  • It’s low hanging fruit and there’s already a bunch of chuds talking about historical accuracies of the cast, so it’s unlikely going to produce much meaningful discourse.

    (Writing and horses were more important than bronze anyway. I think some BritDane just came up with the metal ages to begin with, and they aren’t used with the Americas.)





  • Last week the Trump admin added a bunch of companies to the list of those accused of using forced Uyghur labor.

    Sure enough all week there’s been renewed talk about Xinjiang. They’re trying to get ahead of the midterms, and they got nothing else.


  • Oh I get that. I was once deeply involved in World War 2 strategy games, including development. I have spent more time reading slope armor debates and suffered enough Clean Wehrmacht myth arguments than a normal healthy mind can (or should) withstand.

    I like to think I closed the loop at myself and didn’t subject normies to it.






  • I should probably add there’s also been a community on my instance dedicated to portraying Hexbear, Lemmygrad, and .ml in the worst possible way, usually by taking a single comment or DM out of context. The user running it finally fucked off from the Fediverse just a month or two back.

    Since that community is now being run by overt Zionists who are into spreading outright doctored screenshots, hopefully it’ll fall into long overdue irrelevance. If you ever see the term ‘tankie triad’ that’s probably one of them.




  • It’s all a little fuzzy but essentially the Gros Michel was THE cultivar of banana, but it became susceptible to a disease. It still exists, but can’t be farmed like it used to be.

    The chemical was developed and likened to the Gros Michel variety in mind for it being called ‘banana’ flavor since the Cavendish (i think?) hadn’t yet replaced the world market as the banana cultivar of choice.





  • Not who you’re commenting to, but for me it’s based on wasting/spending the time to read not only OP’s analysis about the Fediverse, but then looking into their comment history and public modlogs for their ‘perfectly polite’ takes that got them banned.

    Which is far more than basing a conclusion on a single phrase.

    People wearing the skin of decency usually gives reason for people to fight on social media. And sometimes people do the research so others don’t have to.
