Had more, but forgot them. Have forgotten at the Turkish and a Miao language phrases.

You can only get the best result in the prisoners dilemma by working with others.

Believing that humans make rational economic decisions is pretty irrational economically.

As is centering economics on a theory that ignores the means of production.

So… 5. Far fewer than I can toast in.

Same boat, and very similar feelings.

Thanks for sharing it all, even if I did inflict reading all 42 questions and responses on myself to continue agreeing with you.

All the best.

I have considered a format that’s “modern, but only with non-UB sets that were standard legal”, to stymie the Horizons rotations (even though I barely play any Modern at all. Too high power for my tastes in general).

Only in one city in the world?

Please don’t let it be in the US, please don’t let it be the US…

London?! Hot pukka pies, that’s totally hench!

Edit: Also looks like an amazing line up for the Film on Film festival. Peak celebration of films, in the medium of film.

Yeah, I - like you - put a quote from Tolkien and a quote from the Quran on the same level in that situation.

A related quote from either is as on topic.

I went back to look at it, and it wasn’t an explicitly linked as I recalled. I’ve been on a couple of Islam related rabbit holes recently, with Sufiism and Alevis, and there’s a strong belief in singing is a praise to Allah/Haq. So I think I just kinda filled some blanks in in my mind.

I very much get being annoyed by seeing your clearly on topic lit post getting eaten, while not apparently linked religious text gets to say.

Silly mods. All the best to you.

Did you read that article, or just post the first news link you found with a headline that agreed with you?

‘No Evidence’ “Dr. Yi is an early and courageous individual to criticize China’s harmful birth control policies,” said Feng Wang, sociology professor at the University of California, Irvine.

But Wang disputes Yi’s conclusions. “Scholars in China and at the U.N. have analyzed these and other data. Not a single person has ‘discovered’ such a huge discrepancy.”

Everyone agrees to not accept China’s figures, but no one can find anywhere near such a big gulf. And you’d think that if they could, more US and Taiwanese sources would be reporting on it, wouldn’t they?

Have you ridden on the Pyongyang metro? What was it like?

Where’s your favourite place to go in North Korea?

What’re some of your favourite books and films?

It’s a shame that a relevant quote from literature was removed.
Poor show on the part of the mods.

Where I disagree is that someone having a quote from a religious thing is invalid, when it’s not actively pushing to convert. Just kinda existing showing religion is there. But I guess we just have different perceptions of what passes for “down-your-throatism”.

Anyhow, all the best and have a good night (or whatever time of day it is when you (or anyone else) read this).

I tend to post more in disagreement than advice or support; a personal failing I reckon. So it’s nice to find less oppositional things to engage with.

I’m glad you got a good pair of headphones. 🤝

If you’re still looking (yeah I stalked your post history to get here), I use a pair of aftershokz bone conduction headphones.

The sound quality is OK but notably worse than my overear noise cancelling stuff.

Still clearly two or three steps up from phone speakers in quality.

The quality of the headphones themselves isn’t great though, the power button fell off after 3 years of regular use, and now the rubber covering is tearing and peeling.

Also, after a few days of heavy use I get a weird headache - but I’m not sure if it’s that the heavy use tends to correlate with busy days at work so I forget to drink enough water, and I get less sleep too.

Do love that I can still get ambient sound. Makes me much less likely to miss my stop when commuting home.

OK, because the way you replied with that off-topic Quran verse to a Quran verse related to the topic of the post made my think that your point was railing on Islam. Not that you were opposed to slavery regardless of secular or religious structures and strictures.

Not that “slavery is bad”, which I also didn’t think needed to be replied somewhat arcanely to posts.

Do we need to write a “slavery is bad” reply to any time vikings or Christianity come up in the comments?

Edit: or that rape is bad, too.

China, and maybe some other Asian countries have a household registration ( hukou 户口) system.

Only people born into the system get to exist for things like schools, national insurance, etc.

So any unofficially born second children (or hidden first born daughters) didn’t get to legally count under this.

Also; children born out of marriage don’t exist for state schools or benefits, either.

Where your hukou is limits your options for access to housing, claims on social security and health insurance, and the like. Mostly if you were born into a very rural area your only pathway to legally having a place to live and for your children to go to school in another part of the country is via university graduation.

There are pushes to change this system, and smaller cities are removing their requirements for non-rural hukou. But Beijing, Shanghai, and other cities you have probably heard of are yet to do this.

Alternate reading: stop running about and breaking the hearts of the unmarried freewomen, if you’re shagging her, do it properly and above board.

Medieval era was, alas, pretty poor on women’s rights and slavery was taken for granted. I don’t think you’ll find any slavery where rape was in practice forbidden.

Unfortunately, the harsh truth was more often a doctor who was tasked with second pregnancies whose job details made all the other hospital staff realise he was a monster.

The fact that there were dozens of Indian Subcontinent heritage American comedians saying they’d love the role, but they didn’t even get to audition for it really drives home how much of this was for PR over doing right for the character and the Indian subcontinent heritage American community.

Don’t get to take it home with you though if that involves crossing international borders.

Not only arms, but also money was raised and sent back to fund IRA activities.

Sure… Not all Americans, but IRA funding and support was pretty widespread in places such as New York. (Not saying it’s not understandable why people with Irish heritage, or Americans in general would support the IRA, just that US support for them was a very helpful lifeline.)

Edit: also smuggling guns into a conflict zone to arm one side is quite substantial help.

Not be, mostly.

The population density in the Highlands and Isles is very low.
