Yeah, but the Irish have a particularly nasty structure around their rules of engagement due to their ongoing policy of diplomatic neutrality. Granted they also just became a nation again (in the country time scale anyway) through a “non-war” that ended many British lives, so I guess we’ll see how much they’re willing to tank shots before their government officially goes “Alright, peacekeeping for the UN or not, return fire next time.”
Good advice, my grandpa would do this as a hobby after he retired from the Navy, or he’d give away what he refurbished because he had his pension and other backups.
True as hell! I’ve been noticing the frenzied flock effect spawning misinfo here on the left and I appreciate you keeping me on form for it! Cause you’re right that I should have specified that I was critiquing the state of the law post-civil war, rather than anything the actual modern fascists are playing at.
True on the manipulation as well! Still, thank you again, and peace my friend!
This, I just got back from a night of cryptid huntin’.
Agreed, sorry, I couldn’t tell yesterday if you were pro-prison labor or didn’t have any exposure beyond personal regarding the oddity. I understand they can be kept for the purpose but wanted to give as much context for the shared aspects of the two issues i.e. plantations being converted and prisoners still legally being slaves in case you wanted to know more. Still glad to see productive discussions can still happen on the internet as I didn’t realize how many of the old plantation houses had gone the way of the dodo vis-a-vis maintenance issues, I appreciate the insight! I hope you have a good day!
Also, nicotine serves as a pretty fair appetite suppressant and stimulant, thus why some of us fell into the habit in early college. Easier to justify the cost of a meal a day and a smoke than it is for the supplies to make three squares a day, at least in a food desert.
When I said “major holders” I meant some of the Largest plantations were converted, rather than a majority of All plantations, sorry for not being clearer. I would agree that they genuinely don’t need as much labor due to ag-science development. However, I was also trying to convey what this map https://pudding.cool/2017/01/shape-of-slavery/ shows in words. The main theme of “which plantations” got converted mostly has to do with soil quality due to the Mississippi River delta over eons than it does with race or useful and efficient placement of reform facilities. Sorry for not thinking to go find the map yesterday, lol. (Also upon review this isn’t even the map I thought it was, though pertinent and I may add more, lol.)
Yeah, between working today I have been fighting youtube being unable to tell when my adblocker is paused or not and utterly being unable to scrape it’s own shit enough together to give me ads on the PC.
Lmao, my bad on not getting back to you, but the other feller’s link is pretty much a good summary. Adding a few though because that article doesn’t list which ones have undergone the evolution, lol.

Our government loves to use what it has in terms of resources for as close to free as it can manage. From a purely Machiavellian and pragmatic perspective, it’s sensible, even if it’s utterly reprehensible.
They don’t even really care about punishment, I’d say the real driver for the prison system is just the need for labor and the loophole of enslavement. Most of the plantations that were major holders of slaves are now prisons after all.
Hey appreciate the link, given the source, I found the entire thing to be noncredible, interesting bit of news too, thank you!
Got 0 responses on TinEye, so I’m betting you’re right.
Wolfenstein’s fucking helicopter level on impossible.
Isn’t this also a repeat of the scam that crashed Republic and almost crashed deutchbank?
Ah my bad!
That’s funny, Lead and Coal avenues in Albuquerque, NM had the same thing done to them, being made into one ways after being clogged two ways. It’s wild how much of civil engineering has to do with rate flow.
Oh no are the billionaires squabbling? How sad.
They could weekend at bernies this shithead for two years with chat-gpt and the only tell would be lack of public appearances.
I finally tried Halo Infinite, it’s not terrible but there’s a shit ton more paywalls than there were in say Reach.
