Before Prussian takeover, but we were just as humorless.

Here the guy just paid hefty fine. We preferred to use fines, flogging and few days of arrest for everything but outright murder because we didn't have executioner and we had to bring one from a large town.

Oh, we had a suit over blasphemy here because some guy started trashing another guy against the church bell in a fit of rage.

One of scribes won a case against mayor who called him "rogue, dogcatcher, whoreson, moron, beggar, beast and town's traitor and abuser."

In case of women, one of worst slurs was calling them a "monkey".

Lots of defamation and libel cases. Calling someone a Mazur was considered slur of highest order.

So, I looked up how many criminal cases my town had in 1750-1793, and it's only 6, but then I looked up only crime in the town was murder, everything was misdemeanour. 1/3 of civil cases of almost 1000 cases are about burghers beating up other burghers.

Funny thing is that I have worn cotton male tights under trousers anyway during winter spells, it's normalized here.

Pretty much something thick and breathable, I'm kind of "wear nothing but jeans and T-shirt" kind of person when temperature rises above 20 Celsius, so I don't find reason yet for shopping for any thin nylons.

Black cotton/elastan mix. Advertised to be well worn with jeans, trousers, shorts, dresses, skirts, name it.

Speaking of clothes, it's something more unisex, tracksuit pants, but I feel like I'm in heaven, I copped a pair that ideally fits me. And when I get slimmer, they will still fit since I can tighten them further.

Or my two meter tall aunt when she wasn't overweight before getting older.

God, all these taller basketball and volleyball players here must be getting specially ordered clothes.

I'm so lucky I'm not taller. I'm as tall as one can be in Poland, if you're taller than 6 feet 1 inch, pretty much the ladies' section turns into plus-sized section, and I'm overweight ( working steadily towards not being), but not that heavy as the models demonstrating the clothes and accessories.

So, uhh, since clothes are not issue at least, I bought myself nylons. For future and it's also a kind that will fit well under trousers for colder weather.

The Wright Man: The Incident at the 1988 Wychester West By-Election

By prophetcassandra_on_bluesky

Summary
It is 1988 and Britain is in need of a saviour.
The polarising/visionary Mayor of Wychester, Richard Wright, is the rising star of the Labour Party and might just be the saviour people are looking for. He has been drafted to enter Parliament via a by-election so he can replace the moribund incumbent Labour PM whose government has run aground in a mere eighteen months.

Thursday 18th February 1988 at 22:00. The polls are now closed.
Everyone expects Mayor Richard Wright to win.
Everyone expects Mayor Richard Wright to launch an immediate leadership challenge.
Everyone expects Mayor Richard Wright to be the next Prime Minister.
No one expects Communist Revolutionaries from Richard's past to storm the count.

We need age verification, but for older people using it.

But yeah, fuck AI for very personal reasons.

So yeah, in broad strokes both my closest relatives are supportive of my transition but my mom became bullheaded under influence of the slop machine that you can transition without HRT.

050 5

That's also partly reason why she thinks her oncological HRT has 1) same sideeffects as mine will have 2) is to be blame for her mental problems, and it's my priority now to drag her to therapist with my sister and curb that notions in the bud.

People who swear we should use AI for medical advice and promote that idea will never see the light of heaven or break any cycle of reincarnation.

"Gosh, I'm happy my mom's drug addiction is abating and she even started dropping smoking she picked up." *few days later* AI addiction.

My sister venting to me that our mom got high and started writing her she's "the worse daughter", and that's how she realized I told my mom.

They conflate UK with England in the ending.

Did just Rob Roy good ending accidently imply Scotland is independent from UK.

"J.R.R. Tolkien gets kidnapped by Elon Musk and taken to Mars to reenact the plot of James Cameron's Avatar was not on my bingo card, but I'm glad I watched this video."
