Oh shit cultural genocide isn’t real? Thank god that means the the irish weren’t kept from speaking you know irish or that occitan is still a thriving and alive language, hey all those kids that got ripped from their families because they were roma and had to be ‘civilized’ it’s ok it’s a relatively peaceful integration program.
Total War games? They are pretty fun you get to throw your stack of dudes into another stack of dudes and the Warhammer series might just be the best because rather than throw roman dudes against carthage dudes you get to throw dinos and lizard dudes against zombie pirate dudes and giant hermit crabs at each other. Every faction is very different not just how they look but also how they play on the strategic map and on the battlefield.
managing to all agree to not kill each other
If only you knew there were like 5 wars between the catholics and the protestants the Sonderbund War which was the latest one was in 1800s and the reason why it managed to remain an alliance was mostly due to that region just being generally poor hence why swiss mercenaries were a thing back then because poor people make good cannon fodder.
Nah modern switzerland came after the US of A, before that it was an alliance of peasants that all agreed on hating the french (sometimes), germans, italians and austrians together. That and a fondness of rolling noble fops in their armor into lakes to see them drown that’s hardly a nation.
Depends really, in the colder climate for example north of the alps yields could increase, some crops would no longer me economically viable to plant like for example cabbages but others crops would give a larger yield so if you are living anywhere that’s not constant rain, fog and misery agriculture is gonna get wiped greenhouses are expensive and hydroponics are for the most part only able to grow leafy greens and of course again expensive.
Les ouvrier américains restent impassibles devant cela, parce qu’ils ne comprennent pas du tout la question sociale et ne sont pas le moins du monde révolutionnaire; il ne faut pas leur en parler, sauf de rares exceptions. -Lucien Pilet 1874
still true today
Several big hedge funds were short on gamestop, some guys on Wallstreetbets saw it and bought stocks and thanks to the increasing price hedge funds suddenly saw their shorts no longer covered and losing some money then that spiraled and now several hedgefunds like Citadel lost 3.5bn$ and Citron lost 2.4bn$, WSB guys basically fucked them and it’s pretty hilarious. Some of the CEOs of those companies tried to “call out” the disruptive traders.
You can’t make a Tomlette without breaking some Gregs
put flour in bowl add water with some yeast mixed into it aim for a certain hydration%, higher hydration = thicker, of the flour add a little bit of salt and let it ferment then throw it into an oven as hot as possible don’t have a pizza stone or anything fancy like that so this is how I do it.
