There are websites that will list “bad” books, including lists of wordcounts of the bad words. That way, you can stay up to date on what to be offended about without actually putting in any effort to form your own opinion.

along with mocking people who have a fetish for flying military hardware.
Which is all of NCD, it’s on the entrance exam.
That’s not remotely close to what I think the world SHOULD BE like.
It is, unfortunately, what I think the world IS like.
I’m also pointing out that if you want that aspect of the middle ages, you can have it right now by also taking all the crappy aspects of the middle ages…
No, but it’s like a dollar per square meter if you’re remote enough…

the movie Braveheart gives a rather accurate representation
That loud, earth-rumbling moan was the sound of every historian turning over in their grave.
And gathering your own firewood, and water, and making twice as much to prepare for winter, and the strongly reduced options.
I mean yeah, it IS fun for a bit, I do medieval reenactment, obviously I enjoy it. But doing it every day absolutely sucks.
In several European countries, people who have favorable views of right-wing populist parties are less likely to have a positive view of Zelenskyy. In Germany, for example, supporters of Alternative for Germany (AfD) are about half as likely as those who do not support AfD to express confidence in the Ukrainian leader (31% vs. 61%). In some cases, the pattern is reversed: Spanish supporters of the right-wing populist party Vox are more confident in Zelenskyy than nonsupporters
Gee, I wonder why.
One man’s total disaster is another’s gleeful happyness
I mean the reality was that the time “off” was spent farming their own land, taking care of animals, fixing the house and doing the insane number of household tasks that come with premodern living. Spend a few days just cooking in a medieval style, and you’ll quickly realize it’s a LOT of work.
Taverns kind of are a thing, they’re just called hotels now.
Good news: take up subsistence farming, no healthcare, no electricity, and make everything yourself, and you too can have half the year “off”.
I always got apple juice when I was ill as a kid, and I was ill a lot. As a result I cant stand apple juice or cider, they taste like sick
I got (and still get) the vast majority of my Ukraine news from NCD memes…
If Russia and the west start shooting eachother, one of four things will happen.
1 - Russia grows a brain and backs down when they horribly lose a conventional war. (Unlikely, unless someone takes command authority away)
2 - Russia kept their nuclear arsenal up to date, and a tiny remnant.of humanity gets to enjoy the Stone Age again. It won’t hurt if you live in a city though.
3 - Only a tiny fraction of their nukes launch, and the west responds proportionally. A lot of people die, but at least we’ll fix global warming.
And when they say “more than 5ft” they mean it’s closer to 10.
Seems like an amazing system when you’re voting between a small number of parties, but the Dutch House elections had hundreds of individuals, with 20 districts with imperfect overlap off individuals. It would be completely incomprehensible for humans to check things.
I also suggest a front that won’t fall off
What’s the point of a flail if it doesn’t even give me a small advantage against shields?
I would argue it means you did something right.
