Wasteful straws and protein powder to secretly drug your lib family are both entirely plausible right wing products. But I already told the family about corn 2, they're going to be devastated about having to go back to regular old corn.

Also, does he know he can hire people to do things for him? It really sounds like he's doing literally everything by himself. From business management to general contracting to site security, it's a one man operation.

Here's the thing about the Aztecs no one talks about: they weren't some centuries old civilization that had ruled that area for a long time, like the Maya. They were a relatively young military alliance that had just conquered the Mexican region decades ahead of the Spanish arriving. The brutality and the sacrifices were their way of maintaining control. Their practices to this end were propagandized by the Spanish as representative of native American culture to justify genocide.

Pornography is illegal in Korea, which means that they have a market for softcore porn that pushes the boundaries as far as possible without breaking the law.

IIRC weren’t the Aztecs super hated by everyone else? I think I remember reading that the conquistadors even got support at the very beginning because of that

Some gross person made a public Twitter poll asking folks to predict which former Drag Race contestant will be the next to die: https://twitter.com/lee_fontaine/status/1559026502884364288 Cynthia had liver cancer, and Willow Pill has cystinosis. Dude is just compiling a list of contestants with known health issues and asking folks to speculate on how long they have left...made worse by the fact that he's tagging them.

Banks coined the term "Outside Context Problem" to describe just this sort of situation. Excession posted:"An Outside Context Problem was the sort of thing most civilisations encountered just once, and which they tended to encounter rather in the same way a sentence encountered a full stop. The usual example given to illustrate an Outside Context Problem was imagining you were a tribe on a largish, fertile island; you'd tamed the land, invented the wheel or writing or whatever, the neighbours were cooperative or enslaved but at any rate peaceful and you were busy raising temples to yourself with all the excess productive capacity you had, you were in a position of near-absolute power and control which your hallowed ancestors could hardly have dreamed of and the whole situation was just running along nicely like a canoe on wet grass... when suddenly this bristling lump of iron appears sailless and trailing steam in the bay and these guys carrying long funny-looking sticks come ashore and announce you've just been discovered, you're all subjects of the Emperor now, he's keen on presents called tax and these bright-eyed holy men would like a word with your priests."

Anybody who thinks they can just show up and buy a bunch of property in an effort to exploit a terribly downtrodden region and poo poo on the people who live there the whole time deserves all the bad things that result from their actions. I hope his truck and all his clothes get stolen too so he has to walk his dumb rear end out of town with nothing left. edit: there was some lovely goon a few years back who was looking for places to be a landlord, settled on Pine Bluff because there's a university there and prices are low, and popped into the LAN thread to say "hey guys why does this whole place look like a bad neighborhood, is it not a good place to landlord after all?"

Shame everyone else also got hosed with them i urge you to learn more before deciding a pre-contact people can only blame themselves for being nearly genocided. which other indigenous groups can only blame themselves for their former enemies siding with the french/spanish/brits/dutch/portuguese? which ones would have done so with hindsight, or even an inkling of the threat contact with europeans posed? you do not have to give one to cortez

Yeah most of the cultures of South america hated each other, that was just politics. Saying everyone hated the Aztecs is like saying everyone hated France in Europe. They dont deserve a genocide because of local political opinions. Its funny because Montezuma brought the foreigners in and was very polite to them as you would treat an Emissary. The spanish came in thinking this land was already theirs, accused them of treason, and burned it to the ground. Cortez wasnt even supposed to be there but assumed if he basically deserted his post and came back with a whole bit of land the king would be alright with it.

I was saying the Aztecs shouldn’t be suprised the locals flock to the foreign entity they thought they could use. The Aztecs weren’t even special in that regard that thing happened a lot in history
