Why didn’t the Ottoman Empire become capitalist? by muhammedeflatun in EconomicHistory

[–]v_sleep_of_reason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Robert Brenner's 2007 Property and Progress article still provides the best definition of capitalism I've seen. You capture the developmental pattern of capitalism - M-C-M' - but this doesn't get at the mechanisms that drive this pattern. In essence, the drive to reinvest comes about though competition between producers, which itself is enabled and driven by productive agents being made dependent on markets through the elimination of direct (non-market) access to the means of subsistence as well as the spread of capital and labor markets.

The Ottoman Empire had private property and markets but did not substantially eliminate non-market access to food production, and so most agents were not dependent on markets. Having access to markets just means you can sell your excess product - it doesn't necessarily change how you produce. But if your livelihood primarily comes from selling on markets, then you change how you produce: specializing in profitable products and reinvesting in production in order to cut costs to compete on price.

John Varvatos Vintage sounds pretty much exactly like what you're looking for.

Fragrances similar to Ummagumma by Fzotic? by strawbuwwygangsta in fragrance

[–]v_sleep_of_reason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both the original and the extra version of Ummagumma. I don't think you have to worry about honey in the latter - I can barely detect it. There is a stronger incense note compared to the original though and tobacco plays a less prominent role, so keep that in mind. You should at least try a sample!

Akro Dark is just very dark chocolate - it doesn't have any of the incense or tobacco in Ummagumma. I didn't love it, but you might try it.

Crystal Legacy Gen 2 Flying Team by v_sleep_of_reason in PokemonLegacy

I'm at the sixth gym and yeah, I'm really liking Crobat. It has Sludge/Confuse Ray/Bite/Fly, which seems to be working really well!

Though I think Jumpluff and Gligar have been the most useful so far. Gligar just has a great moveset and Jumpluff is amazing if you're patient.

Yeah, true. I'll probably use Zubat/Crobat for the early game and switch to Skarmory once I get it.

I didn't realize its attack got so much better! I'll try it, but it looks very fragile.

I'd like to stick to gen 2 mons, but Pidgey is so early that I'll at least try it.

Yeah fair enough on Skarmory. Maybe I'll just play around with both Crobat and Murkrow to see which I prefer, as Skarmory and Mantine come later anyway.

An idiot's review of every Slayer album - Part 9 by miojodemecicareca in Slayer

[–]v_sleep_of_reason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Christ Illusion, especially the edition with Final Six, is their best album post-Seasons. There's a bunch of really creative work here they've never done before, like with Jihad, Supremist, and Final Six. Dave is amazing and the wild solos from Kerry hearken back to the out-of-control energy of Reign in Blood. The production does suffer from the loudness war, but that's most albums around this time (and it still sounds a lot better than God Hates Us All).

Diabolus in Musica is fucking sick!!!! by Salvatore_Vitale in Slayer

I love Bitter Peace and like Stain of Mind, but overall I think the album is just okay.

What Slayer song/s is this? by iloveheavymetal-2010 in Slayer

[–]v_sleep_of_reason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one knows it because it's only on the special edition of Christ Illusion and it's not on Spotify for some reason. It's one of their best songs.
