In the romantic sense, someone that seems dumb or childish. I just can't go there without some sense of being a peer.

I've seen it. I can't find what I was remembering now.

There was a Reddit thread where OP was trying to identify a one-leg male thong his gay roommate left on the floor, I think that counts.

There is, trying to find it again.

Edit: I don't think this is what I was thinking of, but here: https://www.candymanfashion.com/

You didn't just talk about it. You said they should all do it, and specifically shouldn't do standard agriculture, like what you depend on. If they find a use for mixed planting, great, and obviously they do sometimes.

There must be software to do all these over SSB, right?

Also, I'd like to plug this related thread from retrocomputing, since it's possibly not just my project anymore:

What painting is this?

I think there's a streak of racism among Westerners who think they know better than the people on the ground, if we're going there.

In fact, the people who actually show up to help have a nickname for your lot: "Great White Savior"

I don't think you're a bad person. Or a racist. I do think you stepped in shit and are digging yourself deeper out of, like, pride.

No, mate. I'm close with actual relief workers IRL. ^Albeit^ ^one^ ^less^ ^as^ ^of^ ^a^ ^couple^ ^weeks^ ^ago^ ^:(^

Keeping the kids out of school so they can work the land so you don't starve is common as dirt. It's as simple as a certain number of hours in a day, and school taking a good half of them. Shit, even farming folk here in the West did similar things a century ago.

Wow, I either missed that or forgot about it. Nevermind.

Maybe I'm a sentimental fool, but I feel like there should be some kind of basic respect for the craft, and doing things the right way just because. I get making bad code to meet a deadline, but not if you have a choice.

Then again, I've never done coding as my main job.

The home provinces of most auxiliaries would not have had the institutional capacity to get money from Point A to Point B on the other side of the Empire - provinces had surprisingly ad hoc organization, in contrast to local cities and the Empire itself.

Hmm, I wonder if that was deliberate. Give the illusion of self-governance and keep local elites happy, while minimising revolt risk and red tape.

I'm guessing both, so they get returns and still have an "oh shit" fund. I doubt it would be good for the oligarchs, at the very least.

Venezuela can do hyperinflation because they have a more ideologically driven elite who will ride out the turbulence. No such luck for Putin; he's a neofeudal lord and has to keep palms greased like it.
