Why stop there? Why just banks and hiring firms? why not allow access to Law Enforcement and use the phrenology robot to screen for pre crime?

We do take energy from one place and put it in another. In the form of fossil fuels. And we ship it with what energy now?

Not even from an ethically standpoint. Color me shocked if these games are like, playable

I usually just have flings. But I’m still friends with some of them.

Gladly.

I ended up using Cream cheese and I added some Vanilla extract and some nutmeg. I would be curious about some chocolate powder as well. He focused on historical accuracy, and I was thinking those spices all go well together.

this was for a halloween party. I hardly ever cook with pumpkin!

I wasn’t a fan of the texture. It didn’t actually have any flour. It was more of a puddling, with a wobbly center. The party guests loved it, none of it survived to be leftovers.

Most modern people don’t but I feel like that’s because there’s so much of it in everything. The latest episode of Tasting History goes deep on this.

Not counting sugar? garlic powder or Cinnamon and vanilla. I use garlic powder to go with salt and pepper in a 7:2:1 ratio as like a base for everything from tuna salad to bean burritos. Thrice a week I make overnight oats with Vanilla extract and cinnamon.

Note my favorite is smoked paprika, I just know fewer recipes and synergistic flavors.

so with magic?

I would fucking love to burn Ivanka Trump alive. Fuck you, lib

You just asked what does collapse means, and I knew the answer. I certainly don’t know what it would mean for you.

This is something historians struggle with, because “Collapse” has happened before, the most famous of which might be the Bronze Age Collapse, or the fall of the western Roman Empire in 473. Needless to say, those didn’t result in human extinction, or even the extinction of human habitation in those locations (so Greece was inhabited before the Bronze age collapse, but that predates Classical Greece, which we think of as it’s golden age, and one for humanity).

Specifically, it was (natural) climate change or political turmoil (those usually go hand in hand) making long established trade routes and subsistence patterns untenable, and with it, destroying the power of the people who controlled that trade. There was a reduction in trade, as the elites had the money to import, and the disposition to distinguish themselves from the lower classes. There was certainly some population reduction, because food was not moving as much, and populations were reduced to what the locality could support. I want to note that at this point, we see migrations (although we do see violence). I want to thank Patrick Wyman’s podcast for teaching me this answer.

So I think, in this case, I think its likely we see this. The current power structure will probably not survive, although pockets of it may hold on in places, and maybe even survive into the next iteration (so think about the Catholic Church, an ancient roman institution survives to this day). Instead, I expect to see local polities spring up, holding on to or rejecting various aspects of the old world. A process of balkanization implies the rest of the world looks on in horror, but I expect to see some process of it happening everywhere. Immediately, these fragments will resemble the world we recognize, but in the centuries that follow, the world will become unrecognizable to us.

I think its also important to note that like, the destruction of the social order, which would suck for a lot of reasons (like the development of technology like vaccines), doesn’t necessarily mean a “dark age.” Some knowledge was lost (like Roman concrete in the fall of Rome) but I dont think the fall of the modern world precludes the loss of electricity, or motor vehicles, or even something like the telephone.

“civilization” doesn’t even include humanity or technology.

I love it. I might turn it over in my head for a minute

wait did i miss something? Are these two separate people?

He’s being kind of a dick, but not unkind. Try it.

ooooh thats really good

Vanjos? Gelicals? Gotta be something here

I’m aware of the term Christfag. I was there, Gandalf. 4chan also had an incredibly abrasive board culture as a means of social filtering, so {append}fag was their way of referring to someone who had identified as some way, or else for someone to refer to themselves as that thing, usually because they were trying to tell everyone they had unique perspective on what was being discussed. It got to the point where I saw a person open their post identifying as a “Gayfag.”

I don’t like using the term for this because its punching down at an actually oppressed minority who would be caught in the crossfire.
