The artist admitted it was her face.

‘Her’ meaning the politician, not the artist, which I assumed on 1st read of your synopsis :) Like damn, the artist just straight up converted the fresco into a direct propaganda piece.

Also of note — the fresco was a recent modern piece of work, not a historical protected one.

Piefed has community migrate and merge tools. I’m not familiar with them, but maybe you can look into whether they let you move your existing subscribers over directly

I don’t remember Gloomhaven, but JotL and Frosthaven both had very good tutorial levels that got you started with the concepts without needing any prior knowledge. Maybe they learnt from GH.

To be clear, we’re not doing it because of ethical concerns, but because porn and conservative bullshit.

To be clear, at least in my mind, it’s not that you’ve got a reputation for deep historical knowledge. It’s that you’ve got a passion for history, and the willingness to put in the time and effort to share it with the rest of us in a way that’s very accessible!

Just spent half an hour trying to find a comic I remember, about Mario bashing a koopa on the stairs while it begs him to stop, but god Google has deteriorated to the point it’s useless, and DDG isn’t doing any better. Oh well, no witty reply to this comic about Mario’s glory days.

Let me introduce you to The Wandering Inn… Webnovel and longest work of writing in English ever.

I’m Chinese. They’ve accused me of being racist against my own race for things like Xinnie the Pooh. .ml is a joke.

Idk, the history of Nobel peace prize winners does not fill me with great confidence in their skills

People kept having kids even in bad conditions.

Generally due to a lack of education, birth control, and bodily autonomy. Now that that’s available, kids are way too expensive to have. I say that as a parent myself.

Add to that the uncertainty of whether they’re gonna be invaded at any time
