"There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves." - Mark Twain

  • The Magnus Archives

    It's a horror audio drama meant to explore fear as a concept. It follows an archivist of paranormal(ish) experiences slowly piecing together connections between seemingly isolated incidences until they eventually start to affect his life directly. Can't say much more without spoilers but it's fire 10/10

  • Thats when you lay down on the floor and accept your fate

  • I'm gonna assume you mean a generous 999,999,999 in which case I would install a central tram system (free to use), remove or thin a significant amount of roads, and build a few affordable housing complexes along the tram line. All with the assistance of those who know more about building effective infrastructure than I do. With anything left over I would fund a food pantry and community garden system.

  • I upvote things I like sometimes when I remember. I downvote things that don't at all belong in the community they are in, get important facts disastrously wrong and then double down, and hateful content.

  • if you insist

  • Thankfully the resources I consume are rarely needed by others in my local vicinity

  • USE IT ALL NOW, RIGHT NOW! IF I DON'T USE IT NOW IT WILL BE FORGOTTEN.

    Yeah in like a llife or death situation I'd be more pragmatic but as it stands I can't just let things sit.

  • Because they get to use them and its free for them to do so. They don't have to have developers on payroll to make some software if the public is making open source code to meet their needs. Its like how university research if freely used by corporations to make immense profit without the researchers receiving a lick of it.

  • Personally I'm far more interested in natural and historical wonders of our world than I am in modern man-made creation. It should be noted that China's major cities are really fucking cool though if you are tavelling for that sort of experience. Both China and Japan have absolutely stunning ecosystems to explore but the absolute enormity of China gives it a greater diversity of environments. They both have fantastic rail infrastructure too so you can see quite a lot of it. Personally I'd choose China specifically for Zhangjiajie national park.

    Zhangye is also super famous for obvious reasons

    Lastly, the Li river is basically paradise imo

  • I see the fact that most people don't care about politics, government, or learning as a symptom of our system of social organization rather than something inherent to humanity

  • Okay so i haven't read against democracy but it seems to take the socrates position. Instead of limiting votes to only the highly educated (which i take as an issue because this disadvantages the poor significantly due to higher education costing lots of money) why not just build a society in which everyone is educated enough to meet the standard for an informed voting population?
