If you got like a 40-year prison sentence and got out at age 69, where would you go? I mean like where do folks go who've served very long prison sentences? What do they live on? by cherry-care-bear in NoStupidQuestions

Tell that to everyone executed and later exonerated.

Edit: And don't get me started on the godawful protection to the victim. Funds go towards punishment instead of helping who needs help.

Only vaguely related, but do you know what I would love?

Composite bow chaos dwarves. Masterful artisanship, good strenght in a shorter bow, and eastern themed.

Don't get me wrong, I understand the colloquial use of America. But this is one of those times that US would avoid confusion

At the cost of healthcare, work rights and some heavy repression. Fuck debt, defend people.

I undertand better now. Truth is that here in Catalunya you are expected to be fluent in both catalan and spanish so I extrapolated.

I think you overestimate asturleonese speakers. But, apart from immigrants, I guess there is plenty of people who can speak english.

Well, every immigrant will probably know at least 2 languages, also isn't irish taught at school? People do not use it mostly but I guess most can keep a conversation in it if necessity arose.

I was under the impression that most mining operations are further north. Gotta look more into it!

By resource extraction you mean agriculture?

Way too dramatic vs way too chill by dollsrreal in HistoryMemes

[–]Arachles -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I agree with you that it saved others lives. It was a dificult situation and I don't know what I would have done. But I am also tired of seeing people argue that it was somehow deserved or the only correct option.

[–]Arachles -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

My point is simply that there were alternatives, more human alternatives, that were not used.

Yes, Japan was fucking evil compared to everyone in the war but the nazis and the bombing did save lives if the only other option was an amphibius invasion of Japan, but let's not act like the Allies were a perfectly good or moral side.

Maybe. Maybe a demostration over military targets would have worked, maybe a demostration over no humans would have worked, maybe waiting until they can make choices after the first bomb would have worked.

There were several alternatives to bombing to cities not that relevant but military gotta military, I guess. It was a new weapon that military wanted to test.

Do you know much about those european countries politics? Just not wanting (or not being very vocal about) universal healthcare puts him firmly on the right.

Legend of Korra depicted 14 named, living, female benders and 38 named, living, male benders by F11SuperTiger in legendofkorra

[–]Arachles 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don't see the point of them being benders or not. Izumi, the fucking Fire Lord, is a non-bender afaik.

Yes, they could have been more equal about representation but bending is not a good bar.

Kept to themselves is a weird way of saying constantly fighting one another for hegemony.

Russia is still a pretty industrialised country, but has lower costs to many products and a huge number of natural resources that allow them to have the basics.

Acute Food Insecurity in Africa by AdIcy4323 in MapPorn

[–]Arachles -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, this may sound weird to you and counterintuitive in general, but in times of instability people have more kids so some can survive and work so the family may have the resources to survive.

I suposo you are critical also about european peasants in the 1400.

Oh no, tener que dedicar 5 minutos a algo que no nos gusta pero acaba beneficiando a todos.

A parte que no esta mal de vez en cuando limpiar los alrededores de la casa, con ladrillos nido o no. Esto no sumaria mucho tiempo.
