because “developed nations” are filled with self-indulgent narcissistic selfish people who would understandably spend their resources, all that time and energy, for something more enjoyable than trying to breed some more self-indulgent narcissistic selfish 💩

Ivory Coast

why did the U.S. invade Iraq when Venezuela is so close?

Is that what’s going to happen soon?

wouldn’t that rather be carbon monoxide poisoning?

can you post some photos?

also, can you drill holes on clay and use cork plugs at first before taking them out for fruition?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Horde

The Golden Horde, self-designated as Ulug Ulus (lit. ‘Great State’ in Turkic), was originally a Mongol and later Turkicized khanate established in the 13th century and originating as the northwestern sector of the Mongol Empire. With the division of the Mongol Empire after 1259, it became a functionally separate khanate.

seems like i’ve got some reading to do

did he take prince’s throne or does the illustrator think mongol warriors carried thrones with them?

not only thrones but pedestals too?

Now who would’ve expected a Tolstoy short story with a link to the anarchist library eh. (Not me, that’s for certain)

if you study anarchism, you’ll meet Tolstoy and Gandhi too at some point. So, no surprises (t)here.

a quick visit to Wikipedia would give you this ☞

Tolstoy had a profound influence on the development of Christian anarchist thought. Tolstoy believed being a Christian required him to be a pacifist; the apparently inevitable waging of war by governments is why he is considered a philosophical anarchist. The Tolstoyans were a small Christian anarchist group formed by Tolstoy’s companion, Vladimir Chertkov (1854–1936), to spread Tolstoy’s religious teachings. From 1892, he regularly met with the student-activist Vasily Maklakov who would defend several Tolstoyans; they discussed the fate of the Doukhobors. Philosopher Peter Kropotkin wrote of Tolstoy in the article on anarchism in the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica:

Without naming himself an anarchist, Leo Tolstoy, like his predecessors in the popular religious movements of the 15th and 16th centuries, Chojecki, Denk and many others, took the anarchist position as regards the state and property rights, deducing his conclusions from the general spirit of the teachings of Jesus and from the necessary dictates of reason.

With all the might of his talent, Tolstoy made (especially in The Kingdom of God Is Within You) a powerful criticism of the church, the state and law altogether, and especially of the present property laws. He describes the state as the domination of the wicked ones, supported by brutal force. Robbers, he says, are far less dangerous than a well-organized government. He makes a searching criticism of the prejudices which are current now concerning the benefits conferred upon men by the church, the state, and the existing distribution of property, and from the teachings of Jesus he deduces the rule of nonresistance and the absolute condemnation of all wars.

His religious arguments are, however, so well combined with arguments borrowed from a dispassionate observation of the present evils, that the anarchist portions of his works appeal to the religious and the non-religious reader alike.

As for the origin…Hungarian is a weird language.

a weirdo indeed ☞

Hungarian is a member of the Uralic language family. Linguistic connections between Hungarian and other Uralic languages were noticed in the 1670s, and the family’s existence was established in 1717. Hungarian is assigned to the Ugric branch along with the Mansi and Khanty languages of western Siberia (Khanty–Mansia region of North Asia). However, there is debate on whether that is a valid grouping. The classification of the Hungarian language as Uralic has historically been the subject of intense scholarly debate, with a number of prominent linguists arguing that Hungarian is a Turkic language. Historically, the language was written using the Old Hungarian Script, an alphabetic writing system born from the Old Turkic Script.

When the Samoyedic languages were determined to be part of the family, some linguists initially assumed that Finnic and Ugric were closer to each other than to the Samoyedic branch of the family. That is now frequently rejected.

The name of Hungary could be a result of regular sound changes of Ungrian/Ugrian, and the fact that the Eastern Slavs referred to Hungarians as Ǫgry/Ǫgrove (sg. Ǫgrinŭ) seemed to confirm that. Current literature favors the hypothesis that it comes from the name of the Turkic tribe Onoğur (which means ‘ten arrows’ or ‘ten tribes’).

librairie is a bookshop and not library.

and, yes, it’s confusing.

writing about politics on lemmy is liking pissing in the wind. This is my last comment under this map which speaks for itself.

if it was “bullshit” or if it wouldn’t change anything, these nations would have recognized Palestine years ago. The fact that they waited so long shows that it was “something”.

Again, if it wouldn’t change anything, Israel wouldn’t react to it.

I can’t understand this need to minimize. If Israel exists today, it’s because of these nations that are turning a page today. Circumstances have changed but they still are the shadows of nations that carelessly designed what they call “middle east”. This map and it’s latest modifications should be taken into consideration with numerous other maps that’s drawn since 19th century.

defeatism is more tiring than defeat itself.

Yet this is the great diplomatic Master stroke of our left of center governments in the West.

Macron is left of center⁉️ He was central for this “stroke” and if you think that he is “left of center”, your map is upside down.

Anything short of sending their Navy and Military to land food on the beach and physically defend handing it out is bullshit at this point.

if you think of Palestine’s recognition by these nations as “bullshit” at this point… i wonder who i’m writing to. It of course is not enough; but it’s not “bullshit” either, especially if you consider who is the emperor since January.

misunderstanding is my fault. i implied but haven’t finished my sentence. Should be better now after the edit 👆

can you explain what you think i’ve missed?

sad to read all that but thanks for the information. I try to avoid political communities because of all the bigotry and hate they attract but if staying on a lemmy instance would mean supporting lemmy devs (even if i disagree with them)… edit to finish the sentence: it would be difficult to justify staying on lemmy

i feel good about sh.itjust.works , but it’s still lemmy 🤷

can that be ☞ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laetiporus_sulphureus ?

rosemary indeed + white wine, onion, pepper and nuts.

we’ll try with butter next time

i’ve already picked in the past from a neighbor tree. Red fluid that oozes just after cutting it from the tree and the taste of it raw + the inaturalist identification. So, i feel pretty confident about it. But i would like to know more, if you are suspicious about it. Maybe i should stop eating these?

what do you think it is?

that’s what the oak said

I get Spain, but why is it that so often with these maps Eastern Europe shares the same word as the Arab world?

Ottoman empire ruled the eastern Europe for some centuries and Ottoman language was a mixture of Turkish, Persian and Arabic.

but i assume that the elephant is Indian influence rather than Arabic. IIRC, that’s also where the game is conceived

edit, yes, it literally is an elephant ☞ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaturanga
