The "Ring Lady" of Herculaneum was a Roman woman who died around 45 years of age near the ancient waterfront of Herculaneum during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.

She was found surrounded by her gold jewellery and still wearing emerald and ruby rings on her left hand. Her jewellery was in perfect condition.

Apparently, this photo was taken just few hours after the discovery.

i think if you just had a good economic system without the government propping up evil monopolies and in which people are unable to profit in evil and exploitative ways then you likely wouldn't need a wealth cap because wealth would naturally cap out around whatever the wealthiest you can get without being evil is (which is definitely somewhere lower than a billion dollars)

do people still use WP or is there better shit? trying to set up my artist site now

To be an independent woman now is essentially to reject feminism. That's cosmic levels of funny. You can actually shit test an "independent" woman independently into becoming a housewife voluntarily. Maybe classic liberals were onto something...

I've been using Void Linux on servers for years. I decided to finally contribute some packages, and wrote a tool to make it easier to build packages outside of the standard repository. This post covers some useful tools in Void, my voidup package building tool, and many of the issues I encountered which make me wonder if I should keep support Void Linux.

@eriner sure it is, it’s very capitalist for the bottom 90% and a socialist security state for the top 10%.

@eriner — unless you add the adjective “crony”. ;D

Definitely not a free market though!

America is not a capitalist country.

Sometimes, when you are coming up with scenarios for fiction, you have to think if the plot will go well in our current climate.

For example, I have a Strangereal (Ace Combat)-like fictional universe. In it, I have an idea for a 3-way war that happens in said universe. Basically, an island territory is allowed to secede from its host nation, and becomes a quasi-libertarian nation, but this creates opposition from both far-left and far-right factions. In total, there are 3 factions:

* The newly created nation
* A far-left, post-colonial anarchist liberation front comprised of some of the indigenous population along with allies.
* Some far-right, imperial Japan-like country who takes it as an opportunity to conquer the newly independent territory.

All three factions are at war with each other. In the game you are able to pick which faction you are on. The only problem is that I feel like such a scenario would be controversial. I just thought a 3-way conflict would be interesting and this is the first scenario that came to my mind.

Do you think this is fine? I have other stories for this setting, including an American-like country going to war with a country that is like a Modernized Roman Empire.

Most normal people just pull a phone out of a box and use it. Not being a normal person, I OEM unlock a device and flash/de-google it before use. I'm glad I don't change devices often, and that my last phone lasted 5 years. Hopefully the new on does the same:
