3·8 months agoMaking soap in Dwarf Fortress is difficult, but by no means impossible. No need for your citizens to have unhappy thoughts - or worse get infected wounds - because they can’t clean!
I bought my first apartment because my monthly costs would be like 30% less than rent. Like with many things, it’s expensive to be poor.
1·8 months agoIIRC Osama bin Laden had three reasons for 9/11. One was non-Muslim soldiers in Saudi Arabia (he was salty because Kuwait asked the US for aid against Iraq and not the Taliban). The other was Israel. I don’t recall the third off the top of my head.
3·8 months agoDid you publish these? It would be interesting to read!
Or maybe give some more insight here onto what you mean by “worst interview”. That could be so many things… 😉
While I understand and agree with a lot of what you say, the idea that you can just go somewhere else doesn’t fly. The same argument can be used to justify shops without handicapped accessible doorways, or restaurants where smoking is allowed. After all, you can just go somewhere else…

But for sure that’s a very small subset of videos.
Slaves can also be owned by the state, rather than individuals. Weirdly some empires had slave armies, for example. In other cases slaves have significant rights, including their own property; Roman slaves could save money and buy their own freedom (although many slaves were worked to death in mines, or used for sex, so it was definitely still shit). In some cultures children of slaves were free (technically, although still starting from a terrible position). There was also indentured servitude, where you agreed to be a slave for a limited time period - a lot of people came to the Americas for free, but were slaves for a few years in exchange (before Europeans started buying chattel slaves from Africa, which gave better return on their investment, as long as you didn’t mind being evil).
Chattel is a specific type of slavery:
In chattel slavery, the slave is legally rendered the personal property (chattel) of the slave owner.
I’m reminded that Macs did not have right buttons for decades because Steve Jobbs didn’t want them.
