Those are amazing!

Highly recommend Firefox with uBlock origin, and there’s an addon called bypass paywalls clean which does exactly what it says.

Deuteronomy 20:16-18

16 However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. 17 Completely destroy[a] them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the Lord your God has commanded you. 18 Otherwise, they will teach you to follow all the detestable things they do in worshiping their gods, and you will sin against the Lord your God.

טז רַק, מֵעָרֵי הָעַמִּים הָאֵלֶּה, אֲשֶׁר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ, נֹתֵן לְךָ נַחֲלָה–לֹא תְחַיֶּה, כָּל-נְשָׁמָה יז כִּי-הַחֲרֵם תַּחֲרִימֵם, הַחִתִּי וְהָאֱמֹרִי הַכְּנַעֲנִי וְהַפְּרִזִּי, הַחִוִּי, וְהַיְבוּסִי–כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוְּךָ, יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ יח לְמַעַן, אֲשֶׁר לֹא-יְלַמְּדוּ אֶתְכֶם לַעֲשׂוֹת, כְּכֹל תּוֹעֲבֹתָם, אֲשֶׁר עָשׂוּ לֵאלֹהֵיהֶם; וַחֲטָאתֶם, לַיהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם.

I usually cook, but every now and then I get a craving for cheese stuffed crust pizza. It’s not a daily thing! xD

TIL. I guess there’s good CEOs after all? Also never knew Little Caesars sold stuffed crust pizzas. I’ll be ordering that for dinner! Thanks!

TIL. Looks like they’re out of stuffed crust at my local grocery, but I’ll buy them next time they’re available. Thanks!

Please elaborate, or point us in the direction of some book, video or resource that might parallel the two? I’d love to learn more.

Congrats!

Ah, but see, the beauty of the English language is that 50% of the time we don’t actually care whether something is spelled properly unless it’s formal academic writing or something official. We can make do with whatever, and guesstimate our way through almost anything!

The written word. Just think about how much that has completely revolutionized communication all around the world. We can receive firsthand accounts of events from thousands of years in the past, on the other side of the world, from a civilization that hasn’t existed since the Pyramids. We can learn the sagas and myths of countless cultures around the world. There’s a good reason that the very act of writing itself was considered magical for eons. In many ways, it still is.

Samurai. Literal nobility, regular baths, nice clothes, fitted armor, regular training, and at least during the Edo period, low risk of actually having to go into battle (doesn’t apply during the prior periods of course). Good food, good rice wine, poetry and music, good literature, intellectually stimulating conversations.

Contrast a cowboy - saddle sores, dust, caked sweat from weeks without baths, cholera, gangrene, bandits, native raids, long hours, and the blazing desert sun.

And the pirate: nothing to eat but hardtack and freeze-dried cod until you make port or board a merchantman, hunted by the Royal Navy, surrounded by fellow pirates who haven’t bathed since the last port call, constantly alternating between seasickness and landsickness, cramped quarters belowdecks, constant risk of drowning, and when you finally go on a raid, you’re getting shot at by grapeshot and 16-pounder roundshot at effectively point-blank range.

Samurai, any day. raises cup of green tea

Same, I want this place to succeed!

Ooh! Will you be posting some clips of your works here?

The Lord of the Rings trilogy, extended edition

Spoke for a solid hour with Peter Zeihan, author of The Accidental Superpower, at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey. Very knowledgeable, and much taller in real life than I expected. I highly recommend his books.

Yes. Look at the 2008 housing crash, and tell me average investors are intelligent.

Both of those are also true. Add in one with Reddit, Twitter, TikTok, Threads…

Revolution it is.

I don’t think it’s official, but there’s certainly !interestingasfuck@lemmy.world here. Aka https://lemmy.world/c/interestingasfuck , I don’t know the equivalent of r/. /c/interestingasfuck?
