Time to move to the glorious nation of Kazakhstan, the top producer of potassium, to get some of those magic minerals to protect my countless buildings.

It goes to 9 minutes from 8, since every single communication gadget will yell out that the sun has disappeared as reports come in from the other side of the earth.

I saw the video about Python from Life Of Boris and thought it looked fun, so I just decided to learn programming.

Good meme! (I have no clue what any of it means other than the dates)

My first distrobution was the good old Ubuntu for a laptop that I used for school. I stuck with that for 2-3 years. During that time I really, really wanted to try out new distros, but I didn't want to lose my files and such, so I just stuck with it. During this time I also changed my desktop's os to Ubuntu, but I am not sure when I did it.

After I got a Laptop due to the previous being old and broken, I tried out Arch Linux and grew to love it more than Ubuntu, so I changed out my desktop's os to that as well when I got a new ssd and was migrating to it. I used Arch for another year or two, before my laptop had a disk failure and I had to reinstall. I installed Debian onto it, since I was feeling lazy and didn't want to go through the mess of installing Arch again. And then later I also installed Windows on it with dualboot for games that didn't want to work with Proton.

So basically I now use Arch on the desktop and Debian/Windows on laptop.

I was definitely more active on Reddit, since it had the niche subs I wanted to discuss on. Lemmy has more "generic" content, since it doesn't have the user base to grow those niche communities.

Yeah... it is what it is I guess...

No clue about the constitution, since I am not american, but it would be logical to think that the religous can rule as long as they don't break other human rights.

I mean it kinda does with the whole "freedom of expression" thing it has.

I could be wrong on this, but that's how I interperted it.

[–] TheBigMike@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Because of those pesky human rights that mandate "freedom of religion" or whatever.

Could you elaborate, since I have absolutely no clue what connections significant enough you are making to say this.

Before agriculture people were like that, but as people settled down it created a class system. Then people got more powerful and such and states began to be created.

During this time (Around 4000bce and 400ce) feudalism wasn't really a thing, but after the Western Roman Empire fell around 400ce the power vacuum it created lead to the creation of feudalism. This was because of several factors, but I can't remember them all right now.

But money did exist even before the creation feudalism, since the Romans and the Egyptians did have money. Even in Mesopotamia currency was used. And even if money didn't exist trade was still being done with valueable things like resources and other commodities, which lead to those things becoming a de-facto currency.

So basically pre-agriculture was like tribes that shared their stuff and such, but after agriculture not so much. Of course this isn't a one-answer-fits-all thing, since there are always exceptions.

Sorry for the long ramble. I just got really into writing this thing. Also I could be wrong on some things, since I am writing from memory.
