You must pick a point in human history before the 1950s to be spend the rest of your life in. What era and place would you choose? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

You would still have the same age, gender, personality, skin color, etc. and you would be able to speak at least one local language and would know basic information of the era and place. Your family, social standing, and such would be randomly picked.

Are you done debate perv’ing at me yet, or do I have to find a more scathing way to phrase it?

Yikes. I thought we were having a friendly conversation. Sorry to have upset you, will not bother you again.

I'm a little bit incapable of "friendliness" regarding people smugging at me on some redditor headassery like "nooooooo, there's good points of history" like they're not ancient history (when y'all get to play these 'lul december 1 1949' games) far and away from here or won't all get ruined by usually the same people from 800 AD/CE/whatever measure you care about onwards. It starts sounding like all you care about doing is talking over people in absolutely shit faith.

like they’re not either ancient history far and away from here

They are ancient history and far away. That's the point. Knowing about alternatives is part of anticolonial resistance.

I've figured out that you're using a hexbear term to personally insult me. For the benefit of us both, I'm blocking you now and won't be seeing or answering further comments from you.

I feel sorry for the next person you try to smug at, then. The absolute gall of some of you settlers.
