    I don’t get months of holidays? I haven’t had off in years bro. I get two days off from my job a year I don’t request, I am a chef.

    Peasants always stopped working, work was probably done before the sun was even close to going down. Hunting, fishing, cooking are leisure activities they aren’t work you imagine.

    It took long to produce clothes but you don’t need 47 outfits that are made to fall apart in less than a year.

    150 days isn’t a myth. It is a stretch of the truth but we work more, we have less time. We have more ability to do things like travel or forms of entertainment but no.

    You are confusing the peasants of then with middle class people. The poors, me, we work 40-60 hours a week sometimes two jobs with no vacations often in the hours office workers aren’t working because we are running the movie theaters, salting the roads, cooking your food, etc.

    A 9-5 is probably not actually the peasantry.

    People had more free time and less stressors than we do today.

    I don’t know why you think modern people have more leisure time?

    Peasant work was seasonal first of all, most work wasn’t consistent nor were they afforded wages. Most works resulted in a direct product for the person doing the work, cooking, clothes making, farming.

    You don’t understand how much leisure peasants had. Most culture we consider today is from peasant work. Dancing, music, song, joking, and while cooking is work cooking is also a social gathering of work and then eating. Peasants weren’t the working class we are today, we work far more and have far more chores to do. Making clothes by hand was harder but your quality was higher and clothes lasted, they didn’t shop for groceries or deal with car upkeep, they didn’t spend 8 hours at work and an hour traveling both ways.

    Peasants were peasants because they didn’t have work to do and generate income with, it was literally mostly chores or leisure.

    This is why the black plague was helpful, less people meant workers could make more demands and we see the beginning of a work culture develop.

    but that would still be considered leisure today.

    do you know how many times i leave for work wishing i had time to do a load of wash, clean my bathroom, do the dishes or any other chore?

    yeah they had chores and we could debate that is work but they had more leisure time absolutely


  • Lol but the article isn’t painting anything in a bad light? Just me?

    Gaza is in this position because of Gaza right? And Hamas isn’t helping because they’re ~bad guys~ ooh spooky.

    Doesn’t mention Israel forcing Palestine to this point with restricting aid and overall self autonomy. Doesn’t matter this crisis is happening because Israel is attacking and also not allowing citizens to leave Gaza. None of that matters.

    Palestine has been forced to this point by Israel. Hamas is doing what a fighting force would do which is shitty but is more justifiable than what Israel is doing.

    So fuck off stupid, this article is trash

    Bro what is you talking about we can see through the astro babe.

    You suggested people are supporting Hamas not the Palestinian civilians, you literally said

    I’ll believe it when I see it.

    It’s literally all over this thread and many others. People support Palestinians. You’re seeing it and not believing it.

    Now this is your response? Fuck off Israel’s government are a bunch of pussies fuck yo shit








  • I personally think it ain’t even that big but literally same. They were just studying viruses for all potential, bioweapons to vaccine research. Covid itself wasn’t made for any particular reason it was just the one that got leaked from the lab.

    China’s biggest fault was not realizing at some point on an infinite timeline there will absolutely be a leak, how do we respond? And they lied about the initial leak and infection.

    Other than that, playing with viruses what else did we expect? I don’t think any malice was attached to the leak, just as you said, stupidity and probably some arrogance.
