The Unequal Marriage by Vasily Pukirev (1862)
  • The backstory from Google:

    According to the most popular version, this scene is deeply personal for the artist Pukirev; this is his beloved marrying the rich prince. Most likely, she was a poor woman without a dowry and her parents considered marriage with a wealthy, prosperous prince to be the best option for her

  • Trumpworld is a bubble within a bubble
  • This tactic is how he conned them down their rabbit hole and still is attempting to gain more mooks

  • Oh yes Parasyte, loved this scene

  • TIL 70,000 years ago a volcanic eruption killed many humans, leaving only 1,000 human alive in the whole word. This created a population bottleneck which vastly reduced diversity in human genetics.
  • Yes but the point is even that so called diversity is nothing, it's fractions of a percent, mainly certain disease resistances/weaknesses like malaria and genetic disorders IIRC. In the overall human genome the differences are extremely small.

    Separating humans by race is ridiculous the more you dive into genetics

  • TIL 70,000 years ago a volcanic eruption killed many humans, leaving only 1,000 human alive in the whole word. This created a population bottleneck which vastly reduced diversity in human genetics.
  • This event is always good to point out when people discuss anything about race. Humans have very little genetic diversity. Height and color features are nothing, we're basically all the same around the world

  • WikiLeaks publishes "The Intolerance Network", over 17,000 documents from right-wing campaigning organisations globally
  • In the last 7 years they've been pretty one sided on the political propaganda spectrum

  • Montana otter attack leaves 3 women hurt, including one flown to the hospital
  • The statement from the wildlife management seems to imply the women were being idiots, but the news article sounds like they were attacked randomly

  • What are some game genres / styles you like that aren't being made anymore, or are being mde but not very often?
  • The tribes series, or z-axis games, where you are able to move up and down as well as the traditional x-y movement you see in virtually all games. Usually set as shooters, they are fast paced movement games that have a huge skill curve which is why they aren't made that often. Super fun when you get the hang of it though

  • Is there anything that can be done about troll powermods?
  • This is exactly why transparency is great. These people are ridiculous and lose credibility. Keeping everything visible is the best defense against manipulation

  • The creator of Ethereum Blockchain, has donated 55 ETH (valued at over $100,000) to GrapheneOS
  • I don't really agree with how crypto is used/abused but I do appreciate the idea behind it

    It's nice to see support

  • China says US military aid to Taiwan will not deter its will to unify the island
  • It actually is their job. They have several treaties from SE counties trying to avoid being abused by China that go back decades

  • China says US military aid to Taiwan will not deter its will to unify the island
  • Yeah Taiwan has had independence far too long for them to accept being swept into the Chinese system.

    A lot of hypocritical trolling in this thread. Tankie lemmy?

  • Rising temperatures ‘likely to be beneficial’ for Britain, says Lord Frost
  • The models I've seen project at least 5°C drop in temperature for most of the UK if the AMOS fails. You may enjoy the summer a bit more but winters would be harsh if that comes to pass

  • Can we please bring back cloaks?
  • You might think they look cool but they don't work that well when it's actually cold or raining hard

  • Vaccine politics may be to blame for GOP excess deaths, study finds
  • I agree with you, it's in the article. Not sure why people are injecting a new thesis instead of discussing the one presented and researched

  • Maths is hard.
  • Ate the onion

  • The Pentagon doesn’t need $886bn. I oppose this bloated defense budget | Bernie Sanders
  • Well, China is spending money to expand itself. You're right about Nato though, they just want the US to do it all for them and then be the scapegoats too
