average language. Mandate that it’s used for all public broadcasts. People would learn it in a few months. 25M speakers.

The victim's parents are far more responsible for the murder than the bully's parents, and if any parents are going to be charged with murder here it should be them.

A 10-year-old boy is dead because he was driven to suicide by constant bullying he received at school. Sammy Teusch of Greenfield, Indiana was bullied up until the night he took his own life according to his family. Bullied over his glasses. Bullied over his teeth. Day after day. His parents didn’t ignore it. They didn’t stay quiet. They went to the school 20 times asking for help, that’s 20 TIMES! Nothing changed. He was mocked. He was hurt. He was even attacked on a school bus. And still… nothing was done. Until it was too late. His dad said: “I held him in my arms… something no father should ever have to do.” I can’t get that out of my head. This isn’t “kids being kids.” It’s cruelty. And it’s failure from the adults who were meant to protect him. Bullying has no place in any school. None. And yet here we are. How many more kids have to be pushed to this point before something actually changes? PLEASE SHARE AND MAKE SAMMY’S STORY VIRAL SO NO ONE HAS TO SUFFER LIKE HE DID. 🙏 END BULLYING, BECAUSE IT KILLS!

Türkçe
In Constantinople, the French academic doctor Pitton de Tournefort (18th century), witnessed the "impalement" of the Christian Greeks from the Muslims: "They lay the victim face down, after tying his hands behind his back, place a donkey saddle on his back, and two of the executioner's assistants sit on it to completely immobilize him. Another one holds his head pressed to the ground with both hands. A fourth assistant tears open the back of the victim's trousers with scissors. Then the executioner drives the stake, a wooden spit, as deep as possible. Next, he takes a wooden hammer and strikes the stake until the sharp end emerges at the chest. They then lift the stake upright and plant it in the ground. And as the poor wretch suffers, the Turks mock him, ridicule him, and call on him to convert to Islam and embrace the Muslim faith."
Pouqueville also recounts the tragic end of the Greek Thymios Vlachavas from Thessaly, following the uprising of 1808. He saw him in Ioannina, bound to a pole in Ali Pasha's courtyard: "calmer than the tyrant who was enjoying his torment, he looked at me with a serene gaze, as if wanting to make me a witness to the triumph of his supreme hour. He endured the executioner's blows without groaning or complaining. And the limbs dragged through the streets of Ioannina showed the terrified Greeks the remains of the last captain of Thessaly."
Kandyloros reports that the Muslim Kehaya-Bey "disembarked in Kalamata in 1805 carrying twenty thousand stakes for the impalement of the Greeks. He advanced inland, captured and impaled about six hundred of them."
Another form of torture was "the hooks." They consist of a scaffold erected at the entrance of cities. The executioner hoists the condemned man high on a pole using a pulley. Below the pole are fixed hooks. Then he suddenly releases the rope, and the condemned man falls with all his weight onto the hooks, impaling himself sometimes in the chest, sometimes in the armpits, or elsewhere on the body. And they leave him there to die. Often death comes after three days.
All these were inflicted on the Greeks who refused to embrace Islam and Muhammadanism.
Homer Pavlos@HomerPavlos
The most common torture inflicted by the Muslims during the Ottoman period was whipping. The usual victims were the Christians. It was the introductory torment in every other torture, so common in the persecutions of Christians that the phrase became proverbial: "I will whip you until you change your faith." The victim was tied with exposed back, their clothes torn, and the whipping began. The executioners were usually Turkish soldiers with robust physiques, so that the blows were both critical and powerful. The number of blows was either predetermined by the court or (most of the time) left to the discretion of the executioners. Muslim judges (qadis) observed the torture. If the victim showed that they could not endure the completion of the number of blows and their life was in immediate danger, then the judge placed the Quran under the executioner's armpit. Unable to raise his arm high (since the holy text must not fall to the ground), he delivered the remaining blows with less intensity. After the whipping, the victim was often left helpless without care, or thrown into prison. In most cases, permanent disabilities remained on the body. Also, one of the harshest tortures of the Ottoman Muslims was impalement. Crowds surrounded the victim and mocked them, suggesting they convert to Islam and insulting their faith, family, and nationality. The stakes were set up in a specific area, usually in the village or town square. The victim was dragged there in public humiliation, as usual. After being severely whipped, their clothes were torn, their hands were tied tightly behind their back, and they were "seated" on the stake. Then weights were hung on their legs so that they would slide down and be skewered on the stake. In many cases, the sadism did not end with skewering the victim. The spit (with the victim on it) was placed horizontally over a fire or burning coals, and the victim was roasted alive like a lamb. The fearsome and terrible Ali Pasha of Ioannina was famous for slowly roasting his victims, thinning the coals under them to prolong the agony and the entertainment of himself and his entourage. In many cases, he forced relatives to torture and kill their own kin to avoid impalement and roasting themselves. I have an interesting story to tell you on my next post. Stay tuned. I know what you are thinking. The religion of peace.

@patbahn @Chris_arnade Saffron used to be grown in France and even England. Look it up

Possibly ignorant question: I’ve read extensively about the spice trade and its importance to ancient and medieval Europe, and its centrality to the Age of Exploitation and other things.
Given Europeans had these spices, that some were claimed to be as valuable as gold, and that both periods were sophisticated in farming and botany, why didn’t anyone figure out how to grow their own — even in small amounts in greenhouses, which they had in various forms?
Alchemy was supposedly a big deal. Was there an equivalent systematic attempt at spice cultivation? Why didn’t it motivate greater greenhouse innovation?

@DeryaTR_ 9x safer than an average affected by addicts, illegals, carjackers and street takeovers. How much safer than the same Tesla driven by its owner?
English
9x safer means tens of thousands of lives saved if every car had FSD, and millions of accidents averted every year. Eventually, self-driving cars will be 100x safer, and it will be a major risk and liability to drive classic cars.
Peter H. Diamandis, MD@PeterDiamandis
Tesla's FSD: 5.3 million miles between accidents. US driving average: 660,000. That's 9x safer. And it's only getting better.

@naryamie9 @kacloud9 @mohammadonx @Tanyaelisabeth Putting faith in a system is a key component of being a bad parent. Keep making excuses and this will only continue
English
I don’t think they are bad parents.
I think they put their faith in a system that failed them because it’s not about our children.
I’ve seen so many stories like this. My daughter being one of them. You work within the system but it failed. I pulled her out to homeschool and it made the existing problem worse, because despite being miserable she wasn’t ready to be alone with herself.
We have done children a disservice by pretending that the new age way of education is beneficial for children in the name of “socializing.”
Putting 30 kids from various walks of life into one classroom creates a toxic environment because people are naturally envious and entitled.
Life needs a massive overhaul.
English
I do not understand why we miss the logical conclusion of just taking your kids out of school???
I was also bullied relentlessly and begged my parents to get me out of school and they never did??!!?
Grown adults wouldn’t even go DAILY to a place where they would be constantly mistreated and abused, so why the hell do we make children do it?

The idea that most of civilisation's early accomplishments came from the med/fertile crescent is simply the result of survivorship bias.
Modern archaeology shows that it's more complicated. The earliest fire, spears, wheels, and even writing are found in Northern Europe.
