the movie Braveheart gives a rather accurate representation
That loud, earth-rumbling moan was the sound of every historian turning over in their grave.
And gathering your own firewood, and water, and making twice as much to prepare for winter, and the strongly reduced options.
I mean yeah, it IS fun for a bit, I do medieval reenactment, obviously I enjoy it. But doing it every day absolutely sucks.
I mean the reality was that the time “off” was spent farming their own land, taking care of animals, fixing the house and doing the insane number of household tasks that come with premodern living. Spend a few days just cooking in a medieval style, and you’ll quickly realize it’s a LOT of work.
Taverns kind of are a thing, they’re just called hotels now.
Good news: take up subsistence farming, no healthcare, no electricity, and make everything yourself, and you too can have half the year “off”.
I always got apple juice when I was ill as a kid, and I was ill a lot. As a result I cant stand apple juice or cider, they taste like sick
If you’re trying to make the argument that google isn’t just a search engine, then I fully agree.
And the 19th, and a large part of the 20th too

Well, they’re funding a fusion reactor. I think that’s very solidly outside of making videogames.
Yes.
Also, they’re very obviously, as you have just pointed out, not just a gaming company.
You monster, what about curryketchup? (I think that’s the English word for it?)
I’ve heard someone with a similar job reply with “does your computer cost more than a house? No? Then I can’t help you”
You are the people comfortable about genocide of Russians and Ukrainians so you could continue to live a more lavish lifestyle in West.
I am very much not comfortable with the fact that Russia is mass deporting Ukrainians and taking their children.
India and China have similar stances on matters, as does Russia, to the point India and China are the only countries in the world to sign a pact of not using nukes first. Why do western nations never sign that pact? 1945 Japan vibes?
Not only has Russia not signed it, Russia is actively using chemical weapons right now, despite numerous treaties about it.
Russia also signed a treaty to leave Ukraine alone if it gave up it’s nuclear weapons, and look how they are respecting it.
Brezhnev was a leader in Russia, not Ukraine. His place of birth does not matter.
Oh boy. You really really need a course in history if you think all the parts were treated the same. It mattered a LOT.
How manipulative do you have to be to claim Soviet Union and Russia (core of USSR) are not the same,
Despite Russia’s best efforts, and post cold-war propaganda, they really aren’t. I think the continued fall from Soviet superpower into Russianpetro-olicharchy should be a big hint.
But, as with most people like you, it’s protection all the way down
In 1971? I’m pretty sure it was the Soviet Union buddy, and Leonid Brezhnev was from Kamianske, Ukraine. As was a majority of Soviet cold war equipment.
I know that doesn’t fit your political preferences and deep seated need to excuse genocide, but facts don’t care about your feelings.
We were saved by Russia’s intel.
No, you were saved by a Soviet intervention, led at that time by a Ukrainian man, by ships mostly made by Ukrainians.
We have flying cars. They’re called helicopters, and they suck for most activities
“AI” is the new “blockchain”. It’s a solution looking for a solid problem to tackle, with some niche applications
That’s not remotely close to what I think the world SHOULD BE like.
It is, unfortunately, what I think the world IS like.
I’m also pointing out that if you want that aspect of the middle ages, you can have it right now by also taking all the crappy aspects of the middle ages…
