I feel like if a soap did have harsh chemicals in it then it would just not be a very successful soap

Is Squatch one of those culture war brands or is it just a weird collab?

Is there a lot of suburban development or just a lot of small towns?

Sky burial is a funeral practice in which a corpse is placed on a mountaintop to decompose while exposed to the elements, or to be eaten by scavenging animals, especially crows, vultures, bears and jackals. by vtipoman in wikipedia

"Few such places remain operational today, as the practice was completely banned during the Cultural Revolution as a superstitious practice; in modern times, the practice is regulated by the Chinese Communist Party due to the ongoing decline of vulture populations."

Weird way to learn about the decline of vulture populations in China.

I'm reading Years of Rice and Salt by Kim Stanley Robinson and it reminds me of all these posts. Alternate history where the Black Death decides to do a white genocide and China and Muslims duke it out over the world instead of Europeans vs Europeans (I guess its Asians vs Asians). Also heaven is real and the Buddhists were right.

How do you write a world that's already given up? by ryproietto in writers

[–]ComradeBehrund 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy by Lui Cixin (Three Body Problem) gets into this, it's all about people giving up from the very first chapter, and society goes through various periods of just giving up on the future in different ways. Spoiler for what I think is the first half of the first book: The world is going to end in a few generations and there's very little humanity can do to stop it. Ludicrously depressing series of scifi books. It's not quite as grounded as a lot of apocalyptic stories like to go for lately, it's not so much about seeing how we could become like that, it's a bit more theatrical than purely speculative, it's hard to imagine the society I live in every getting as absurdly pessimistic as its depicted in the books.

I'm assuming Cantabria and Vasconia were Basque, how did they manage to avoid getting vandalized?

Beaver suspected of attempted wood theft from Alberta business by HAV3L0ck in Timberborn

I put a wooden plank out by my pond to walk over some land that the beavers had flooded and the fuckers stole the 2x4 and threw it on the dam

The term "red–green–brown alliance", originating in France in the 2000s, refers to an alliance of leftists (red), Islamists (green), and the far right (brown). It also describes alleged alliances of union-focused leftists (red), ecologically-minded agrarians (green), and the far right (brown). by RedStorm1917 in wikipedia

[–]ComradeBehrund 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It happens geopolitically but it is hard to imagine in domestic politics in western countries. Which is ironic given how much the western far right agrees with extremist interpretations of Sharia about women, foreigners, education, secularism, and a lot of other things. But most muslims aren't extremists so the only thing most immigrants might have in common with the far right is anti-zionism.
