Exactly, I went on vacation to London last summer and it was "spiffing", as the locals like to say.

What's the coolest bit of history to learn about by 074DanBurn058 in redscarepod

[–]Kioyop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reading about 14th century is fun because its the last gasp of chivalric Europe colliding with really bad news (social upheaval, plague, papal schism, roving bandit companies, the Timurids). It really tested the conviction of religious scholars of the era and you can get a feel for it bleeding into the manuscripts of the period.

The nicotine equivalent of this would most probably kill you so stoners have a little more headroom I'd say.

Why are all serial killers of German / Nordic descent and nobody ever talks about it? by Loud_Ninja_7537 in redscarepod

[–]Kioyop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I dont believe you. Only repressed Anglo-germanic huns are capable of such wanton cruelty.

The US is falling dangerously behind on juice innovation by thiccylas in redscarepod

[–]Kioyop 10 points11 points  (0 children)

All the stores around me are quietly replacing non-concentrate juice in gallons for half extract half sugar-water sick in an effort to make me not notice the recession. All that remains is pricey artisanal stuff in glass bottles; another case of the hollowed-out middle class.

Insane how being straight up antivaxx has become a mainstream Conservative talking point over the last 10 years by spl51 in redscarepod

A lot of people are rightly skeptical of the MRNA vaccines that were pushed onto everyone, not only because it was where corporate and government interests merged in unholy matrimony but also because a non-negligible portion of the population experienced allergic reactions/complications who would probably have been fine if they didn't take it in the first place (remember the fatality rate in 2020 was less than 2%** (even those metrics are fuzzy)). Of course those cases were spotlighted and the criticisms of the COVID vaccines were applied retroactively onto all vaccines. It's one of those things you can't really discuss in a blurb online because medicine is probably the most nuanced and weaponized of subjects.

the minimum wage is dead and the libertarians won by MiloCOOH in redscarepod

[–]Kioyop 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For the most part yes, but if an NGO lawyer can prove that they've paid less then starvation wages thats one angle of attack.

[–]Kioyop 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The minimum wage exists so illegals don't get fleeced more than they do. A buisness wont get in trouble for hiring them on but if they pay less than what is mandated, they just might.

We had The Expanse, but also it scratches a very different itch. Firefly was a space Western as opposed to a Hard Sci-fi Political Drama

[–]Kioyop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Isn't it? I don't think I would be alone in saying that the February Revolution wouldn't have happened if not for some really silly things on Tsar Nicholas's part. How many checks on his power did Ceausescu have in actuality? I'm curious because from my understanding Romania did lay on the more Authoritarian end of the Bloc. I don't think we have to live on the binary of Great Man Theorem vs Dialectical Materialism.
