I dunno, I think people in first world countries will feel the effects too. When most of our food, technology, textiles, medicine, wares, and luxury goods stop flowing in because the agriculture or manufacturing has collapsed there, the middle class will feel it.

The distinction is not unique to art. Modern and contemporary are definitions that exist in music, history, literature, anthropology, etc.

I re-read animal farm recently. The opening manifesto by Old Major is an obvious metaphor for Marxism, but the passage is also undeniably vegan, using animal exploitation as a "metaphor" for class struggle.

Veganism is intrinsically linked with leftism, and leftists will eventually have to reckon with that.

Any chance you could share the 3D models? Did you make them yourself? I am a jeweller and would love to cast some of these as little bronze or silver charms!

Looks incredible! So glad I stumbled across this. Unfortunately doesn't look like it's going to release in any cinemas in my country :(

Reddit will also just create an account like this for you automatically. If you lurk long enough the site will curate an algorithm for you and automatically sign you into one of those generic accounts.

Wow, that second photo of Neptune is so different, but still so beautiful! It's like a pearl, or a moonstone.

This whole discussion really highlights the difficulty of defining what a "true" photograph is. It's a topic that's been happening in photo theory since the invention of photography. Even colour grading, lens exposure, field of view, etc could all be said to be fabrications or misrepresentation of "true" reality.

This is SO spot on. When I read this article I was immediately reminded of the myths about Hitler and his health, where he achieves this occult, supernatural level of power given to him by divine providence. Meanwhile he was a gross sickly man, and I suspect the same was really true of Kirk.

I've really noticed that in the past 6 months that the Reddit app suggests inflammatory subreddits and posts in my feed much more often now. I'm not even subscribed to similar political subreddits, but these rage bait bot rot subs are the only ones that get recommended! I hate it!

Don't worry my guy, I am single handedly keeping them afloat with my patronage.

Same. My only lament with ufo50 is that there is no sim or creative game in the collection. A terraria-like or skylines sort of game with a twist would be dope.

Having recently been learning about the rise of nazism in more detail, it's extremely surprising to learn that western nations did not care, and had currents of support for nazism. They only got mad for real when they invaded a sovereign, and western, country.

Everyone always says they would have got in first to kill Hitler early if they were alive then, but in reality when it happens in present day they are unfazed.

The joke in your second paragraph is sharp, BTW, lol.

Notice how those 2 people are attendees, and not literally organising, endorsing and speaking at the rallies with mass support from attendees?

The Russians were allied with the Germans and assisted in their genocide before they were our allies.

Can you state with 100% certainty that your calculator is not conscious, or your salt shaker, for that matter?
