It's been the go-to opinion of the (pharmaceutical) medical community right about since... immediately after some states decriminalized.

Part of my 2025 mental and physical health plan has been building and landscaping my little slice of land to go from an unfenced hillside of lawn to a walled and terraced garden.

Removed the sod and got a dumptruck load of granite stones at the start of the year. I am building using a dry stone technique and moving it all by hand on purpose. Currently finishing the main terraces and wall base, beginning raised garden beds now. Every day I move a couple stones into place and it feels like an accomplishment that is quite literally building on itself.

I look forward to seeing how it (continues to) come together.

Ah nationalism.

Like, just remove votes entirely at that point.

A number of communities and instances disable downvoting which helps moderate the behavior altogether. Either people agree and upvote to promote, or they GTFO and/or feel ignored.

Well that was the church, not the conquistadors or the spanish crown and emperor. I believe the history went along the lines of some clergy felt the conquistadors were being a little too barbaric and unchristian, so they convinced the Spanish to debate it a few decades later and eventually convinced them to take a break for a few years.

Most things I recall are often a lottery system of subscribers submitting requests. I was an old subscriber but I started seeing a bit of an unsettling pattern and they got increasingly porny.

I don't blame the artist one bit though. Get that money.

Narrator voice: the Spaniards did not, in fact, "love" brown women.

(It took about forty years after contact for the church to declare indigenous people as actually human with the 'Sublimis Deus' papal bull in 1537.)

Centurii-chan has really captured the market on gooners that celebrate these things. The artist does it all on commissions and the requests they recieve indicate their market is genuinely into that sort of thing.

The first one was fairly clever in that they had probably 50 years of collective ideas and inspiration to work off of. It's a story that needed to push no boundaries and hold to established tropes, with no expectations because it was a ride: perfect for Disney.

Now when Disney gets their hands on an established franchise full of expectations...

"Remember when a colonizing power tried to exterminate your people?"

Haw haw.

Though seriously most Americans think the potato famine was a natural disaster and have no idea why it is called the great hunger.
